Administration Forces
Rally for Showdown
On Housing Today
BY the Associated Press

Administration lieutenants raj

tough battle to save President
Truman's emergency housing
program in the House.

ton. House Republicans, reinforced
by contingent of Southern Demo.
Gratis, threatened to produce enough
votes to scrap the administration
measure and enable opponents tt
write their own ticket on what
should be done to provide more
homes.
Democratic leaders acknowledged
the tight spot they were in by
maneuvering an early adjournment
yesterday, thereby postponing tht
showdown on the legislation unit
today. The interval gave them 9
chance to line up votes for the fina
test, but opponents claimed the ad.
ministration camp was none toe
optimistic.
Called Sign of Weakness.
Opponents interpreted early ad.
1ournment as sign the programs
supporters feared they lacked suffi.
cient strength to put it over.
Representative Wolcott, Republi.
can, of Michigan, author of 6
Republican substitute for the ad.
ministration bill, noted the leader.
ship sought the early adjournment
for the announced reason that many
House members had accepted in
vitations to a late afternoon tea
at the White House.
But behind this" he said, "ther,
seemed to be a feeling that tn,
administration would be able to pull
Its forces together overnight"
Opposition to the administration
bill has pivoted on an argument
that it would hamstring the build.
ing industry and deter rather thar
encourage the building of houses.
Would Deny Ceiling Powers.
Mr.. Wolcott's substitute bill omit.
any reference to subsidies, anc
would deny the Government any
authority to put price ceilings or
homes. The Michigan member sale
such ceilings would do nothing tt
prevent imitation in the price oi
homes and might tend to discourage
new construction.
The administration is strongly
urging both provisions.
This Republican substitute would
give Housing Administrator Wilson
w. Wyatt broad powers over other
Government agencies, including
OPA, in housing matters; continue
Government powers to allocate and
grant priorities on scarce building
materials; increase by $1,000, 900, 600
the Government authority to insure
mortgages, and grant preference to
veterans in the purchase or rental
of homes.
In the first test on the administra-
ton bill yesterday, a coalition of
Republicans and Southern Demo-
Gratis won by 145-to-88 vote. This
was on an amendment to terminate
any extraordinary housing powers
on June 30, 1947, whereas the ad-
ministration wants the duration to
run to December 81, 1947.

ChOirsters Heard
In Great Music
of the Church
By Alice Eversmon

The New York Avenue Presby-
terian Church Choir gave its pro-
gram Of Great Music of the
Church" last night in Constitution
Hall for the benefit of Emergency
Overseas Relief Committee of the
Washington Federation of Churches
The concert was sponsored by the
st. Andrews (Scottish Society of
Washington and directed by Charles
Dana Beaschler, whose choice OF
numbers reflected the spirit of the
benefit.
The red-robed choristers, number
ing 160 members, formed a circle
of several tiers at the back of the
stage, with the fore part occupied
by the excellent ensemble drawn
from the National Symphony Or
chestra. The orchestral accompani-
ment was augmented by the organ
played by William Watkins, organist
Of the First Congregational Church
and by HARLAN Meyer, pianist, who
is also organist of the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church.
Geoffrey O'Hara's arrangement OF
THE Star Spangled Banner" opened
the program, the choral setting OF
the national anthem introducing
new harmonies into the melody that
carried it beyond even the familiar
uncomfortable range but which
showed of the voices to advantage.
So well balanced are the choral sec
ticns and of such uniformity in
quality that the singers produce an
orchestral volume and richness of
sound.
They are excellently trained in
effects and have wide range of
dynamics at command that reach
the final tonal mellowness, however,
in the pianissimo and mezzoforte
passages. The group of anthems:
Woods "Expectants, Expectavi,"
Jennings Springs in the Desert"
Bakers 20 Lord God, Unto Whom
Vengeance Belongeth," were numbers
expert. vocal tinting and
in these the skill Of the group was
fully apparent. eye Nations, Offer to
the Lord" from Mendelssohn's
Hymn of Praise" and the Sane
tus," from Verdi's Requiem" drew
forth the splendid power OF the en-
semble with the sopranos carrying
the high register with surety and
purity Of tone.
The soloist of the program was
the Australian baritone, Robert C.
whose superb voice and
disclosed the full
beauty of the "Offertorio" and the
'Motetto" from Sgambati's Mesa
da Requiem" He was also heard in
solo portions in the anthems.
The "Adagio" and Allegro" from
Handels organ Concerto No. 10"
was played by Mr.. Watkins with
accompaniments and he
was heard later in Simmonds' do
rian Prelude" and Dupre's prelude
and Fugue in G minor" His per-
formance was admirable for its
clarity in phrasing and for tech
nical smoothness, his registration in
the concerto in particular being
varied and colorful.

It was learned in the financial dis
trict that a good sized delegation Of
Washington members will attend the
conclave, first unhampered by trans
portation limitations since 1941. The
Capital delegates will board special
train from New York.
Foreign financing, management OF
the national debt, securities regula-
ton, and the outlook for new cap
ital markets will high light the pro-
gram, Mr.. Garland announced. High
Government officials and financial
leaders will be among the speakers.
Mr.. Garland, who followed j. Cliff

Reserve Board Scored.
'The action of the Federal Reserve
Board in putting the stock market
on a cash basis has been a disastrous
failure" Wymond Cabell, president
of the Association of Stock Exchange
Firms, told members of the San
Francisco Stock Exchange. Losses
to millions of stockholders have al
ready been huge. A poor market ex-
lists whether one wishes to buy or
sell"
"It is time to re-examine the
credit regulations and restrictions
which have contributed so directly
to the recent collapse of the market" !"
he asserted. Congestion in the mar
ket for new security issues stemmed
largely from the veto by the Fed
eraI Reserve Board of the use Of
existing listed stocks as collateral
for obtaining funds to absorb new
securities" .-
Mr.. Caben condemned the 100 per
cent margin rule as most unfair to
all security holders.
