OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES new Wag-

WJASHINGTON-The new Wag-
w ner-Steagall housing bill, &C
,ording to experts who are sup
posed to know most about 1t,
should, in some instances, result
N adequate new housing for fam
lilies whose income. is no more
than $500 a year.
That would be a real approach
70 the ideal of low cost housing
Tor low income groups" II the
estimate isn't too optimistic, the
bill-if passed-would mean a
substantial amount of subsidized
housing for families whose in
come runs between SIS and S25 a
week.
In four years, it is contem-
plated, local public housing au-
thorities would be able to build
$4,000 houses and apartments
for families which cannot afford
dwellings now being produced by
private enterprise.
The bill, recognizing housing as
a government responsibility, is
similar in most respects to the
Observation-Disclosures bill passed by
the Senate last year. Early hear
ings and passage. by the Senate
again ere likely.
The measure outlines a federal
policy to employ funds and credit
to help alleviate unemployment,
and "to remedy the unsafe and
insanitary housing conditions and
the acute shortage Of decent, safe
and sanitary dwellings fot fam
lilies of low income that are in
furious to the health, safety and
morals Of the citizens of the
nation"
Big difference between this
draft and Senator Wagner's last
year bill is that the federal SUBJ
/ sidy will be put on rents instead
of into the initial construction cost.
! This new feature will enable the
government to retain some con-
eol over the housing projects
