m Salem, Oregon, Monday, May 21, 1956 THE CAPITAL JOURNAE Section 1 Page 11 Multi-Billion Housing Plan Up in Senate Rotter Residences for Poor, Aged Feature Of Measure WASHINGTON The Senate I arts debate today on a multi billion dollar housing bill that ould give the administration niany things it asked for, and Jnmc it didn't. 1 No one has yet reduced the cost Of the omnibus housing bill to any specific over-all dollar total. It leans heavily toward the provision b' better housing for the poor and the aged. ( One provision for a huge low rental public housing program for low - income families 135,000 un its a year for three years was headed for a fight. Its sponsors have added a provision which 'would let the President boost the total to 200,000 units a year, or cut it to 50,000 units. The administration has asked authorization for 35,000 units a year, or cut it to 50,000 Units. The administration has asked au thorization for 35,000 units a year for two years. Sen. Capehart (R- ' Ind), administration floor mana- ) get for the bill, has announced he will seek to have the total reduced to that level. The measure also calls for an pioneering program to build 75, 000 additional low-rent public hous ing units of special design to house elderly persons of small means, construction would pro ceed at a rate of 15.000 units a year, beginning in midsummer. The homes would provide dwell ing space without stairs and with special-type fixtures designed for convenience and safety of elderly occupants. President Eisenhower had recommended a program of such housing to be designed for persons 6a or older. The bill also would provide more liberal credit terms for the sale of homes for persons 60 or older by allow FHA insurance of up to 100 per cent of loans, 40 - year mortgages, and purchase of the homes with only a $200 down payment. Court Cases Speed Urged By Brownell i WASHINGTON W-Atty. Gen Brownell called on lawyers and judges today to speed up their Handling of court cases. "The basic problem is to over come inertia," he said. : Many factors contribute to the delay, he said, but among them he listed the "fundamental work habits and attitudes" of some lawyers and judges who he said "have become accustomed to a irwdur operandi (way of working which takes delay into ccount." Brownell's remarks were pre pared for a two-day conference of CO officials of bar associations ai.d judicial organizations assembled to sock means of quickening the wheels of justice. I "We know that justice delayed often means justice denied, Brownell said. v Because of the delays, some persons settle legitimate claims at a fraction of their worth and others "have been driven to other moms for resolving dispute,' said. i "We cannot afford to driv people from our courts to other means of settling disputes because judicial relief is so distant and . remote as to be meaningless.
