 Housing Administrator Wilson Wyatt is expected to be appointed to direct the emergency setilp. The House originally cut from the Bill e6OO, 900 900 in building mater ials subsidies as well as a provision for ceiling prices on old homes. President Truman described these two as the ''lleart" of the Adminis- tration housing program and asked that they be restored.
 The Senate restored the $0O0, ,O0O,- 900 in subsidies but not ceiling prices on old homes. Tn Conference, House members declined to agree to the full subsidy program, but ac- cepted the compromise $4OO, 900 900 figure on instructions from the House.
 The bill also would:
 l. Authorize ceiling prices on new homes.
 2. Create a housing expediter with authority to channel scarce materials tO areas where need is greateat.
 3. Give veterans priority on available housing units.
 1. Authorize the Federal HOus- ing Administration to insure mort gages up to $10.0OO.

 Innocent Finds Rome Ln Garments of P0uerty

marble, granite and bronze magni- licences erected by the Little King who has just quit his job when his youngest subjects cluster at your heels staring at you with big black eyes like hungry puppies. From now on I'll never kick about the color of Truman bread or lack of beef in Washington so long as it's going to folks who have for- gotten how good meal tastes. Solves Shirt Crisis While we are on this unhappy subject, I must report the solution of my shirt crisis, and here again it was not fun. The problem con- sisted of valise of dirty shirts and
 no possible way to get them wash- ed. I went to the Renascente De- partment Store for a couple of Mussolini or black shirts to last with an occasional airing until I got home.
 The clerk had pure silk shirts. SIS, fine white poplns, $15, and dark blue, black and brown striped ones of half silk and half cotton for $11.
 I bought black one and a blue one. The clerk wrapped them in some of the gaudiest paper ever produced, and then I noticed his shirt. It was clean but in tatters. More ragged than the one I wear while polishing the family sedan. I left the Renascente feeling no better.
 So much for the sadness of Rome. There is joy here, too, and I'll try to tell about that if don't get my head knocked of. Trouble is I sought to follow a proverb. In Rome I started doing as the Ro- mans do, ignoring sidewalks, stroll ing in the middle of the busiest streets, stopping for conversations, and otherwise acting as though the motor age has not yet arrived. The Romans seem to have developed a sixth sense about leaping when about to be moved down.
 I have escaped trucks so far, and careening jeeps of the U. s. Army, but I came within hair of being smacked by 8 red-wheeled hack equipped with a meter, driven by a whiskery citizen with an ear- Scorching vocabulary, and drawn by frightened horse. From now on I walk on the sidewalks, no matter how peculiar this may look to the Romans.

Rx FREDRRICK Q. OTHMAN

Rome, May IA = (UP)-Emperor Hadrian had himself Q bath de luxe, but you ought to see mine in the Hotel Excelsior. It's lined in pink marble from floor to ceiling, lighted by crystal chandelier, and fitted with an arrangement of silver pipes to keep towels warm.
 Only there are no towels. The one borrowed from my London land- lady is getting dingiet by the day because there are no laundries. Nor is there any soap. That still isn't all. There is a sign on the walls which urges guests to bring their own soap and to keep it locked with their other valuableS.
 I've gone into this bath business because it seems to sum up life in Rome, where the magnificence of bygone day remains but today's necessities simply don't exist. The contrasts are enough to make you blink.
 AntipastO Versus Fields
 Take last night. I had a superb dinner at a black market restau- rant known as Elafredos. It was noisy because Oracle Fields, the British comedienne, sat at the next table and sang with the band while tried to eat my antipasto. l ignor- ed Oracle as well as could and ploWed into my buttered noodles green salad, veal with mushroom cooked in red wine, and wild straw. berries with sugar and whipped cream.

Germans 1Hord' On American Music Tostes

London, May IA GUP) = The Germans are proving so resistant to the music of American radio sta- tions in Germany that 1t will take at least 20 years to alter their tastes and another 30 to make sure they don't backslide into the belief that the only good music is German music.
 That's the word It. Leonard Sop- len of Newton, Mass, brought back from Germany today. He was on an expedition in search of music scores for the symphony orches- tra of the Stuttgart radio.
 T don't know anything about the effect our political propaganda is having" Coplen said, but I can tell you as far as music goes most Ger mans still refuse to look beyond their own borders.
 ''The attitude they take is that the only good music is German mu- sic, and everything else, especially the music of the great n1oderns, is barbarous, unmelodic and filled with strange har1nonies."

Psycho Terrier Promised Pup

Houston, Texas, May 14.-(UP) -Tillie, the psyche terrier who adopted a rag doll when her litter of pups disappeared. soon will get foster pup.
 Sad-faced Tillie gave birth to six pups 10 days ago and an hour later they had disappeared and in their place lay the rag doll. For the next week Tillie bathed the doll frequently, refused to eat or drink unless it was beside her and car- ried 1t on her infrequent trips from her box in 8 garage.

Doc Bracket didn't have black whiskers.
 Nonetheless, he was fine man
 He doctored in Our Town fol many years. He doctored more peo- pie than any other doctor in Oul Town but made less money.
 That was because Doc Bracket was always factoring poor people who had no money to pay.
 He would get up in the middle of the coldest night and ride 2 miles to doctor a sick woman, ol child, or to patch up some fellow who got hurt.
 Everybody in Our Town knew Dot Brackets office over Rices cloth. ing store. It was up narrow flight of stairs. His office was always filled with people. A sign at thu foot of the stairs said: pr. Brac. kett, Office Upstairs.
 Doc Bracket was bachelor. H. was once supposed to marry Mis- Elvira Cromwell, the daughter o. old Junius Cromwell, the banker but on the day the wedding wa! supposed to take place Doc Brac. kett got 8 call to go out into thu country and doctor a Mexican child Miss Elvira got sore at him anC called off the wedding. She saic that man who would think rnort of a Mexican child than of his wed ding was no good. Many womer in Our, Town agreed with Miss Fl vira Cromwell, but the parents O the Mexican child were very grate ful to Doc Bracket when the chil, recovered.
 For 40 years, the lame, and thu halt, and the blind of Our Towl had climbed up and down the stair to Doc Brackets office.
 He never turned away anybody
 Some said Doc Bracket was { loose character, because he liked to drink whiskey and play poker in the back rooms of saloons. But he lived to be seventy years old, and then one day he keeleo over on the sofa in his office anc died. By this time his black hail had turned white.
 Doc Bracket had one of the big. gest funeral ever seen in Our Town Everybody went to pay their las respects when he was laid out 1T Gruber's undertaking parlors. Ht was buried in Riverview Gene tery.
 There was talk of raising none, to put nice tombstone on Do Brackets grave as a memorial The talk got as far as arguing abou what should be carved on the ston, about him. Some thought poetr. would be nice.
 Doc Bracket hated poetry.
 The matter dragged along ant nothing whatever was done.
 Then one day George Gruber, tn undertaken, said that Doc Brackett' memorial was already over hi grave, with an epitaph and all George Gruber said the Mexican parents of the child DOC Bracket saved years ago had worried abou him having no tombstone.
 They had no money themselves so they took the sign from the foo of the stairs at Doc Brackets of flee and stuck it over his grave It read: Dr. Bracket, Office Up stairs.

reparations inspection mission into
Manchuria.
Mr.. Pauley expects to return to
Korea Tuesday, he told a press con-

bers of the commission, he has been
preparing for trip into Russian
occupied Northern Korea.
His itinerary was greater than had
been expected and has been referred

gram I will have worked out by

at a self-governed, unified Korea

month mission as adviser to 1t. Gen.
John r. Hodge, said the Soviets
cant afford not to, in the eyes of
the world"
Negotiations ended May after
the Soviet delegation refused to con-
suit with Koreans of the democratic
council Of South Korea.
Col. Goodfellow will leave by air
Friday, via Tokyo, for Washington.
He will report to the Secretary of
War, then return to private business.
His home now is 2700 @ street NV,
