These lour embrace a German peace settlement, the strength ening of fhe Unifed Nations, the development of East-West con tacts and a ban on the use of outer space for war purposes. •Russia refuses to talk about three subjects proposed by Eisen hower and indorsed by Macmil lan. These are: An American-So viet agreement to restrict the use of the veto in the UN Security Council, restoration of political ;freedom in the Red-ruled satellite states of East Europe, and the i unification of Germany.

Administration authorities fa miliar with the cold war outlook foresaw this acceptable chain of events as the path to a summit meeting in the Swiss city in Sep tember or October: An East-West foreign minis ters meeting in June to help pre pare' essential diplomatic ground work.

House Passes Bill To Spur Housing WASHINGTON (IP) —The House today passed and sent to President Eisenhower Wednesday a $1.85 billion emergency housing bill. The measure aims to revive the GI home loan program and spur the housing industry in general. Initiated by the Senate, the measure won House approval without debate or a record vote. The whole process took one min ute. Backers of lhe bill estimale it could promote the construction of an additional 200.00 Q homes this year and create more than 5Q0.0Q0 jobs. j A threatened floor fight over raising the maximum interest rate: on GI home loans failed to devel op. The measure allows the Presi-! [dent to boost the rate from the i current 4‘i per cent to per cent. The administration had sought a higher Gl rale for two years, contending private lenders ; simply would not supply mort gage money at 4! j per cent. The administration, however, want ed a 5 per cent maximum. Besides trying to lure more pri vate funds into GI mortgages, the housing ill extends the GI pro gram for two years for World War II veterans, to July 25, 1960. It also continues and expands the: program of direct federal loans to veterans buying homes in areas where commercial loan sources are scarce.
