Racial Issue May Wreck Housing Bill
Washington April 21 Senate Democratic Whip Francis J Myers warned that adding an anti segregation clause would kill the housing bill and wreck public housing. The proposal would outlaw racial discrimination in public housing projects and faces opposition from many supporters. The bill envisions 810,000 public housing units over six years, a 1.5 billion dollar slum clearance program, housing research, and rural housing improvements. Senator Sparkman proposed Washington as a pilot for slum clearance studies and revised building codes to support national housing efforts.
