Housing Faces Other Fights
Washington March 28 The housing and tax programs of President Eisenhower face new tests in Congress this week with major floor fights anticipated over public housing cuts and slum clearance plus a liberalized home loan program. House actions already trim a four-year 140,000-unit plan to a two-year 35,000-unit cleanup and threaten federal housing ventures. Senate-House conferees also tackle excise tax cuts aimed to meet an April 1 deadline, with a bill containing 1.034 billion in reductions and extending post-Korea taxes to liquor, tobacco, autos, trucks and gasoline. Additional measures seek to authorize use of the attorney general in kidnaping and national security cases, expanding wiretapped evidence in espionage prosecutions. GOP leadership seeks speedier passage to back administration programs while finalizing farm price supports and Taft-Hartley revisions.
