Housing Shortage
Measures Will Go
Before House

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is WD-
The House begins debate tomorrow
on legislation designed to relieve
the nations acute housing short
age.
Sharpest controversy was ex-
pected on whether there should
be price ceilings on existing
homes. That is not provided for
in the pending housing bill by
Rep. Wright Patman, D., Tex.
The measure would create an
office Of Housing Stati' - on
headed by q Housing Administrs-
tor. He would be empowered to:
l. Place price ceilings on new
homes.
2. Channel scarce materials into
areas where the need is greatest.
3. Give preference to veterans for
available housing units.
Patman's bill originally included
a provision for ceilings on used
homes but 1t was turned down by
the banking committee. He said he
would offer q floor amendment to
reinState 1t.
III that fails, Rep. A. 8. Mike
Moroney, d., Okla. said he would
offer another amendment to dis
courage speculation In sales of
used homes.
II believe Mr.. Patman's amend
ment is the best solution" Moroney
said. "but if his fails 1 will try to
get one through which will place
ceilings On old homes for a limited
period. They would be lifted after
the owner lives there for SIX
months. This would reduce specu-
lation TO some extent"
