Housing Fight Shifts
After Democrats Win
Committee Battle
By the Assoeioted Press

A surprise Democratic victory
In one Republican, dominated
House committee today put the
fate of long-rang housing legis-
lation squarely up to a second
GOP-controlled> group.
Eleven Democrats, voting solidly
and with the help of three Repub-
licans, took full charge of the 27-
member House Banking Committee
late Yesterday. That body approved,
by l4-to-13 vote, all the major
provisions of the Senate-passed
Taft -Ellender- Wagner housing bill.
The T-E-W measure aims at
bringing about. the construction
of 100000 homes in 10 years
including 100000 Government
financed, low-rent dwelling units
to be operated by local public
housing authorities. Sponsors say
the main emphasis, however, is on
private enterprise, with various
Government aids.
Issue Before Rules Committee.
The housing issue now moves to
the House Rules Committee. which
must clear all controversial legis-
lation before it can be brought to
a vote on the floor.
Representative Monroney, Demo-
crat. of Oklahoma, said the bill
might be "bottlenecked" there.
Some Republicans indicated, how
ever, it will get a green light.
Chairman Allen of the Rules Com
mittee made no prediction. He i'm
mediately requested meeting Of
the House Republican Steering Com
mittee, including Speaker Martin.
Mr. Martin, too, was silent pend
ing a decision by the steering group.
In effect, the Democrat ts-grabbing
control of a congressional commit
tee for the first time since the Re-
publicans took over Congress in l947
overturned the substitute housing
bill offered by Banking Chairman
Wolcott.
Mr.. Wolcott had hurled charge
of socialism at the public housing
and slums clearance provisions of
the T-E-W bill, although one of its
sponsors is Senator Taft of Ohio, a
leading COP presidential aspirant
The original Wolcott bill would have
deleted these provisions, along with
one calling for Federal aids for
farm home building
Republican leaders conceded prl-

vately they were caught by surprise.
One said two committee Democrats
had given firm commitments that
they would oppose the publiahous-
ing provisions of the T-E-W bill.
Although the dramatic voting oc-
Cured behind closed doors, commit
tee sources said these three Re-
publicans - Stratton OF Illinois,
Scott of Pennsylvania and Hull OF
Wisconsin-joined the II Democrats
to vote down the remaining l3 COM
mittee Republicans, including Mr..
Wolcott.
The completely unexpected action
came at an afternoon session. Dur
ing the morning the committee had
voted, IA to IL, against substituting
the Senate bill.
Only Mr.. Hull and Mr.. Stratton
sided on that tally with the Demo-
Gratis, one of whom was absent.
The afternoon meeting was called
only for the formality of reporting
out the Wolcott bill.
But when the group met, Demo-
Evening star., 1948-06-11

Gratis renewed their firing, and Mr.
Scott switched his vote.
Mr.. Wolcott, gloomily announcing
the committee action, conceded that
his own bill had been changed to
embody about everything in the
T-E-W bill" except the preamble
In addition to the public housing
slums clearance and farm housing
aids. the Senate and the new House
bill provide:
/. Renewal of Government mort
gage insurance on new home con-
struction.
2. Liberalization of home loan
terms, including special loan ar
rangements for veterans co-opera-
tiVes.
3. Guaranteed annual returns fol
big scale investors in rental hous-
ing.
4. A housing research program
5. Special grants for building
homes for paralyzed veterans in
wheel chairs.

Swiss May Ask Hague Court
To Rule on Marshall Plan
BY the Associated Press

BERNE, Switzerland, June IL
Switzerland may take some provi-
sions of the Marshall Plan to the
international Court at The Hague,
Swiss Foreign Minister Max Petit
pierre said yesterday.
Mr.. Petitpierre told Parliament
Switzerland tomorrow will send a
note to Washington in an effort to
settle Swiss American differences
over certifications of hidden assets.
If necessary, he added, the issue will
be submitted to the International
Court.
The Swiss complaint deals with
assets of enemies of the Allies which
are held in the United States. The
Swiss want time beyond next Sep

these funds belong. American
