Stobbs Due to Pitch
Today Against Reds
By Burton Hawkins
Ssor Stoff Correspondent

TAMPA, Fla, Mar. 1s.-The
stumbling Senators. defeated
nine times by an assortment of
six major league teams. get a
shot at four other clubs in their
next five games while seeking
their first 1854 victory. In fact.
they're hoping to end their
string OF defeats here today at
the expense Of Cincinnati.
They'll shift to st. Petersburg
tomorrow to tangle with the st.
Louis Cardinals, meet the De-
troit Tigers Sunday at Orlando,
take a day off, then face the
Phillies in two games. Out Of
all that activity they're conf
dent of producing results which
will indicate they're not as futile
as their current winless record
would suggest.
The Washington clubs hit
ting has been toned up a trifle,
even if it hasn't paid any divi-
dends. The Senators have
amassed IL runs in their last
two games, but those runs have
been wasted by pitching sud-
denly gone sour.
Stobbs Back in Action.
Chuck Stobbs, who suffered a
damaged finger in his only start
against the Athletics last Satur-
day. will pitch against the Red
legs today. He's due to travel
five innings, with Dean Stone
slated to mop up unless one or
both are pounded too soundly.
Stone hasn't permitted a hit in
his last 52s innings against the
Yankees and Dodgers.

Athletics, twice by the Dodgers

KnowIand Sees Bill
On Statehood PASSING

Senate Republican Leader
Knowland predicted today a
statehood bill will become law
this year despite the reluctance
of the House to include Alaska
along with Hawaii.
Senator Knowland said the
question did not come up at the
weekly meeting of congressional
leaders at the White House this
morning, but he has not given
up hope the problem will be
settled at this session.
The California Republican
pointed out that the Senate still
has a separate statehood bill for
Alaska on its calendar and could
send that to the House if the
House insists on considering the
two Territories separately.
The House voted in favor of
Hawaii last year, but the Senate
tied Alaska to the Hawaiian bill.
Senator Knowland said he has
not had time to consult his col
leagues on the suggestion of Gov.
Heintzleman of Alaska that only
the inhabited lower portion of
that Territory be included in an
Alaskan State. The California
Senator said, however, that APP
proach might meet part of the
objection that the entire Terri
tory of Alaska could not support

Martin and KnowIand
Are Optimistic About
Public Housing Plan

Senate Republican Leader
Knowland said today he believes
the Senate will be more liberal
in its action on the Presidents
public housing program than
the House was last week.
House Speaker Martin predict
ed at the same time that the
House will approve 35,000-unit
public housing program for the
1856 fiscal year II that is voted
by the Senate.
The House last week left the
way clear for $4,000 homes to
be built during the IL months
starting July but later knocked
out of a general housing bill
any provision for public housing
in the following 1856 fiscal year.
Speaker Martin said it was
almost traditional for the House
to eliminate public housing and
then approve such provisions
restored by the Senate.
IT think we can secure enough
votes to put the one-year pro-
gram through If we have the
chance and Democrats who be-
lieve in public housing will sup
port it," Mr.. Martin said.
President Eisenhower has
asked for a 4-year extension of
the housing program, with 1000
housing units to be built each
year during that period. Mr..
Martin said he believed a one
year program was all that could
be gotten through the House.
Senator Knowland and Speak
er Martin discussed the housing
problem with reporters after con-
fering with President Eisenhower
and other Republican Congress
sional leaders at the White
House on the legislative schedule.
