VOTE FOR DISTRICT
BEGUN BY CITIZENS
Federation Names Commit.
tee of Five to Push Move
for Representation.

Steps to stimulate renewed interes,
in the movement to obtain representa-
tion for the people of the District ir
Congress and In the electoral college
were taken by the Federation of Citi
zens' Associations at it's first Fal
meeting in the boardroom OF the
District Building last night.
The federation adopted a resolution
offered by Delegate George A. Kicker
calling for appointment of a specia
committee Of five members to inquire
into the status of the campaign for
national representation and to recon-
mend ways Of giving greater impetus
to the undertaking.
The resolution, which was carried
by vote Of 81 to 6, read as follows
Seek Systematic Campaign.
Whereas the Feder>sion of Citi
zens' Associations has for some years
been actively aligned with the move
ment for the adoption of an amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States empowering Congress to gran,
the citizens of the District of Colum

CiCSlOld COIlC6e dUu tie Same TlRnlS
AS citizens of the several States be
fore the Federal courts: and
Whereas many of our citizens fee
that greater progress to this enc
should be made through more con
tinuous and systematic action than
at present;
Therefore be 1t resolved by the
Federation of Citizens Associations
in regular meeting assembled this Sd
day of October, 1925, that a special
committee be appointed of not exceed
ing five members, including the presi
dent Of this federation. to inquire into
the present status Of the national rep
resentaion campaign and report back
to the federation, accompanied by
recommendations as to enlarging
systematizing and speeding up the
work of Americanizing the Wash
ingtonian."
Few Oppose Move.
A few delegates expressed opposi
ton to the motion, but the vote was
decisive. The federation has for a
number of years been represented on
tional Representation.
William NICK. Clayton, chairman OF
the committee on utilities, urged the
delegates to keep their respective as
sociations interested in the subject o1
street car merger when Congress
reconvenes. Mr.. Clayton recalled the
passage by the last Congress of 2
bill authorizing voluntary merger. the
terms of which must be approved b,
Congress.
MIR. Clayton indicated to the dele
gates that he was not optimistic oveI
the prospects of a voluntary merger
that would be acceptable, and he pre-
dicted that If such a consolidation j.
not worked out the next Congress will
seriously consider additional legisla
tion designed to bring the compa file.
together.
Delegate George Finch advocated
encouraging motor bus competition
which, he said, would act as an eco
nomic influence to induce the stree
railway lines to merge. There wa.
no action taken on the merger issu.
at last nights meeting.

to strengthen the impression that he
will retire from the cabinet in the
near future, although no information
as to his plans was available either
from Mr.. Weeks himself or in any
other quarter.
|. The War Secretary was luncheon
guest at the White House. He did not
visit his Office. across the street at the
War Department, however. and he put
aside inquiries as to whether he ex-

was compelled to give up active man.
agement Of departmental affairs early
in April, when he suffered an attack
diagnosed as thrombosis, and has not
been at his office since that time.
Still Lacks Strength.
Mr.. Weeks explained the immediate
purpose Of his trip to Washington as
having to do with the necessity of
clearing out his home here, which was
sold during his absence, but which
still contains paintings and other
effects which will be shipped to his
residence in New Hampshire. He ap-
peared to have improved in health
since hi. visit to the President some
weeks ago at Swampscott. but indicat-
ed that he is still lacking in strength.
Discussion as to Mr.. Weeks prob
able successor in the cabinet was re-
vived by his visit. and it included the
names of Acting Secretary Davis. Sec
retary Work. Charles ID. HilleS of New
York and others.
Intentions Are Secret.
Mr.. Weeks intentions have been a
closely guarded secret ever since he
was stricken. Due to his years and
the nature of the attack there was a
general feeling in Army circles at the
time that he would not return to his
desk, and there have been Indications
that members of his family have urged
him to abandon his position. Whether
he still is uncertain as to his ability
physically to take up his duties or
whether he has deferred presenting
his resignation until President Cool
idge could shape his plans for the
cabinet changes it would entail was
not to be learned last night.
Officials at the War Department
were anxious to tender some tribute
to their chief when they learned that
he was back in the Capital. Precau-
tions to keep the Secretary free from
visitors or other excitement by with
holding information as to where he
was staying checkmated their efforts.
They were forced to await his coming
to the department before plans to
send flowers could be carried out.
