President Signs Law Overhauling Housing Program
President Eisenhower signed a sweeping housing reform bill to expand home ownership and curb builder profiteering. The act tightens FHA financing, loosens down payments, revamps slum clearance, and redefines secondary mortgage markets while omitting a target for 140,000 public units. Norman Mason will assume FHA post as reforms begin.

Senate Republican leader Knowland urged creation of a three Republican and three Democratic select committee to study the McCarthy censure issue.
