Minimum Wage Increase
Will Cost Employers
365 Million Annually
Pay raises for an estimated 2.6
million workers to bring them up
to the new federal minimum wage
of $1.25 per hour will cost their
employers about $365 million a
year, says Commerce Clearing
House.
Effective Sept. 3, the increased
cost will be added on to the pres
ent $110 billion wage bill for the
24 million workers covered by
federal wage-hour requirements
before the 1961 amendments. Their
basic minimum rate is rising to
the $1.25 figure from the $1.15 rate
first effective in 1961.
Reviewing US Labor Dept, fig
ures, CCH said that of the na
tion’s total 44 million-plus non
supervisory employes, 27.5 million
are now covered by the minimum
pay rules, 3.6 million of them for
the first time in 1961.
The minimum wage for the
workers in certain specified en
terprises, first brought under the
law in 1961, remains at $1 until
next year when it is scheduled to
rise to $1.15 and then to $1.25 in
1965. Thus, employers can expect
even higher wage costs during
the coming year, CCH noted.
The minimum wage in Alaska
now becomes $1.75, following a
practice of adding 50 cents hourly
to the national minimum.

NEWS
FROM BARROW
BARROW’ </P — Despite a sum
mer of bad weather and the im
pending winter, the city of Bar
row is today a city of many ac
tivities and projects.
The Bureau of Land Manage
ment townsite survey is on the
verge of completion and soon Bar
row will begin to take shape in
an orderly fashion along wide and
straight streets as homes are
moved and new homes built on
the new pattern layed out by the
survey.
Approximately mi per cent ot
the homes in the village will be
moved.
The moving crews are waiting
presently for materials aboard the
Bureau of Indian Affairs freighter
North Star laying a mile off shore
in heavy seas.
About $400,000 in road improve
ments has been promised by the
BIA for Barrow.
In addition aboard the North
Star are the first materials for the
Barrow high school. Many new
homes are also aboard the freight
er.
Commissioner Phileo Nash of
the BIA had a good look at one
of the chief problems of Arctic
Alaska this past week — weather.
After weathering four stormy
days aboard the North Star off
Pt. Barrow, Nash and BIA Direc
tor Robert Bennett were finally
able to come ashore.
Nash and Bennett boarded the
Arctic supply ship North Star in
Kotzebue and after a two-day voy
age to Barrow the government of
ficials were forced to wait out four
days only a mile off Barrow due
to heavy seas.
Winds averaging between 35 to
40 miles per hour have prevented
any attempt at unloading the
more than 5,000 tons of cargo des
tined for Barrow.
The weather forecast calls for
more severe winds in the next few
days and as the season growls late,
danger of the ice pack moving
southward with a shift in the
wind also is increased.
In 1955 villagers had to blast a
1,200-yard channel through the
pack ice out to the North Star in
order to unload and bring in the
year’s food and supplies.
Also now standing offshore is
the tug Winquat, with the largest
sea-going barge in the world in
tow. The Winquat is part of the
Distant Early Warning line re
supply operation and is waiting to
unload after completing a trip east
ward along the coast to Barter
Island.

! White Lad Plagued by Neighbors
For Attendance at Ark. Negro School
r
NORTH LITTLE ROCK. Ark. i
OP — When classes ended at Mc
Calmont Elementary Schol just
northeast of here yesterday, Ste
ven Fitts, 6, and Edward Jerni
gan, 7, came out with their arms
around each other.
Steven, a white youngster, had
just completed his first day in the
all-Negro school.
Mrs. Yvonne Anita Fitts, 26,
his mother, told a reporter, “He’ll
learn something by all of this.
At his age, he has no prejudice.”
Steven said excitedly, “I want
to come back to this school tomor
row.”
“Why of course you will, honey,”
his mother said.
Steven returned to the Negro
school today. Last night, Deputy
Sheriffs took A2C Leonard Syden,
21, of Long Island, N. Y.. into cus
tody for questioning after neigh
bors reported a disturbance at tne
Fitts home.
Mrs. Fitts said she had asked
Syden to spend the night in case
of trouble and that he was asleep
in her bed and she was sleeping
on a couch when the officers came
Syden, stationed at Little Rock
Air Force Base, was released later.
Sheriff Frank Mackey said he
would confer with Mrs. Fitts to
day about providing protection
for her.
Mrs Fitts’ husband, AIC Ken
neth Jay Fitts, a native of Syra
cuse, N.Y., is stationed with the
Air Force at Anchorage, Alaska.
They have five children. The three
eldest are adopted. Besides Steven,
the children are Virginia Carole,
5, Adolpho Fidel, 4, and twins
Kenneth Jay and Keith Jon, 2.
Mrs. Fitts said her husband ap
proved her decision to send Ste
ven to a Negro school, but cau
tioned her not to “let our boy
get hurt.”
Until three months ago she said,
she had thought very little about
desegregation.
She joined the National Asso
ciation for the Advancement of
Colored People two months ago
and pawned her movie camera last
month to raise money for a trip
to Washington and the civil rights
march.
Mrs. Fitts said a Negro friend
of her husband was being sent to
Keesler Air Force Base. Miss., and 1
she was telling him all the places
he should visit.
“But he stopped me,” she re
called, “and said, ‘I can’t go to
any of those places They don't
allow Negroes.’ ”
That’s when the idea of send
ing Steven to McCalmont took
root in her mind, she said. Steven
normally would have attended all
white Sherwood Elementary
School, three miles from his home.
McCalmont is only a mile and a
half away.
“This is the main thing we’re
fighting for,’’ she said, “To have
the child go to the school nearest
his home.”
Mrs. Fitts says she has received
a steady stream of obscene and
threatening telephone calls A rock
was thrown through Steven’s bed
room window, showering him with
glass as he slept, but he was not
cut, she said. Someone pelted Mrs.
Fitts’ small, white frame house
with eggs
Mrs Fitts, 5-foot-5 and 117
pounds, said she would not move
or change her telephone number
because this would be a form of
running, “And I’m not that scared
—yet.”
