Bailey Joins Opposition;
Wagner Says Changes
xiii" Program

WASHINGTON, Aug. Z. (UP)
Administration leaders today
turned to the house in their fight
to eliminate from the Wagner
Steagall slum clearance low cost
bill a series Of restricting amend
ments adopted by the senate.
House leaders said they would
call up the bill by the middle Of
next week.
The senate yesterday took the
first step in launching a perman-
nent drive to aid the poorest third
of the nation when it passed and
sent to the house the $700,000,-
600 Wagner housing bill designed
to clear slum areas now breeding
disease and crime and to cause
erection Of low-cost dwellings in
their place.
The vote was Ga to 16. One Of
the major items on the presidents
revised list Of desired legislation
for this session, it is expected to
get early consideration in the
house, where the house banking
and currency committee is pre-
pairing the measure for floor ac-
ton.
As approved by the senate the
bill contains an amendment by
Senator Harry F. Byrd, D., Va,
AGAINST which the author Of the
measure, Senator Robert F. Wag-
ner, D., N. Y, fought vigorously
on the ground that it amounted
to "killing" his program. That
amendment puts a maximum Of

be spent on living quarters for
one family-S1,000 a room---in
any project built with funds pro-
vided under the housing program.
The senate adopted that amend.
