Walcott clash over veterans housing and displaced person clause
Drew Pearson reports Michigan Rep Jesse Walcott invoked two VFW witnesses while a telegram repudiating them stood in his pocket. Hale Boggs pressed for a direct VFW stance on public housing. The piece also critiques Senate Hitler style amendments to a displaced persons bill and notes party-line divides on federal aid to education. It cites Revercomb blocking Acheson post and highlights regional funding concerns and religious objections.
