BY The Assosiesed Press

LONDON. July 21.Lord
Beaverbrook. Canadian-born
British newspaper magnate last
night relinquished control Of his
mammoth circulation Daily Ex-
press group.
The Daily Express Office said
he had turned over a large block
Of shares to the Beaverhrook

The papers have, therefore,
passed out of his control" the
statement said.
Lord Beaverbrook is rs but
vigorous. Only last May, he
changed the name of his group
from Daily Express Newspapers
to Beaverbrook Newspapers.
Lord Beaverbrook. Prime Min
lister Churchill's Minister of Air

War II, bought the Daily Express
as a bankrupt news sheet in
1915. He built 1t up over the
years to its present position as
Britain's second largest selling
daily, with a circulation of over
4 million.
Besides the Daily Express, his
group controlled the Sunday Ex-
press, the London Evening
Standard and the Glasgow

All follow an independent, pro-
empire line, generally favorable
to the Conservative Churchill

Eisenhower Predicts
Congress viii Pass
Most Of His Program
By Gould Lincoln

President Eisenhower predicted
| today that major portions of his
legislative program would be en-
acted before Congress concludes
its present session. But he ad-
mitted that certain features in
which he is interested will not
get through.
The President was asked at
his news conference whether
Senator Knowland's determine
ton to sidetrack or in some way
defeat the Flanders resolution
asking censure for Senator Nc
earthly represented the White
House attitude.
Gen. EiSenhower'S reply was
that no one had even asked him
about the Flanders resolution
that he had taken no stand on it.
Senator Knowland. Senate Re-
publican leader, has commended
that a full dress Senate debate on
the Flanders resolution would in
terfere with the Eisenhower legis-
lative program. The California
legislator said it would tie the
Senate up for five or six days at
least. at time when Congress
is seeking to adjourn.
The President was asked, too,
whether he expected to call a
special session of Congress, or of
the Senate alone. If international
affairs demand it. He said he
could not foresee a special ses-
sion at this time. Before they
leave Washington, however, the
President said. he would talk
with Senate and House leaders
about pending problems and
steps to take II legislative action
is needed.
The Chief Executive, who
often has urged enactment of
dynamic and progressive pro-
gram as essential to the Repub-
lican cause in the coming con-
greSSional campaign, said that
a few weeks ago he saw many
predictions in the newspapers

1t to gill million. The House
voted 123 to Al to bring the to-
tai to $50 million.
3. Restored 500 .499 for q

Eisenhower Wants
Public Housing Until
Builders Can Do Job

President Eisenhower said to-
day that until private enterprise
can provide adequate housing
for the American people he
wants authority to build enough
public housing to care for fam
lilies who need it.
The President told his weekly
news conference that practically
all his recommendations in the
housing field have been enacted
by Congress, although the House
yesterday limited to $4,000 the
number of new public housing
units which may be built by the
Government. The administra-
ton had asked for a four-year,
100000 unit program.
The President said public
housing has always been a very
controversial feature. His theory,
he said, has been that private
enterprise could probably do the
job better than Government in
the long run. but that while the
details were being worked out,
there are still people living in
bad houses.
Vote Is $3.50.
The House voted, 358 to 80,
late yesterday for the measure
permitting construction of IS. 900
additional public housing units
during the current fiscal year.
House Democrats, Joined by
so Republicans including Major
ity Leader Halleck, moved to re-
turn the bill to Senate House
conference with instructions to
include the Presidents proposal.
This move lost, 234 to 1856.
Accord Required 2 Weeks.
The compromise version was
worked out last Saturday after
two weeks of daily sessions by
Senate-House conferees. AS
originally passed by the House
the bill contained no provision
for public housing. The Senate
inserted the Eisenhower pro-
posal. The conferees set a 35,-
900 ceiling but limited the pro-
gram to one year and also re-
stricted occupancy to families
forced to vacate houses torn
down in slum clearance projects.
Senate leaders indicated they
would call up the House-ap-
proved conference bill tomorrow
but might be able to sandwich
it in late today in the debate on
the atomic energy act revision
bill. Conference reports are
privileged bills that can be con-
sidered at any time. Senate
Majority Leader Knowland has
predicted approval but consider
able debate is expected. Senator
Ives, New York Republican, who
was on the conference commit
tee. refused to sign the report.
He said he might support a
move. if made in the Senate. to
return the bill to conference.
The bill includes numerous
provisions and revisions besides
the section dealing with low-cost
public housing projects. The pub
lie housing issue was the only
one that aroused debate in the
House yesterday.

Supplemental Funds Measure
Awaits Further House. Action

Having reversed It's Appropri-
atoms Committee by restoring
$685. million to 4 $1.2 billion sup
Elemental supply bill. the House
took time out for other legisla-
ton today. But it remained in
the mood to put back additional
millions requested by the White
House but disapproved by the
committee.
Because Of scheduled consider
alton of the postal pay and
rate raise bills there was uncer-
tainty whether the House would
return to the supplementary APP
preparation measure before to-
morrow.
Among proposed amendments
awaiting action the most irnpor-
tant would provide approx
mately $35 million Gen. Eisen-
hover requested for grants to
States for hospital construction.
The committee turned down the
entire amount but recommended
81 million for surveys Of needs.
Another amendment to be Of
fered when the House resumes
action on the bill would give
$165, 900 to the Children's Bureau
for work on juvenile delinquency.
The committee struck out that
item.
The Eisenhower requests orig
inally totaled $1.959.958.267 in
additional funds for 10 Federal
agencies and programs. The al
lotments would supplement APP
preparations In the regular de-
partmental money bills voted
earlier for the fiscal year that
began July /.
Amendments adopted yester-
day were subject to possible re-
versal on final voting on the bill
itself. but this was regarded as
unlikely. They would:
/. Restore $22 million which
the committee had disapproved
for the Federal-aid airport pro-
gram. The vote was 157 to 81.
2. Restore $71.5 million for
construction of four passenger
cargo ships and 10 tankers. Gen.
Eisenhower had requested 1926
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-07-21

that his program was on the
rocks. 1t was said. he recalled,
that outside Of passing the ap-
preparation bills, Congress would
adjourn without accomplishment.
What has happened in recent
days. Gen. Eisenhower said, gave
the gloomy prophets the lie.
The President added that ac-
complishments were sometimes
lost sight Of in the public in
terest over a fight. There had
been contests In the Senate and
House, he said. which took the
spotlight. But he said the pro-
gram was coming along in good
shape.

Eisenhower Denies
Administration Seeks
10 Destroy The IVA
BY Allen Drury

President Eisenhower denied
today that there is any attempt
being made by the administra-
ton to destroy the Tennessee
Valley Authority.
He said he is prepared to
support the IVA with all the
strength he has. and anyone
who says there is any attempt to
destroy the agency is in error,
to put it as mildly as he knows
how.
The President at his weekly
news conference defended re-
cent directive requiring the
Atomic Energy Commission to
contract for private power in
the Tennessee Valley area to be
furnished to IVA customers in
place OF IVA power needed for
atomic plants.
The President held out the
possibility that the order might
conceivably be changed, because,
he said, there are always details
in the proposals he makes which
have to be worked out. If he
can be shown there is a better
way of doing 1t, he said, he is
perfectly willing to do so. He
said his endeavor right now is
to find out the facts in the whole
situation.
Informed by a reporter that
the charge has been made in
Senate debate that the President
has no authority to order such
a power contract. Gen. Eisen-
hover replied that there are oc-
casions when someone has to
take the authority and respon-
sibility.
He said he must depend on
the Attorney General and his
staff for legal advice, but that
he regal DIS the Atomic Energy
Commission as one of the agen-
cies for which he is personally
responsible. He said it is not like
an independent agency such as
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. but is something he is
impelled to take charge Of.
