Senator Kefauver, Democrat of
Tennessee. the only member of

the most outspoken of all.
He said the Talbot investiga-
tion now presents a very seri-
GUS and ugly picture. Mr.. Tai

The idea, he added, was to get
rid of all interest in corporations

Bitter Housing Bill Fight

journment in a few days. House
Republican Leader Martin said
this morning that Congress prob
ably would quit Monday night.
There was still an outside pos
sibility that adjournment could
come tomorrow night as origi-
nally hoped.
The Senate, meanwhile, hoped
TO catch up on legislative odds
and ends including an appropri-
alton bill for congressional ex-
Ipenses and pay of its employees.
Faster Pace Seen
House action on the hous-
ing bill would open the par
liamentary path for consid-
erably faster disposition Of a
vast variety of other pending
measures. Among those already
cleared by the Rules Committee
are bills to extend the Defense
Production Act and provide
Federal funds to States for polio
vaccination programs. Another
would amend the Sugar Act by
readjusting marketing quotas on
cane and beet sugar and giving
domestic producers a larger
quota share than Cuba has. !
On top of this, the House was
bombarded with requests from
several quarters to reconsider
its verwhe I'm ing vote last
Wednesday in killing the multi
million dollar hig hway bill
Chances of such reconsideration
much less of a reversal this
year, seemed remote.
On the heels of a plea yester-
day by President Eisenhower
that the House try again to
pass a critically needed road
building program at this time,
Mr.. Martin declared the Presi-
dent would be on solid ground
if he called Congress back into
special session this fall in the
event we adjourned without 9
bill now.
Mr.. Martin said today, how.
ever, he saw no point in trying
to revive the highway issue ir
the House at this time.
Special Session Urged
Representative Mack. Repub-
lican of Washington, urged the
President to call a special session
for that purpose not later than
November /. Representative
Scudder, Republican Of Califor-
mia, introduced a House bill
which he said offered a possible
ground for compromise before
adjournment. His measure would
include. in modified form, both
disputed financing features rec
commended by the administra-
Ition and by the House Demo-
cratic leadership. These are a
bond issue arrangement and in
creased taxes to help pay for a
I10-year building program. Mr.
Scudders bill would make the
tax increases less than the
democrats had suggested.

struggled today with one Of the
Ibitterest issues of the entire
Isession-the fate of low-rent
public housing projects.
This Democratic sponsored
measure containing a public
housing feature requested by
President Eisenhower was vigor-
ously fought by many Repub-
Ilicans and some Democrats who
want to strike out all authority
for further public housing con-
struction.
The lines were so closely drawn
that neither side ventured a pre-
diction on the expected show
down vote late this afternoon on
the key section providing for
l35 900 public housing units a
year for two years. The overall
measure, however, apparently
was in no danger because it is re-
igarded as must" legislation for
continued operation of the Fed
Ieral Housing administrators ac-
tivities and authority to insure
home loans.
Just Shooting"
Shortly before the debate be-
gan, reporters asked Speaker
Rayburn whether leaders were
shooting for adjournment tomor-

/ The odds on passage of some
kind of transit strike legislation

Commissioners tailored a new bill

tary REIMBURSEMENT of franchise

meeting.

The President added. accord
ing to Mr.. Hagerty, that if this
lis done he believed the Repub-
Ilican Party would "stay here
forever" because it would be
able to select capable candidates
dedicated to one purpose-the
best interests Of the United

Apparently it was this part of
Mr.. Eisenhower's remarks which
most encouraged the hope of
many of his hearers that he
would seek a second term.

Mr.. Hagerty told reporters that
by predicting the G. o. P. could

dent meant that it could retain
control of the national admins

that Geneva at least started a

Associated Press Stan Writer

Senator George. Democrat. of
Georgia. said yesterday the
United States must not give up
European airbases or reduce its
military strength there despite
any bold move" by Russia to
erect a neutral zone between
East and West.
The chairman Of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
tcld newsmen there are mo
present circumstances under
which we can afford to give up
our air bases or decrease our
forces in Europe"
Replying to critics who have
said Russia's prime objective at
any top level. Big Four confer
ence would be to dissipate Amer
ican military strength in Europe,
Senator George said:
II don't think we can give up
anything at this time or rest on
our oars in any way. We can't
let our guard down now. No
proposal Russia nakes should
affect our military efforts until
we have had time to see some
real change in the world situ-
alton"
Knowland Expects Program
Senator Knowland of Califor-
mia, the Republican leader, has
contended that the Soviets are
aiming at bringing about with
drawal Of American troops from
the continent. He has predicted
attempts to "neutralize" a belt
of countries across Europe from
Yugoslavia to Scandinavia.
Senator George, first in this
country to call for a Summit
conference between President
Eisenhower and the heads OF
Britain, France and Russia, said
he has no doubt the Russians
will come forward with "a very
bold program" at such a meet
Ing.
They will probably have a
new disarmament proposal" he
said. They are likely to suggest
the creation Of a neutral zone
between East and West.
"They may even propose that
the United States, Britain and
France on one side guarantee
the neutrality Of a dividing zone
while they guarantee it on the
other. We should be prepared
for some unusually bold pro-
posals from them"
Senator George said he

doesn't believe these proposals
need be disturbing" to the
West. But he conceded that any
move toward naturalization
might appeal to some factions
in Western Germany and would
be likely to affect East German
sentiment greatly.
In this connection. he ap-
plauded efforts of the Bonn gov
ernment to rush rearmament
bills through the West German
parliament before the contem-
plated summit conference this
summer.
Senator George said it was his
understanding the Adenauer
government wants to get re-
armament moving speedily. He
said he was informed that about
$1.6 billion in American mill
tary supplies would be made
available to the West Germans
as they need them.
President Eisenhower said
last Wednesday that the idea of
neutral bloc appeared to have
developed since the Austrian
peace treaty was signed. He
noted, however. that under the
treaty Austria could rearm, say
ing that kind of neutrality was
far different from a military
vacuum.
Senator George said that while
he does not favor a neutralized
zone, West Germany could "re-
arm to the hilt" and far in ex-
cess of it's NATO quots under the
same kind of neutrality now

It is well known that such IA

CThe West objected to Vien-
ma because it would still be
an occupied city in July or
August. the most likely time
of the conference. Mr.. Dulles
suggested Lausanne in prefer
ence to Geneva, because Gen.
eva was the site of the Indo-
china conference last year.
This conference was regarded
by many as a diplomatic de-
feat for the West. In the past
week Stockholm has emerged
as possible Western choice
for the site.)
Pravda said also, they have
declared that the conference
must not last more than two or
three days although it is clear

alton of any urgent international
problems cannot be completed in
such a short time"
president Eisenhower told
a news conference on May II.
while the holding of a Big
-Four conference was still in
the early discussion stage, that
he thought a meeting of the
heads of state should take no
more than about three days.
The West has asked that the
four foreign ministers first
meet to outline the field of
negotiation and that the heads
Of state hold brief session
Immediately thereafter to seek
areas which might yield profit

s Pravda said Mr.. Eisenhower

their television report.
1t added that they had ad-
vanced absurd proposals regard
ing the contents of the negotia-
tions between the heads of the
great powers which were di-
rected clearly at the Illustration
Of such negotiations"
"The United States leaders,
trying to camouflage the failure
OF (their policy of positions of
strength. tried to convince their
audience, deprived of truthful
information. that the signing of
the Austrian treaty was a VIC
tory for that policy" said
Pravda.

Dulles cited the signing of the
Austrian treaty and said the
Vests policies of strength and
firmness are beginning to pay
off," He said recent events may
have turned the tide of his

But he. cautioned that the
West should not set its hopes
too high.
