BY the Associated Press

The Senate met an hour and
a half earlier than usual today

stripped-down SIG billion hous-
ing bill.
The lawmakers stayed in ses-

finally adopting q compromise
by Senator Bricker. Re-
publican Of Ohio. which settled
most of the major arguments in
volving provisions Of the bill.
But enough other amendments
were pending to cause Senate
leaders to decide to put over the
final vote until today.
The Bricker compromise, which
was approved by Democratic
leaders. cut $1.25 billion from the
$2.8 billion which the Senate
Banking Committee had voted to
authorize for various housing
programs.
Byrd Hits High Figure
It was adopted. 67-11. on q
strong bipartisan vote. but it did
not satisfy either the about
budget cutters or the advocates
Of more costly Government hous-
ing programs.
Senator Byrd, Democrat OF
Virginia. declared that the total
in the bill still was $3.50 million
above President Eisenhower's
budget requests for housing. He
said this more than wiped out all

so far from appropriations bills

This. was disputed by Senators

q down-to-the-wire proposition,
with the outcome decided in the
final days Of Congress this year,
the health insurance measure
appears destined to be shunted
aside.
The fact is that Congress in
one year would not. approve
both a pay raise and a health
insurance program. due to cost
involved.
Therefore, Federal employe
leaders are concentrating their
efforts on behalf of the pay
raise legislation, feeling that
this Is more. vital than health
insurance. They feel that health
Insurance benefits can always
be obtained next year.
In aiming for Federal pay
boosts at the expense this veal
of health insurance. Government
employe leaders are taking q
calculated risk.
Should Federal pay raises fall
Through. then Governm e n
workers will be left with nothing
in the way Of major new benefits
this year. But this is the risk
that Government union leaders
are willing to take.
