Ballot Expected To Be Close On Truman Proposal
The Senate prepared for a pivotal vote on President Truman's plan to fund government housing aid for middle income families. The $1 billion in long term low interest loans would assist cooperatives and non profit groups to help families earning $2,400 to $4,700 annually rent or own better housing. Supporters argue it is less inflationary than larger sums pledged for rental projects and the measure is part of a broader housing bill with additional programs. Senators Sparkman Long Russell Lehman backed the plan in debate.
