Congress 10 Stay Herr
Until Job Is Done,
Rayburn Declares
Speaker Tells Truman
Housing BiII.WiII Pass;
Action Possible Today

House Speaker Rayburn said to-
day after, a White House confer
ence that Congress is giving no
thought to adjournment.
We're going to stay here until
we get through" Mr.. Rayburn said
after he and other legislative lead
ers had held their weekly meeting
with President Truman.
The Speaker also said he told
Mr.. Truman not to worry about
his housing legislation-that the
House will pass "a pretty good
bill"
He added he had advised the
President he thinks the housing
bill will be passed certainly by
tomorrow, maybe today"
Timetable Is Accelerated.
That is a faster timetable than
some Democratic leaders had an
ticipated. Most of them figured
it might be Wednesday before
final House action since there
was a long list of proposed
amendments and substitutes
waiting to be acted on when the
House met today.
Administration leaders hope to
complete action on the bill and
send it to the White House by
Friday. They claimed a margin
of 80 to so House votes in favor
Of the legislation. The Senate
already has passed a housing bill
and any differences between that
and the House version will have
to be ironed out in conferences.
The measure. as drawn, calls
for construction of 1850 900 public
housing units through local hous-
ing authorities in seven years.
The tenants would pay low rents
less than the cost Of the housing.
The Federal Government would
pay up to $500, 600, 080 a year for
10 years. to meet the difference
between that rent and the amount
necessary to cover the cost of
building and operation.
House Democratic leaders, in a
drive to collect more votes. have
agreed to cut the figure to S10. 900
public housing units In six years,
with annual Federal contributions
up to $3os, 900, 900. which is the
way the Senate approved it.
The measure also provides ST.
000, 900 900 in loans and $500. 000.-
900 in grants for slum clearance,
and q little over $3.50. 000. 900 for
farm housing aids.
The total cost is estimated all
the way from $500. 100000 to
$40, 900 900 900, in 40 years.
Republicans we're split three
ways.
One bloc was looking for a
compromise bill that would drop
public housing and concentrate
on slum clearance and perhaps
some farm housing aids. Another
stood Arm against the legislation.
refusing to accept any compro-
mise.
A third group. numbering an
estimated 20 to 80 members. APP
peared ready to throw its support
behind Mr.. Trumans bill.

SP0RTShEN WILL TRY TO GET
 NRA MEET HERE

The possibility of conducting
 the first regional shoot ever to
 be held in Alaska under the
 sponsorship of the National
 Rifle Association as part of the
 MatanuSka Valley Sportsmen's
 fair program next fall, were dis
 cussed at last weeks club meet
 ing. The suggestion was voiced Tn response to fair manager Charles Dillon's request for club cooperation and participation in the fair program.
 Club members agreed to un- dertake the sponsorship of a trap shoot, and to try to hold a regional shoot during fair dates. The shoot would draw lcompeti- tion from all of Alaska. The Sportsmen also agreed to pre- pare a club display for fair eX- hibition.
 In addition to fair plans. ac- tlvitieS for the coming summer and fall season were suggested. President L. c. Stock proposed a giant fish fry as a social activity for the summer season, to sup plement the falls game dinner. Members assignments for that game dinner will be discussed at the next board meeting.
 Bill Smith announced that he had issued a challenge, in the name of the club, to a five-man Army shooting team. It is ex- pected that a competitive match will be arranged in the near fu- ture.
 Secretary Bruce Graham an nounced that the Anchorage Sportsmen's club had suggested the Valley group band with them in posting a reward offer ed to anyone who gives informa- 51on leading to the arrest and conviction of game law viola 'ors. A second proposal, sug- 5esting club members be named 70 work gather information on 'iolatorS for the Fish and Wild life Service, was vetoed by the
