House votes to halt 140000 new public housing units

By a 211 to 176 vote the House blocked authorization for 140,000 additional public housing units.

Soil Conservation Progress Shown in Gillespie County

Technicians from the Soil Conservation Service aided landowners including Walter Schlaudt Adolph Bauer Evan Striegler Marvin Wilke David Kneese and Jack Evers. By 1954 about a quarter of US farmers cooperated with conservation districts and over a quarter of farm land was under plans. Farmers with and without districts used conservation measures as terraces waterways and dams were checked and seedings urged for permanent grasses. Walter Schlaudt cites deferral grazing and proper stocking as keys to higher profitability with less feed, and plans to add cross fences to extend deferment across rangeland. Waterways should be seeded now for lasting protection.
