j Low-Rent Housing To Be Decided By Portland Voters Portland, Ore., Mar. 30 U.R) Portland voters learned today they will have to decide in the May 19 primary election wheth er they want 2,000 units of low rent federal housing constructed here beginning before October 1. City council members voted to let residents decide on the housing because of controversy stirred up by the issue. Seattle voters turned dowa tiie low-rent housing offer in their March 14 election by a substantial major ity. Groups Opposed ODDOsition to such housing generally has been by apartment house owners, real estate groups and miscellaneous property groups. Housing unit proponents generally are iouna in city courv cils, housing authorities and la' bor and "citizens' " groups. In Oakland. Cal., low-rent housing ODDonents accused three councilmen of railroading the low rent housing through the council. In the subsequent re call election, two of the coun cilmen retained their posts, but a third. Scott Weakley, drew such a close vote that it was be- ine contested. Two thousand units at Phoe nix, Ariz., are under construc tion, but 50 federal housing units in Yuma. Ariz., were re fused by the Yuma city council.

Mar. 29 (U.R) I Congress is still sitting on that equal rights bill for women and as far as Lucille Ball's concerned they can let it go a I that She said equal i x i . " like they need a hole in the head. We've g o t too many now," she said. "We've taken all the initia tive away from men. I say they ought to put the bill in reverse and take away some of our rights." Lucille, of the bright hair and wisecracks to match, doesn't rightfully hanker to be the same as husband Desi Arnaz. There are a lot of things men can do that women can't and she, for one, is happy to leave it at that. "There are times," she said, "when I like to be mastered-. What woman doesn't? It makes us feel feminine." Miss Ball Threatens Miss Ball is not one to write her congressman at the drop of a vote. But she's threatening to do something if the house of representatives passed that bill. The senate already did. So far the boys in the lower house haven't done much about it. The whole thing's ridiculous,' Lucille said. "If this becomes a law I suppose we'll have to try everything the men do. And 1 can't imagine anything duller than sitting through a session of stag jokes. "Now we can get up and leave. But the minute they make us equal we won't have any ex cuse." The same thing goes for pick ing up dinne rchecks, and ali mony. I Have To Put Off "Heavens," she wailed, "that'll be the day! When women have to pay off their divorced hus bands." There's none of this equality nonsense around the Ball-Ar-naz household, Lucille'll have you know, i "If I put on a hat Desi doesn't like off it comes," she said. "I don't stand around arguing about how we're equal and I know as much about how I look as he does. I want to look like he wants me to. "I like to be waited on, too, and be taken care of. Right now Desi's down at the beach paint ing our boat so he can take me on a vacation. MacPHERSON Correspondent "If I were legally equal I'd probably have to take turns with that paint brush. No, ma'am, none of that for me."
