New Farm Minimum Wage Law Takes Effect Next Feb
Washington AP says a new Congress act brings farm workers under minimum wage rules, but only about 11 percent of farms and 390000 workers will be affected. The law sets initial farm wages at 1.00 per hour rising to 1.15 and 1.30 by 1969, with exemptions for family workers, piecework hires, students, sheep herders and cowboys, and employers with fewer than 500 man-days per year.

AP report from Saigon notes Johnson dismissed a monsoon offensive as not materializing, while observers say the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese have shifted to allied forces conducting most operations. A buildup nearing 328,000 U.S. troops enables spoiling actions and deters large Communist attacks, with real combat now led by American units and mobile operations.
