THE MIAMI HERALD Wednesday, April 19, 1961 $1.25 Wage Survives 2 Stiff Senate Tests Final Action Due Today WASHINGTON (UPI) President Kennedy's $1.25 an hour minimum wage bill survived two big tests in the Senate Tuesday. The Senate first rejected, 63 to 34, a conservative-backed substitute offered by Republicans. Shortly afterward, the Senate also turned down 63 to 34 an amendment by Sen. Richard B. Russell, This would have knocked out all new coverage under the administration bill, retaining only the proposed $1.25 an hour increase for those now under the wage-hour act.

Final Senate action on the administration proposal is not expected until Friday. Ten Republicans joined 53 Democrats in voting against the GOP substitute. Ten Democrats, mostly Southerners, and 24 Republicans voted for it. The substitute bill, sponsored by Senate GOP Leader M. Dirksen of Illinois, failed despite last-minute concessions designed to pick up support from middle-ground senators.

Dirksen had agreed to accept an amendment by Sen. Thruston B. Morton, Ky.) to raise the hourly minimums to $1.25, the same as those provided in the administration bill. It orginally had pegged the wage at a top of $1.15 an hour. Dirksen explained his main opposition was directed at the administration's proposal to extend wage-hour act coverage to 4.1 million new workers, not the dollar wage minimums.

The House last month approved a far more restricted bill. WCKT-TV Honored for Cuban News NEW YORK (AP) Television station WCKT-TV of Miami won a George Foster Peabody award today for its coverage of the Cuban crisis. The awards have been presented annually for 21 years for distinguished achievement in television and radio. The award was presented at a luncheon meeting of the Radio and Television Executives Society of New York in the Hotel Roosevelt. WCKT-TV was cited "for responsible leadership in the prompt analysis and exposure of problems incident to the Cuban crisis through such programs as 'Compass Points 'Cuba on the Move' and 'Leave or WCKT-TV's award was in the category of distinguished locally produced programs.

Dean John E. of the University of George's Henry W. Grady School of Journalism presented the award, which was accepted on behalf of the station by Niles Trammell, the station president.

Nicaragua: Jumpoff For Cuba? Continued from Page 1 "All fights are suspended until further notice." Orlando Buitrago Mendez, press secretary for the Nicaraguan government, said Tuesday, "It is absolutely false that members of the Cuban invasion force left from Nicaragua." He added that "there is no military base in Nicaragua that has any other purpose than the defense and security of Nicaragua. He said his country would observe the principle of nonintervention although the people of Nicaragua sympathize with the anti-Castro forces. Although there has been no manifestation here, sources say this country's sympathy is divided with the lower classes. And there are a lot of them favoring Castro and the middle class divided even against Castro. Most newspapers in the country six in Managua and one in Leon are antiCastro.

Guatemalan Denies Embarkation Role Guatemalan Consul General Lionel Asensio of Miami denied Tuesday his country served as an embarkation point for a seaborne invasion against Cuba. "Rumors that any invaders took off from Guatemalan soil are untrue," he said. Asensio reiterated his government's disavowals of the last few months that antiCastro training bases had operated in that country. "I deny such the consul general said. "We have had nothing to do with it.

We are training, in our own bases, only those men necessary to defend ourselves against invasion." Asensio said the Guatemalan government "invites American correspondents to tour the 70 kilometers of our Caribbean beaches and see there are no bases there." Deaths Elsewhere COL. JOHN C.

Khrushchev accused the United States Tuesday of aiding the armed invasion of Cuba. He demanded that President Kennedy "end the aggression" and warned that Russia will give Cuba "all necessary aid." Khrushchev's urgent personal appeal to Kennedy came shortly after an official government statement warned that any U.S. aggression against Cuba could jeopardize the peaceful life of the population of the United States itself. Within hours after the statements a howling mob of 50,000 persons besieged the U.S. embassy in the worst outbreak of anti-American demonstrations ever seen here.

The mob hurled stones through the windows and doors and splashed the yellow stucco building with purple and red ink. Both the Khrushchev and the government statements promised all necessary aid to Premier Fidel Castro but did not specify whether arms, planes and 1 volunteers would be sent. Khrushchev said last year Russia would use rockets if necessary but did not repeat the threat Tuesday, A Soviet journalist said Russia would use rockets "only in a last desperate resort."

Rebel forces in Cuba appear to have dispersed into pockets from which they can fan out when reinforcements arrive. Unofficial reports from the anti-Castro underground claim that the milita and soldiers of the Cuban government are hard-pressed to flush out the invaders.

The number of rebel invaders, at first estimated at 5,000, is now believed to be closer to 1,000. Fresh troops, however, are said to be ready to enter Cuba as they are needed. Castro, nevertheless, is showing signs of skittishness.

Zorin put before the committee also an official Soviet government statement demanding that U.N. General Assembly "consider at once the question of aggressive actions of the United States which prepared and started the armed intervention against Cuba." The statement contained a threat of Soviet retaliation directly against the Unit ed States. U.S. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson replied that he hoped to give the committee sometime during the day Kennedy's answer to Khrushchev.

He said he agreed personally with Khrushchev's view that Cuba was no danger to the United States, but added that the Soviet leader disregarded the feeling of many Cubans who believe Castro's regime endangers Cuba's future. Stevenson also said he was glad to learn that the Soviet Union had no desire to impose its regime on other countries.

"It is an open secret that the armed bands which have invaded that country, have been prepared, equipped and armed in the United States," Khrushchev said. "The planes which bomb Cuban towns belong to United States of America, bombs which then they drop have been put at their disposal by the American government."

"It is not yet too late to avert what is happening.

The government of the U.S.A. still has the possibility of preventing flame of war started by interventionists in Cuba the from growing into a fire with which it will be impossible to cope. He said the Kennedy statement "created the impression that the leading authorities of the U.S.A. are aware of the consequences which aggression against Cuba could have for the whole world and the U.S.A. itself." "How then, can one understand what the U.S.A.

"As regards the U.S.S.R., there must be no mistake about our position. We will extend to the Cuban people and its government all the necessary aid to repel the armed attack on Cuba." Khrushchev told Kennedy that if other people aggravate world tension "then we shall reply in full measure." He said his statement was dictated only by concern "lest acts that might lead the world to the catastrophe of war should be permitted."

embassy windows Tuesday. Some of the crowd then battied Soviet troops and policemen guarding the building. The demonstration was similar to others at times of international crisis in the past, but this one got somewhat out of hand. All this coincided with a diplomatic offensive by Premier Khrushchev. He urged President Kennedy to act toward halting invasion of Cuba before the fighting becomes "a conflagration impossible to cope with." A Soviet statement also warned that "aggression against Cuba.

is capable of jeopardizing the peaceful life of the population of the U.S.A. itself." Embassy personnel estimated 10,000 demonstrators marched past the building in waves during the day. They shouted "Cuba da (yes), Yankees nyet (no)," and plastered "Viva Cuba" signs on the high iron fence in front of the building. The 1,500 troops and several hundred, had policemen orders on not hand to per- evimit serious damage to the building. Of hundreds of panes of glass on the street side of the 10- story embassy, about 25 were broken by flying rocks.

Perhaps, as the Revolutionary Council hopes, almost being lulled into a state of complacency over their country's safety. Still undetermined at the moment is the Soviet's possible role in the infiltration-invasion. Council leaders know what they might possibly face, but are holding to the theory that the Russians will use every possible means to threaten and scare rather than resort to active intervention.

I dictator. Among those seized was Maj. Humberto Sori Marin, once Castro's minister of agriculture and one of his most trusted lieutenants. Sori Marin was shot and wounded while trying to flee, according to the revolutionary government, and was taken to a hospital. He had fought by Castro's side during the rebellion against Batista.

A lawyer, he later helped draft many of Castro's proclamations. Early in 1960, Sori Marin became disenchanted with the Castro regime and after being demoted to a minor post in the agrarian reform movement, he defected. Castro increased the number of those executed by eight Tuesday. The victims were shot by firing squads for alleged terrorist activities at La CaI bana fortress. Beat That Sunrise WEDNESDAY 5:54 a.m.

The students attend Moscow's Friendship University for foreign youth. One policeman was knocked off his horse and cut on the head when a student struck him with heavy stick on which a "Hands off Cuba" banner was fastened.

With the demonstration out of control, troops and policemen got tough. One young African who attacked a policeman was jumped by five policemen and tossed into the back of a canvas-canopied army truck. Several other Africans met the same fate. Forecasts MIAMI AND VICINITY Fair. High, 82.
