FDR Housing Bill Loses in House
Washington reports that a coalition of Republicans and Democrats in the House defeated President Roosevelt's $800 million housing bill, voting 190 to 170 and preventing consideration. The defeat followed earlier setbacks to the admin's lending program, with adjournment plans again in doubt as Senate debates the deficiency bill and farm funding. Secretary Wallace urged restoring $119 million for the Commodity Credit Corporation to support the farm program.
