Noticing that only four or five Democratic members of the House Banking and Currency Committee | were present, GOP Congressman Clarence Kilburn of Maine, N. Y., quickly moved to report out the Welcett bill minus public housing, slum clearance, and other humani- | tarian features of the original | Taft-Ellender-Wagner bill. | “I object,” declared Democrat'; Wright Patman of Texas. “Some | of our colleagues are not present. We should have time to round them up so that they can vote on this.” “It’s now 20 minutes to 2 o’clock, ruled Wolcott from the chair. “You can have until 2 o'clock to pro- duce absent members. We vote then.” Representative Boggs of Louisi- ana and Mike Monroney of Okla- homa jumped into action, rounded | up Democratic colleagues and all| eleven were on hand to help de-| feat the Kilburn motion, 14 to 13, with the support of three Repub-| licans—Hull of Wisconsin, Stratton | of Tllinois and Scott of Pennsyl- vania. i | GOP Congressman Frank Sund-| strom of East Orange, N.

Representative Jchn Kunkel of Harrisburg, Pa., demanded a reconsideration of the vote, still hoping Scott would switch back to the Republicans. “Gentleman’s ‘motion is out - of | order,” hotly contended Boggs of Chairman Wolcott agreed that Beggs was right, Kunkel was ruled Note—Besides Republicans Hull Stratton and Scott, who put their country’s welfare above party pol- y, Democrats who deserve a ma- re of the credit for iorcing ] action on public Helen of rnia. and Gahagan Douglas RACING CREWS LINE UP ON POUGHKEEPSIE POUGHKEEPSIE, N.
