Lyndon Johnson
Plans To Seek
New Housing Bill
Washington -OB- Senate
Democratic Leader Lyndon B.
Johnson indicated today he
will press for passage of a
new housing bill whether
Congress tries to override
President Eisenhower's veto
or not.
The Texas Democrat told
newsmen he and appropriate
committee members are ex
ploring "what we can do to
get houses built." "I think
that's what the people want,"
he said.
Sparkman Aski Action
,-: Sen. John J. Sparkman
(D-Ala.) who directed the Sen
ate fight for the vetoed bill,
' called for Senate action to
override. He predicted that a
vote would be close.
Chances oi winning ap-
: peared dim in the Senate and
much dimmer in the House. A
two-thirds vote is needed in
both chambers to enact a bill
disapproved by the President.
Eisenhower sent his veto of
the $1,375,000,000 housing
bill to the Senate Tuesday and
et off a political debate. He
said the measure was extrav-
" agant, inflationary, would
substitute government spend
ing for private investment,
put needless restrictions on
. the Federal Housing Adminis-
t r a t i o n and discriminated
against some cities.
The President urged Con
gress to enact a housing bill
based on six recommendations
he submitted last winter.
Deplores Aitirud
Johnson deplored what he
called the President's "all or
nothing attitude" and said
Congress was being told it
must accept the administra
tion program without change.
Both he and Sparkman said
Congress had gone a long way
. to meet administration - de
mands on housing.
The Senate passed the final
version of the housing bill by
a 58-31 vote.
Unless the Senate upsets the
veto, no House action will be
needed. The House passed the
bill by a 241-177 vote, far
short of a two-thirds majority.
Chamber Division

Chamber of Commerce "Keep

ness group conferences were

man, said the group meetings

tive comment has been heard.

tions to the chamber so that

Castro Will Fight
Land Reform Foes
With Death Penalty
Havana -UPD- Premier Fidel
Castro's revolutionary regime
was armed with the death pen
alty today for a major on
slaught against opposition to
his land reforn program.
Revolutionary tribu
nals, which have condemned
hundreds of Cubans to firing
squads since Jan. 1, were re
ported ready to resume their
work in Pinar Del Rio prov
ince. Governors To
Discuss Water
Sacramento,. Calif. OIPD
Three western governors meet
here Thursday to discuss a
way to provide more water
and power fo. Calif onia.
The discussions will be
among' Govs. Albert Rosellini
of Washington, Mark Hatfield
of Oregon and Edmund G.
Brown of California.
They will take up proposals
to transmit low cost power
from the federally owned Bon
neville Power Administration
in the Northwest and receive
it in California, possibly
through Shasta Dam. .
California has appropriated
$70,000 for a study of the
three-state common carrier ar
rangement. The system appar
ently would eliminate a pro
posed contract between the
Bonne v i 1 1 e Administration
and the Pacific Gas and Elec
tric Co.
Pinar Del Rio, at the ex
treme western end of the is
land, is a hotbed of opposition
to Castro's campaign to slice
up large farms and dole out
acreage to the peasants.
Armed bands have been re
ported building up strength in
the Organ Mountains of the
province to overthrow Castro
The Castro regime Tuesday
decreed the death penalty for
"crimes which damage the na
tional economy or the public
treasury," and for treason,
subversion and wartime es
pionage.
. "Counter - revolutionary ac
tivities" such as armed revolt
or the "commission of crimes
on behalf of the Batista dicta
torship" already were punish
able by death.
Fundamental Law
Castro has proclaimed the
land reform as the "fundamen
tal law" of his revolution and
has defied every effort to
slow it down or modify it.
Conservative members of his
cabinet who tried it were
ousted.
At least 11 '.'counter-revolu
tionaries," one of them a wom
an, await trial in Pinar Del
Rio. Whether the new death
penalty decree would still the
opposition or goad it into vio
lent reaction remained to be
seen. Pinar De Rio tobacco
farmers have vowed to battle
to the death for their holdings

Up 28 Per Cent
From Last Year
Washington -(UPD-The Agri
culture Department reported
today that farmers planted
15,890,000 acres of cotton this

The department is forbid
den by law from making an
estimate of cotton production
until later in the season. But

to the acre, the planted acre
age would produce 12,000,000
bales.
$466 Pounds Average
Last year farmers produced
11,512,000 bales from 12,379,
000. acres planted. Of this,
11,849,000 acres were har

is so quaint and picturesque.

of Trip
The streets were lined with
trees and usually bright
flowers in, the -center. There
were a lot of open markets,
especially flower stands.
We left Rotterdam by train,
but their trains are not as nice
as ours. I got about three
hours sleep. At 5 a jn. we got
on a beautiful ferry to get to
Denmark and then took a
train to Copenhagen, a ferry
to Sweden, a train to Stock
holm, boat to Turku, Finland
and train to Helsinki, where
my family met ' me with a
beautiful . bunch of roses:
. At each change the girls
got off first, and then the boys
threw the suit cases .out the
windows. We carried them,
usually running, to th'e, next
train, where the boys tnrew
the lueeaee in the windows.
Then we got on and the boys
sorted the luggage by passing
the baes from person to per
son, yelling the name, and you
grab it as it goes by.
Holland is just as I had
imagined it, but even more
quaint. Every inch of ground
is under cultivation - sone
plots only ten square feet.
The houses are brick and have
steep roofs, sometimes thatch
ed. The windmills were pretty
and I especially loved the
churches.
Denmark was much the
same, the fields a little larger.
All the houses are well kept,
with hedges around them and
with ruffled curtains and
flowers in the windows.
Likes Sweden
The countryside in Sweden
is gorgeous, the most like
home I've seen. Stockholm is
very much like our cities.
There were lots of pastry, and
candy shops, and they serve' a
lot of bread: We had a day
there.
The ferry trip from Sweden
to Finland was beautiful. The
water is full of islands cov
ered with evergreens, and
there was bright pink light all
along the horizon. It was still
dusk at midnight. The sun
than

sets at about 10:30 cm, andi
rises at 2:30 a.m., and it never I
gets really dark.
We came by car from Hel-i
sinki to Kurikka. The roads;
are very bad, the highway
about like the road used to
be to Lake of the Woods.
When we went through Tam
pere, Marjo, my "sister" here,
said, "There are many Com
munists here. I don't like."
I know I'm not seeing the
typical Finland, as my family
is very wealthy. You can see
from the enclosed pictures of
their home. They have a cook
and a young girl who gleans.
They have the latests clothes
-mohair and bulky sweaters,
very pointed shoes, and ex
tremely short skirts with lots
of petticoats. They have a '59
model car, a sports car, motor
boat, cottage with sauna
(steam bath) on the river and
a swimming pool in their back
yard. Marjo's father speaks
very good English and is very
nice. He's been to New York
and mentioned Portland as the
City of Roses.
Trip By Boat '
We went in their motor
boat to the cottage about a
mile up the river yesterday.
We swam and lay in the sun.
We went to sauna and then
jumped into the river three
times. I loved it.
