mit to absolute federal control
of his farming operation for ten
years.
The so-called “local” housing
authorities would have no local
control.
The bill specifically denies to
congress any review of appropri
ations or control over specific ex
penditures.
We need federal support for re
development of slum areas, for
guaranteed financing of new
home, for such honest assistance
as is really justified. But H. R.
4009 will do more toward aggra
vating those problems than solv
ing them. It is a cruel political
hoax on those who need help.
