HOUSING BILL VOTE SPEEDS CLOSING Passage by House Leaves Few Measures to Be Acted Upon. . BACKGROUND— Throughout his Senate career Wagner of New York has directed hia principal attention toward leg- islation affecting social security, labor relations and public housing. Impending approval of the housing Wil although altered from the form he introduced, marks a Anal step n achievement of his three legisla- tive objectives. With drive for adjournment ir- resistible, admimstration leadera picked housing bill for ome of last major legislative efforts, By the Associated Press, House passage of the $526,000,000 low-cost housing program had re- moved today the last big contro- versial feature of the waning congres- sional session. The Senate hill. authorizing Federal loans and grants for State and mu- nicipal housing projects, was changed drastically by the House before it | voted approval last night, 274 to 86. As & result, o committee muat ad- fust the differences in the House and Senate versions before the bill can go to the White House. A wrangle was in prospect, but sponsors ex- pressed certainty an agreement would be reached. ‘The housing program was the final measure on the Roosevelt program which Democratic leaders decided could be salvaged, Much of the ad- ministration legislation—crop eontrol, wage-hour and Government reorgan- {zation—has been deferred to the next session, Tax Loophole Law Remains. The only important tasks remaining fore adjournment, aside from the housing agreement, were Senate pas- sage of the bills to close tax law loop- hopes and to make $98.000.000 de- ficiency appropriations. Little opp~- | #ition waz in sight, strengthening pre- | dictions that the session would end Baturday night It took the House nine hours to | debate the housing measure, which opponente—most Republicans and some Democrats—contended would a1d the cities at the expense of rural sections. Sponsors quoted & pro- vision that funds would be used wherever needed. In brief, the measure as passed by | the House provides Loans to State and municipal agencies for developing Jow-rent housing or slum clearance projects, with communities putting up 15 per eent of construction costs. The Sen- ate fixed the amount at 5 per cent. Capital grants up to 25 per cent of development costs. Annual aubsidies, of which communities would contrib- ute 25 per cent. An initial appropriation of $26.- 000.000 and a $500,000,000 bond issue covering the next three years, The Senate approved a $700,000,000 bond 1ssue, Limitation of Cost. Limitation of cost to $5,000 a dwell- ing unit. The Senate set a 34,000 limit, with & maximum of $1,000 a room. Limitation of funds for one State | to 10 per cent of the total. The Sen- ate figure wax 20 per cent. The unit cost aroused one of the | major arguments in the House. Rep-‘ resentative Hancock, Democrat, of | North Carolina sought unsuceessfully | to restore the Senate figures, con- | tending the $5.000 limit would permit | apartments more “luxurious” than the homes of average Americans. Representative O'Connor, Democrat, | of New York countered: “It has been proved that you can't | Ppoesibly, in any metropolitan area, build projects at a cost of $1,000 a | room. or $4.000 a unit.” The House rejected many amend- ments not approved by the Banking Committee, including one to permit families receiving an income of more | than four times the dwelling unit | rental to become occupants. The Sen- ate ratio wax 5 to 1. It accepted, however, an amendment by Representative Case, Republican, | of South Dakota ta limit occupants to | families of American citizens, TWO GO ON TRIAL IN"13 MURDER CASE Kentucky Man and Woman Are Accused—Missing Wit- ness Appears.

WASHINGTON, PORTUGAL SEVERS CZECH RELATIONS Unfilled Order for Machine Guns Is Blamed for Diplomatic Rift. BACKGROUND— Split Detween Portugal and Caechoslovakia originated two years ago in Portugal’s order for machine guns from Caechoslovakian Arm as a part of her rearmament program. Dispute arose over types of weapon to be delivered by the Caech firm, Recently Portugal contriduted to breakdown of mom-intervention system by the withdrawal ef fa- cilitiea for the international patrol on her fromtier. B the Associated Pross. LISBON, August 19.—The authori- tarian Portuguese government an- nounced formally today it had sev- ered diplomatic relations with the republic of Osechoslovakia over an unfilled order of machine guns, At the same time Portgual accused Caechoslovakia of yielding to the “in- fluences and pressure” of an. uniden- tified “third party” in blocking ful- filiment of the arma order. The newspaper Diario de Noticias promptly declared, in interpretation of the move, that Osechoslovakia had received “instructions from an Bast- ern power not to supply arma to a country which was a sure guarantee against & Communist Ibertan Penin- sula.” “Russian Strongheld.” In the same comment, the news- paper declared “‘Csechoslovakia is the Russian stronghold in Oentral Europe and perhaps the Soviets' largest air base.” “Portugal's attitude is a noble one," it added. The official Portuguese communique bluntly attributed the Praha govern- ment’s reluctance to permit a Cmecho- slovakian armament firm to supply a larger order of machine guns to Por- tugal to Portugal's attitude on the | civil war raging within her neighbor state, Spain. Portugal, governed by a Fascist- inclined premier, Dr. Antonio de Oli- veira Salazar, lies At the back door of the Spanish territory controlied by the insurgent leader, Francisco Franco, And several weeks ago wiped out the international patrol of her frontier | against arms and soldiers bound for Spain. i Portugal's statement today dis- | closed that the Portuguese Minister to Czechoslovakia left Praha for Vi- enna vesterday with the legation staff, leaving the task of looking After Portuguese interests in the mid- dle European republic to the Italian Minister. Third-Party Influence Blamed. Crechoslovakia's refusal to permit Portugal, the peninsular neighbor of 8pain, to buy war materials was due, the communique asserted, “to third-party influences and pressure exerted by those interested in de- laying Portugal's rearmament.” The dispute had its origin two years Ago, the communique continued, when Portugal placed a large order for ma- chine guns with the Ceskoslovenske | Zebrojovka factory in pursuance of | her rearmament program. But the factory informed the Por- | tuguese Minister at Praha July 23| that the Crzechoslovakian government | had refused permission to supply the | Armament because of the attitude Portugal had assumed with regard to non-intervention in the 13-month-old Bpanish civil war. The Portuguese Minister expressed his surprise. Several notes were ex- changed, and finally demarches were | nade, it was sald. * | | Withdrew Patrol Facilitiea, More than a month ago Portugal contributed to the disabling of the system by withdrawinig facilities for & patrol of her frontier to prevent arms and soldiers from reaching in- surgent Generalissimo Francisco Franco. | The Lisbon communique said the Praha government had offered several different explanations of its attitude, includig the statement that equiva- lent measures had been taken re- | garding an order for arms placed by Mexico. CZECHOSLOVAKIA ASTONISHED. PRAHA, Cuechoslovakia, August 19 (#).—The Czechoslovakian govern- ment today voiced astonishment over the Portuguese decision to break dip- lomatic reiations because of & mu- nitions dispute. The Lisbon government's action was described by the government here "~ “unprecedented.” The foreign office issued a com- munique asserting “no political or diplomatic conflicts have existed or Dow exist between Coechoslovakia and Portugal. “It is, therefore, unprecedented in the history of international relations that failure of business negotiations should have led to this formal and unilateral breaking of diplomatic re- lations.” The communique explained that the Portuguese government some time 4go negotiated with & Csechoslovakian Arms concern for delivery of a cer- tain type of weapon. When it de- veloped this concern ocould not All the order—the plant operating at capacity production on a Osechosio- Vvakian government order--the Portu- Ruese government was offered a dif- ferent type of weapon. This wax re- | tused. The upshot was the withdraw- al of the Portuguese Minister. The Csechoslovakian Minister is re- maining at his Lisbon post. Nasis Are Gratified. BERLIN, August 19 (#).—Immediate reaction in Naxi circles to Portugals breaking diplomatic relations with Czechoslovakia today was one of gratification. The development was regarded by authorities here as ‘“substantiation” of Germany’s frequently repeated con- tention that “third-party infiuence” is directing Crechoslovakia policy. Nasi spokesmen seldom nesitate to sy the “third party” is Soviet Russia. Seviets Defer Comment, MOBCOW, August 19 (#)—Soviet officials deferred comment today on Portugal's severance of diplomatic re- Iations with Opechoslovakia pending full information on the Lisbon charge of “third party influence” in Csech- oslovakia's failure to sell arms to the Lisbon gevernment. Any suggestion that Russia might be the “third party” was denied un- officiallp, ’ | Families D. C. THURSDAY, AUGUST 19. 1937.

MILL HOME FIRES HELD INCENDIARY Evicted, Blazes | Destroy Two Dwellings in Village. By the Associated Preac TUPELO. Miss., Auguat 19.—8heriff L. A. Ford charged “incendiariats” to- day with the burning of two com- pany-owned houses of the closed Tu- pelo cotton mills, where 11 families | were evicted yesterday. Jim Tom Fox, a striker, was evicted | from one of the houses. The other had been unoccupied several weeks. “It was bound to be incendiarism,” the sheriff said. The first fire broke out early last night in the vacant house. Firemen brought it under control, but flames appeared again later in the night and destroyed ft. The Fox house burned early today. Bheriff Ford said he expected to set the furniture of one more family into the street today. Three families who have il members will not be molested. The mill was closed last April dur- ing a sit-down strike of weavers and the stockholders later ordered it liqui- dated. The eviction, carried without dis- turbance, had been delayed one day at the request of Gov. Hugh White of Mississippi. The Governor said today he had no comment to make. Some of those evicted were making plans to “double up” with friends, and provisions were being made today to care for one or two families who had not yet become located. Cox charged the move was one “to try to break the solidarity of the strikers.” This was denied by O. R. Bolton, counsel for the mill, who said the evictions were “simply s matter of liquidation and every considera- tion has been shown to all without discrimination.” SUGAR BILL E:ONFEREES FAIL ON AGREEMENT Unable to Compose Differences on Curb of Refining in Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

LEAGUE COMPLETES PALESTINE REPORT Document Understood to Raise No Serious Objection to Partitioning. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, August 19.—The League of Nations Permanent Mandates Com- mission yesterday concluded ecompil- ing its report on the British proposal to partition Palestine. The report, which will go to the League Council next month, wgs un- derstood to make no serious objee- tion in principle to the British Royal OCommission's proposed - carving of ¥ ancient Palestine into Jewish d Arab states and s British mandated territory. The report was understood to sug- gest establishment of & temporary regime, if necessary. under which the practieability of the partition plan would be tested.

B the Associnted Press, Senator Bankhead, Democrat, of | Alabama, today asked President Roosevelt to authorize a Government | loan of 10 cents & pound on cotton. ‘The Senstor, saying Secretary Wal lace had ‘advocated a 9-cent loan, told newspaper men 10 cents would be best for both the Government and the farmer because the farmer actually was “going to get 12-cent cotton any- way.” | The President recently was reported to have agreed with the cotton bloc {in Congress to order loans on this | year's cotton to farmers who pledged | compliance with crop control legis- | lation which will be enacted next | seasion. Mr. Roosevelt also agreed. the bloc members said, to grant a subsidy rep- | resenting the difference between the | loan figure and 12 cents, but to with- hold payment until after actual com- pliance with a new control law. | Bankhead said the Government | would only have to pay a 2-cent sub- | sidy under a 10-cent loan. He added uch & loan would keep the price from | falling below 10 cents, thereby giv- ing a higher immediate return to the farmer who will have to wait until next year for his subsidy. Meanwhile. a Senate- subcommittee went forward with ita atudy of a bill by Senator McAdoo, Democrat, of Cali- fornia, to guarantee to farmers the coat of production of their domesti- cally consumed crop. A. G. Black, director of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, tessified the plan was “virtually impossible of administration.” He aaserted the legis- lation would tend to curtail domestic consumption while increasing produc- tion. “There would be an increasingly serious problem of surplus disposal,” he said.
