Most controversial of his measures (and certain to run into heavy congressional opposition) was his demand for laws "resting on the fullest constitutional authority of the Federal Government" to prohibit discrimination in housing sales or rentals.

The bill now goes to a Senate-House conference. ¶ Refused, by voice vote in the Senate, to prohibit use of U.S. Information Agency funds to film the life story of the President or any other Government official. Republican Senator John J. Williams of Delaware offered the amendment after revealing that about $80,000 of the propaganda agency's funds already have been spent to make a movie variously called...
