Senate May Settle
Public Housing Fate
On Floor Next Week
By ]. A. OIeoy

The way has been paved for q
major battle over the 1854 hous-
ing bill next week.
Senator Maybank. Democrat,
Of South Carolina insured the
fireworks when he offered an
amendment late yesterday to put
a stop to the public housing pro-
gram, which is included in the
present Senate measure.
Senator Maybank said he Of
fered the amendment because Of
the Supreme Courts refusal to
review a California decision ban.
ming segregation in housing prof.
ectS.
The South Carolina lawmaker
contends that this deprives cities,
which originates the public hous-
ing projects. Of the right to de-
eide whether they want inte-
grated or segregated projects.
Local Control Fight.
He insisted his amendment is
fight for local control and ar
gued that If cities can be de-
prived Of discretion on segrega-
ton, they could also have their
local building requirements over
ridden.
II the Maybank amendment is
adopted in the Senate it will
mean the end Of public housing
after next year because the
House has already voted to kill
the program.
But Senator Maybank pre-
dicted that even if the Senate
votes to continue public housing
the position of the House will be
sustained in conference.
Senator Douglas. Democrat, of
Illinois served notice yesterday
that supporters of public hous-
ing will make a strong fight to
defeat the Maybank amendment.
The Democrats will be divided on
the issue and the outcome is
likely to depend on how a major
ity Of Republicans line up.
20. p. Opposition.
Some Republicans have always
opposed public housing on eco
nomic grounds.
There are more than 10000
units under contract and the
Maybank amendment would not
interfere with starting these
projects. but no more could be
planned under the amendment.

Subpoena Modified.
At this point Senator McCar-
thy. prompted by Chairman
Mundt announced that he would
accept a modified subpoena
which provided that files con-
tanning material contributed by
Pvt. Schine would be submitted
with the names Of secret in
formants withheld. And shortly
thereafter, at the insistence of
the Democratic members, Sena-
tor Mundt agreed that actually
all committeeman have q right to
see ali documents in the files
anyway, and therefore the sub
poena would be suspended by
mutual agreement, and the files
would be presented with the
names Of informants deleted. Mr..
Cohn and his staff were accord
mgly instructed to place the files
before the subcommittee when
it meets again Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Cohn agreed to do so.
The decision. however, did not
mollify Senator Symington, who
announced that he would con-
suit with Senator Mcclellan that
"if the members Of this commit
tee cannot see the records Of
this committee, we will take that
to the Senate floor and see
what the Seante thinks about
this"
Later he told reporters he
would consult with Senator Nc
Clellan. who was absent yester-
day, and see whether they should
pursue the matter in the Senate. \
Mccarthy Asks Subpoena.
In another phase of his run
ming battle with the Army, Sen
ator Mccarthy also requested a
subpoena be served at yester-
days session-on Army Secre-
tary Stevens, requiring him to
furnish all files on the Army's
charges concerning treatment of
Pvt. Schine, the Fl. Monmouth
case, the case of Maj. Irving
Peress, and the proposed re-
moval of the Ft. Monmouth COM
mander. Mai. Gen. Kirke B.
Lawton.
Senator Mundt told reporters
he would sign the subpoena and
forward it to Mr.. Stevens, in line
with the subcommittee policy Of
permitting both sides to sub
poena documents they consider
necessary to their cases.
Mr.. Cohn yesterday denied
that he and other subcommittee
staff members had ever sought
to have Pvt. Schine excused from
military duty except on evenings
and week ends when he was
needed to help on committee
business.
Under sharp cross-examina-
ton by Mr.. Jenkins. he said Pvt.
Schine had interviewed prob
ably hundreds Of witnesses in
connections with the investiga-
tions. But, Mr.. Cohn said. he
doubted that Pvt. Schine had
made many memoranda Of his
findings.
And he sharply denied under
questioning by Mr.. Jenkins that
Pvt. Schine had been in Florida
over Christmas and New Years
when he was absent from the
draftee training camp at Fort
Dix, N. j. Mr.. Cohn said Pvt.
Schine was in New York working
