"The thing that strikes me is, all evidence Indicating clearly to me, that (the party demonstrations) definitely and deliberately are planned for the purpose of Inciting riots and for revenge and not to accomplish any results insofar as the defendants themselves are concerned or to satisfy their grievances."

WASHINGTON The Senate passed 55 to 33 and sent to President Johnson Wednesday night legislation boosting the Tninhrmwi wage from $1.25 an hour to $1.60 by 1963 and bringing 8 million more workers under the law.

The final congressional action squelched a stiff fight by Republicans in the Senate to make changes in the compromise bill and to delay the $1.60 floor until 1969. The legislation, first major labor bill passed by the 89th Congress, was sent to the President in almost ex- actly the form he requested. The House had passed it last Wednesday 259 to 89. Som Republican sena-tors, joined by several southern Democrats, made a last-ditch fight against the bm. But they failed In their plea that the compromise version be rejected so it could be sent back to conference for watering down.

The bill will raise the minimum wage to $1.40 Feb. 1 and to $1.60 a year later for 29.6 million workers now covered by the Wages and Hours Act of 1938. torney for the American Civil Liberties Union here, speaking as a friend of the court, told the judge that banning the Saturday march. would be an infringement on Rockwell's constitutional rights.

"The evidence indicates that it (the march) seeks to incite riots. I think that this is definitely shown to be a conspiracy interfere with, the Jewish worship during these few holy days.

Our Constitution protects the right to worship as we choose The judge, who is an Episcopalian, indicated he would have ruled the same way if an organization hostile to Christians chose to demonstrate in predominantly Christian neighborhoods during Christmas. Rockwell said he will obey the order, which applies to Chicago and the 26 counties of northern Illinois. IH bet my life that this ruling will be reversed in a higher court," Rockwell said. "But until it is, I won't violate it and will call off the march." Still pending against Rockwell is a petition by the Jewish War Veterans that he be permanently enjoined from holding rallies and distributing anti-Semitic and racist literature. Rockwell said during CHICAGO A federal Judge Issued an order Wedneiday fobidding George Lincoln Rockwell and his American Nazi Party to demonstrate in Jewish neighborhoods here during the Jewish high holidays.

The number of marchers would have been limited to 100 and they would not pass a synagogue or wear Nazi storm trooper uniforms or swastikas, he said. Rockwell said the aim of the march was to "petition some of the Jews to cease supporting- this Communist and Negro civil rights movement that has resulted in so much bloodshed." About a dozen members of the Nazi Party, most of them young men in their 20s, sat as spectators in the courtroom and nodded and smiled approvingly when their self-styled "fuehrer insulted Negroes and Jews. In summing up his case, Luis Kutner, attorney for the Illinois chapter of the Jewish War Veterans, charged Rockwell with having a "mongrel mentality and venting his sick psychopathic hatred in the courtroom.
