enjoy them when am home as they
are SO happy they make me

Can any reader tell me how to get
a 2-year-old boy to enjoy his hair
cuts? Our little son was two last
November and has been getting
haircuts since his first birthday. He
Is normally easy to manage but
from the minute he enters a barber
shop until he is taken from the

it's nearly impossible to cut his hair
as he throws himself around so he
just wears himself and us COM
pletely out! The night he has had
his hair cut, he wakens crying in
his sleep. We have reached the
stage, that rather than submit him
to such fright, we just let his hair
get long.

Even If the Senate should re-

that issue would be thrown into

voted, 161 to 90, against subsidies

Meanwhile, the Senate could pass
separately and give the House a
chance to consider the more general
housing bill, which was drawn up
last fall by Senator Wagner, Demo-

of Ohio. and Ellender, Democrat, OF

Although this bill covers all phases
of the postwar housing problem, it
also contains some special provisions

A comprehensive, long-range
housing bill to encourage pri-
vate enterprise to 60 as far as
it can in meeting the need for
new homes, won the approval of
a Senate banking subcommittee
yesterday.
Senate Majority Leader Barley
said the subcommittee decided not
to incorporate into this general
housing program the temporary
emergency housing bill for veterans,
which passed the House 10 days
ago after being stripped of the
$500, 000, 900 construction subsidy
fund advocated by the administra-
ton to hold down the price of new
homes. The House also refused to
apply price ceilings to existing
houses.
Brief Senate hearings will be held
on the House bill, probably within
q week Senator Barley said. Both
bills may go to the Senate floor
about the same time, but not until
after disposal Of the pending battle
