Other attempts to change the measure lay ahead. Senator La Follette (Prog-Wis), who would like to see the total boosted to $10,000,000,000, plans to propose an increase. Bonus and inflation riders are in the offing, also, though the administration leaders express no worry about them. Labor Deplores Defeat The American Federation of Labor deplored today the defeat of the McCarran amendment, which would have required President Roosevelt to pay wage rates prevailing in private industry to all the 3,500,000 "employables" to whom the administration says it will give work. "The working people of the nation," President William Green said, "will feel that congress failed them in this crucial test." The successful compromise leaves the president free to pay "security wages," estimated by officials at $50 a month, provided they do not "affect adversely" the wage scale in private industry. On all permanent federal building projects, however, he must pay the prevailing rate. White Authorizes New Buffalo Bank Receiver to Sell $9,000 Bonds Circuit Judge Charles E.
