Home Owner Bill Mirrors
Sen. Percy as Go-Getter
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
Washington Correspondent
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
_ .. WASHINGTON (NEA)
The current launching of Illinois Sen. Charles Percy’s bill
to spread home ownership in the crumbling, poverty-ridden
areas of U.S. cities contains some hard lessons for his high
stepping Republican competitors in the political arena.
The proposal is one he first laid out in his 1966 campaign.
It is instructive to note how this already well-publicized
freshman senator went about translating his plan into leg
islation that might catch the public eye.
Before January was out, Percy himself had 27 GOP cospon
sors joining him in a ringing call for a fresh look at urban
housing and other problems — with considerable stress on
home ownership for poor people.
In the intervening weeks, he has worked assiduously to en
large the prospect for his bill and rivet public gaze on it.
Among those personally consulted and wooed by the sena
tor:
Senators Wallace Bennett of Utah and John Tower of Tex
as, ranking Republicans on the committee and subcommittee
which must approve the legislation.
House minority leader Gerald Ford and New Jersey Rep.
William Widnall, ranking Republican on the key House com
mittee involved (Banking and Currency, as in the Senate).
Widnall is House sponsor of the measure.
That still is not the end of it. Percy has solicited the co-op
eration of UAW President Walter Reuther, Negro leaders,
housing people and other groups. Many of his speaking dates
underscore Percy’s focus on the controversial housing field.
Percy is keeping it carefully clear who is at the root of it
all, while at the same time working in close harness with the
GOP Senate-House establishment to enlist support and convey
his willingness to spread to the party whatever credit accrues.
Democratic congressional leaders will be in no hurry to
make Percy and the Republicans look good. The senator’s
plan nevertheless may lure a lot of lawmakers who are fed
up with public housing and other massive, costly assaults on
the urban problem.
Under Percy’s bill a private National Home Ownership
Foundation would be formed to assist local associations in re
habilitating or building low-cost housing for ownership in
poor areas. Federally guaranteed bonds would supply the key
financing, with the foundation empowered to issue these un to
a maximum |2 billion.
The foundation would help get things started with $3 mil
lion in construction seed money and would have $lO million
to subsidize part of the home owner’s interest costs.
The participating local associations would screen appli
cants carefully in quest for responsible prospects-These lat
ter could contribute “sweat equity” by working on their own
houses. Where required or desired, homeowners could be
steered toward programs to enhance their job skills and their
capacity to manage and maintain their homes.
With this inventive measure, Percy has shown his talent
for conceiving a bright legislative showpiece. The effort to
make it a law will be a harder test of his abilities—now much
talked of in the context of the 1968 presidential race.
Rail, Truck
Disputes Near
Deadlocks
WASHINGTON (UPl>—Labor
disputes in the trucking and
railroad industries appeared
today to be nearing the
deadlock stage that could bring
nationwide shutdowns and pro
voke government intervention.
Immediate attention centered
on the Teamsters Union, which
was expected to report the
results of a membership vote on
a contract proposal negotiated
with the trucking Industry after
a series of strikes and an
industry lockout two weeks ago.
Sources said that inconclusive
returns were running 3 to 1
against accepting the contract.
Rejection, which would require
a two-thirds no vote, would
necessitate further negotiations,
opening’ the door to another
round of strikes and lockouts.
The Senate Labor Committee,
meantime, failed in an all-day
session to get any movement at
all in the contract impasse

Tuesday, April 25, 1967
between six shopcraft unions
and a group of railroads
handling 95 per cent of the
nation’s service. The unions are
threatening to strike May 3.
After discussion that showed
the obvious distaste of the
committee’s members for
government intervention, the
committee admonished both
sides in a unanimous resolution
to keep looking for a solution.
The resolution said the
railroads and unions "owe it to
the national interest and securi
ty promptly to settle their
dispute through collective bar
gaining.”
“It’s really up to you now,”
warned Sen. Robert F. Kenne
dy, D-N.Y. “Either you’re going
to settle or you're going to have
legislation.”
The teamster dispute is still
in a more manageable stage
than the railroad crisis. If
either side should create a work
stoppage, the administration
could seek a Taft-Hartley
injunction ordering an 80-day no
strike period on the grounds a
national emergency was being
caused by the trucking shut
down.
Similar measures applicable
to the railroads have been
exhausted. The government
would have no recourse but to
seek congressional action in the
event of a strike there.
Last Hours Os Life For
Cosmonaut A Nightmare
By EDWARD K. DELONG
United Press International
SPACE CENTER, Houston
(UPI) —The last four hours of
Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Ko
marov’s life were a nightmare
—his spacecraft tumbling out of
control, his communications
with earth poor. The tumbling
probably caused his crash
landing and death.
This was revealed Monday by
an internal Soviet news broad
cast, monitored in the United
States, and by U.S. officials in
Washington.
Later Monday night an
English language broadcast
from Russia said Komarov was
ordered to return to earth but
had trouble following the order.
The first broadcast said
Komarov’s Soyuz 1 craft was
plagued during its last hours by
control problems, communica
tions difficulties and too much
fuel use.
High Speed Crash
After one unsuccessful at
tempt, the broadcast said, the
Soyuz 1 craft finally started
back toward earth successfully.
But it crashed into the ground
at high speed because its
parachute did not open com
pletely and slow it down.
In Washington, official sour
ces said the spacecraft’s end
over-end tumbling apparently
snarled the lines on its descent
parachute and kept the para
chute from opening fully.
One source said Komarov
smashed into the earth at some
300 miles an hour.
“We have established that the
spacecraft encountered difficul
ties right along, particularly in
the latter portion of the flight,”
a high authority said.
Tumbling Chute
“We think Komarov tried to
bring it down in the 16th orbit
and was unsuccessful. The very
probable reason for the trouble
with the ‘chute was tumbling.”
The Russian broadcast, moni
tored in California by Joseph
Zygielbaum, an expert on Soviet
space activities, confirmed the
unsuccessful landing attempt
and gave more details about
Komarov’s troubles.
Zygielbaum, whose Terra-
Space Corp, ferrets out details
of Soviet technology for U.S.
firms from Russian broadcast
and publications, translated the
broadcast and relayed it to
United Press International in a
telephone interview.
He said he recorded it about 8
a.m. PST (11 am. EST)
Monday at 11.72 megacycles. He
said the broadcast was filled
with static, but could be
translated with fair accuracy
despite the interference.
Russia’s Control Cen*er
The Russian broadcast said
its Information came from
Baikonur, the Soviet equivalent
of America’s mission control
center in Houston.
“The flight control center at
Baikonur reported communica
tions difficulties in the 15th and
16th passes,” the broadcast
said.
“There is a certain amount of
difficulty in respect to the
attitude control of the space
craft in relation to the earth
(apparently a reference to the
tumbling).
“However, a second attempt
after the 18th orbit for re
entering the dense atmosphere
of earth was successful.
“A malfunction of the main
parachute system has resulted
in the fact that the parachute
did not open completely and did
not slow the spacecraft down to
the desired rate of descent.
“The spacecraft crashed in a
hilly (or rilling) landscape with
full force of re-entry.”
Zygielbaum said the broad
cast identified the Soyuz 1 crash
site only as “somewhere in
Central Asia.”
