Secret House vote blocks Taft Housing Bill
In a crucial late-session move six Republican members of the House Rules Committee voted against allowing the Taft Housing Bill to reach the floor. The bill, backed by pro slum clearance and low cost housing provisions, had passed the Senate and a House committee but was buried in secrecy. The article notes two Democrats also supported the bill, while a Georgia congressman walked out at the last moment, leaving the fate of housing for millions uncertain.

Butterflies Adapt Colors and Markings for Survival
Butterflies save themselves by avoiding enemies and camouflaging. Some rest late in autumn with brown and reddish hues matching fallen leaves. In southern Asia green butterflies resemble plant leaves, blending with stems to hide. One species bears owl eye markings, possibly to deter predators or as accidental camouflage. Tomorrow South America feature: Uncle Ray offers a free leaflet "Five South American Republics" with self-addressed stamped envelope.
