Speaker Martin (Mass.) said the House will accept the Senate hous- ing bill tomorrow “as is” and send it to the White House. It is possible Congress may ad- journ by 4 p.m. (BST) Saturday, Martin added, . ... .

It also allotted $40,907,085 to bol- ster the nation’s ramparts in Alaska, where a lack of housing has forced a delay in plans to increase ground force strength.

The same three conferred Monday night with Prime Minister Stalin, seeking a basis for ending the Berlin block- ade and resolving other East-West differences. The Kremlin conference started at 5 pm. (7 am. PDT). Stalin was not believed present at this meeting, which the Western diplomats had sought with the foreign ‘minister.

Only a mild protest was raised by one Republican—Minnesota's Walter Judd, who wanted to know whether the leadership had intend- ed to commit the Republicans with- out holding a conference. He re- ferred to the fact that GOP chiefs had answered President Truman's message without talking it oyer with members of the party. Speaker Joe Martin pacified Jud by saying that the statement draft- ed by the leaders was only a “pro- posed statement.” If it wasn't adopted by the caucus, he promis- ed, a new one would be drafted. Needless to say, it was adopted — unanimously. Before the rubber-stamp vote, Rep. William Dawson of Utah urg- £d his colleagues not to close the session “without making an hon- est, conscientious effort to do some- thing about the high cost of liv- “We may not agree with the President on price control and ra- tioning,” Dawson declared, “but the people still expect us to do some- thing about high prices.” Martin agreed that the commit- tee should “tackle the problem” and give it more than superficial ex- amination. Even majority leader ‘Charlie Halleck admitted that “we should not be cavaliers and dismiss the sesslon with a polite bow.” However, he made it clear that he still fabored an “early adjourn- ment.” This last remark was I TRENTON, N.
