year as economic conditions
Justify.
The House Banking Commit
tee several weeks ago recon-
mended a bill which would have
authorized $4,000 units in each
of three years. OF this number,
10000 a year would have been
for elderly persons.
But the Rules Committee had
never cleared that bill for floor
action. After a public hearing
yesterday, the Rules group
granted a rule under which the
Widnall compromise will be Of
fered as a substitute. Repre-
sentative Smith of Virginia,
Rules chairman, called it las
tight a gag rule" as could be
drafted.

IL Will prevent opponents of
public housing from moving to
strike out or change that part
of the bill. It also bars the Gus
tomary motion to recommit with
instructions, which ordinarily
would have permitted a separate
vote on public housing.
There were reports also that
an effort would be made to in
duce the Senate to accept the
House compromise without send
ing the more liberal Senate
measure through a conference
committee.
But Senator Sparkman, DEM
Iocrat of Alabama. in charge of

'HousingAcfion

End Of Session
BY J. A. O'LEARY

House leaders took a big step
toward adjournment of Congress
this week when they freed the
housing bill from a roadblock
that has held it in the Rules
Committee.
All signs last night pointed to
a windup of the session by Friday
might. In addition to the hous-
ing. bill, action will be required
on the following major issues:
/. The SAL billion foreign aid
appropriation bill. on which the
Senate has postponed voting
until Tuesday. 1t then will go
to conference for final adjust
ment with the smaller House
bill.
2. The administrations civil
rights program. The bill is ready
for House vote tomorrow, but
it faces the threat of a filibuster
in the Senate. Observers agree
it has little chance there if Con-
gress adjourns before the polit-
ical conventions.
3. Two general appropriation
bills. one carrying a big military
public works program, and the
other providing money for gov
eminent atomic power plants
The military construction bill is
tied in with fight over a bill
which President Eisenhower We
toed last week because it sought
to give congressional commit
tees a voice in carrying out the
projects. The atomic appropria-
ton bill also must await House
action Tuesday on a bill author
izing the reactor program.

Doubtful Judge Convicts
Driver in FotoIity

Municipal Court Judge Edward
A. Beard yesterday convicted a
man charged with negligent
homicide although, Judge Beard
said he was dubious of his de-
ciSion.
Found guilty of the traffic
death on February 20 of Mrs.
Annie Newbold. IS, of the 1900

Carl 1. Sanderson, 80. of the 1400
block of University lane, Hyatts-

Judge Beard imposed a SEN
tence of $50 fine or 80 days in
Jail.
The Judge indicated he was
reluctant to make his finding in
the light of a recent Municipal
Court of Appeals decisions The
appellate decision said, in effect,
the Government must prove its
case by corroborative evidence
other than statements by a de-
PENDANT.
But Assistant United States
Attorney Forbes Blair pressed
the point that recent Supreme

Court decisions (Smith and OPP
per versus United States) say
the Government may prove the
offense through the statements
or admissions by a defendant.
The Governments case yester-
day was based on statements by
Mr. Sanderson which indicated
that he saw Mrs. Newbold, but
too late. There were no other
witnesses to the accident.
Mrs. Newbold was walking east
across Seventeenth street at the
intersection Of P street NV.
Mr.. Sanderson's car struck the
pedestrian as he turned left onto
Seventeenth street NV. Police
found 4 feet Of skid marks in
the crosswalk. The Government
used the evidence of the skid
marks in support of its case.
Defense Attorney j. Ambrose
Kiley noted an appeal. Judge
Beard said he hoped Mr.. Kiley
would appeal the case because
he felt there was some danger
in the Supreme Court decision.

hope of proving they're as good
as the seventh-place Senators.

The Senators have faced
Brewer twice and amassed five

only to lose, 81, when their own
pitching collapsed. On the other
occasion they smacked him
around for five runs, chased him
IN the second inning and lost
that one, too, 1873.
The Yankees, 81a games in

to see the Senators continue

In Hospital

CINCINNATI, Aug. 10 P).-
Hershell Freeman, star relief
pitcher who has a 1914 record
for the Redlegs, remained in
Christ Hospital for observation
as the Redlegs left last night
for a four-game series with
Milwaukee.
DR.. George Ballou, team ply
sician. said Freeman may get
out today or it may be several
days"
The physician said he could
not make any definite statement
about the injury Freeman suf-
fered in the eighth inning of
yesterdays game with the Cubs
There are several possibilities, u
he said.
"He snapped his neck pretty
good" DR.. Ballou said, adding
that X-rays proved essentially
negative"
Freeman suffered temporary
blindness in attempting to field
Ernie Banks infield single. He
complained of a sharp pain in
the back of his neck and blurred
vision in his right eye.
Preliminary observation indi-
Gated a bruised neck muscle, and
DR.. Ballou said this was one OF
the possibilities.
Earlier, Gene Baker, Cubs
second baseman, was released
from the same hospital where
he had been treated for con-
cussion and cuts received in
Wednesday nights Redlegs-Cubs
game.
Baker. who was hit in the head
by one of Pitcher Johnny Kliup-
STEMS fast balls, returned to
Chicago last night with the
team. 1t will be up to the club
to determine when he can get
back into play, DR.. Ballou said
