New urban housing bill signed
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Carter administration's first new urban program was signed into law yesterday, promising to address the housing crisis and their poor and unemployed residents.
The $14.7-billion housing bill includes an expansion of the Community Development program, emphasizing older cities, more affordable homes, and rent subsidies for poor families.
The rent subsidies and added financial aid to hard-pressed cities will help an additional 345,000 families find housing at rents they need. The department of Housing and Urban Development.
AT THE SAME TIME, administration officials estimated the measure would provide half a million jobs in construction
and related industries where unemployment rates are the highest.
On the beaks of his eye-opening tour last week of the South Bronx, President Jimmy Carter said that the legislation would allow cities to improve urban living conditions.
"The bill is a big improvement in giving more attention to the older, central cities," Richard Nathan, urban expert at the Brookings Institute, said. "It will help a lot of big northern cities, but also the inner suburbs and more than a few Sunbelt."
NEW ELEMENTS in the community development program include a 400-million Urban Action Grant fund for spurring job creation, and other troubled cities. The bill includes a formula
that drastically increases federal aid to cities in the Northeast and the Midwest but also provides a small amount of money for growing cities in the South and West.
"Carter said his visit to the South Bronx added stumps that are "a disgrace to our city," he said.
Ghetto-marked cities like New York, Detroit and Baltimore will receive millions of dollars more under the Carter housing bill than they were to receive under the expiring law.
THE HOUSING and community development bill, the product of a two-month conference between the House and Senate, extends the community development program and funds cities for projects and funds it with a total of $10.9 billion, $2.4 billion increase.

House panel backs pay reform
WASHINGTON (UPI) — A House committee yesterday, with little visible opposition, approved legislation to change the congress pay increase for themselves.

The proposed "Congressional Pay Raise Deferral Act" sailed through the House Post Office and Civil Service Committee on a voice vote seven months after all members of Congress received a 29 per cent pay boost, lifting their salaries to $87,500 a year.
That increase has been recommended by a special federal pay commission, and it
Lame-duck Rep. Charles Whalen, R-Ohio, a leading sponsor of the bill and critic of the last pay raise, urged his colleagues to shift from being the rector, the public's confidence in Congress.
