Thumbs Down on
Premium, Price
Ceilings

Washington. Apr. 11-AP- The
Senate shunted the emergency
housing bill back to the House to-
day and quickly turned to a com
panion measure intended to add
1880 900 new homes by 1856.
This long-range bill came to the
Senate's floor with the unanimous
approval of its Banking Committee,
Bipartisan backing is demonstrat-
ed by its trio OF authors: Senators
Wagner (D-N.YD, Taft (R-Ohio)
and Ellender (DLa.),
The bill is not linked to but fits
in with the emergency housing
legislation which the Senate passed
yesterday, SO to IA, and sent back
to the House for action on amend
ments.
The emergency bill is designed to
provide 100000 new dwelling
units. largely for veterans, by the
end of next YEAR.
Before il can reach President
Truman for signature. however, the
Senate and House must agree on a
compromise version to be worried
out by a Senate-House committee.
The chief point OF difference is
the Senate provision for 100000,
600 in subsidies to encourage the
output Of scarce building materials.
Thumbs Down
The House refused TO permit
these premium payments, and 9th
branches turned thumbs down on
price ceilings for existinb dwell
ings. The Administration, from
Mr.. Truman down, had urged both
these features. Ceilings on new
houses were provided by the House
and the Senate alike.
The long.range bill makes no at
tempt to settle urgent housing
problems. II takes things slower,
and is based on the idea that easier
government loans and mortgage
guarantees might encourage moro
construction by private enterprise.

KRONBERG, Germany, June t.
The Countess of Hesse, 74-year- old
granddaughter of Queen Victoria,
said today the House of Hesse was
assured by United States Army per-
sonnet last year that stolen crown
jewels worth 81 100000 were in safe
American hands.
The STRAIGHTFORWARD countess said
in an interview that her family had
known when the treasure was dug
up from a basement floor in Kron-
berg Castle, requisitioned as an
Army Officers Club, seven months
ago.
"We were told the jewels had been
taken to the room of an American
officer and were in safe hands," she
added.
Did Americans take them? Ameri-
cans were in charge of the castle
Who else?"
A later inquiry by the Hesse fam
lily brought the assurance that the
jewels had been turned over to mill
tary authorities in Frankfurt, the
countess said. But when her daugh-
ter-in-law, Princess Sophie of Hesse,
asked for their return two months
ago they could not be found.
