The House faces a high stakes vote as the Rules Committee under Republican and Southern Democratic control delays action on President Truman's housing bill. Speaker Rayburn says passage is possible when timing allows, with a June 27 vote targeted unless the committee clears the measure sooner. The bill envisions extensive slum clearance rental and farm housing programs tied to a $16 billion authorization over 40 years, though Budget Bureau figures cap federal subsidies at about $9 to $10 billion.
