By the Associated Press.

By the ASSOCIATED Press.
A new census bill providing for In
clusion of an unemployment survey In
the 1890 census was placed before the
Senate commerce committee today by
Chairman Jones and Endorsed by Sec
rotary Lamont of the Department OF
Commerce. - ,ss' +<- e
This measure of Senator Jones also
would set the date for the taking OF the
census as of November / rather than
May l. as was proposed in the bill
passed last session by the House.
Appearing before the committee, Sec
rotary Lamont also looked farorably on
the November date, which has been the
subject of much controversy.
Mr.. Lamont and Senator Vsndenberg,
Republican, of Michigan said most Of
the farm organizations had urged the
November date in preference to May.
The census bill Is included In the
administration program for the extra
session, and Senator Jones indicated an
intention to get the measure speedily
before the Senate. -
William M. Steuart. director Of the
census. supported the views Of Secretary
Lamont on the unemployment survey.
The bill taken up today by the Sem
ate committee provides that the 1880
census shall include population, agricul-
ture, irrigation, drainage, distribution,
unemployment and mines.
Representative johnson, Republican,
of Washington. chairman of the House
immigration committee, asked that the
1880 survey include the gathering Of
data showing the racial descent Of the
population, but MIR. Steuart opposed this
step.

Plea FOR D. c. VOTE
OVER WRC TONIGHT
New Campaign to Be Pushed
Vigorously During list
Congress Sessions.

As the first step in Q vigorous new
campaign for national representation for
the District of Columbia drNing the
sessions Of the new Seyenty-frst Con-
gress. the voteless plight of the people
of the National Capital viii be de-
scribed in a series of radio talks over
WRC. beginning at 8 o'clock tonight.
Arrangements for this and three other
programs have been made with the
National Broadcasting Co. by the Cit
liens Joint Committee for National
Representation.
While it is not expected that the
present special session of Congress will
find an opportunity of dealing with the
question OF representation for the Dis
trict, the radio campaign Is being
planned by the citizens committee as
a preliminary to an intensive, drive to
be conducted next Winter when the
new Congress will meet in regular Ses-
sion for the first time.
Educational Value Stressed.
The purpose of the present campaign
Is to acouaint Congress-and especially
the 81 new members--with the fact that
the people of washington not only have
no voice in Congress-, which makes their
laws, but are prevented from voting for
President and Vice President.
The speakers will point out the way
TO remedy this anomalous situation,
through the adoption era constitutional
amendment, as advocated by the cit
liens committee.
The proposed amendment would give
the people Of this city the right to vote
for President and Vice President and
to have members Of their own choosing
in the House and Senate. It would not
deprive Congress Of the exclusive juris-
diction which 1t now exercises over the
District, or disturb the plan Of local
government.
The speakers on tonight's program
which will last half an hour, will be
Paul e. Lesh and Jesse c. Suter. Mr.
Lesh is vice president Of the City Club
and chairman Of the subcommittee on
speakers of the citizens joint commit
tee on national representation. He is
also one of the representatives Of the
Washington Board Of Trade on the citi-
zens' committee.
Second Program Arranged.
Mr.. Suter is vice chairman Of the
dent of the Federation Of Citizens As
sociations and the first president Of the
citizens advisory council.
The second program arranged by the
citizens joint committee will be given
on Saturday night, April 20, from $50
o'clock to 8 o'clock Two other pro-
grams are scheduled, one for Thursday
night. April IS, from o'clock to $50
O'Clock, and one on Saturday night
April 81. from $40 o'clock to O'Clock
The National Broadcasting Co. offer
ed its facilities for this campaign TO the
citizens joint committee through WRC
The offer was made by Frank NJ. Rus
sell, vice president of the N. B. c.
When the offer was accepted, Mr.
Russell further announced that the
facilities of the National Broadcasting
Co. would be available to the citizens
committee to carry forward the drive
next Fall. -e-.

BILL GIVEN SENATE
Automatic Reseating Meas.
ure Is Reintroduced by
vandenberg.

The bill to provide for automatic
reapportionment Of the House Of
Representatives after each decennial
census whenever Congress fails to act
independently was reintroduced In the
Senate this afternoon by Senator Van.
denberg, Republican, Of Michigan, who
10 leading the movement to have this
legislation enacted at the present
session.
tn. measure Is the same in principle
as the Fem bill, which died on the
Senate calendar after II had passed the
House in the last Congress. The
phraseology Of several sections has been
changed, however. Instead of naming
a House membership Of ass, 1t provides
for the existing number" And in
stead Of designating the method known
as major fractions" II provides for the
method used In the last preceding
apportionment."
Senator Vandenberg explained that
the new measure does not depart from
the Fem proposal TO hold the House
membership to ass, but accommodates
the bill to o change In the limit, II and
when some future Congress decides to
change the number.
The Michigan Senator emphasized
that the measure Is not q specific

Of working out the apportionment. Sen
ator vandenberg's purpose Is TO avoid
identifying as permanent any one
method OF working out the apportion-
ment, thus leaving the door open for
adoption Of the best method known at
any given time.
The bill win be referred to the COM
merce committee, which Is expected to
report it out soon. Although reappor-
tionment concerns primarily the House,
Senator Vandenberg 10 contending tbs
Senate should act now and send the
measure to the House, because the
Senate has failed twice In recent Con-
crosses to act on the same question
after the House had passed similar bills
