Washington's most dangerous
hour was commemorated last
night by the Ladies of the Grand
Army of the Republic at Fort

It was the Goth anniversary
of the skirnish at that point.
where President Lincoln was

The speaker, son of one of the

audience of 200.
He was Mai. Gen. Albert

Housing Proposed

4
Key members Of the House
Banking Committee were re-
ported today to be considering a
compromise public housing pro-
gram only for families who lose
their homes in the razing Of
slunS.
A conference committee seek
ing to reconcile differences bee |
tween Senate and House versions |
of housing legislation was due
to turn to the controversial pub
lie housing question either today
or tomorrow.
President Eisenhower asked
Congress for authority to start
$4,000 new public housing units
a year for the next four years.
The House refused to grant any
new public housing authority.
but the Senate voted to give
Gen. Eisenhower what he
wanted.
Representative Wolcott. Re-
publican, of Michigan, chairman
of the House Banking Commit
tee, said he might go along with
a public housing program with
restrictions" He declined to
spell these out.
Restrictions Proposed.
Other persons close to the Con-.
ference Committee said public
housing opponents may offer to
back a one-year continuation OF
the programprovided new units
are restricted to families dis
possessed by slum clearance
operations.
Senate advocates of public
housing said this kind of re-
striction would cut the. heart out
Of the program.
Another point of difference is
a Senate provision designed to
guard against the possibility of
future ''windfall'' profits by
builders operating with Govern
ment-inSured loans.
Chairman Capehart of the
Senate Banking Committee now
investigating alleged scandals in
housing loan insurance programs
has estimated that apartment
house builders and promoters
reaped a total of roughly $500
million in such swollen profits.
Mr.. Wolcott said he would in

Strictions.

The Senate Banking Commit
tee took testimony yesterday
from Fred C. Trump, a New
York builder, who said apart
ments would not have beer
built under an expired postwar
loan insurance program If the
law had set rigid limits on loans
approved by the Federal Hous-
ing Administration.
Mr.. Trump is chief owner oil
the Beach Haven Apartment

sponsors of the project got loan:
$3,5 million above construction

Jan. 81 Final Date
For 1858 Crop Loans

JANUARY 81 IS the final date
for securing loans and purchase
agreement on 1858 crops, but farm
ers are advised not to wait until
that last day to request support.
The mechanics of making support
available, particularly in the case
of farm-stored commodities offered
for loan, require some time. There
fore it is suggested that producers
who intend to get loans on farm
stored grain make their applications
not later than January Is. This
will allow the committee and office
personnel time necessary to inspect
the collateral and complete papers.
Although inspections are not re-
quired on warehouse-stored COM
modities or on commodities offered
for purchase agreement, it does take
some time to complete the papers
and producers, therefore, should re-
quest support as far as possible in
advance of the January 81 deadline.

Growers Can Still File
For 1854 AC Program

ALTHOUGH DEC. 81 marked the
close of the initial signup period for
the 1854 Agricultural Conservation
Program, farmers and ranchers may
still file requests to participate in this
years program. This is one if the
major changes in the current AC
Program.
Producers may continue through
out the program year to request
Federal cost-sharing on necessary
soil and water conservation projects
whereas under previous programs,
producers who didn't request cost
sharing by a certain date, weren't
eligible for assistance during the
program year.
Funds can be committed on ap-
proved practices only at the begin
ming of budget period announced
by the County ASC committee.
Therefore requests for Federal cost
sharing will ordinarily be held until
announcement of new budget
period when approval and commit
ment of funds will be made stimuli
taneously. In those instances where
a producer must have approval of a
practice before new budget period
is announced, approval can be given
but funds will not be committed
until the next budget period is set.
Federal cost-sharing will be available
only on conservation practices APP

proved by the ASC committee be-
fore work begins.
This change in the method of re-
questing cost-sharing is designed to
make the AC Program more flexible
in operation and more adaptable to
the needs of producers. By being per-
mitted to file requests throughout
the year, operators will be better
able to adjust their conservation
work to fit in with their farming
operations.
