no fiuke, he also made the
distance on another occasion in

About 81 per cent of the plants

during the last 10 years because the

Supports Are Cracking
Under Bipartisan Aid
For Housing Statutes

Bipartisan support in the Senate
Tor housing legislation appeared to-
day to be falling apart although
a leading Democratic sponsor said
1t will all be patched up in the end.
Senator Ellender, Democrat, of
Louisiana, chief Democratic spon-
sor Of the Taft -Ellender- Wagner
long-range housing measure last
year, predicted members of both
parties will iron out their differ
ences and get together behind a
bipartisan program.
But Senator Ives, Republican, of
New York, long a public housing
proponent, said it seemed to him
"the Democrats themselves have
slammed to door to reconciliation
by not giving Senator Taft a proper
chance to join them" He said it
appears the Democrats are after
party credit for housing legislation.
Senator Taft, the Ohio Republi-
can who got his bill through the
Senate last year only to have it
blocked by House Republicans, al
ready has protested he was not given
an opportunity to study an Admin
istration housing bill before it was
introduced by Senator Ellender and
six other Democrats. Therefore, he
announced yesterday, he haG de-
cided not to join them as he had
planned. Two other Republicans.
Senators Flanders of Vermont and
Tobey of New Hampshire, also with
drew from sponsorship.
The Administration bill is de-
signed to carry out the Truman
program announced in the Presi-
dents e-of-the- Union address
1t calls for slum clearance, 100000
farm homes in 10 years, housing
research to cut building costs and,
100000 loW-rent public housing
units to be built in the next seven
years.
Senator Taft has criticized this
bill as too big from the public
housing standpoint, declaring it !
would mean about 25 per cent of
the home construction would be
Government-operat public hous- |
ing. His own bill called for about
10 per cent such construction, with
the Government contributing an
annual subsidy.
Senators Ives, Taft, Flanders and
other Republicans now plan to in
troduce their own bill shortly.
