Housing Program Pure Socialism Denounced in Senate Hearing
Senate witness Horace Russell, general counsel for the United States Savings and Loan league, denounces President Truman’s proposed 2.0 billion middle income housing plan as pure socialism. He scolds Senator Sparkman for calling him a liar and argues the bill would create Treasury backed loans of 50 to 60 years at 2 to 3 percent, driving taxpayers to cover costs and outcompeting private lenders. Sparkman defends the measure as fair and not intended to mislead the public.

Anticipates Rigid Controls on Crops in 1951
The Agriculture Department foresees possible strict production controls in 1951 for crops including cotton, wheat, tobacco, sugar, peanuts, corn, and rice. Budget plans request funds to operate control programs if needed, but officials stress that setting aside a budget does not guarantee imposition of controls. Rigid controls would mainly involve marketing quotas with penalties for exceeding them, currently in effect for cotton, tobacco, and peanuts.

License Plate Delays Leave Montana Motorists Frustrated
Friction at the Silver Bow county courthouse over license plates and driving permits keeps motorists waiting as issuance proceeds slowly. Complaints come from owners planning trips out of state who fear penalties for lacking 1950 plates. Plates are available in county, but permits may be bought in other counties. A surge of permits to Butte residents has been recorded in Anaconda, Deer Lodge, and Boulder. The closed permit window is being studied by Attorney General Arnold Olsen, with no decision yet. Treasury officials report no rush and insufficient staff to process records, blaming the lack of extra deputies and a rejected offer to add more staffing.
