On New Program

By LOUIS ARMSTRONG r Feeney moved today to get anapolis in on the ground| floor of any public housing and: slum clearance. appropriations which the new 81st Congress may pass. ¥ Passage of a housing program was confidently predicted in Washington a few days agn by! Sen. Allen J. Ellender (D. La.).! who said he would introduce a comprehensive bill early in the session. Under the Taft-Ellender-Wag-ner formula, Congress would appropriate funds ‘for 500,000 lowrent housing units to be constructed in the next five years and owned and operated by local public-housing authorities.

Cash Ald to Cities

In addition, cities would be aided with cash to buy up, as semble, and put to private or public use their blighted slum Areas,

Mayors of cities of 50,000 or more were asked earlier this year for facts on their housing shortages, slum conditions and readiness to take on the planning and direction of housing projects. This information was sought by a joint congressional committee on housing. However, Mayor Feeney sald today he had never received a request for this information but that he would attempt to furnish| it inimediately. | “Well even send a man, to | Washington if necessary,” he declared. “You can be certain Indianapolis will make every effort to obtain its quota of any Federal housing aid.” Attacks GOP Bill During the S0th Congressional Boasion, Republicans in the House succeeded in scotching the Taft-Ellender-Wagner bill except for its cash aids to private builders, President Truman indorsed the full bill. In his campaign he attacked the Republicans for the “teeny- ny” housing bill, Federal public housing offigials who would administer ss under the Ellender bill say they probably would establish quotas to prevent any city monopolizing the benefits of the bill, Some authorities in Washington believe that opposition to publc housing will subside in the next C because of the decline in construction of homes for

the big operators in construction fields will be glad to get public contracts to keep busy.
