HOUSING PROGRAM
WOULD Be PUSHED
Less Heard About Central
ixation When 1t Comes
to Relief Money
. BY LESLIE EICTIEL
Central Press Staff Writer

Not much publicity has been given
to a recent proposal Of the American
Federation Of Labor. It urges per-
manent federal housing authority. OF
nen-partisan makeup. Appropriations
then would be asked for housing for
persons in lower brackets. The houses
would be built by workers in the build
ing trades at prevailing wages.
Representative Henry Elenbogen OF
Pittsburgh, Pa, has such housing
bill in the house. It probably will be
smoothered. Senator Robert F. Wag-
ner Of New York, with bill less COM
prehensive, cannot get it through the
senate.
The lobby against federal housing
is one of the most powerful in Wash
ington.
OF the millions spent by the Roose-
Welt administration. less than per
cent has gone toward housing for per-
sons of the lowest brackets.
