Sparkman Backs Housing Bill Amid Senate Cutbacks
Senator Sparkman described the 1957 omnibus housing bill as a good measure given the climate, after the Senate approved a 1.6 billion dollar package 69 to 1 and sent it to conference with the House. The two chambers differ on funds for the secondary mortgage market, with the House proposing 1.625 billion and the Senate 400 million.

Drone Plane Down After Erratic Four State Flight
A Navy unmanned F6F Hellcat drone ran out of fuel and crashed in a Colfax wheat field after an erratic, pilotless flight across four states. Two Idaho Air Guard jets attempted to intercept as it headed toward Spokane, then crashed three hours after losing contact with its mother ship. Authorities noted the craft’s final dive near a hill while witnesses described its acrobatics before impact. Additionally, New York City installed its first traffic light in 1920 at 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue.
