HouseFightDue
On Housing Bill
Rejection of Senate
Figures Expected
BY ]. A. O'LEARY

The 1856 housing bill is on its
way to the House today. where a
fight is in prospect over the lib
eral low-rent public housing pro-
gram the Senate approved yes
terday.
Senate Republicans failed. Al
to 38, to reduce the authorized
number of public housing units
from $4,000 to $4,000 year for
the next two years.
But public housing always has
faced an uphill road in the
House, and this year is not ex-
pected to be any different.
If the House goes along with
the lower administration figures,
the end result probably will be
a compromise in conference.
Interest Plan Defeated
The Republicans also failed by
a one-vote margin al to 40) to
raise the interest rate on Gov
eminent loans for housing prof.
ects on college campuses. They
argued that the lower interest
rate discourages private investors
from cooperating on college
projects and will tend to put the
whole job on the Government.
The vote on the interest rate
was so close both parties re.
sorted to parliamentary delaying
tactics to give abSentees time to-
reach the chamber. On the first
roll call the Republicans we're
ahead by one vote. But the Dem
ocratS we're more successful in
rounding up absentees and fin
ally came out on top. The device
used to gain time for Senators
who were en- route to the cham
Der was to have members arise
one by one and ask the chair how
they were recorded.
Helps Older Persons
Highlights of the bill are:
/. A new section would help
elderly persons to obtain better
housing, both through more lib
eral FILA mortgage insurance
and by making it easier for them
to get in rental housing projects.
Authorizes a special program of
$4,000 public housing units an
nually for five years for elderly
persons in addition to the regu-
lar public housing units.
2. Increases to SO billion the
authorization for FILA insured
mortgages for the coming year.
3. Extends FILA home-repair
loans for three years. with the

Says U. S. Must Help
In a foreign policy address de-
livered in connection with Baylor
University commencement exer-
cises, Mr.. Eisenhower hammered
at the idea of need for free world
cooperation in the struggle
against communism-and at the
idea of need for the United
States to play a leading role in
providing help.
In what seemed to be a plea
for congressional enactment of
the administrations $4,908, 000,-

President spoke out against be-
ing penny wise" in that field.

Army Payoff
Charge Denied
ByCap Maker
Senate Probers
Order Witness to
Produce Records
BY CECIL HOLLAND

A New York military cap
maker today branded as "a lie''
sworn testimony that he received
kickbacks allegedly to "pay I'M
der the table" to Government
personnel but refused to produce
records to support his story.
The manufacturer. Sol. O.
Schlesinger of Lawrence, N. Y,
pleaded his constitutional priv
ilege under the Fifth Amend
ment against producing the rec
ords and said they might tend
to incriminate him. He added
that he was under an income tax
investigation.
Mr.. SchleSinger was a witness
before the Senate Investigating
subcommittee which received
testimony Wednesday that he
had been given $27,745 in kick
backs on two 1850 contracts
and said the money was to &C
to Government personnel.
Records Are Ordered
Chairman Mcclellan peremp-
torily ordered Mr.. Schlesingel
to produce his records at a hear
ing next Tuesday. The Senator
issued the direct order after the
witness admitted that he had
not brought any records ir
answer to a subcommittee SUBJ
poena.
Mr.. Schlesinger commended
that the $27,745 he received by
six checks from the J. Mackey
Shoe Co., was for returned
damaged merchandise" The
Mackey firm supplied visors anc
chin straps for Air Force cap:
being made by the Ideal Uni
form Cap Co. owned by Mr.
Schlesinger.
Mr.. Schlesinger said, however
he had no specific records tt
show the amount of returned
damaged goods because he haC
turned over the receipts to Mis-
Jane Mackey of the shoe firm
after he had received credit.
At a hearing Wednesday Mis-
Mackey said Mr.. Schlesinger de-
manded the kickbacks and tolC
her the money was to be useC

Trading Visits

The administration today APP
parently has embarked on a
course of action which could
lead to an exchange of Russian
and American official visits on
the highest level.
The word apparent" is neces-
sary, because the maneuvering
over invitations was obscured by
denials and deliberate confirma-
tory hints yesterday in the White
House. PeDtagon and State De-
partment. Curiously enough. the
most solid news of the exchange
came from the usually silent
Soviet Embassy.
This much was clear today:
Both the Soviet Union and the
Government of the United States
want to try out a small-scale
exchange of official visitors.
But further than that. Krem-
lin leaders Bulganin and Khru-
shchev have limited they would
like to visit this country them
selves. President Eisenhower
has indicated he would like to
see his old World War II friend
and correspondent, Soviet Mar
shall Zhukov. come over. And the
Joint Chiefs of Staff showed
yesterday they would like to
visit Russia.
If both nations are willing to
make lower-level exchanges at
this time, both obviously are
willing to consider the top-level
visits If all goes well with the
initial experiments.
Soviet Being PrOdded
The key action yesterday was
the indirect notification to Rus
STA that the Joint Chiefs of STAFF
would probably accept an lnvi-
tation to inspect the Soviet
armed forces--if such an invi-
tation is forthcoming.
The matter was handled in
such a way as to leave no doubt
that the Soviet government was
being prodded to bid the Ameri-
can military high command tc
visit Moscow and tour the coun-
try.
The unusual affair was ham

Defense Department. The State
Department remained-perhapS

tary Of Defense, repeatedly went

ton was a remark by Assistant
