Congress Votes
Housing Bill in
Truman Victory
Compromise Carrying
Public Units Goes
To White House

Congress today completed action
on multi billion dollar long-range
housing legislation and sent it to
President Truman.
The Senate shouted approval of
the compromise measure shortly
after the House okayed it by a
voice vote.
That gave Mr.. Truman the first
major victory for the far-fung do
mestic program he calls the Fair
Deal"
The legislation provides for a
vast slum clearance program and
sets up funds for farm housing
aids.
1t also provides for $40, 900 public
housing units.
There was no debate in the SEN
ate and only brief furry in the
House.
The District of Columbia will
participate fully in the slum clear
ance and redevelopment program.
The measure carries two amend
ments authorizing such participa-
ton. One restores the power of
the National Capital Housing
Authority to purchase property
for low-rent public housing.
A separate amendment added
later by the House would empower
the District Redevelopment Land
Agency to participate in the loans
and grants. The provision re-
garding the Redevelopment Land
Agency was amended in final form
to prohibit use of Federal funds
on the Marshall Heights rede-
velopment proposal which had
been approved by the District
Commissioners.

'Tydings Says Truman
Wants 92S Million Cut
From Defense BUDGET
President Opposes Shift
OfMiIitory Troining Funds
To Enlarge Air Force
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman favors
1923. 100000 cut in the projected
SIS 900, ,000, 900 defense budget for
the current fiscal year if Congress
is not going to pass universal
military training bill, Chairman
Tydings of the Senate Armed
Services Committee said after
a White House call today.
The Senator added that he saw
no chance of the military training
Legislation getting through, mas
much as hearings have not even
started in the House.
In sending the budget to Con-
gress in January the President
provided 100000, but the
House, in shelving the training
proposal. diverted the money to
the Air Force to provide for an in
crease in air power from 48 to 54
groups.
Wants 49, Group Air Force.
The President was quoted by
Senator Tydings today as empha-
sizing that he did not want this
money diverted and that he still
stands for the 48-group Air Force.
Senator Tydings added that he
intended to support the Presi-
dents viewpoint vigorously"
The other $128,000, 900 saving
would come from a reduced allo-
cation for service pay. On the
basis of the Hook Commission re-
port. the President provided $780,
600. 900 in his budget to boost pay,
but the House shaved this to
$272. 100000.
Truman Economy Minded.
Senator Tydings said the Presi-
dent was equally insistent that
this money also be saved instead
of being diverted to some other
military program. The Maryland
Senator added that he expects the
pay bill that eventually comes
from the Senate to be in line with
the House figure.
Senator Tydings said he found
the President pretty economy
minded" in their conversation.
I'm fact" Senator Tydings said,
"the President is a little more
economy minded than Congress
has been up to now" Senator
Tydings added that Congress has
been doing a. lot of talking about
economy and this is the place to
put in into effect.

The situation lined up about
this way:

Senate leaders hope to reach a
final vote on the pact either Mon

priations Committee appeared to
