Civil Rights Clash Over U S Housing Bill Faces Senate
Washington moves raise civil rights tensions as the Senate Banking Committee weighs a long range federal housing bill. A Bricker amendment would ban racial discrimination in public housing, a provision opposed as unworkable by Senator Murray and possibly fatal to the measure. The subcommittee backed a program to build 810,000 public housing units, a $1.5 billion slum clearance plan, research efforts, and a rural dwelling initiative with loans and grants. Bricker also seeks to bar government employees from public housing and caps on incomes for eligibility.
