British American peace pro-
posals, following the meeting
between President Kennedy and
Russian Foreign Minister Gro
myko, had a profound effect
on the mood If not the form
that the SEATO meeting has
followed.
Quite apparently, these two
events put a new and far more
hopeful light on the situation.
Though it was still essential
for SEATO to go through with
its firm resolution to take
whatever action may be ap-
propriate under the circum-
stances" the sense Of urgency
in taking this action has now
largely disappeared. Now there
is a very general assumption
that the Russians have made
1t clear that they are prepared
to accept the idea of a cease
fire in Laos and an ultimate
settlement by negotiation.
If this is true and Mr.. Ken
nedy wins his gamble there will
be general applause for the
boldness of the new adminiStra-
ton and its willingness to take
risks when vital American in
terestS are involved. If he
should lose, however-and the
possibility still can't be ruled
out-the consequences of what

The House late today soundly
defeated, 242-139, a $274 million
Republican substitute for the
Democratic 1894 million de-
pressed areas bill.
It then moved toward q final
vote and expected passage of
the Democratic measure. in
dorsed by the Kennedy admin
istration, to help industrial and
rural areas afflicted by chronic
unemployment and acute busi-
ness depression.
Size Of Vote Surprises
The size Of the standing vote
against the Republican bill was
surprising, although Democrat
ic leaders earlier today showed
increased confidence that they
would be able to beat it. Al
though the voting was unre-
corded, no Democratic member
was seen joining the Repubh-
cans. On the other hand. at
least a dozen Republicans,
mainly from industrial areas in
the East. voted against the
milder Republican bill.
Unlike the combination that
defeated the Kennedy admins
tration's minimum wage rec
concentrations last week. the
majority today included most
Southern Democrats, as well as
those from other sections Of
the country.
Some Republicans advocating
the substitute introduced by
Representative Widnall, Re-
publican of New Jersey, de-
nounced the Democratic bill as
IAN administrative monstroS-
ity" and a gigantic boondog-

Mr.. Mitchell, who for several
days has been demanding that
Kansas be given a centennial

ratifying State, Immediately
went into action.
Bells were sounded, and loud
speaker announcements made
throughout the Statehouse re-

hold the military initiative by
a threat of American interven-
ton in the Laotian war. The
meeting of the SEATO Council
which ended here today had
only one purpose: To put the
stamp of collective action on
the basic decision made in the
White House.
The decision to intervene in
Laos, if necessary. was certain
ly no bluff. At the opening OF
the meeting here Monday, II
seemed it would be almost
irrevocable. Reporters arriving
in Bangkok were given to un-
derstand with an unusual
urgency that acton would fol-
low the meeting almost i'm
mediately, provided. of course,
that a favorable reply had not
been received from the Rus
slams in the meantime.
Deal Indicated
Quite clearly, a crucial deal
had been made which insured
the near unanimity Of the
SEATO countries. In return
for American backing of the
British peace proposals-about
whose provisions some Ameri-
cans still have serious doubts
the British agreed to back a
tough SEATO line. When the
French, though obviously op.
posed to the idea of military
Intervention, went along with
the majority, the object o.
the exercise was assured. Tht
Russians were confronted with
an either/or proposition whicl
left them almost no room fol

Senate Housing Subcommittee,
introduced the bill in the Sen
ate and said his committee will
hold hearings early in April.
He predicted that the Senate
would approve the bill by
May /.
Most of the items were spelled
out in Mr.. Kennedy's special
housing message to Congress
on March 8. However, only a
vague hint was given then Of
the far-reaching character Of
the improvement loan proposal.
8 Pct. Interest Rate
The 25-year loan would
carry a maximum interest rate
of 6 per cent and could total
up to $4,000 per family living
unit. BY contrast. present i'm
provement loans insured by the
Federal Housing Administration
run for only five years, carry
a rate of 9.4 per cent and are
subject to a $500 ceiling.
The 9.4 per cent interest on
regular home improvement
loans represents the effective
rate during the life of a s3,50O
loan. On some smalDr loans
the rate goes as high as 81
per cent.
The loans are made on a dis
count basis. For example, II
you want $1,000 for five years
you repay $3.50 in equa
monthly installments but never
see the extra $3.50.
Improvement funds could be
advanced in the form of first
or second mortgages or Other
types of loans and would be
available in all areas. Some
advantages would be granted
to projects IN urban renewa
sections, although basic terms
would be the same everywhere

Congress approves, the pro-
gram will become the major
