House Committees 8 AM Appropriations State Departments subcommittee, Room 109. By KEN JUMPER Mfnneipolli Tribune Staff Writer House Delays Benefit Law Debate By SAM ROMER Minnapolli Trlbunt Staff Writer The Minnesota House Monday postponed until Thursday debate on the proposed overhaul of the state's jobless benefit law. The absence of Rep.

George French, Minneapolis Conservative and the bill's principal author, because of illness was one of the reasons for delay. MEANWHILE, Gov. Elmer L. Andersen continued his efforts to secure legislative support for amendments to the senate-passed measure. Shirt Maker May Leave Range in Wage Dispute The Senate Labor Committee Monday heard a warning that Cluett, Peabody and which operates three shirt factories on the Iron Range, may leave the state unless "learners" are exempted from the state's $1.15 minimum wage law.

The firm operates plants at Virginia, Eveleth and Gilbert, employing some 660 workers. Morris Greenberg, Eveleth, the company's attorney, said the state minimum wage order governing manufacturing industries, which applies only to women and minors, does not include a lower rate for learners. As a result, he explained, the company is unable to get a federal "learners' certificate" which would allow the firm to pay a lower rate to newly hired employes until they are trained. Greenberg did not refer to the possibility that the company may pull up stakes, but Roy Westman of the Virginia Chamber of Commerce did. Failure to give the company the exemption it seeks, he said, "could well spell the end of Cluett, Peabody in Minnesota." Robert A.

Olson, president of the Minnesota AFL-CIO Federation of Labor, said the unions will oppose the exemption provision. The committee postponed action until a later hearing. Greenberg told the committee that 232 shirt plants in 25 states have learner certificates, of which 133 are located in Southern states.

Peter said Monday the group will ask the Minnesota Legislature to act on its findings. "It's becoming extremely apparent that further financial support should be given to the security hospital by the legislature," said Chair man William bcott, state public examiner. "I'm certain that the committee will be asking for permission to convey to the appropriate legislative committee the results of our study when it is completed," Scott said. Since Feb. 12, the governor's committee has been investigating charges that guards physically abused patients.

Two guards were suspended last week when they admitted dunking a patient's head in a toilet bowl. The committee has con centrated on trying to prove or disprove specific abuse charges. But Scott said yes terday a deficiency in the treatment program has be' come obvious during the in vestigation. The boy, Carlson said tried to enlist in the armed forces to evade the responsibility of marriage. But, Carlson said, he was prevailed on to stay at home while arrangements were made for placement of the child in an infant adoption home.

AS A RESULT. Carlson said, the two teenagers went i back to their schools and avoided an unhappy marriage. Douglas Juneau, assistant Hennepin County attorney, said there "has been a tremendous increase in the number of unmarried father" cases referred to his office. The first two months of 1963, Juneau said, saw 57 new complaints. But, he said, social workers can help the legal section of a county by "helping get people together." In many cases, he said, circumstances indicate that the people involved would better solve their problems by getting married.

"He said that in a paternity case a civil complaint is superior to a criminal com plaint because the man involved is more receptive to the civil action. He also pointed out that a man may be tried in absentia in a paternity case. Juneau said lie detector tests have been used in paternity cases on a voluntary basis. They are most effective, he said, on persons of "low mental caliber." Guinea Prices Cut CONAKRY, Guinea W) President Sekou Toure has decreed a 10 per cent rollback on prices. He also ordered stricter steps against currency smugglers and handlers of contraband goods.

St, tfowi Ji VaTMpBjwwBBBjBjHj The preliminary layout for the eastern section cf Henne pin County's $25 million crosstown Hwy. 62 was unveiled at a public meeting Monday. The county is about to draw the detailed design on this section, running from Portland Av. to the Veterans Hospital, Kent Youngdahl, county highway administrator, said. The Minneapolis and Richfield councils will now be asked to approve the preliminary plans, Youngdahl said.

If they approve, the county will proceed with the final design. THE KEY change in the proposals presented yesterday was a plan to locate a bridge over the freeway and grade crossing in the vicinity of Bloomington Av. Original plans had called for a bridge at 12th Av. S. Residents had opposed the original plan because they said it would encourage too much through traffic on 12th Av.

Minneapolis officials, however, had said the bridge was needed to provide such services as garbage collection to persons living south of the freeway. "The bridge at Blooming ton is a good answer to the problem," Minneapolis City Engineer Gordon Bodien said at yesterday meeting. NONE among the 25 at the meeting raised objections. Youngdahl said the county was willing to build a pedestrian overpass in the vicinity of 12th Av. to accommodate school children and bus patrons.

The first two-mile section of the crosstown highway, between Hwy. 100 and Xerxes Av. was completed last year. Contracts on the stretch from Xerxes to Humboldt Av. S.

wiii be let about May 1, Youngdahl said yesterday. The state and county also will award contracts on a series of bridges along the route this year, he said. During 1964 and 1965, grading and surfacing will be com pleted to the eastern end of the freeway, he said. Jesuit Leader Dies LONDON, England (Reuters) Father Cyril Martin-dale, 83, a leading British Jesuit scholar and writer, died Monday. The father of an illegiti- mate child is likely to be a married or divorced man and probably is the father of a legitimate child or children, the 70th annual conference of the Minnesota Welfare Association was told Monday.

The association is in a four-day conference at the Leamington Hotel. The meetings will end Wednesday. One of the many discussion panels held yesterday concerned "Casework With the Unmarried Father." The typical unmarried father, the listeners were told, is: About 30 years old, a man who in about 50 per cent of the cases is married, or has been married, and has legitimate children. His education level is relatively low (without a high school diploma) and his skills as a workman vary between common labor and skilled classifications. In such cases, welfare workers usually try to convince the father that he has certain responsibilities re garding the child.

Last year there were 129 men who were ordered through action in Hennepin County District Court to assume certain financial obligations as fathers of illegitimate children. ONLY RARELY, a speaker said, is a man excluded from the possibility of fatherhood on the basis of blood tests. Allan Carlson, supervisor of the Hennepin County Welfare Department, said that only about one half of one per cent of such tests definitely prove that a man is not the father of an illegitimate child. He said there are about 000 cases in the county in which unmarried fathers are being asked to contribute to illegitimate children. The last step in such collection cases, he said, is to refer the matter to the county attorney office for court action.

Carlson said that schools of thought which lean toward marriage between parents of illegitimate children are not necessarily pursuing the best solution. He cited a case where a 15-year-old girl was made pregnant by a 16-year-old boy. In letters to several key legislators, i 1 I the principal senate and house authors, the governor urged far-reaching changes in the bill to ease its impact on sea sonal workers. Andersen declined to comment on his proposals, ex cept to say, "I am seeking a good, strong unemployment compensation bill passed." But informed sources said he stressed two amendmens one which would liberalize eligibility standards and the other to allow seasonal work ers to draw benefits for long er periods. THE BILL, as it passed the senate, proposes to raise maximum weekly benefits for unemployed workers from $38 to $45 and extend maximum duration of bene fits from 26 to 30 weeks.

However, it would also eliminate some 15,000 persons now eligible for benefits by requiring them to have earned at least $30 a week for 20 weeks. It also would cut benefits for another 20,000 seasonal workers by reducing their benefit period to about half of the weeks they have worked as low as 10 weeks for 20-week workers. THE GOVERNOR, it was understood, is concerned about the 20-week eligibility requirement in its effect on construction, mining and sinv ilar industries. His proposal would keep the 20-week requirement but, as an alternative, would let workers qualify for benefits if they have earned $1,500. Andersen also proposed to extend the benefit period for seasonal workers from the proposed 10-week minimum to at least 14 weeks and set it at 70 per cent of weeks worked.

TO FINANCE the added benefits which will be paid if these amendments are adopted, the governor urged the taxable wage on which employers pay a payroll tax be raised from the present $3,000 per employe to a high er figure, perhaps $3,600. In making these sugges tions to the legislators, the governor was careful not to present them as an ultima turn." As a 'result, according to sources close to Andersen, the proposed amendments have been given "encouraging reception" by Conserva tive leaders in the house. A ANNOUNCING THE BRAN IFF FAMILY PLAN 'flB in the liquor business." The women clapped for Soltau, too. "When you speak of con trol, that's out the window," said Henry Schultenover, executive secretary of Minne sota Licensed Retailers. "All it is is a profit motive." Rep.

John A. Yngve, Plym outh Conservative, author of the bill, said most enforce' ment problems arise at on sale stores, not off-sale stores. The hearing ended with a decision to have a subcom mittee study all bills related to special municipal liquor legislation. House Gets Proposal to Tax Colored Oleo A bill to put a 10-cents-a pound tax on colored oleomargarine was introduced in the Minnesota Legislative House of Rep-a resentatives Roundup Monday. It is a com panion bill to one that cleared the Senate Tax Committee last week.

Main author is Rep. Harold J. Anderson, Minneapolis Conservative. Ready for introduction in the house today is a bill calling for annual sessions of the legislature, with a 90-day limit during odd numbered years and a 60-day limit during even-numbered years. Rep.

Glenn A. Blomquist, Onamia Conservative, announced these subcommittee hearing dates on a bill to limit public housing: Proponents, 7 p.m. Monday; opponents, 7 p.m. Tuesday, in Room 3 at the Capitol. MISERY! Lasts 6 Months or Mori Dtaturita lain 6 month or mora.

Mayor AI lilies and Village Attorney Carl Dever pleaded for the right to vote on the question at a hearing before the House Temperance and Liquor Control Committee.

DEVER SAID law enforcement would be easier at a municipal store than at a privately owned one. Rep. Francis LaBrosse, Du- luth Liberal, disagreed. He said it is more difficult to police a store run by a local government than a private one where the owner's license can be revoked for violations. "As far as I'm concerned personally, we wouldn't need any liquor stores in the state of Minnesota," said Rep.

Roy H. Cummings, Luverne Conservative. That statement brought applause from 40 Dassel and Cokato, women in the hearing room on a Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) tour of the legisla ture. CUMMINGS WENT on to support the idea of a mu nicipal store. "If you're going to sell liquor," he said I feel this is the best way to sell it." Mrs.

C. L. Jaeger, WCTU lobbyist, said that previous votes in the village (Mmne tonka has voted several times to remain dry) have indicated "they don't have any great, big, tearing need for this type of legislation at present. "We are 100 per cent in fa vor of free enterprise, whether it's for the liquor business or any other busi ness," said Henry J. Soltau, director of the Minnesota Good Government League.

"THERE ARE thousands of people out there that don't want municipal liquor," he said. A municipal store, he iubi. Scleatiflcallr desliatd con ptu.it for titiat ihrinkiii ind ma rtttiiion.
