Senate Group Backs
Housing Bill, 9 10 ;;
Bricker Plan Loses
Segregation Amendment
DeIeted;; Measure Will Be
Introduced Tomorrow

The Senate Banking Committee
today approved a broad multi
billion Federal housing bill, 9 to 3.
1t is to be introduced in the Senate
tomorrow as a bipartisan measure.
The House committee action was
announced by Chairman Maybank
after a closed meeting of the COM
mittee. He said Senators Bricker,
Republican, of Ohio; Cain, Re-
publican, of Washington, and
Robertson, Democrat, of Virginia,
voted against the bill.
The committee also smacked
down. 10 to 2, an amendment by
Senator Bricker to require that
there be no segregation or dis
elimination in the public housing
projects which the bill authorizes
For the moment, at least. that
action headed off a threat that
the measure might bog down in 9
civil rights fight.
Asked for Record Vote.
Senator Maybank told reporters
that Senator Brieker intended tt
bring the amendment up on the
floor, however, and that he hae
asked for a record vote" in com.
mittee so that there would be nc
misunderstanding as to how Sen
ators had voted.
Senator Sparkman. Democrat,
of Alabama who headed a sub
committee. which approved the new
housing measure yesterday, has
said that adoption of the Bricker
provision could kill the whole bill.
"Completely unavoidable" said
Senator Murray. Democrat, of
Montana of Senator Brickers pro-
posal. Senator Murray added: mo
person has the right to kill such a
program by bringing in language
with which many of us agree. but
which is so worded that it may
defeat the housing program"
But Senator Bricker reminded
reporters that the platforms of
both the Democrats and Repub-
licans contain civil rights plankS.
He suggested:
Lets see if they mean it,"
Ma ior ProviSionx.
The bill contains these major
provisions:
/. A low rent public housing
program calling for maximum
construction of 100000 units over
a six-year period.
Construction would be at the
rate of $4,000 units annually, but
the President could either in
crease the annual rate to 250,000
or decrease it to $4,000.
The $4,000 maximum is COM
promise between the 100000
unit seven-year program orig
inally sought by Senator Spark
man, and the 600,000-unit six-year
program sponsored by a Repub-
lican bloc, including Senator Taft.
Federal contributions during the
first five years would be progres-
sively increased to a maximum

Armistice Pact
Signed byEgypt,
Israel on Rhodes
Bunche HoiIs Accord
As Foreshodowinq
Middle East Peace
BY the Assoeioted Press

RHODES, Feb. 24.-Egypt and
Israel signed today an historic
armistice, hailed by the United
Nations mediator as an epochal
event foreshadowing the early re-
turn of peace to the Middle East.
The mediator. Dr. Ralph j.
Bunche, said the agreement "vir-
tually eliminates the possibility of
a future armed conflict" between
Egypt and Israel. He called it "a
significant contribution to world
peace"
Now, said DR.. Bunche, "the con-
centration will be on peaceful set
tlement of all outstanding ques-
tions. political, territorial and eco
nomic, between Israel and her
Arab neighbors." The U. N Pal
estine Cancellation Commissions
already has started to work for
this.
Other Arab States Join Move.
Egypt and Israel, by their agree
ment, blazed the path for the other
Arab states. Iraq already has de-
cided to approve whatever agree
mentS are reached by the other
neighbors of Palestine who nine
months ago had vowed to destroy
the dynamic Jewish state. Talks
with Trans-Jordan, the most
formidable of Israel's foes, begin
Monday.
The Israeli-Egyptian armistice
leaves Israel in possession of nearly
all the southern Negeb desert,
which she hopes to colonize. in
cluding Beersheba. mother city of
the Arab race. 1t outlines broad
demilitarization zones, binds Egypt
to surrender all territory she holds
in Palestine except GAIA and its
five -mile-wide coastal strip, and
to withdraw to a defensive line II
to 80 miles inside her own frontier.
The armistice is clearly described
in it's preamble as a prelude to a
permanent peace.
Political Future Undecided.
In Cairo, Prime Minister Abdel
Hadi Pasha told newsmen the
agreement was on purely military
questions" and did not deal with
the political future of the Holy
Land. But in Tel Aviv, Israeli
Foreign Minister Moshe Shertok
said the armistice would prove a
'momentous event in the life OF
the Middle East"
DR.. Bunche. given the credit for
the agreement by the Israeli dele |
cation, said the armistice incorpo-
rates in it's first article a declara-
ton which is very much akin to
a nonaggression pact" 1t pro-
vides for a substantial withdrawal
of troops and reduction of armed
forces by both sides. He called the
agreement a fair and honorable
one.
While cameras ground out the
story, the delegates signed their
names "a times to the five imita-
tion-leather bound copies of the
agreement. When finished, DR..
Bunche banged his gavel on the
square conference table.
Il thank you from the bottom
of my heart" he said.
Some Questions Still Unsettled.
Still to be settled are the fate OF
the southern tip of the Negeb Des-
ert from Beersheba southwark to
the Red Sea, the central area OF
Palestine held by the Arab Legion
and Iraqis and the old part Of
Jerusalem.
These territorial questions will
be determined largely by armistice
negotiations with Trans Jordan
beginning here Monday.

Truman Favors
Aid Until Europe
Has Recovered
Comments on British
Announcement OF
Economic Gains

that the Marshall Plan should be
continued until the economic re-
covery of Europe is assured.
The Presidents comment came
at his news conference when re-
porter asked if he thought it wise
to continue to pour money into
Great Britain under the Marshall
Plan in view of the fact that a
British spokesman has said that
Britain's economic recovery vir-
tually is assured.
Mr.. Truman said he was not
conversant with the reported
statement. but that at any rate
he felt that the aid now being ex-
tended should go on until it &C
complished its purpose.
The reporter said he assumed
that the President meant that the
program should be carried out for
its full four years.
Industrial Production Up.
Mr.. Truman responded that if
it takes that long, yes. But he
amplified that if the British an
nouncement is correct it may not
require that long.
The report on Britain's eco
nomic recovery came yesterday
from Christopher P. Mayhem,
undersecretary for foreign affairs,
in the general economic debate of
the 18-nation Economic and Social
Council of the United Nations, at
Lake Success, N. Y.
Mr.. Mayhem said that Great
Britain had completed her recov-
cry and now is turning her major
efforts to new social and eco
nomic experiments"
In his remarks. the British
spokesman paid tribute to Ameri-
can aid and said it had enabled
Britain to raise her industrial
production to 20 per cent above
the preWar level.
1T is enabling u.s." he added.
Ito win our way back, through
high production. to complete eco
nomic independence"
G. o. P. to Hear Acheson.
Meanwhile, House Republicans
who are worried about the fate of
struggling China called in Secre-
tary of State Acheson for consul
tation and a statement of policy
And in the House Foreign At
fairs Committee, the new $780,
100000 European aid bin moved
into the final round of hearings.
Three more witnesses were billed
for today's wind-up testimony.
Chairman Bloom told reporters
he expects the committee to ap-
prove extension of the European
recovery plan late next week,
There isn't much doubt about
what will be done on that.
But both in Congress and the
State Departm ment there has
seemed to be deep uncertainty as
to what steps this country can
take now to keep China from be-
ing completely overrun by COM
munism. That was subject for
discussion at Mr.. Acheson's meet
ing with 81 House Republicans,
Some Say It's Too Late.
Some lawmakers figure it is
too late to save China, that moth
ing can do any good, that more
aid would be a waste of money.
But the 81 Republicans sent a
letter to President Truman a
couple of weeks ago. saying g
Communist victory would be a
defeat for America and a threat
to our security. It asked seven
questions, like these:
Does the Government think it
has kept its promises to China? =?
What is our present policy toward
China? What changes, if any,
are contemplated in that policy?
Mr.. Truman turned the letter
over to Mr.. Acheson to answer
Instead of replying to each of the
questions. Mr.. Acheson proposed
that he and the signers talk things
over. So today's meeting was ar
ranged.

|Locdl Student Among
Practice Teachers

Martha Saunders of Hardin
was one of 46 Montana State
college students who were sent
to Montana high schools this
quarter to observe and to teach
for six weeks according to Mil
ford Franks, director of teacher
training at Bozeman.
Purpose of the project is to
make college training of the
students more effective. Four
teen oilers do practice teaching
at BoZeman.
Miss Saunders, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. r. B. Saunders of
Hardin, did her rractice teach
ing at Billings, and has now re-
turned to her college work at
Bozeman.
The first two weeks in the
high schools the students OBJ
served the regular teachers.
Subjects observed were the ma
jors and minors of the stu
dents. While observing they also
assisted the supervising teacher
by taking roll, preparing
equipment, making and scoring
tests and similar activities.
The third week the students
took over the teaching of the
major subjects. Each succeeding
week they added another sub
iect until they had a full teach
ing schedule of four subjects
and a study hall period the
sixth week. Each student also
helped with one activity.
