The results of this survey relate to June of 1961 and 1962 which permit an examination of wage changes occurring during a period when the Federal minimum wage was increased from $1 to $1.15, and a $ 1 minimum wage was extended to workers brought under the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act for the first time on September 3, 1961. The survey, made by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, was part of a broad pro­ gram of studies initiated by the Department of Labor for continuing appraisal of Federal minimum wage legislation. The Wage and Hour and Public Contracts Divisions participated in the planning of the survey and provided the necessary funds. This study was conducted in the Bureau's Division of National Wage and Salary Income by Norman J. Samuels, Chief of the Division, under the general direction of L. R. Linsenmayer, Assistant Commissioner for Wages and Industrial Relations. The analysis was prepared by Joseph K. Cocco, under the immediate supervision of Herbert Schaffer. m Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Contents P age S u m m a ry ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 C h a r a c te r istic s------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 Selected metropolitan areas of the South: A m a rillo , T e x --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 A sh e v ille , N.

C. , to $2.18 in Lake Charles, La., in June 1962. Among the remaining areas, however, average earnings differed by no more than 10 percent, from $1.70 to $1.87 an hour, as shown on chart 1. The proportions of workers earning less than $1 an hour varied from 6 to 13 percent, while from 21 to 34 percent averaged less than $1.25 an hour among the nine areas. Comparatively greater differences were found in the proportion of workers earning $ 2 or more an hour, which ranged from 16 to 55 percent. The dispersion of individual earnings for the middle half of the area workers varied widely as shown in the following tabulation. Earnings were com­ pressed over a 57-cent range in Asheville, compared with a spread of $1.69 in Lake Charles. The range of such earnings was less than $ 1 in four other areas and more than $ 1 in the remaining three areas. The extent to which the wage distribution departed from symmetry in each of the areas is reflected in the difference between the mean (the arithmetic average of all the individual hourly earnings) and the median (the amount below and above which earnings for 50 percent of the workers are found). Such differences varied from 4 cents an hour in Lake Charles, to 27 cents an hour in Huntsville, Ala. , and were at least 14 cents in five other areas. Average (mean) earnings exceeded median earnings in each of the nine areas.

In manufacturing industries, the level of straight-time earnings for nonsupervisory employees ranked lowest in Asheville at $ 1. 58 an hour and highest in Lake Charles at $2. 69. Manufacturing averages were between $ 1. 7 5 and $ 2 an hour in four other areas and above $2 in two others.1 2 Relatively few factory 1 The survey covered most major industry divisions except agriculture and government in 9 Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the South which had populations of 100,000 to 150,000 (according to the 1960 census).

See appendix A for a more detailed description of the scope and method of survey and definitions of terms. 2 Insufficient data were obtained for manufacturing in Huntsville, Ala. , to warrant separate presentation. 1 Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Chart 1.

  • Commandant's Annual Report, 1961-1962
    COMMANDANT'S ANNUAL REPORT 1961 ... 1962 The Judge Advocate General's School United States Army Charlottesville, Virginia FOREWORD It is with great pleasure and much satisfaction that I present the Commandant's Annual Report for Fiscal Year 1962. Al­ though this represents the first report of this type published by The Judge Advocate General's School, it is intended that it become an integral feature in chronicling the continuing development of the Army's military law center. The report has a three-fold purpose: --- 1. To summarize the operations of the School during the past fiscal year. ---------2. To preserve in printed form a record of the School, its staff and faculty, students, and enlisted personnel. ~ To describe the various courses of instruction offered at - The Judge Advocate General's School. ThiE report reflects continued progress on the part of The Judge Advocate General's School. The value of any educational institution, however, is measured by how well it prepares its student body for the roles which await them upon graduation. Accordingly, our goal, as in the past, is to increase and make more effective our services to the Army by thorough preparation of officers for service in the Judge Advocate General's Corps. JOHN F.

In 1886, its name was changed to the "Bulletin international des Societes de la Croix-Rouge" and in 1919 it became a monthly journal under the title "Revue inter­ nationale de la Croix-Rouge". Altogether, six sets of indexes to tfle "Revue" were printed: in 1900, 1910, 191-9, 1939, 1962 and J(}75. Soon after the Second World War, it was considered desirable to inform also the English-speaking world of the tasks which the ICRe is called upon to discharge, and of the legal and ethical problems which have to be dealt with by the Red Cross movement. It was decided to begin on a small scale by issuing a sixteen to twenty page monthly supplement in English, the first of which appeared in January 1948. It was only in /961 that the ICRC published a complete English version of its periodical and the first issue came out in April of that year under the name "International Review of the Red Cross".

    working 11 08 paper U.S. Intervention during the Bretton Wood Era: 1962–1973 Michael D. Bordo, Owen F. Humpage, and Anna J. Schwartz FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF CLEVELAND Working papers of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland are preliminary materials circulated to stimulate discussion and critical comment on research in progress. They may not have been subject to the formal editorial review accorded offi cial Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland publications. The views stated herein are those of the authors and are not necessarily those of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland or of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Working papers are available at: www.clevelandfed.org/research. Working Paper 11-08 April 2011 U.S. Intervention during the Bretton Wood Era: 1962–1973 by Michael D. Bordo, Owen F. Humpage, and Anna J. Schwartz By the early 1960s, outstanding U.S. dollar liabilities began to exceed the U.S. gold stock, suggesting that the United States could not completely maintain its pledge to convert dollars into gold at the offi cial price. This raised uncertainty about the Bretton Woods parity grid, and speculation seemed to grow. In re- sponse, the Federal Reserve instituted a series of swap lines to provide central banks with cover for unwanted, but temporary accumulations of dollars and to provide foreign central banks with dollar funds to fi nance their own interven- tions. The Treasury also began intervening in the market. The operations often forestalled gold losses, but in so doing, delayed the need to solve Bretton Woods’ fundamental underlying problems.
