Housing Bill
WASHINGTON, 'The Sen
ate banking committee approved
7 to 6 today a long-range housing
bill designed to encourage con
st: notion of 15,000,000 homes by
1958.
Senator Buck <R.-Del.) told re
porters the committee deadlocked,
6 to 6 on the first vote and had to
telephone Senator Maybank <D.
S. C.>, who was on an official visit
to the U. S. Naval academy at An
napolis, Md., to break the tie.
The Senate passed a similar bill
during the last session of Congress,
but the measure was shelved in
the House. Senators Wagner( D.-N.

Ohio) sponsored both bills. Buck
estimates the cost of the program
to the federal government at about
7,500,000,000 over a 45-year period
The bill provides for aiding pri
vate housing industry “to make its
full contribution toward an ecqn
omy of maximum employment,
production and purchasing power.”
