7 ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW. ROSEBUR&. OREGON FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1948 Housing Problem Splits Congress G. 0. P. Leaders WASHINGTON. May 6-(D The House Republican leadership split sharply today with Senator Tall in an angry row over hous ing. Chairman Wolcott of the Houso Banking Committee ' snapped a defiant "not interested" at the senate-passed stopgap bill to re vive the government's "Title 6" home loan insurance program SHOPPING THE TOWN with Bernice That half sunny day we had last Wednesday was too good to waste so shopping was in order. At GOLDSE'S BOOTERIE, 318 N. Jackson Irv Brunn was , putting some new men's sport shoes in the window. They were smooth looking EDGER r'TONS made by the famous Nunn-Bush. Two pair that caught my eye are on display in the front window one is a beige tie ghillie with a red lug sole the other a moccasin toe oxford. If any of the men in your family are in the market for sport shoes steer them to Goldie's Boorerie. Across the street and a few steps north I spied some glass ware in the window of LES TER'S that started me think ing of Mother's Day gifts . . . particularly eye-catching is the collection of "milk glass" re productions of antique; glass ware.. In the form of candy dishes, bowls and mint trays a few pieces of "milk glass" would be a gracious addition to any table. Remember LESTER'S, 337 N. Jackson, for this lovely glassware. No more digging for hours for that slimy boit called worms J. V. SPORTING GOODS STORE has them for sale all dug and tamed, just waiting for your next fishing trip. If you're planning the f! purchase of. your first rod or another for your collection be sure to shop JV and take your pick from their racks and racks and racks of famous name rods . . . priced from $3.95 up. If you're still stumped on o practical and yet beautiful gift for your Mother stop in at JOSSE'S FURNITURE STORE, and look over their selection of North Star Blankets. Note par ticularly the "Autumn" six glowing colors Monte Blue, Gold, Cedar, Green, Rose Dust, and White. Not a bad idea for a gift for the young girl grad uate's hope chest. ' Another exciting discovery were the bracelet watches at ASHCRAFT JEWELERS. More than timepieces, these watches are really creations. The brace lets vary in width from 1 Vi" jold bands to narrow J4" bev eled silver ones, some are plain, others decorated with diamonds or rhinestones. Be prepared to buy if you once try on one of these bracelet fvatches. There's alwoys lots buzzing at the BEEHIVE.

Jackson, for o look-see at their cotton collec- tion. Found them ooohing and aahing over a new shipment of i maternity dresses. The manu-i facturers have finally broken away from the old "burlap sack" drape in maternity frock. These dresses were every bit as concealing, ond clever as any cotton you have ever worn. The prices were in the modest ranqe starting at $6.95. Next week won't be too soon to shop for some graduation 'gifts, so same place, same day next week we'll go Shopping the Town. (Pd. Adv.) UNIVERSITY OF ORECON, Eugene Construction of the University's new $1,500,000 women's dormitory, pictured above, is now under way. The building, self-financed through dor mitory earnings, will house 333 girls and is expected to take approximately a year fo complete. until June 30. Wolcott opened a deep grave for the bill when he made it clear he spoke for other house GOP leaders In telling a reporter: "The Senate was informed last week that the House is not inter ested in a short term continuance. The house banking committee has not scheduled any hearings on the senate's 60-day extension bill and it does not anticipate any." T E W Bill at Issue Wolcott's plain brush-off brought into the open the long smouldering housing dispute be tween a Senate group led by Taft and a house group headed by Wolcott. Taft is chairman of the Senate Republican policy com mtitee. The main issue in the scrap is the Taft Ellender - Wagner long range housing bill designed to spur the construction of 15,000, 000 new homes by 1958. The sen ate passed the bill two weeks ago. Wolcott's committee is holding hearings on it. Wolcott left no doubt that he regards the Senate insurance ex tender, backed by Taft, as a move to force his committee to send the T-E-W bill to house floor, in tact with its controversial section providing for 500,000 government owned and operated public hous ing units. The T-E-W bill has a provision extending the home loan Insur ance program through next March. The house has passed a separate bill providing lor the same extension. But Taft and other senate back ers of public housing don't want to act on the house measure. They want the house to act on the om nibus T-E-W bill. Yesterday, a ft e r another round of hot debate, the senate passed its stop gap 60-day extend er to revive the government's loan Insurance power which ex pired last Friday night. Before the bill passed and went to the house, the senate smacked down, 43 ot 28, an amendment by Senator Cain to strip the insur ance program from the T-E-W bill and' extend it through next March, as the house did.
