Under .the leadership of Con– gressman Adam Clayton Powell, a new day is dawning for the Education and Labor Committee . . . and a vastly improved day when contrasted with the pre– vious six years I have spent on that Committee. The professional level of the staff has been im– proved, and Committee ac~vi ties have been stepped up al– ready. The Subcommittee structure has been completely re-organiz– ed, with six standing subcommit– tees and three ad hoc subcom– mittees. The Education and Lab– or Committee will be considering about 40% of President Ken– nedy's legislative program. I was deeply pleased to be as– signed to the chairmanship of the Select Subcommittee on Edu– ness before us will be the higher education bill recommended in the President's recent education message to the Congress. These proposals will include a scholar– ship program, loans to institu– tions of higher education for the construction of academic facili– ties, including laboratories, class– rooms and libraries, and the ex– tension of cClllege housing pro– grams. Hearings have been tentatively scheduled for March 15, 16, and 17th. I am looking forward to these hearings and the rest of the session with real optimism in regard to school legislation. The President set the tone in his education message: "We do not undertake to meet our growing educational prob– lems merely to compare our achievements with those of our adversaries. These measures are justified on their own merits– in time of peace as well as oeril -to educate better citizens ru; well as better scientists and sol– diers. The Federal Government's responsibility in this area has been established since the ear– liest days of the Republic-it is now time to act decisively to ful– fill that responsibility of the six– ties." Other legislation which has been assigned to my Subcommit– tee includes: National Defense Education Act Amendments. There will be proposals to ex– pand the loan program, and we will, I am sure, be hearing testi– mony on the repeal of the dis– criminatory negative disclaimer r•=========:;r-------:-------, affidavit.

S. armed forces units and a visit with the King and Queen of Denmark. For Miss Jackson, currently on a Far West swing which ends in Sante :Fe, New Mexico, March 18, the European trip will be her second venture abroad. In 1952, the New Orelans-born gospel singers' tremendously successful hope we can give this Act very careful study. Juvenile Delinquency Legislation Proposals now before the com– mittee include grants for train– ing of personnel and for re– search. Migrant Children Of particular importance to Oregon is the question of how the of educating the children of mi– States can meet the growing costs gratory farm workers. These chil– dren, whose parents cannot form a dependable part of the taxbase of the states and school districts through which they travel and work, are ,in many cases, simply not being educated. Oregon's La– bor Commissioner, Norman Niel– sen, and his able assistant, Tom Current, have done pioneer work in highlighting the needs of these children (and of the parents.

"But Now," Mahalia says hap– pily, "the Lord has given me a brand new body and I'm going to see the Holy Lane-the place where the Lord suffered and died. It's going to be the most wonderful thing that ever hap– pened to me." The Mahalia Jackson audience with the Pope is the inspiration of syndicated columnist Ed Sul– livan, a Mahalia Jackson devo· teee. Miss Jackson has made nu– merous appearances on the Sul– livan show. The American gospel singers' visit with Denmark's King Ft·ed erick the Ninth and his Que~>n is the result of an invitation the monarchs extended Miss Jackson when she sang for them at a Chicago reception given by Mayor Daley during their recent visit in America. On her European tour Miss .rackson will be accompanied by Alfred Duckett, syndicated col– umnist for Vital Information Press, who will take leave from VIP to handle press for the gos– pel star. Mildred Falls, longtime accompanist to Miss Jackson, will also be in the party. (Continued fr()m page two) Biemiller reiterated the AFir CIO's stand that the Administra· tion's wage-hour bill is too mod· est. He conceded that labor was prepared •to accepl very similar terms last August, "as better than nothing," btit stress~ that "the circumstances were far dif– ferent." "There was, for example, the virtual assurance of a Presiden– tial veto if a stronger bill emerg– ed," he recalled. Specifically, Biemiller called for an immediate $1.25 wage floor for workers already cover– ed, rather than the $1.15, $1.20, $1.25 escalator proposed by the administration. He asked for coverage of retail establishments having $500,000 or more in gross annual sales, rather than $1 mil– lion, and urged the inclusions of hotels and restaurants, certain logging operations, non-profit hospitals, transit and shipping lines and food processing opera– tions, which are excluded in whole or in "part.
