Senate feShowdown Due
=
On Housing Bill Today;
Final Ballot Unlikely
by fhs Assoeiotsd Press

Senate hackers and foes OF
public housing squared away
today for a showdown.
The Senate battle centers around
an amendment to Senator Cain. Re-
publican, of Washington which
would strike from the Taft-Ellen-
der-Wagner long range housing bill
a section authorizing 100000 Gov
ernment -owned and operated pub
lie housing units.
- That is the. most hotly disputed
provision Of the measure, which is
aimed at encouraging the building
of 100000 new homes during the
next 10 years. Private industry
would handle most of the job aided
by Federal loans and subsidies.
The bill also would extend the
Governments home loan insurance
program, provided special incentives
for rental housing construction, and
authorize vast slum clearance pro-
gram.
Final Vote Doubtful Today.
The Senate put in four hours OF
slam-bang debate on the Cain
amendment yesterday without
reaching vote.
There was some doubt whether
there could be a final ballot today.
The Senate was scheduled to put
the bill aside during the afternoon
COR a memorial service honoring
eight Senators who died during the
last three years.
In any event, the fight over public
housing went on without Senator
Taft, Republican, Of Ohio, a CO.
sponsor of the bill and the leader
of yesterdays fight against the Cain
proposal.
Senator Taft, a candidate for the
Republican presidential nomination,
left after yesterdays session for a
round of political campaigning in
Ohio.
Flanders Directs Battle.
In his absence, Senator Flanders,
Republican, of Vermont took over
direction of the battle for public
housing. He told a reporter it's
going to be close, but I think we
have the votes to defeat the
amendment"
The Senate yesterday adopted two
public housing proposals sponsored
by Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
of Wisconsin, who has been feuding
with Senator Taft over that section
for a week
Senator McCarthy's amendments
would:
/. Give lowest income families a
priority on occupancy of public
housing and permit no discrimina-
ton against welfare or relief fami-
lies.
2. Let the Government oust ten
ants earning more than the top SAL
ray specified as a condition Of oc-
cupancy. The salary ceiling varies
with housing projects.
Despite adoption Of these pro-
visions, Senator Mccarthy said he
intends to vote for the Cain amend
ment. The Wisconsin Senator said
he still believes public housing
should stand or fall "on its merits"
in separate legislation.

NAVY YARD JOBS-The Civil

Wages for these jobs range from

available for painters, pipefitters,
plasterers, sailmakers. sandblasters,
upholsterers, wharfbuilders and ord

No written test is required. Appli-
cants will be judged on their expert

CAPITAL ROUNDUP-The Civil
Service Commission is reported
ready to issue an order to make
several hundred thousand temporary
Federal employees eligible for Rams
peck ingrade promotions. This will
mean small pay increases for these
workers, who greatly deserve them
It's reported the Senate will
wait for the House to decide on
Federal pay raise legislation before
taking action itself. At Senate
Republican Policy Committee yester-
day, it was agreed the $3.50 and $500
pay raises for Federal employees and
postal workers, respectively, voted
by the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee, would be much too costly.
House Republican leaders say they
might go for a temporary $400 or
$500 bill, but they are angered at
the pressure" of some postal groups
to increase the amount to $500
One Republican House leader put
it as follows: If the postal people
keep Insisting on $500 or nothing.
they'll windup with nothing, as will
the rest of the Governments en-
ployes. Some of us feel that, II
they want an $500 bill we should
pass measure increasing post office
revenues. That would put the pay
raise bill off until next year. Is
that what the postal workers want?
Use what I've said in your column
and put those guys wise" The
innocent bystanders are the rest OF
the Governments employees, most Of
whom would gladly settle for $40t
or $500 bill. But, obviously, If Con.
gress denied postal workers a raise
it couldn't very well grant wage
increases to Federal employees.
