Senate Opens Bretton Woods Battle Today
The Senate faces a pivotal debate on joining the Bretton Woods system with the United States subscribing to the IMF and IBRD capitals. Administration leaders expect approval with votes to spare, while Republicans issue a minority report condemning the plan as wasteful and futile. The outcome may foreshadow votes on the United Nations peace charter next week. The minority report challenges $3.175 billion IMF and $2.75 billion bank capital subscriptions as pointless.

Senate Group Urges 65 Cent Basic Wage
A Senate labor subcommittee backed a resolution aiming to raise the minimum wage from 35 to 65 cents an hour. The proposal would empower the War Labor Board to consider 65 cents as substandard and encourage amending the Fair Labor Standards Act to expand coverage while preserving optional wage increases by employers. The measure cites 10,600,000 workers earning under 63 cents and notes the plan is permissive, not a mandate, with the board free to set higher rates if needed.
