Sen. Robert A. Taft doesn't
like the Truman Administra-

money on homes for families in

Taft made the statement in a
speech Jan. rs before the Mort
gage Bankers Association of Am
erica-obviously the kind of au-
dience that would be tickled
down to its bottom foreclosure
by such talk.
What's bothering him is the
fact that the Administration
wants to build 100000 housing
units at the rate of 100000 a
year. Taft favors 125,000 units
a year for four years, and that
with only mild enthusiasm.
Apparently he feels the Ad-

House Changes Seen
As Rules Group Meets
To Clear Pensionbi
By the Associofed Press

| The hundred-b billion dollar vet
erans' pension bill may undergo
sharp changes during House de-
bate.
The Rules Committee called a
meeting for today to give the
measure clearance for House de-
bate probably next week.
Administration spokesmen said
privately no effort will be made to
keep the bill from House vote or
delay a showdown. Such an at
tempt could be thwarted anyhow
under a new rule that would allow
Representative Rankin, Democrat,
of Mississippi to force a showdown
on March IA if he wants to.
Mr.. Rankin is chairman of the
House Veterans Affairs Commit
tee which approved the bill last
month.
He has estimated it's projected
cost up to the year 1000 at $109,-
900 100000. although some esti-
mates have raised this to $780,
900 100000.
Measure Is Outlined.
The bill would give a pension
of $50 a month to every veteran
of World Wars I and II, except
those dishonorably discharged. at
the age of IS, regardless of need
or physical condition.
Veterans suffering from nom
service connected mental or physi-
cal disabilities requiring the serv-
ices of a full-time attendant would
get $120 a month regardless of
their age.
Because of the huge cost of the
bill, the administration doesn't
want it passed in its present form
but is faced with the practical
situation that members of Con-
gress are reluctant to vote against
any bill giving benefits to war
veterans. So the plan is to water
it down and cut out some of the
billions.
Some members are lining up be-
hind an amendment that would
limit the pensions to veterans of
World War I. Their argument is
that most World War II veterans
won't be IS for many years and
Congress can take care of them
later. On the other hand, many
World War I veterans are near the
age Of eligibility.
Limitations Favored.
There is strong sentiment also
for an amendment that would
limit payment of pensions to vet
erans actually in need. Under this
proposal, veteran would not be
eligible for a pension unless his
annual income from all other
sources fell below a stated amount
Some members also hope to
riddle the bill with so many
amendments that it will not win
final approval. There have been
proposals to add an amendment
which in effect would give a bonus
to all World War II veterans In
the guise Of a pension.
Under this plan. a veteran would
start receiving a monthly pen
sion" Immediately and would re-
ceive it until he had been given q
total based on the length of his
wartime service. While in effect
a bonus, this plan would be called
a pension.
A plan to have the bill recon-
mitted "for further study" also Is

Of the four seeded teams in the
tourney, will be heavily favored
over their first opponents.
In fact some observers go so
far as to say the Monarchs are

powerful Fredericktown. T e

it used to, however, since both
