Showdown Nears For Housing Bill
Washington says 11 Democratic members of the house banking committee will vote as a bloc to oppose the Walcott housing measure. The Walcott plan seeks to wipe out public housing and slum clearance from the Taft-Ellender-Wagner program. A committee showdown is expected soon to decide whether to send the T E W bill to the house. The T E W bill envisions 15 million homes by private enterprise in 15 years with government aid and financing for 500000 low cost units owned by public agencies plus slum clearance subsidies.
