er concession to the industry In
the form of a new deadline. It
moved back the effective date
for the standards by four
months, from Sept. 1 to next
Jan. 1. The only exception was
the March 1 effective date for
mandatory seat belts,
Dr. William Haddon Jr., head
of the National Traffic Safety
Agency and the man who put
the standards together, said
they “do not go as tar as
standards in future years will
go.” But, he said, they
represent the best the govern
ment could do under the law.
The automakers now have 30
days to comment on the final
standards. After that they could
appeal to the courts. Failure to
comply with the standards,
however, could bring fines of up
to $400,000.
Unchanged were 14 require
ments ranging from rear view
mirrors to laminated wind-
shields.
The six modified standards
were in the area of occupant
protection on impact; emergen
cy brake and parking systems;
windshield wiping and washing
systems; defrosting and defog
ging; door latches; and lamps
and reflecting devices.

New Wage Floor
Put Into Effect
WASHINGTON
ly five million workers,
retil clerks to farm
begin receiving bigger
ecks today under newly
tive federal wage minimums.
Some 3.7 million go from
old minium of $1.25 an hour
the new $1.40 rate.
These mainly are workers In
hospitals, nursing homes,
tional institutions, construction,
and industries and retail
establishments grossing more
than $500,000 a year.
Another 953,000 persons cov
ered by wage minimums for the
first time will rise from their
present hourly rate of $1 an
hour.
This group is made up largely
of certain farm, restaurant and
hotel workers.
Congress passed the new
wage minimums last year, to
become effective in stages. In
1968, for example, the $1.40
hourly minimum Jumps to $1.60.
The expanded program was
labor’s big victory in the 89th
Congress, but it is already being
contested in the courts. At least
two states—Iowa and Texas—
are seeking federal court
rulings voiding the section of
the new law that sets mini
mums for public employes of
the state.
The Iowa suit, filed Tuesday,
charged that this “very definite
ly is an encroachment on state
rights.”
Actually, 9.1 million persons
became covered by federal
minimums today for the first
time. But many were already
getting rates above the applica
ble minimums, so only about 4.7
million will actually get raises.
The 9.1 million newly covered
employes breaks down to:
Hospitals and nursing homes,
2 million; public and private
educational Institutes, 1.3 mil
lion; retail trade, 1.7 million;
construction, 600,000; laundries,
500,000; restaurants, 500,000;
employes and those paid from
nonappropriated funds, 700,000;
and 1.1 million employes In
various fields.
