Seek to avert a long squabble over wage bill
Washington Aug 3 Administration leaders moved to avert a long wage and hour bill controversy by pressing the House to take up the Senate approved measure. The House labor committee split over standards, with amendments seen as a potential death warrant for the bill on a test vote. Leaders hoped to settle the issue within three weeks and adjourn. The Senate aimed to take up Wagner housing provisions and the court procedure bill, while the House banking and Agriculture panels examined housing and crop insurance measures.
