A bill to carry out part of the Presi dent’s program was introduced im mediately in the Senate, while both branches of the Congress debated farm measures. Farm legislation, government reor ganization —and in the Senate an anti-lynching bill —are ahead of the housing legislation on the congres sional schedule, making doubtful its chances of passage during the special session. Congressional leaders said, however, that, if the banking com mittees act spfeedily, the housing pro gram might be squeezed through. The President’s idea is to make it possible for low-income families to build a $5,000 home with only SSOO capital and at lower monthly pay ments than were possible before. Continued on Page Two.)
