George S. McGovern.

The bill, still far from enactment, would bring a $2.8 billion pay increase (annual basis) to be shared by 6.1 million workers beginning shortly before the nation decides in November whether to install McGovern or President Nixon in the White House next year. McGovern, stung Wednesday by the AFL-CIO executive council's refusal to endorse him, flew back from his vacation retreat in Custer, S.D., to line up with the AFL-CIO on a 47-46 vote which killed the administration's bill and cleared the way for adoption of the Democratic measure. SO CLOSE WAS the vote that senators on both sides said before hand that they did not know who would win. The Democratic bill, a bread-and-butter issue to organized labor, would raise the minimum wage from its present $1.60 an hour to $2 this fall and to $2.20 two years later. The administration bill would have made it $1.80 this fall and $2 next year, but would not have extended coverage to new categories of low-wage workers.

The Democratic bill would extend minimum wage coverage to 7.4 million currently exempt low-wage earners, a Please See Page 7, Col. 6 PARIS (UPI) The semi-public Paris Vietnam peace talks ran into a stone wall on the problem of political power in South Vietnam again yesterday with no success evident from U.S. negotiator Henry Kissinger's private talks with Vietnamese Communists Wednesday. President Nixon's special adviser was hardly back in Washington after a six and. a half hour private meeting in Paris with Hanoi's top negotiators when delegations to the weekly Paris conference on the war entered the international conference hall in sticky July heat.

DESPITE THE secret talk and the unprecedented announcement about it on the same day by both the North Vietnamese and the United States, the delegations in speeches made public clung to the same opposing positions. U.S. Ambassador William J. Porter said "there was a slight improvement iu the tone of exchanges but nothing discernible on substance. We don't demand their acceptance of everything we propose.

But I couldn't evoke from them any kind of statement which indicated their proposals ere negotiable." Porter, in a conciliatory-sounding statement during the session, almost begged the Communists for "rational discussion of the difficulties we have with each other's position."

Africa Regime Ouster Eyed UNITED NATION'S, N.Y. (AP) The U.N. Council for Namibia, or South-West Africa, told the Security Council last night there is an "urgent need for the removal of the illegal regime of South Africa from the international territory of Namibia."

Bobby!" The American challenger's victory squared the 24-game, $253,000 championship match with the Russian world champion at 2lA games each. After Fischer played his 27th move, a bishop to his queen rook five taking a pawn, Spassky looked intently at the table for a full minute.

Then he looked up at Fischer and held out his hand. THE CROWD went wild, stamping their feet, clapping hands and yelling, "Bobby! Bobby!"

O'Brien to serve as his peacemaker with the party's old guard yesterday and claimed most of the AFL-CIO's 13.6 million members were in his camp. The Democratic presidential nominee rebuffed a day earlier by the AFL-CIO's executive council, interrupted a vacation in his native South Dakota to join Senate liberals fighting to raise the minimum wage and extend its coverage to millions more workers.

The state's decision came during Tampa's recent water crisis, when St. Joseph's Hospital and a number of other interests here complained, according to J. B. Miller, administrator of the division's water supply section in Jacksonville. MILLER TOLD The Tribune he was unaware of recent ivater improvement contracts approved by Tampa, but noted he had requested information on city plans last October and had received no reply.

City Water Supt. Sam Lock-wood said the city had not previously restricted extensions of water to any areas in the city or near the city's water distribution lines. He also said the city had planned to extend water to "about three or four subdivisions." BUT HE CALLED the state's action "fair." Asked if that did not involve a contradiction, in light of having had no plans to halt extensions, he replied, "Very possibly." Asked if the city needs to halt extensions, he said, "I'm not in a position to make any statements concerning that."
