Housing Bill Passes Senate Aids Public Housing
The Senate approved President Eisenhower's housing package by voice vote, backing liberalized aid for homeowners and about 35,000 public housing units annually for four years. The measure broadens federal mortgage programs, tightens repair loans, and outfits a windfall profit safeguard amid ongoing House-Senate talks. The bill allows roughly 600,000 units over time and shifts some administration programs toward private operation.

Chou En-Lai Relaxes Stance on Indochina Armistice Policing
Geneva June 3 Chou En-Lai eased pressure on the scope of policing the Indochina armistice by allowing a neutral nations supervisory commission to address certain tasks while maintaining opposition to UN oversight. He kept Viet Nam as the reference point and rejected special status for Laos and Cambodia. Western allies pressed for neutrality and opposed Communist members on the supervisory body. The military talks on troop boundaries met with little progress and will reconvene tomorrow. U S Undersecretary Walter Bedell Smith backed international control under United Nations auspices for the Vietnamese side.
