Middle income housing bill faces House opposition
A spot poll shows nearly half of President Truman's House supporters may vote against the 52 million to support middle income housing. Democrats are split and Republicans nearly all oppose. The Senate already struck the co op plan, and the administration hopes House approval might lead to a Senate reversal. The plan would create a 2 million government corporation borrowing from the public to fund co op loans at about three percent with up to 60 year mortgages for families earning 2400 to 4700 annually. Opponents call it discriminatory and socialist while noting veterans pay four percent on loans and FHA insures at four and a half percent.
