Public housing fights split Congress on 1960 bill
In a tense House clash Republicans and Democrats offered rival housing plans with the White House goal in mind. Both sides blocked their own proposals as votes fell 180 to 64 and 164 to 72. A final Democratic bid to overturn the trend failed. The bill would let President Eisenhower ease FHA down payments and extend loan terms up to 30 years, with higher loan limits for home improvements.
