Chairman Rules
Two Proposals
Out Of Order
Bill Passes House
357 To "a After
Revise Rejection

WASHINGTON, d. c. = On N
P A)-Efforts to write INTO the
Administrations emergency nous
mo bill an anti-discrimlnation
clause failed last week.
Representative Everett M. DIRK
sen. Republican, of Illinois, offered
two amendments. The first would
have prohibited discrimination IN
the administration of both the Ma
tjonal Housing Act, which the
emergency housing bill would
amend. and the United States
Housing Act of 1887, and WOULD
secure maximum preferences ana
priorities to veterans OF Wofio
War III.
After the chairman, Representa-.
five Jere Cooper, Democrat, OF
Tennessee, ruled the first amend
ment out of order, Mr.. Dlrksen
proposed the same amendment put
related to the National Housing
Act only.
TOO BROAD"
In sustaining the point of order
made against Mr. Dirksen's sec
ond amendment, Mr.. Cooper ruled
that it would take in entirely dit
ferent provisions of the Housing
Act than those contained IN the
Patnan. bill. He ruled that the
first amendment was entirely too
broad.
The points of order against both
amendments were made by Repre-
sentative Brent Spence, Democrat,
Of Kentucky.
1--WE want no discrimination in
the administrator of this bill, Mr..
Spence said, ''but it is entirely un-
essential to put in such reserva-
lions as the gentleman proposes IN
his amendment"
NO AUTHORIZATION
He added that it would have an
effect that would not be beneficial
at ALL"
AS passed by the House last
Thursday, the emergency housing
bill contained no authorization OF
5000, 100000 for construction sub
sides and no provision for price
ceilings on existing houses, which
were specifically recommended by
Wilson w Wyatt, Federal Hous-
ing Expediter.
The bill was passed by a vote
of 357 to "a after the House had
rejected by vote of 304 to rs,
a motion to recommit it to the
House Banking and Currency Com
mittee for revision. Two hundred
Democrats, 155 Republicans, l

supply of meat would be VERY

BETWEEN now and January,

approximately $40O,000,000 in fed
eral subsidies.
This, plus its boarding of "in-
ventoTy gains", will cushion any
losses the industry may suffer
during the coming months.
According TO Helstein, 10000
900 pounds Of meat in the hands
of q packing company at the
time price control went off would
undoubtedly = on conservative
estimate - receive an average
mark-up of 10 cents a pound. The
resultant seven million dollars
would be almost clear profit"

Helstein who pointed out t"Tue
black market was never large
enough to make noticeable dent

obviously when the large
companies virtually went out
of the cattle market, their ac-

enlarge the black market. the

George Moncharsh has declared
that the black market does not
divert meat from the retail mar

meat tends to get more, and
