Democrats Fear
Civil Rights Clash
In Housing Debate
By the Associoted Press

Democratic strategists in the
Senate were reported searching
for some way to avoid a civil
rights fight when debate starts
on President Eisenhower's hous-
ing program this week.
Fully mindful Of their unusual
party harmony in the present
session, Democratic leaders were
passing up no possible compro-
misses that might pacify south
erners angered by a recent Su-
preme Court decision. That deci-
sion, in effect, rejected an appeal
in behalf of racial segregation
in public housing projects.
At least one southerner said he
would vote against an amend
ment by Senator Maybank,
Democrat of South Carolina to
strip all public housing authority
from the Senate Banking Com
mittee bill. Senator Ellender,
Democrat of Louisiana. an au-
thor of the 19A9 law which blue
printed a vast public housing
program, said in an interview:
I'm a strong advocate OF
public housing. I'm going to
vote for public housing in this
bill and against the amend
ment."
But Senator Ellender said the
high court ruling. which refused
to review a lower court decision
banning segregation in a San
Francisco public housing prof.
ect, would undoubtedly affect
the thinking of those who are
lukewarm about public housing. "
Most other Southerners said
privately they would vote for
the Maybank amendment even
though, they said, the need for
low-cost public housing was
greatest in the South.
The Senate bill. approved
unanimously by the Banking
Committee except for the public
housing issue, is scheduled for
floor debate starting Thursday.
A final vote is not likely until
the following week.
