Hew Housing Bill Said Extension Of Past Programs
Washington UR) The
housing bill, which stirred up
a last minute ruckus before it
was passed by Congress is a rel
atively simple measure comparr
ed to the major overhaul of the
housing law last year.
Essentially, the bill is just an
extension with some modifi
cations of past housing pro
grams, ranging from home mort
gage insurance to cooperative
apartments.
The bill's key sections provide
for;
Expansion in Authority
1. A S4.000,000,000 expansion
in the Federal Housing adminis
tration's authority to insure

home mortgages.
2. Forty-five thousand public
housing units to be built in the
coming year. The administra
tion had asked for 70,000 over a
two-year period.
3. Lifting the restriction that
public housing be built only for
low income families displaced
as a result of federally-approved
slum clearance programs.
As always with the housing
bill, the main battle centered
over public housing the pro
gram started in 1949 to give
federal assistance to communit
ies to provide housing for low
income families.
Ike May Gt Awy
President Eisenhower lost out
on these points but he may get
his way after all simply by not
using the provisions he finds
objectionable.
Mr. Eisenhower had warned
Congress that it might face a
special 'session if it did not pro
duce a satisfactory housing bill.
But House Republican Leader
Joseph W. Martin Jr., (Mass.),
said the final measure approved
yesterday apparently is good
enough to rule out that possibility.

TV Actors Scheduling
Film Strike Friday
o New York (U.R) A strike
is shaping up on television. '
The Screen Actors Guild has
scheduled a nationwide strike
against producers of television
entertainment films.
The walkout, set to start Fri
day, would hit big name shows
produced purely for television.
It is believed the strike could
effect up to 70 per cent of the
shows produced only for tele
vision. However, most producers have
film backlogs, some of them
with shows filmed"' up to 12
weeks in advance. And the pro
ducers could switch to live
shows.
The Guild said the strike has
been called because producers
refused a union demand for pay
to actors' for the second run of
films on TV.
