Wide-ranging bill is sent to House for study

WASHINGTON (UP!)—The Senate has sent a wide-ranging $5 billion housing bill to the House, which is working on one even broader. Both were aimed at helping poorer people get better homes. On a 67-4 vote Tuesday, the Senate approved a three-year starter on President Johnson’s plan to provide six million new and refurbished low-cost housing units by 1978. The House Banking Commit, tee already is working on a $6 billion plan worked out by its housing subcommittee, whose chairman, Rep. William Barrett, D-Pa., called “the largest housing bill in history.” For one thing, Barret’s panel approved a five-year program of interest subsidy payments for lower income groups, compared with the three-year plan under the Senate bill. The Senate went along with virtually every new aspect of the President’s housing request, although reducing the period of the authorization from five years to three. A woman's view By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UPI)—We live in the most affluent nation in the world . . . affluence marked by such things as the two and three-car family, the second and sometimes third, fourth and fifth home, the $5,000 price tag on an evening gown, the flying vacation to remote parts of the world once out of reach of all except the Morgans and the Vanderbilts. Yet, in the midst of luxury, the ugly word poverty haunts all of us, poverty especially in our increasingly urban population. “The overriding human problems of the cities’ people is poverty, the lack of enough money to support the essentials of life,” says one woman writer on social welfare subjects. “Twenty-two million poor persons live in our cities, 10million of • them in the deteriorated center cities. Nearly all the latter are people of racial minorities—Negroes, most of whom are migrants from the rural South, and in lesser numbers, Puerto Ricans and Mexicans, and the aged, white and Negro.” “The chance to earn money is all but closed to them,” says the author^ Marion O. Robinson. “A 1966 study of 10 urban slums showed that unemployment was three times the average for the rest, of the nation, with highest rates among teen-age boys and girfs^’ And the gap between the haves and the have-nots grows wider, in spite of the gains of the civil rights movement and the civil rights act of the 1960’s, she continues. No wonder then that the threat of racial strife hangs over the cities . . . that “a rising tide of crisis flows through our city streets.”

The administration originally requested a $7.5 billion program over the longer period. A main feature of the legislation would help provide better housing for those in ghettos, plus the subsidies to help low and middle income Americans buy their own homes. Besides its new program, the measure would extend and expand urban renewal, mass transit and model cities programs. Relatively minor features of the bill would provide federal mortgage guarantees to help middle-income Americans buy summer homes; crack down on

out-of-state land rackets, and subsidize college housing construction. A major new program, originated by Sen. Charles Percy, R-Ill., would help low and moderate income families buy new and rebuilt homes costing $15,000 to $20,000depending on location and family size. Under this program, families earning $3,500 to $6,800 would be eligible for monthly federal subsidies expected to range from $38 to $50. Because $300 would be allowed for each child, a couple with five children could earn $9,800 and be eligible for the subsidy.

AVERELL HARRIMAN looks a bit grim at the peace talks with Hanoi representatives in Paris as reporters chase after him. Forage is adaptable to modern methods

LAFAYETTE - Forages, such as high quality legume pasture, silage and haylage, are particularly adapted for modern brood sow nutrition, points out James R. Foster, Purdue University extension swine specialist. They are especially well suited to the sow gestation period. Foster says one economical method of meeting the nutritional needs of sows during pregnancy is placing them on good alfalfa or ladino clover pasture. Requirements of nutrients that may be slightly deficient can be met by feeding about two pounds of oorn per sow daily and providing a free choice mineral mixture of equal parts of dicalcium phosphate and trace mineralized salt. Figuring 10 sows for each acre and a daily rental charge for pasture of 25 cents an acre, the total daily cost for feed and pasture would be 7.5 cents per sow. This compares with a dry lot complete mixed ration cost of 15 cents a day. Purdue research indicates that good corn and legume grass silages, properly supplemented, may make up a major part of the gestation rations for sows and gilts. Protein is the major deficiency in corn silage; energy

is low in legume grass silage, so both silages need supplemental minerals. High quality haylage—third forage which can be used in sow rations—is limited by its lack of energy producing qualities. This energy requirement can be met by feeding two pounds of corn per sow each day, Foster explains.

WALL STREET .CHATTER NEW YORK (UPI)—C. B. Richard, Ellis & Co. says the market apparently will continue on its present “vacillating” course until announcement of “a significant news item.” Then, the company says, individual stocks probably will be “less conspicuous” and a general market trend “will come into being.”

E. F. Hutton & Co. says the market’s recent action suggests “it would take very little” in the form of a positive news development to start a new, broad, advancing phase. At the same time, the analyst says, it » probably would take a major bit of negative news to push the list substantially lower. The Wiesenberger Investment Report points out that the market is risky at its current level and investors should make allowances for a “more erratic and fragmented performance.” It adds that commitments in individually attractive common stocks remain warranted but portfolios should continue to include defense issues and adequate liquid reserves.

SIX TIMES HEAVIER—Birthday cake-smeared Tina Kay Engstrom weighs 12.5 pounds now, more than six times the one pound, 13 ounces she weighed when born a year before in Dallas, Tex. She wasn’t expected to survive, but she's in fine shape. Weather slows planting LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPI)Soggy soil conditions held field work to only one day in Indiana last week and left 35 per cent of the corn crop still not planted near the end of the month. Robert E. Straszheim, agricultural statistician at Purdue, said the corn crop was 65 per cent planted last week, which is ahead of the 40 per cent of a year ago, but behind the 70 per cent average for this time of year. Straszheim's report Monday said “The cool, wet weather was unfavorable for corn growth and much of the crop is of a yellow color. The average height of corn now up is two inches, about the same as average. Very little cultivation of corn has been accomplished.” “Approximately 20 per cent of the soy beans are planted, well behind the 45 per cent average but ahead of the 10 per cent planted last year. The height of soybeans is about one inch, near the average.” About half the wheat crop was reported to be headed, ahead of the 35 per cent a year ago and about average. The first cutting of alfalfa hay was about 10 per cent complete, only half of average. “Pastures continued to improve and are rated mostly good. Topsoil moisture was rated as mostly surplus. Subsoil moisture over the state aver, aged adequate to mostly surplus,” the report said.

REPATRIATION BARKING, England (UPI)Royston Tilbury, 37, who left his wife and eight children four years ago, walked into court today and offered to repay all $6,480 which the state paid to support his family. He said he was now a successful scrap-metal dealer, a position he would not have been able to attain had he not left his family, and was ready to Start our life all over again.”

The word “bedlam” comes from the name of the first English lunatic asylum.

Proper Prop Provides Peak Performance MORE THAN 10-million outboard motors will be in use on the nations waterways this summer—and many of them won t be giving top performance simply because the propeller doesn’t match the boat. "Many new boatmen, and even some veterans, fail to realize a standard propellei is designed for every motor," says Lou Eppel, service manager for Johnson Motors. "But the manufacturer has no way of knowing how the motor will be used. It may be for a commercial job in Africa, for fun on a sport runabout on the Mississippi, or for towing a troop of water skiers in Florida.’’ Under average conditions. Eppel points out. factory-supplied props give good service. For optimum performance, however, engine owners should allow their dealers to match the "wheel" to the duties the engine is expected to perform. "Arf improper propeller can cut down engine performance through loss of acceleration, shorten spark plug life, and keep the repair bills coming in,” Eppel continued. Eppel has one more tip, too: Once the proper propeller has been, selected, trim out the boat and make sure the weight is evenly ’istributed. Place spare fuel tanks, food hampers, fee chests, et.etera, so that the boat planes easily and rides well.

The unfeeling gent in the car behind her began blowing his horn furiously. After some moments, with a traffic cop bearing down upon her, she climbed resolutely out of her car and walked back to her noisy tormentor. “I can’t seem to get my motor started,” she told him, smiling grimly. "Now why don’t you go up there and see what you can do about it. I’ll stay back here and honk your horn for you." * • • QUOTABLE: "The miniskirt is a functional thing.
