Stennis, Chavez
Oppose Moves
From District

The growing trend to move
Federal agencies out of WASH
ington came under fire today
from two Senators.
Senator Stennis, Democrat Of
Mississippi, took the floor to warn
that he will vigorously oppose
the extra $40 million which the
CHA has indicated it wants on
top of the $46 million already
authorized by Congress for its
new headquarters now slated for
a site at Langley. Va.
Senate Public Works Com
mittee Chairman Chavez told
his colleagues that he knows
what Senator Stennis is talking
about. He charged that in his
opinion too many Government
agencies now located in the Dis
trict want to go elsewhere.
Calls for Better Showing
Pointing out that a Senate
Public Works Committee has To-
handle most Of these big proj-
ects, especially lease-purchaSo
programs. Senator Chavez said
that before the Government
agencies get any more out OF
the Public Works COMMITTEES
they'll have to make a better
showing than they have so far"
Senator Chavez cited the Geo.
logical Survey and a National
Bureau Of Standards among
agencies that are planning to
get out OF Washington.
Senator Chavez indicated that
his committee is asking all Gov
ernment agencies for a report on
the amount of vacant property
they own in the District. He
found no fault, however, with
the growing trend to do away
with the old temporary buildings
lresorted to during World War ]
and World War II.
i Senator Stennis opened his
discussion on the floor by say
ling that he had handled the
funds for the new CHA building
last year as chairman of the
Senate Appropriations Subconl-
Imittee in charge.
Referring to the testimony Of
director Allen Dulles, of CHA,
before a House Appropriations
Isubcommitte asking for an adj
Iditional $40 million, Senator
lStennis sal dhe was Shocked"
He said he agreed with the
designation of the great CHA
project as "the little Pentagon."
}, II strongly favor ornamental
buildings in the Capitol Hill
area" the Mississippian said,
because it properly added dig
/ nifty to the headquarters Of the
Nation"
But he charged that expan-
sion of the CHA fund for building
out in the country was lavish
expenditure"

WATER PLAYED a

WATER PLAYED a part,
too, in the Drummer Boy of
Little Falls" During the Rev.
olution, a drummer boy was
on his way to a muster on the
Virginia side Of the Potomac.
This ghost differed from the
coachman. When the coach
man crossed the bridge, there
was no rattle of trappings or
clatter of hooves-the coach
glided across silently.
The drummer boy, on the
other hand, was not seen. But
when the time was right, the
inhabitants swore, they could
hear the muted roll of his
drums.
The "Headless Man of K
Street Bridge" was a different
breed. His origin was hard to
pin down. but he was there
to scare the wits out of any,
one who CHANGED to cross the
bridge at the wrong-or, for
the ghost, the right-time.
Some said he lost his head
to the law for a heinouS
crime, and some said he lost
it in battle. But whatever
his history, he was as real to
early Washington as the
drummer boy and the coach
man.
Haunted houses once were
SO numerous in Washington
that it would be impossible to
list them all. They were diff
ferent from the firm ghosts
like the coachman, drummer
boy and headlesS man. 1t was
seldom known whose spirit
inhabited a haunted house
all that was necessary was for
the house to be empty, and
the spirit would appear.
1t would be nice to have a
good ghost or haunted house
around today to tame down
some of the other frightening
things.

The
Rambler
Hardly Ever See
Ghosts Any More
By JACK JONAS

What this town needs is a
good old-fashioned ghost or
haunted house.
There was enough basis for
one some time back. That was
when there was all that furry
about tearing down some
of the extensively restored
homes near the Capitol to i'm
prove its vista.
AS everyone bemoaned the
fate of the houses, a story
was passed around concern
ing early occupants of one
of the homes.
This house had been built
as a wedding present. On the
day of the wedding the young
couple moved in. That night
the bridegroom disappeared
and was not seen again. His
bride lived on in the house for
some so years.
But nobody picked this up
and made anything like a
ghostly legend out of it. No
body bothered even to Specu-
late much on what might
have happened to the BRIDE
groom.
This may have been because
it was a bright afternoon, and
not the eerie hour when night
meets morning, the only
proper time for ghosts to be
born. But it seems more logi-
cal that romance has lost its
battle with reality.

Cards Conquer
Southpow Jinx
To Take Lead
By the Associated Press

II National League managers
want some free advice, they can
forget about the southpaw jinx
which has wrecked the Cardi-
nails in recent years.
The st. Louis club is no longer
ia patsy for lefthanders-not
even when it faces Warren
SPAIN at his best. The Car
dinals were in first place today
after beating SPAIN and the
Braves. 20. behind Tom Pohol-
sky and two relief artists last
night. and their Al record
against lefthanded pitchers is re-
ISponsible.
For the last several years, all
Ia pitcher had to do to beat the
Red Birds was to throw from
the wrong side. This season, OPP
posing managers have started
five southpaws in nine games
against Fred Hutchinson's pre-
Idominantly lefthanded hitting
crew. Only one, Cincinnati's Joe
Nuxhall on opening day, has
been able to go the route, and
the Cards only loss to q left
handler was to Milwaukee's Lou
Sleater In relief.
Last year the Cards plummeted
to seventh place largely because
Of their 29-46 record against
southpaws.
No Hitter Until Seventh
The Braves couldn't blame
SPAIN as they tumbled from
first to third place, a game be-
hind the second-place Dodgers.
For six and two-thirds in
nings, all the Redbirds could get
of the veteran southpaw was
q walk to Stan Musial in the
first inning. Then, just as the
gathering Of 5000 smallest
crowd since the Braves shifted
to Milwaukee-began to think
seriously of a no-hitter, the
Cards came up with the only
three hits they got of SPAIN.
Ken Boyer rifled a single Oh
Third Baseman Ed Mathews
glove and Rip Repulski and
Wally Moon singled to give st.
Louis a 10 lead. SPAIN went
out for a pinch-hitter in the
eighth, and the Cards added an
insurance run off Sleater in the
ninth on Red Schoendienst's sin
gle, a sacrifice. a flelder's choice
and Johnny Logan's tumble Of
Joe Frazier's grounder.
Poholsky, a Highlander who
allowed all of Milwaukee's seven
hits, went the first eight innings.

Ramos and Wynn
TongIe in Fight
For Third Place
BY BURTON HAWKINS

Inc senators, VINO ruined
Cleveland's pennant aspirations
in the process of being Hattened
themselves last season, will at
tempt to climb to the unfamiliar
atmosphere of third place at
Griffith Stadium tonight when
the Indians invade for the first
of two night games.
Cleveland, current occupant
of third place, will fire the &C
complished Early Wynn in the
Is o'clock game. The Senators
will counter with Pedro Ramos
three-hit conqueror of the Red
Sox in his lone start. Wynn
whipped Detroit on a five-hitter
in his first start, then followed
up with a four-hit triumph over
Kansas City.
Ramos, 81 years old last Sat-
Iurday, never has started against
the Indians but in six relief ap-
Ipearances against them last sea-
son as a rookie he left an in
delible impression. He won two
lost none, and finished with q
remarkable 1.20 earned-run av-
erage.
The Indians possess the leagues
leading hitter in Vic WertZ
seeking at a .447 clip. Vic, re-
covered from polio attack last
year, also is pacing the clouters
with five home runs.
No InferiOrity Complex
Washington's surprising group
hardly will be nursing an in
feriority complex. Last year,
when the Senators absorbed a
brutal beating from six other
clubs while being tossed into the
basement, they compiled a 1873
record against Cleveland. Since
the Indians wound up only three
games back Of pennant-winning
New York, those losses to the
Senators were particularly gall
ing.
Catcher Clint Courtney, hob
bled by a pulled leg muscle for
several days, may be available
tonight. If so, the Senators
lineup will contain five members
who are hitting .306 or better.
Karl Olson is top man at .404,
while Courtney is batting 1886,
Pete Runnels 1859, Jim Lemon
1851 and Jerry Snyder .306.
Those who aren't in that cate
CORY have other items to recon-
mend them. Ed Yost has walked
10 times in Is games and leads
both leagues in scoring. Dick
Tettelbach has thumped across
nine runs to place him on the
fringe of the leaders in that
phase. And Roy Sievers also has
batted across nine runs and has
belted three home runs.
Fans Still Hesitant
Despite that productivity, the
fans have been hesitant about
becoming infatuated with the
Senators. It's a reasonable re-
luctance, since eight of Wash
Iington's Is games have been
against no more formidable
opposition than the Orioles.
It's against the oncomine
Western clubs that the Senators
must prove themselves. So fal
they're trailing last years home
attendance. which is evidence
that the customers anticipate
collapse against more rugged
foes.
If the Senators continue to re-
main around the 500 level, OF
improve on that, the turnstiles
will whirl. After watching nine
straight Second-division clubs
fans here will welcome anything
resembling a winner.
