look very much like bushes. Dwarf
oaks grow on some mountains and
so do other trees which are tall in

It is believed that the difference

Housing Bill
Still Blocked

WASHINGTON UPA) - The
anti-public housing men on the
House Rules Committee sue
ceeded in bottling up the bill
approved by the Banking Com
mittee for another week, which
probably means that it won't
reach the House floor until the
end of June.
Last weeks delay resulted
when Rep. Christian Herter
(R. Mass) asked the committee
to delay action until the Bud
get Bureau could produce fig
ures showing the possible cost
of the program, intended to fl
nance building of l,050,OO units
of low-rent housing and to aid
cities in slum clearance and re-
development plans.
House Banking Committee
Chairman Brent Spence Cd,
Ky0 finally filed last week his
notice that, if the Rules Commit
tee continues to hold up the
measure, he will call it up on
the House floor the last Monday
in, June. 1t already has passed
the Senate, 81 to 13.
Meanwhile, support continued

in Detroit just last Saturday, a

job available Monday morning,
at another plant, if he can pro-
duce journeymans card. How
ever, not having a card, and 1t
is imposibe to establish proof of
being a journeyman in so short
a period, therefor the job will
be filled by man that has been
certified by the skilled trades

Another man moved from De-
troit to Ypsilanti, and is en-
ployed there. However in 1946
this man made application and
was certified as a journeyman,
but neglected to have his pic.

card. this neglect now causes
some hardship on the applicant,
to prove at Ypsilanti that he is a

CIO S. C retary treasurer
James Carey, accompanied by
a CIO member from Camden,
Nelson Cruickshank, director of
social insurance activities for
the AFL, testified. Both men
supported the administration
bill, S. 1879, which Cruickshank
explained "is based on the prin-
ciple that people should pay
their way in proportion to their
means, in this case by small reg
ular payments into the insur-
ance fund. and should therefore
have needed medical services as
a right not as a government
charity"
'"Our aim," Carey said, lis to
supplant second-rate and sec
ond-hand medical care which is
the lot of millions of Americans,
if they get any at all"
Both union men attacked the
Taft and Hill substitutes for the
health insurance program. Both
bills, said Carey, fail to meet
the needs of the self-supportlne
majority in the middle Income
group. Any measure that en-
phasizes help on a charity basis
is step backward. People
should not be required to prove
that their incomes are low OF
that they have no resources. II
is bad enough to be poor with
out having to prove it, and with
out having investigators snoor
around to see that you have not
lied"
The Hill and Taft bills,
Cruickshank pointed out, would
require a person who wants to
establish eligibility for help in
paying medical bills or insur-
ance premiums Ito be certified
as needy after investigation OF
his finances. This is reiugnant to
the American working people
and will never be accepted by
them as a substitute for health
insurance.

Divided Senofe
Begins tn
Debate
Continued from Page 1

Some Senators are willing to
permit the courts a free range
in providing compensation to
owners for government use OF
commandeered plants. Others in
sist upon assurances that no net
profit will accrue to corporations
while their facilities are in gov
ernment hands.
The AFL has declared its will
ingness to accept the a boVe
amendments, save the Stipula-
ton that either party to a dis
pute must bargain on the others
request. The AFL acceptance OF
the plant seizure plan presumed
a 3O-day, not a 90-.day period.
CIO has issued no statement
comparable to the AFL's, but
is believed to have adopted ap7
proximately the same position,
and is demanding that employ
ers whose plants have to be
seized make no profits during
the period of government opera
ton.
The United Mine Workers,
the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen and the United Elec-
trical Workers-CIO, on the other
hand, have all announced their
opposition to any form of plant
seizure, which they claim, would
often have the same effect as
an injunction.
Most pro union legislators,
and the bulk of AFL and CIO
legislative representatives main
tain that if plant seizure isn't in
the bill, continuation of the Taft
Hartley injunctions is certain.
A printed version of these
amendments is circulating under
the names of several Democratic
members of the Senate Labor
Committee, plus Republican
liberals Wayne Morse (Ore.) and
George Aiken (Vt).
Morse was out of town at the
end of last week. Aiken said
that he'd support these amend
ments, and perh ps several
more He said that any sound
labor bill would have to be 'bi-
partisan" adding that the origi-
nal T h o m Lesinski b Il i
doesn't" have a prayer.
Over on the House side of the
Capitol Labor Committee men,
bers are struggling with the
same questions. In addition to
the two principal approaches to
the national emergency strike"
issue - injunction and plant
seizures - two other solutions
are before the House committee
men.
One, introduced by r e p
Thomas Burke Cd, Ohio, pro-
VideS for a compulsory media
ton period in vital disputes. The
other, urged by Rep. Andrew
Jacobs ID, IndO, says that all
contracts covering virtually an
entire industry must contain a
clause for operation of a frac-
ton of the plants in the event
of a strike.
Meanwhile, Senator Robert A.

colleagues on both sides of the
