By Treasury.

A bill abolishing the United States
Housing Corporation and authoriz-
ing the Secretary Of the Treasury
to sell or transfer the property was
passed by the Senate late yester-
day. Passage of the measure fol-
lowed a long debate between its
author, Senator Fernald and Sena-
tors King and Smoot. The bill now

Under the terms OF the. measure.
as amended before its passage yes
terday. the Treasury Department
will, after June 80, when the meas
ure becomes effective, operate the
group of hotels near the Capitol.
The arrangements under which this
plan will be carried out have not
yet been announced.
The debate hinged upon the man.
ner in which the property of the
Housing Corporation. which Sena-
tor King estimated cost 500, 600. 600,
would be disposed OF. There are at
least 1900 auto trucks. and a great
amount of medical supplies and
which were asked for
by the Public Health Service. This
was opposed by Senator king. and
the bill as finally passed provides
that all such supplies shall be sold
or disposed of as the Secretary of
the Treasury directs.
Senator. King estimated that the
property Of the Housing Corporation
in Washington cost s2,5ooOOo. Govern
ment appraisers hope that the sale
of all the properties win net at least
