Senate Urged 10 Approve
Additional Housinq Fund

Urgent recommendations for Sem
ate approval Of the pending Wag-
ner bill to provide an additional
$845, 100000 for slum clearance and
low rent housing were before a Sem
ate Labor Subcommittee today, 20
gether with an accusation that
land spectators and building ma
terial profiteers' were blocking such
efforts of the Government.
The complaint was made yester-
day by Benjamin c. Marsh. head
OF the Peoples Lobby. who told the
committee Mrs. Franklin D. Roose-
velt had planned an expose of the
efforts of profteering interests to
sabotage this program, but that she
was hushed up" by unnamed par
ties.
Administrator Nathan Straus of
the United States Housing Author
ity told the committee yesterday the
bill is imperative if the program is
to be pushed forward, as the U. S.
H. A. has earmarked and committed
all of Its available funds and has re-
ceived additional earmarking re-
quests from cities totaling in excess
of $500 900 900.
The Wagner bill would make it
possible for the U. S. H. A. to issue
an additional $500 100000 of its own
bonds to raise funds for loans and
to enter into contracts for annual
contributions or rent subsidies to
the amount of s45OO000 per year.
In terms of employment, Mr..
Straus said, the sum would provide
a full years work for $4,000 men on
the sites of housing projects and
would result in the employment of
about 100000 men in the fabrication
and production OF building mate
rials.

Chamberlain Cuts
Short Vacation in
Crisis Over Albania
Returns to London oniqhi
To Confer With Cabinets:
HoIifox Gives Report
Nv the Associated Presa.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 8.-Prime Min
lister Chamberlain will return to
London tonight from Castle Forbes,
Aberdeenshire, Scotland, to confer
with his ministers on the Albanian
situation, it was announced this aft
ernoon.
The Prime Minister left London
for Scotland Thursday for a fish,
ing Easter vacation.
Announcement of Mr.. Chamber
lain's return followed quickly an
emergency meeting of the cabinet in
London. After weighing the impli-
cations of Italy's invasion of AL
bania, the ministers issued formal
statement declaring that the AL
banian situation was still obscure
in regard to number of important
factors"
Parliament Recall Demanded.
In informed quarters this state
ment was interpreted as indicating
that the government had not de-
cided to recall Parliament immed-
lately, as had been demanded earlier
by leaders of the opposition.
Parliament began its Easter recess
Thursday to extend until April l8
Foreign Minister ViScount Halifax
gave detailed report on the Italian
invasion of Albania to the special
meeting of the cabinet.
Sir John Simon, chancellor of the
exchequer, presided in the absence
of Prime Minister Chamberlain.
10 Ministers Attend.
Ten cabinet members, nearly half
the entire cabinet and including five
defense ministers. attended the
meeting at No. 10 Downing Street,
Mr.. Chamberlain official residence.
| They were Sir John, Lord Halifax,
Lord Chatfield. minister for co-or-
dination of defense; Earl Stanhope,
first lord of the admiralty; Leslie
Hore- Belisha, secretary for war; Sir
Kingsley Wood. secretary for air;
Sir John Anderson, lord privy seal:
Home Secretary Sir Samuel Hoare;
Ernest Brown, minister for labor and
national service, and Earl de la
War;, president of the board of
education.
Mr.. Chamberlain sat in on the
meeting by telephone from Castle
Forbes in Aberdeenshire.
In view of the Prime Minister'S
statement in the House of Commons
last Thursday that Britain has no
direct interest in Albania, but has a
general interest in the peace of the
world informed quarters believed
Britain would keep hands of the
Adriatic war unless some neighbor-
ing country became endangered.
Protest May Be Sent.
Some quarters expressed the be-
lief Britain might send a strong
protest to Rome.
Government circles saw little pos-
sibility that the Italian action would
lead to general European war, how
ever, and as result no action more
drastic was anticipated even if Mus
solini eventually restored the Ro-
man rule of more than 1000 years
ago over the Albanian mountains.
Nevertheless, Lord Hslifax can
celed plans for holiday trip and
kept in constant touch with diplo-
matte representatives of Albania,
Rumania. Bulgaria, Greece. Turkey
and Yugoslavia-the countries most
vitally affected.
