Kennedy Plan to create urban department faces near certain defeat
President Kennedy's proposal to form a new Department of Urban Affairs and Housing appears set for rapid defeat in the House. Speaker McCormack and Republican leader Halleck say votes against it will prevail, with opposition from Southern Democrats and concerns over a Black cabinet head, Robert Weaver. The Senate also seems unlikely to approve the measure.
