Only five stales have pissed laws dealing with housing this year. In most of the others no ' legislation was introduced. In 1 some states, housing bills were killed or left to die in committee. The five states which have tak l en the initiative iu attempts to i ase the housing sjtu-Hon are N-w York. California. Massachusetts. N< w Jersey and South Dakota In New York. Gov. Thomas E Dewey signed a hill appropriating |2’><'<m.mm to continue the veter- ’ ana emergency housing program At Ills request the legisl iture up- ■ proved a 3135.<m<t.'«H» fund to com ; plete low rent housing in the blueprint stage. $L‘-t of it Jis planned for New York City.

veterans' housing projects. States with housing legislitlon pending include: Pennsylvania, “laliio Illinois. Wisconsin. Minne s da. lowa and Missouri. In Illinois, a inm.iHMt.i .to appro prlafion proposal for public housing for veteran* was given little chance of passing. Several other bills would make it easier for the •.fate to take over tax delinquent properties for existing public housing authorities. lowa's house of representatives passed a hill to permit veterans and other individuals to organize cooperatives to buy and operate multiple dwellings. Missouri's legislature was con sidering a low-coat public housing bill- to clear slums and provide. modern homes in the state's two largest cities Kansas Chy and St. Ixrais. The proposal was defeated twice last year atid was threatened again in the present session Plans (ready have been drawn for the two projects. — - 0 Woman's Poisoning Trial At Standstill MidUon. Ind.
