One Measure In Extra
Session
Washington, Dec. 20.-(AP)-Congressional leaders rushed the housing bill to the Senate today in an attempt to enact one major measure before midweek adjournment of the special session.
A sub-committee voted unanimously yesterday to recommend to the Senate legislation differing in only a few details from a bill passed Saturday by the House. The full committee was called together today to add its approval.
Major Leader Barkley, Democrat, Kentucky, said he expected the final Senate vote to be as one-sided as the 325 to 23 roll call in the House. The bill designed to stimulate the residential construction industry by making it easier for persons to finance small homes.
The Senate and House measure were so similar, leaders said, that compromising differences should take virtually no time. Thus they hope to send the legislation to the White House before adjournment Wednesday or Thursday.
