Lawmen Reject Personal Plea From President
The House rejected the $2,000,000,000 cooperative housing plan for middle income families 218 to 155, while approving a $4,000,000,000 expansion of the existing program. The Senate had turned it down 43 to 38 last week. A conference committee will craft a compromise housing bill without the co op. This becomes a political issue for November elections and may figure in President Truman's west coast tour.
