the Government.
George P. Larrick. commits
sioner of Food and Drugs, dis

Bill
Over Hurdle
In House
By the Associated Press

The House Banking Commit
tee today recommended a
81 1865 100000 housing program
which proponents said would
encourage the building and
buying of homes.
The committee action came
right on the heels of a report
from the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration which showed an
unexpected drop in May in the
number of new homes started
with Federal financing.
Starts under FILA inspection
numbered 22,600 in May, down
5 per cent from April in a
reversal of the normal move
ment for the month.
There was nothing to indi-
cate the committee action was
directly related to the new FILA
report, however.
The vote favoring the over
all housing measure was 1872,
with one member abstaining.
Committee sources said all
is Democrats present and
three Republicans Endorsed the
bill. Both negative votes and
the abstention we're Republi-
can.
Loans and grants provided in
the legislation we're in many
respects similar to those in the

PARIS, June IS (AP).-For-
eign Minister Maurice Couve de
Murville says a change must be
wrought in diplomacy before
future summit conferences can
be effective.
THE richness of invective,
the intemperance of discourse.
the resort to personalities and
persistence in exaggeration
have nothing to do with the
normal conduct of affairs be-
tween states" he said yester-
day in a post-summit report to
the National Assembly.
Without naming Soviet Pre-
mier KhruShchev, Mr.. Couve de
Murville said:
THE spectacular aspect of
the crisis is the deterioration of
Russian American relations
a after the violent attacks
launched on the Soviet side
against the United States,
against their Government and
against their President, follow
ing the unhappy incident of
the U-2."
Mr.. Couve de Murville said
France must not and cannot
remain indifferent or passive
to the Soviet attacks on the
United States.
Western unity is today
more necessary and more firm
than ever" he said.
The Foreign Minister also
called for an end to negotia-
tions in the full glare of pub
licity.
Meetings, and above all
grand conferences, are not in
themselves a solution" he
said. Public debates impede
agreement. Agreements arc
made of compromise and con-
Sequently reciprocal conces-
sions. How can a government
agree to concessions in the
public place?"
Mr.. Couve de Murville said
that, despite the May 16 blow
up, France will be ready tc
resume the summit talks, pro-
vided the Russians show a
willingness to talk in good
faith and basic liberties are
not sacrificed.
