Senate approves large housing bill amid dispute over timing
The Senate passed a $1.030 billion housing measure 71 to 24 with a 60 to 27 margin to keep the bill from returning to committee. Action now moves to the House where leaders plan to route it through usual committees. Some expect a possible late take it or leave it approach to Eisenhower. The bill funds new government housing programs and liberalizes FHA mortgage insurance to aid private industry. Senators Wiley and Proxmire supported the majority.
