The Senate Banking Committee approved an emergency housing program aimed at spurring home building and reducing unemployment. The plan would extend veteran loan programs and raise interest rates to entice more mortgage money, potentially supporting 200,000 to 400,000 new homes next year. Senator Knowland suggested a larger public works push is under consideration, while opposing a new agency. The disability issue is also a priority as the House Judiciary Committee meets behind closed doors to discuss it.
