Compromise Voted
On Public Housing
By the Assoeioied Press

Senate House conferees on a
multi-agency appropriation bill
voted today to permit the start
of 10000 new low-rent public
housing units in the current
fiscal year.
This was a compromise be-
tween the Senate vote for $4,000
starts and the House decision to
permit none. The compromise
must yet be passed on by both
houses.
Three Senators confirmed the
10000 compromise was reached
in today's closed meeting Of the
conference committee.
Former President Truman in
his budget for fiscal 1854, which
began July l, had asked for the
authority to start $4,000 units.
President Eisenhower trimmed
this request to $4,000, the num-
ber voted for fiscal 1853 which
ended June 80.
The conference did not finish
their work on the bill, which
carries about $3.50 million to run
IS Government agencies in the
current fiscal year. They are to
continue tomorrow.

WITH FRENCH FORCES AT
LANG SON, Indochina. July IT.
French Union paratroopers to-

10 miles of the Communist
Chinese frontier, in the boldest
raid of the 7-year-old war
against the Viet-Minh. They
wrecked the chief supply center
for all war equipment supplied
to the Viet-Minh by Red China.
A military spokesman said that
while the troops were not ex-
pected to occupy Lang Son for
long, the attack proved the
French had definitely abandoned
defensive tactics and were
changing over to the offensive.
Five thousand paratroopers
were dropped from American

Court Upsets Ruling
AGAINST Transamerica
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, July IT,
The United States Court of Ap-
peals today set aside a Federal
Reserve Board ruling ordering
Transamerica Corp. to sell all
it's stock in AZ banks in five
Western States.
The original order. issued
March q, 1852, gave Trans
america 2 years and 80 days in
which to sell the stock.
In Washington, a spokesman
said the board would reserve
comment on an appeal until it
received copies of the reversal
order.
The board held that the
Transamerica holdings violated
section seven of the Clayton
Antitrust Act because the
stocks lessened competition
among the banks and tended to
create a monopoly for Trans
america.
The courts opinion was writ
ten by Judge Albert Maris and
was concurred in by Judges
Herbert Goodrich and Harry
Kalodner.

Taft Not 10 Return
For Present Session;
Hip Lessons Healed
His Condition Is Good,
Hospital Says, but Dote
For Leaving Is in Doubt
By the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, July 17.-Senator
Taft Withdrew today from
further participation in the cur
rent session of Congress because
Of a hip ailment.
The 63-year-old Ohio Repub-
lican relinquished active floor
leadership to Senator Knowland
of California last June 10, al
though he kept the title of ma
jority leader.
Today, New York Hospital,
where Senator Taft is conva-
lescing after the latest of a Sc
ries of treatments for the hip,
issued a bulletin saying that
Senator Taft "does not intend
to return to his duties at this
session of Congress-"
The bulletin called the SEN
ator's condition good" and said
mo complications of any kind
have developed" as a result of an
exploratory operation on July 8.
1t added:
"The bandages and stitches
will be removed some time next
week. No date has been set for
his departure from the hospital" p"
Earlier, Senator Taft's ad-
ministrative assistant, Jack
Martin, had said in Washing

tion had revealed no organic
disorder and showed that a bone
lesion in the Senator's hip had

Know|and Sees
Postal Rate Bill
Sidetracked
Holds No Hope Now
For Measure Marked
For Special Attention

The administrations request
for higher postal rates virtually
was sidetracked for this session
of Congress today by Acting
Senate Floor Leader Knowland.
From information which I
now have do not believe the
postal rate bill will be acted upon
at this session." Senator Know
land said after a meeting Of the
Senate Republican Policy Com
mittee, which he heads.
Senator Knowland indicated
his prediction was based on the
time it will take for hearings in
both houses, with Congress driv-
ing to adjourn in two weeks.
Shift in Opinion.
Only last Tuesday, the postal
rate measure was singled out for
special attention at a White
House conference of G. o. P.
congressional leaders. Senator
Knowland at that time joined
Speaker Martin in predicting the
bill would pass by July 81.
A combination of prolonged
questioning, reaction throughout
the country, dissension in the
House Post Office Committee.
and the drive for adjournment
August l already had raised
higher hurdles against the postal
rate raises.
Postmaster General Summer
field, testifying before the House
committee daily since last Mon
day, took time off today for the
weekly meeting of the cabinet.
But House committee opponents
have another four or five hours
of questioning that may cause
him to return tomorrow or Mon
day.
Meanwhile, numerous individ-
uals or groups want to be heard
mainly in opposition to the rate
increases at this time. The COM
mittee hearing problem has be-
come further complicated by re-
quests from postal employees
associations which, will not nec-
essarily opposing rate increases.
believe pay raises should be con-
sidered at the same time.
Hope to Tighten Deficit.
Mr.. Summerfleld has been
sticking to his guns in a battle
to raise $240 million in addi-
tional funds by increasing rates
on first, second and third class
mail, and thus reduce a 1894
million operating deficit in his
department. With other savings
or administrative moves. he
hopes to tighten that deficit to
no more than SIS million by next
July /.
The rate increase he proposes
would require a four instead Of
three-cent stamp on regular first
class out-of-town letters. They
would charge seven instead Of
six cents for an air mail stamps.
They also would raise rates to
some extent on second-class mail
such as newspapers and maya
zines, on third-class mail such
as circulars, and to lesser de-
gree on book mailingS.

Youth, 1S, Sentenced
.To2O 10 So Years in
Series Of Ho|dups
Prison Terms to Run
ConsecutiveIy; z Others
Get Stiff Penalties

An 18-year-old bandit today
was given a Jail sentence for
a series of armed robberies that
will keep him in prison for from
20 to so years.
Today's sentence, given by
Federal Judge Edward A. Tamm,
is the stiffest ever imposed in
the United States District Court
for the. District of Columbia in
the memory of court attaches.
The youth will not be eligible
for parole until he has served
one-third of the maximum.
Given the severe punishment
was Huey Johnson, 18, colored
of the 1900 block Eighth street
NV, a member of a gang OF
four who preyed on shopkeepers
One of Johnson's henchmen,
James Cunningham, 19, colored,
Of the 500. block of Alexandria
place NE, received a 16 to 48-
year sentence.
Gets Consecutive Terms.
johnson actually was given 16
to 48 years by Judge Tamm.
The sentences consisted of four
separate terms of to IL years
each, to run consecutively in
stead of concurrently as is the
usual practice.
Cunningham was likewise
given four to IL years in each of
three armed robbery cases.
However, young johnson and
Cunningham were previously
given 4 to IL year sentences last
Friday by Judge Henry Schwein-
haut for another holdup.
Judge Tamm decreed today
that the sentences imposed by
him shall not begin to run until
after the 4 to IL years imposed
by Judge Schweinhaut. This
brings the total for johnson to
20 to go years and for Cunning
ham to Is to 48 years.
A third co-defendant, Foster
Johnson, jr., 20, colored, of 1903
New Jersey avenue NV, drew 5
to Is years.
James Payne, 81, colored, of
SCOT B street Sc, the fourth
member, was not sentenced. He
is scheduled to appear in court
for sentencing next week.
Victims Of Quartet.
Among the victims of the
quartet were Hiram Clark, a
clerk in a grocery store at 80
T street NV; Henry Alpert of
401 v street NV: Samuel D.
Silverstone, 5119 v street Sc,
and Morris Kalstein of TIT
Forty-sixt street Sc, both
robbed at the same time. and
Joseph Kaplan, Of 6024 Eight
street NV.
In the series of stickups. the
gang took a total of $1,043.
In another case, Judge Tamm
sentenced Ronald Jeter, 18, COL
ored. of no fixed address, to 8

guilty to two cases of armed
robbery. On March %, he took
500 from Robert L. Rush, and,
