Ellsworth, Horan
Hit Housing Bill
WASHINGTON, June 3W.T)
Two congressmen from the Pa
cific Northwest raised objections
to the administration's housing
bill before it was passed by the
House. '
Rep. Horan (R.-Wosh.) Issued a
statement attacking what he call
ed the "all or nothing boys." He
said they tried to make out that
anyone who opposed any part of
the bill "is against housing." Ho
ran added "nothing could be fur
ther from the truth."
A statement by Rep. Ellsworth
tR.-Ore.) referred to President
Truman's recent censure of a
"real estate lobby" and contin
ued: 'The cold truth about It is that
while there may be some lobby
ists around who represent real
estate dealers, I have never seen
one. No other member (of Con
gress) I have talked with has
seen one. Organized real estate
lobbying against the bill was not
noticeable but pressure of
groups lobbying for the bill has
been extremely heavy."
Horan asserted the "mere
threat" of the housing bill "has
scared the home building indus
try so badly that construction has
fallen off since last November.
The administration bill is a cruel
Kolltical hoax on those who need
eln."
Ellsworth said "even the Amer
ican Legion has urged passage of
the bill." - .
"This statement," he went on,
"was especially Interesting be
cause the bill will not particular
ly benefit veterans. Nevertheless
tney will have the privilege of
paying thecosrt over the next 40
years. My mail from people
whom I know to be ' veterans
proves that the membership of
the American Legion is not by
any means solidly in favor of the
housing bill."

Democratic side.
Opponents, mustering all their
strength in an effort to kill the
bill if possible, or cripple it In
any case, succeeded at one point
In reducing the measure to a
skeleton oi ine program Mr. Hu
man had requested. . ..
Victory Margin S Votes
Shouting "Socialism" and argu
ing that the housing costs would
imperil the nation's financial
stability, a coalition of Republi
cans and Southern Democrats
mustered 168 votes to the admin
istration's 165 In a drive to kill
the publicly-owned housing pro
gram. Two hours later administration
leaders asked for a roll call on
the public housing section, which
accounts for about five-sixths of
the money authorization in the
bill.
They won by a five vote mar
gin 20!). to 204. ' y - '
Among those who applauded
the victory was Senator Taft of
Ohio, chairman of the Senate Re
publican Policy Commit lee, who
had fought for the bill In the
Senate.

Excise Tax Cuts
GOP Proposal
WASHINGTON. June 30.-
Rep. Martin (Mass.) House Re
publican leader, moved today lor
a quick vote on legislation re
ducing some wartime excise
taxes.
The taxes are on such things
as furs, silver, luggage, cosmetics,
transportation and commuta
tions. Martin said a petition is being
signed to discharge the House
Ways and Means Committee from
any further consideration of the
measure.
If 218 House members a ma
jority sign it, the bill would
come to a House vote immedi
ately. It would slash some taxes
more than 50 percent.
The measure would cut federal
taxes by about $600,000,000 a year,
some congressmen estimate. It
would not reduce the war-Imposed
extra rates on liquor, that now
yield about $600,000,000 annually.

those of the -Southern Coal Pro

Lewis is holding contract negotia
tions. Anti-Trust Act Feared
Meanwhile the operators them
selves were standing firm against
accepting Lewis' pian to spread
lobs by adopting the short week.
Mainly they fear the anti-trust
law.
"We are still opposed to It from
the legal standpoint and because
of the principle Involved," the
operator who declined to be
quoted by name said.
"What would happen to our
mines when the non-union mines
could work six days? They would
get the business."
ine operators running the ne
gotiations here insisted that they
nave a contract in force until
Aug. 14. .
George H. Lovo, of Pittsburgh-
Consolidated Coal Company and
head of the North-West negotiat-
ng group, asked, "why should we
change or modify that contract
when It still Is in force?"
The Aug. 14 date enters the pic
tures despite the automatic termi
nation of the 1948 contract at
midnight tonight because Lewis
gave notice to the North-West
operators on June 14 that he
wanted to negotiate a new agree

Is required to wait 60 days before

Treasury Aide Predicts
CHICAGO, June 30. Wl Un
der Secretary of the Treasury
Edward H. Foley Jr. declared
here today that all signs point to
continued American prosperity
"beyond anything we have ex
perienced in the past."
Americas economy is strong,
Foley said.
"There has been no under
mining of that strength as we
have readjusted our business
structure to normal peacetime
markets," he said. "Some few
critics have mistaken readjust
ment for something basically de
structive. T believe they now are
realizing their error.
Foley cited the cash positron of
Americans as one of the "founda
tion stones of our economic
power."
