A cagey game of who's going tc Washington" engaged the two fac tions of the House of Representative es yesterday afternoon and ended without a score.
 It was to be resumed this morn ing after both sides had had an op- portunity to perfect their play.
 The House did decide, unanimous ly, that it should send representa- tive to conference on civil defense in Washington, D. 0. The confer ence starts February 12.
 The two groups are so evenly matched in voting strength that the loss of a member during the week or more required for the Washing ton trip would be a serious handicap to either side.
 The informal nominations for travelling representative went some thing like this:
 Rep. Barnes, Republican, sug- gested it would be most fitting and proper for Speaker William Egan (DemocraD to go to Washington.
 Speaker Egan Democrat said he thought the head of the Civil De fense Committee of the House (Rep Alden Wilbur, Republican, ought tc make the trip.
 Rep. Stepovich Republican, be- ieved they could spare Rep. Kay OemocraD for a week
 At that point Rep. Franklin chairman of the Committee of the Whole, reminded the members that

STATEHOOD
 BILL AGAIN
 BROUGHT UP

WASHINGTON, Feb. -iR-The Senate Insular Affairs Committee
 will vote Feb. 20 whether to report the Hawaii and Alaska Statehood
 bills without hearings. Chairman OMahoney D-Wyo) announced this today after closed
 door meeting of the committee. Both Statehood bills were passed by the House last year and approv- ed by the committee last year after hearings but the Senate did not act on them.
 O'Mahoney has said he favors
 acting on the two measures this year on the basis of the previous hearings.
 Senator Butler R-Neb), who last year opposed statehood for both territories, has said he wants a
 committee hearing in Alaska. Whites Objections
 O'Mahoney disclosed today receipt of a telegram from Albert White, general counsel of the Republican
 party in Alaska. objecting to pro-
 visions of the Alaska bill relating
 to election of delegates to consti- tutional convention.
 i White said Alaska Republicans are against election of delegates on
 non- partisan basis. He also protested the proposed apportionment of 10 delegates out of the total of 31 to the populous Third Judicial Division.
 "This appears White said in his telegram, to be an effort to stack the convention in favor of the Third Judicial Division most of the popu- lation of which are newcomers and large percentage of whom are transients and whose votes are con- sistently Democratic" The bill provides for nine dele dates to be elected at large and 10 from the Third Division, which in- cludes the city of Anchorage.

.Evicted D. {. Mother,
Six Children Reunited ,
Leave for New Home

Mrs. Ruth Cosner and her six
children were reunited today, and
on their way to a new home in
West Virginia.
The family was broken up last
Wednesday, when Mrs. Cosnerl
was evicted from her apartment
at 1888 D street NE. for non
payment of rent. Four of the
children were taken to the Indus
trial Home School Annex. Mrs.
Cosner and her youngest child,
Darrell, 4, and oldest. Patricia. IA,
moved in with a neighbor, Mrs.
Sally Ames. 1735 D street NE.
Even before she was dispos-
sessed because she could not pay
the $75-a-month rent and still
feed and clothe her children, Mrs.
Cosner had been looking for a
cheaper place so she could keep
the family together. Her hus-
band left her about month ago,
she said.
NeighbOrS Aid in Hunt.
Neighbors joined the house
hunting search, but with no sue
cess. Too many children, most
landlords complained.
Yesterday, however. Mrs. Cosner
was called by West Virginia rela-
tives of her husband. They said
they had a house for her large
enough to take the whole family
Mrs. Cosner was so happy she
didn't know what to do" Mrs.
Ames said. 1.-The family was so
close and it was so hard on all of
them to be separated"
Mrs. Ames said the separation
had been particularly hard on
Connie. 10, whose birthday party
had been interrupted by arrival
of a deputy United States mar
shal with the eviction order. The 4
girl had refused to touch a piece /
of birthday cake when told she
would have to leave her mother
for awhile.
Chest Shortages Cited.
The plight of Mrs. Cosner
pointed up the hardships caused
when the Community Chest cam
paign fell short of it's goal last
year. The Chest-supported Fam
lily Service Association was only |
able to help with what amounted
to a weeks rent, forestalling evic-
ton few days longer. Other
agencies resources were too limit
ed to help in any material way 4
Mrs. Cosner said.
Mrs Cosner went to the In
dustrial Home School annex early 4
this morning and got her children.
Then the seven of them took a bus
for West Virginia.

FATE'S DATE
BY BOB CARTER

Perfect drivers are very rare,
And most don't even seem to care
The best drive safe and sound,
But others arc careless and trag-
edy bound.
Here is the story of hotrod guy
Who discovered an easy way to
die:
He musta thought in his mind
That he was in an aeroplane,
Till he woke up to find
That he had hit a strcamlincd
train.
He lived two minutes after the
wreck,
With his body torn all to heck,
And never again will he make
such a blunder,
Cause now he's resting six feet
under.
