A few days after your paper

The men in the mill were
laughing and kidding. Lots of us

newspaper that is not afraid to
print the truth. OF course, the
job is not yet finished. The food
is still lousy and prices high.

The BUSES are full of gas

Death Of Housing Bill
lin Committee Urged
|by Real Estate Boards
By the As,oeioisd Press

The National Association Of Real
Estate Boards asked the House
Banking Committee today to kill the
Taft Ellender- Wagner housing bill,
already passed by the Senate.
william d. Davis, Kansas City,
speaking for the association, said
some Of us think the real master
minds and hackers of the bill do not
like private ownership Of property
at all"
He and other witnesses for the
organization said the fundamental
issue involved in the bill. particularly
the public housing section, Is this:
Whether the Federal Government
should assume the responsibility OF
providing every citizen with the
necessities OF life, including home.
House Substitute Planned.
The measure is aimed at construc-
ton Of 15,O0O,0 900 homes in 10 years.
It provides for 100000 Federally-
Constructed low-reht housing units.
House Republican leaders are
working on a substitute for the
measure.
The substitute appears certain to
omit any provision for Federal
financing of the 100000 low-rent
housing units.
Chairman Walcott Of the House
Banking Committee will offer the
new measure. 1t may be introduced
tomorrow or Wednesday.
House Supporters Fail.
House proponents of the Taft
Ellender-Wagner bill failed in an
attempt to blast it out of the Bank
ing Committee. Only ISL members
signed a petition to send 1t to the
floor without committee action.
This fell far short Of the ~ re-
ouired, and with adjournment set
for June 10, last week was the dead
line for any such discharge" &C
ton
This left the House Republican
leadership in firm control of hous-
ing legislation.
Mr.. Wolcott said he isn't ready
to say what his substitute will con-
tain.
The Wolcott bill is almost certain
to provide for continuation of Title

sures mortgages on new homes to
prevent any large losses by those
financing such construction.

future for our beloved republic" he
said.
Lauded for Deeds.

The government communique said
Premier Gottwald, at the cabinet
meeting. lauded the Presidents S
deeds during the Munich period
and his later record.
He resigned once before-in 1888
after the Munich conference
brought the German invasion. How
ever, he reassumed the presidency in
London July 81, 1910.
He first became president in De-
cember, 1885, after Thomas G. Mas
aryk resigned because of age and
illness. Mr.. Benes had been Mr.. Mas
aryk's foreign minister II years and
helped him found the Czechoslovak
republic.
Three months ago Mr.. Masaryk's
son Jan, Mr.. Benes' foreign minis
ter, was found dead-a suicide, the
Communist government said. That
followed the Communist coup in
February, which sharply reduced
Mr.. Benes' powers.
The resignation took out of the
government the last strong link
that this country, founded with
American support, had with the
West. Mr.. Benes remained that
link, although his powers were
shern. even after he bowed to the
|Commuriits in February. He per-
mftted the Communists to form
their government, Gottwald ac-
knowledged at the time, in order
to avoid bloodshed and rioting. Mr..
[Benes said the event could have
e'on1ysevn results"
E Constitution Adopted May 9.
The constitution which Mr.. Benes
refused to accept was adopted May
20 by a purged, Communist DOM
mated Parliament.
There has been speculation for
two weeks that Mr.. Benes would
resign-with i'll health given as
the reason.
Gottwald's Office said Mr.. Benes
will receive the Presidential country
home at Lany, "a miles from Prague,
as a tribute to his work, and that
his presidential salary will con-
tinue for life.
Under the new constitution, Gott-
valid will summon Parliament and
sign all bills. Parliament will be
asked Thursday to set new presl-
Dental elections for next Monday,
the Premier's Office said.
1t was uncertain Immediately
whom the Communists will support
for the job. Gottwald has been
mentioned, but there was doubt
whether the Communists would
want their leader to retire from
the premiership to the less active
presidency. Antonin Zapotocky,
head of the trade unions and Dep
uty Premier, is perhaps next in
line for the premiership if Gott-
wald should take the presidency.

Delay in Obtaining Quorum.
After Senator Gurney moved to
table the LANCER amendment, a
motion which was not debatable,
the Senate had to wait more than
half hour to obtain quorum.
After the vote Senator LANCER
offered his second amendment and
began a speech supporting it. This
would prohibit segregation as ap-
piled to drafted or enlisted service
men when travelling on interstate
carriers.
Even if the other LANCER amend
ments fail, at least three other
battles stand between the draft bill
and Senate passage. They are:

Democrat, of Georgia, and other
Southerners are backing an
amendment that would require the
services to set up all-white and all

asked could be assigned to serve
and live only with men OF their
own race. 49,, So.
This, too, is likely to run afoul a
motion to table after some debate.
Effective date-Senator Capehart,
Republican, of Indiana, said he ex-
poets the Senate to approve his plan
to require that President Truman
start any actual drafting, but only
after a 90-day delay.
Capehart Seeks Delay.
The Senate bill would make reg
istration and induction effective as
soon as the bill becomes law. Sem
ator Capeharl would delay any ac-
tual drafting until the President
proclaimed this necessary.
A similar provision is pending in
the House with support Of both Re-
publican leaders and its Armed
Services Committee.
Foreign Legion-Senator Lodge,
Republican, of Massachusetts, also
promises a floor battle for his plan
to authorize the Army to recruit
so 900 aliens from 18 to 35 years
of age. They could become citizens
of the United States after five years
satisfactory service.
Most of them would be young
Europeans, Senator Lodge said.
They would have to be assigned
to duty outside the continental
United States and its territories and
possessions.
Senate Rejection Expected.
Senator Gurney said the Lodge
plan was turned down "by unan-
imous vote" of the Armed Services
Committee and he expects the Sen
ate to do the same.
The Senate bill would require
registration of all men from 18
through Is years, as well as doctors,
dentists and others IN the med
ical professions up to As years.
Those in the 1925 age group
would be subject to draft for two
years service. The 18-year-olds
could volunteer for one year of
training up to total OF 161 600
during the next year. Both groups
then must go into reserve pool.
House leaders have had a 1925
draft bill ready for consideration
for weeks, but plan to let the Sen
ate complete action first.

Conscription issued statement in
which Scientist Albert Einstein and
