Ike May Veto It Says GOP
Washington The House passed a housing bill and sent it to President Eisenhower amid hints of a possible veto. The roll call was 187 to 168 with 153 Democrats and 34 Republicans for the bill and 37 Democrats and 131 Republicans against. The measure would authorize 45 000 public housing units for one year and include broader housing programs, though the President urged 35 000 per year for two years and favored restricting units to those displaced by slum clearance. The conference report approved 45 000 units, 100 000 military housing, a 500 million slum clearance program, and a four billion dollar increase in mortgage insurance authority. The White House signaled it must be palatable to the administration, and House Republicans aimed to revise provisions to gain administration approval.
