Segregation Ruling Turns Maybank Against Housing
The Supreme Court rejection of the San Francisco Housing Authority appeal upholds a ruling that segregation in public low rent housing violates equal protection. Sen. Maybank of South Carolina says the action ends his support for public housing and risks Eisenhower's housing program. Maybank led Banking Committee moves to authorize up to 810,000 units, potentially shaping the administration plan for 140,000 net units. Republican colleagues caution Maybank's stance could derail congressional approval.
