Indianapolis Man May Head Housing I WASHINGTON <UPD— Housing I officials expect President Eisenhower to nominate Bruce C. Savage, an Indianapolis real estate j man. to run the government's lowj rent public housing program. The White House is understood to be delaying the nomination, which will be subject to Senate approval, until the Senate breaks l its civil rights tieup and clears the way for other business. Savage was a member of Eisenhower’s housing advisory commit- ; tee in 1953 and its subcommittee on low income families. A supporter of federal subsidies for I slum clearance and low rent hous- , ing, he has clashed openly with Indianapolis real estate interests. The post of commissioner of the Public .Housing Administration has been vacant since Dec. 31 when Charles E. Slusser stepped out after six and one-half years service to return to privNte life jn Akron. Ohio. As head of the mA, Savage would manage a program of subsidy payments to local housing authorities which totaled 115 million dollars in 1959 and is headed higher this year. PHA contracts for subsidy payments covering 575,000 dwelling units, including 465,000 built and occupied and about 30,000 now i under construction. The remainder ; are still to be built. Some 1,400 PHA employes work in Washington and seven field offices. Since Slusser left, th? I agency has been run by its general counsel, Lawrence Davern Savage, 53, has been a member of the Indianapolis Commission on Human Rights, a trustee of the Booth Tarkington Civic Theater and of the Tudor Hall school for girls. A past president of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board, he owns and runs one of the largest residential sales comparfies in Indiana. He attended Butler, Indiana and Northwestern UniversitiesMissile Crashed In Formosa Strait TAIPEI, Formosa <UPI< — A United States Matador guided missile veered off course in a test firing in January and crashed into the Formosa Strait between Nationalist and Communist China, a U. S. military spokesman said today. The spokesman made the statement in response to a question from United Press International. He said the six-ton Martin missile crashed before it came close to the Communist-held mainland. The Matador is a winged guided missile — actually a pilotless jet dive bomber — with an operational range of more than 500 miles. It is the largest missile guarding Formosa and can hop the 100mile Formosa Strait and fly' deep into Red China. It is generally believed that Matador test firings normally are made in the direction of the Pacific Ocean east of Formosa. The strait lies to the west. The January flight was the first reported Matador mishap in Formosa. . Trade in a good town — DecaM
