House Refuses to Suspend Rules
For Vote on Defense Housing

The House this afternoon refused
to suspend its rules to act on bill
authorizing an increase from $780,
600 900 to $500, 900 900 in the appro-
priation under the Lanham Act for
defense housing.
Chairman Lanham of the Public
Buildings and Grounds Committee,
which reported the measure favor
ably last week, is now planning to
seek special rule to give the legis-
lation preferential status on the
calendar
House refusal to act on the meas
ure came after a Commute debate
during which Mr.. Lanham called
attention to the urgent need for
additional funds to finance housing
facilities in defense areas and de-
clared speedy action is necessary.
A two-third vote is required to
suspend House rules for action on a
bill. On a standing vote, 81 men,

and 70 objected
Representative McGregor Repub-
lican. of Ohio, said defense housing
is vitality needed in the District but
pointed out that the bill in its pres
ent form would not allow any Of the
additional $3OO,OOO,O00 to be used
for construction of homes for the
Governments civilian employees here
He indicated he may offer an
amendment to provide housing IA
cilities for these workers.
The additional $500, 900, 900 was
sought by President Roosevelt in a
message to Congress June 26. At
that time he explained the original
$500, 10000 appropriation had been
allocated to projects. and that data
in his possession indicated the posi-
bility that the Government should
be prepared to undertake the con-
struction of at least 5000 addi-
