Bill
Veto Unlikely
President Cool to
Several Features
BY ROBERT X. WALSH

The patched-up housing bill
that barely edged through Con-
lgress faces a less than hearty
welcome at the White House but
President Eisenhower probably
will sign it, legislative leaders
said today.
A House roll-call vote Of 1877 to
1877 for the housing compromise
completed Capitol action yester-
day on the measure with its con-
troversial provision for further
construction of low-rent public
housing units. House rejection
would have sent the matter back
Ito conference and might have
indefinitely delayed adjournment
of Congress.
The President repeatedly told
Republican leaders at a White
House meeting earlier yesterday
that he disliked several features
of the bill even though it re-
stored public housing authorize
ton, which he had sought and
which the House had eliminated
last week.
Veto Is Doubted
Some leaders on both sides
doubt today. however, that he
would veto the bill or call Con-
lgresS into special session next
fall to work out another measure.
The bill was approved by the
Senate last Monday night with
out discussion. 1t squeezed

debate which resulted in 1853
Democrats and "a Republicans
supporting it and 81 Democrats
and 13l Republicans opposing
lit.
Its main section would allow
$4,000 public housing units for
only one year, an additional
100, 900 units in the military
housing program and a new $500
million outlay for slum clearance.
The 45.O00-unit public hous-
ing authorization does not in
clude present requirements that
such construction be tied In with
SUM clearance and other urban
development programs. This
omission was vigorously pro-
tested by many House Republic
cans yesterday. 1t also was at
tackled by Housing Administra-
tor Albert M. Cole, in a statement
urging Congress to pass a bill

Presidents original recommended

1t was for the expiring first
session Of the saith Congress as
ever. That is to say the Senate
had the last word, but the House
had all the fun.
Senator Morse, Democrat OF
Oregon, was, strictly speaking,
end man. His two-hour speech
on schoolhouse construction was
the last Of a long day. The
House. on the other hand and
as Is customary on these occa-
sions. was full Of end men Of
minstrel show variety.
The House, in its last hours,
became q home. full Of song and
story. 1t was like amateur night
in a large family. No one had
to be coaxed, either. Politicians
are VIGOROUSLY susceptible to the
lure Of the microphone under
any circumstances and anyone
with any talent, large or small,
last night sprang to front and
center the minute his name was
called.
Late Starting
The only complaint was
that the Capitol vaudeville
was a little late getting under
way. Old-timers, who had been
asking each other for the last
four days when will they ad-
journ?" changed their query to
a plaintive When will they
start?" The transit bill was
shutting back and forth, but not
a voice was raised.
Finally, at 9:45, Representa-.
tive Priest, Democrat OF Tennes-
see. stepped up to a group mill
ing aimlessly In the well, flung
his arms purposefully around the
two nearest him, and raised his
fine tenor in Let the Rest of the

was bipartisan, and it was good.

If the Presidents heart attack

The isolation of other can

are admitted, no doubts are
allowed.
The gospel as expounded by

that the President, if he re-

being beamed at the Eisen-

public.
Hall argued to reporters
that the President could cam
paign exclusively by television
and so avoid the rigors of the
old type Of personal campaign.
A few minutes later he was
saying that there was no sub
stitute for the old-fashioned
shoe leather politicking in the
