Many Home Proposals Die in Committee

By UNITED PRESS Most state have left solution of the housing shortage to the federal government and private enterprise, & survey showed today. Only five have passed laws dealing with housing this year. In most of the others no legislation was introduced. In some states, housing bills were killed or left to die in committee. five which have taken. the|initiative in attempts to ease the situation are New York, California,

South Dakota. Veterans’ Homes Backed In New York, Gov. Thomas E.| Dewey signed a bill appropristing $25 million to continue the veterans emergency housing program. At his request the legislature approved a $135 million fund to complete low rent housing in the blueprint stage. Most of it is planned for New York City. The fund must be approved by voters in November. In California, the legislature has appropriated $10 million within the last year to pay for part of the federal housing program in the state. The legislature also has appropriated a $1 million revolving fund to buy surplus housing for resale to veterans. Bills pending in Califor-

low-rent housing plan. “New Jersey has a veterans emergency housing program, started last October under a $41 million appropriation by the legislature. So far, 150 homes have been built, nearly 2000 are under construction and contracts have been let for 1200 more. The program includes new pre-fabricated housing, conversion of army barracks and conversion of private homes into apartments.

State Shares Costs

Massachusetts has a law authorizing cities and towns to go into the construction business. It also has an emergency housing commission to handle veterans’ problems. A bill now in committee would amend the law so that the state would share half the cost of housing built by communities, South Dakota's legislature recently passed a bill permitting larger cities to build and operate veterans’ housing projects. States with housing legislation pending include: Pennsylvania, Maine, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa. Pennsylvania's legislature was reported ready to pass an rdminis-tration-supportad bil! to permit insurance companies to build and operate rental units. In Maine, a bill was before the legislature to create public housing authorities in urban areas. Bills Defeat Seen

In Illinois, a $100 million appropriation proposal for public housing for veterans was given little chance of passing. Several other bills would make it easier for the

Cleared for China

Two months later the 1800-ton former Chesapeake Bay liner President Warfield stole mysteriously

manian flag. Though she had cleared for China she had no charts of China waters. Her crew numbered 40, she was amply provisioned, she had no passengers, yet she carried 35 tons of life jackets and army-type mess kits. On March 6 the President Warfield limped back into Hampton Roads, her seams sprung by heavy seas in a severe Atlantic storm. Her captain said he didn't know where she really had been bound. His orders were to take her to Palestine and turn her over to another skipper—or somebody.

Seized By British

On March 9 the 800-ton yacht Abril was seized by the British at Haifa, Palestine. She was the former Cytherea. Her crew then numbered -24, including two American and one French newspapermen. Two others were Norwegians with first U. 8. citizenship papers, The rest were full American citigens. There were 599 passengers— 385 men, 194 women, 20 children, all Jewish “refugees” seeking to establish homes in Palestine. The Abril, informally known as the Ben Hecht, is the first Ameri-can-bought refugee-smuggling craft known to have reached the Medi-

Both the U. S. and the Swedish governments say there is nothing illegal about such sales under their laws. The ships are bought honestly. They are registered under Cbntral American flags.

A.E.L, C.1.0. Try to Avert

Fear Drastic Labor Curbs in Walkout

By FRED W. PERKINS Scripps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, March 28.—A. F. of L. and C. I. O. efforts to avert the nation-wide telephone strike, it was learned today, have been going on for a week. They are expected to be in tensified today by t the legislative ¢ time bomb of Chairman Fred A. Hartley Jr. (R. N. J.) of the housg labor committee. He proposed a drastic step—one that rouses the Mr, Perkins worst fears of all union leaders. In effect he would junk the Norris-La Guardia antiinjunction ‘act, giving authority to the President to get junctions

strikes affecting the public health, welfare or convenience, but. in which the government is not involved as an employer. This would be different from President Truman's effective court attack on the John L. Lewis coal strike. In that case the supreme court held the government wes the

was not restrained by the NorrisLa Guardia act. This finding was over the bitter opposition of all major leaders of organized labor. The government was held to be an employer in the. coal -case because it seized the coal mines last May. The seizure power as then
