Ike Housing
Bill To Be
Considered
WASHINGTON W The House
faced a decision on whether to lot
low the recommendations of Pres
ident Eisenhower or It Appropria
tions Committee on the public
housing issue as leaders scheduled
for debate today a bill carrying
lunis for the program..
The President has asked Con
cress for a lour-ycar program
aimed at building 140,000 low-rent
public housing units. The Appro
priations Committee recommended
last week that the program be end
ed In two years with the construc
tion of only 35.000 more units.
There, was some speculation that
Eisenhower might send a new ex
pression of his views to Congress.
The House follows recommenda
tions of its Appropriations Com
mittee' more often than not, but
some Democrats were planning a
stiff flizht on the boustna issue.
They were promised help today
from Rep. Javiets (R-Lib-NYl,
who said In a statement today that
the committee action "must oe
protested and at least the 35.000
public housing units requested
. . . must be restored." He added:
"I shall fight for this in every
way I can. It is essential in order
to redeem the President's program
of which housing is a vital part."
Slum clearance and uiban re
development for big cities Is a
practical impossibility without a
component of pubic housing," he
sald, and federal public housing
Is essential if any appreciable mu-
nicipal or state-aided bousing is
to be expected,
The housing funds are contained
in a oHi-bllllon-doIlar appropria
tions bill carrying money for a
score of Independent agencies, the
biggest of which are the Veterans
Administration and the Atomic En
ergy Commission.
Some other Items in it are also
controversial, particularly sharp
cuts made by the Appropriations
Committee in the' budget for the
Tennessee Valley Authority.
In the aggregate, the bill car
ries about U.'i per cent less money
than Elsenhower asked for the
agencies in bis budget message.
The Senate turned to minor leg
islation before resuming debate on
a bill to grant statehood to Hawaii
and Alaska. The House has passed
a .statehood measure for Hawaii,
as Elsenhower asked.
Senate-House conferees arranged
to meet Informally today to try to
resolve differences on an excise
tax bill requiring presidential ac
tion no later than midnight
Wednesday.

Partnership Urged For Use Of Water
PORTLAND Jfi A plan for
pUbiic and private power utilities
go partnership with the fert-
era government on a major Colum-
j,la Basin dam was advanced here
Saturday.
The federal government would
be asked to put up less than half
of the money and would be repaid
by sale of power within 50 years.
T6tal cost would run to over 300
million dollars.
The plan is for the John Day
Dam, which already has been au
thorized by Congress as part of
the comprehensive plan for Colum
bia Basin development. Although
authorized, no money has been ap
propriated.

Delzell said that the matter so

However, he said, both public

in Oregon have shown interest, and

Visiting Group
By PAUL IIAKVEY Jr.
SALEM I - Seven Germans,
who live in the 3.000-year-old city
of Passau only 15 miles from the
Iron Curtain, have found out In
Oregon that it isn't true what the
Russians say about the United
States.
Not that they believed it, but
they have had their minds changed
about a lot of things.
For instance, Mrs. Maria Karl,
the only woman in the party, said:
."We always thought that Ameri
ca had the wealth and that Europe
had the culture. But we're not so
sure now. after hearing such things
as a high school orchestra playng
Wagner and Tchaikovsky."
Mrs. Karl's husband Is a mem
ber of the local legislature.
The touring Germans, here as
guests of the State Department,
came to Salem Tuesday for a week.
Salem is the sRme size as Passau.
Before coming here, they visited
New York, Washington, Hacken
sack, N. J and Chicago. '
On Thursday, they went to the
Capitol, state hospital, penitenti
ary, HUlcrest scnool ior uins, mm

One member of the party, Eber
hard Koerting, a young political
writer for a newspaper, knows Eng
lish perfectly. He's the Interpreter,
although the others have learned
pretty good English in their live
weeks so far in America.
They ask many questions about
government, as well as about all
phases of American life. Gov. Paul
L. Patterson asked Koerting if he
found the American system of gov
ernment complicated. Koerting said
It's simpler than the German sys
tem. They were surprised at the good
care given to inmates of Oregon's
state Institutions. Koerting said
"the institutions, are most marv
elous." Alter seeing the breaded pork
chops being fixed for the prison
convicts, all of them agreed that
convicts eat better than most Eu
ropeans. - -
They didn't think much of their
visit to the state hospital, where
they saw three patients get shock
treatments and a skin graft opera
tion. Two of them got sick. They ex
plained it reminded them too
much of the horrible bombings of
the last war.
At the penitentiary, Alfred Karl
Heueck, city editor of a newspaper,
commented:

He explained that in Russia, or
dinary life is just like being in
jail.
They liked their visit to the new
tuberculosis ward at the state hos
pital. The head man on this ward
is Dr. Rudolph Rosenfeld, an Aus
trian. Since he talked to them In
their native German, it was like
old home week for the Germans
and for Rosenfeld.
After visiting the four Institu
tions, one German said:
"This shows us that America has
a big heart because of the way It
cares for its unfortunates."
The others in the party are Josef
