Cancellation Of the balance OF

Supervisors may determine was re-
quested by a five-man COMMITTEES

question of Wayne County Drain
No. S by committee composed
Of Councillors Harry Rouse, Cliff

City Attorney Herbert p. Schen-

The problem dates back to 1929

" the district was utilized TO serve
Lincoln Park, Ecorse. Allen Park.

and Ecorse townships.

Crux of the dispute lies in the

pay the entire cost and the other

the facilities of District No. 5 with
out contributing anything toward
the drains initial cost.

A. S. Mike Monroney. D., Okla,
charged today that the Patman
Housing bill was being showed aside
deliberately "for political purposes. /"
He said the measure was being
deliberately sabetaged" to make
way for a substitute introduced
by Rep. Jesse p. Wolcott, R.,
Mich. Moroney said the substi-
tute will not get the veterans
housing"
Opponents of the Patman bill
Immediately courtered that Moro
ney's charges were plain nom
sense" Wolcott pointed out that
opposition included some Of Moro
ney's fellow Democrats.
Wolcott's substitute does not pro-
vide for price ceilings on new
homes. But 1t does include a pro-
vision which would limit the size
of a mortgage which the Federal
Housing Administration could ap-
prove.
His measure also would author
lie the Housing Administrator to
issue any orders to government
agencies necessary to obtain crit
ical building materials. This
would include the power to order
OPA to raise its price ceilings.
Despite heavy opposition. Rep
Wright D. Patman, D., Tex. said
he would renew his efforts to have
q provision written back into his
bill putting price ceilings on used
homes. The section was taken out
by the House Banking Committee.
