Professor s. w. Mead, OF the Uni

This is particularly true because Of
the limited number of good cows

of the increasing number Of reAric-

VANDENBERG ASKS
D. c. VOTE CENSUS
Believes Query, "Do You Vote
Outside of District?"
Would Yield Data.

Following up the suggestion he ad-
vanced during recent hearings at the
Capitol, Senator Vandenberg. Republi-
can, of Michigan has written to
Director of the Census William NJ
Steuart, recommending that the forth
coming census be used as a mean of as
certaining how many Washingtonians
vote in some State and how many are
disfranchised.
Senator Vandenberg believes this data
could be obtained by merely adding one
question to the census schedule in
Washington. namely, do you vote out
side the District?" or similar query
Senator Vandenberg's letter to DR.
Steuart follows:
my dear DR.. Steuart:
ST respectfully suggest that you give
consideration to the advisability of using
the next census in the District OF
Columbia for the purpose of determin-
ing the precise suffrage status in the
District. This is a subject of constant
debate and it will be progressively en-
phatic as the suffrage movement in the
District carries on.
"It occurs to me that it would be
extremely worthwhile If one additional
question should be asked when the peo-
pie in the District are counted; namely
DO YOU vote outside the District?' (Or
words to that effect. I respectfully
submit the suggestion for whatever ii
may be worth and leave the matter to
your judgment"
When the census bill was being
drafted, along with the reapportionment
measure, in the Senate commerce COM
mittee a short time ago Senator Wand
enberg asked DR.. Steuart whether this
information could be gathered in con-
nection with the census. The director
replied that it could be under the
pending bill, pointing out that under
the measure the questions to go on the
schedule are left to the discretion oi
the director Answering another ques-
ton at that time, DR.. Steuart agreed
1t would not be called an expensive
thing to do in the District"
Senator Vandenberg has indicated
that he made the suggestion because

Chairman of D. c. Appropria-
tions Subcommittee Looks
for Approval of Purchase.
ESTIMATE TO BE SOUGHT
FROM BUDGET BUREAU
Conference of House Members Is
Reported Favorable to Immedi-
ate Acquisition of Property.

The prospect is that the present extra
session Of Congress will authorize i'm
mediate purchase of the four city
squares north of Pennsylvania avenue,
between Third and Sixth streets, as the
site for the new municipal center. with
funds already available in the Treasury
as an accumulated surplus from District
taxes. Chairman Simmons of the sub
committee on District appropriations
announced today.
Mr.. Simmons had appeared before
conference of what would be the
deficiency subcommittee of the House
appropriations committee were that
committee organized. This conference
was held to consider various urgent
deficiency appropriation estimates on
which action must be taken at the
present extra session.
1t is probable that decisions of this
informal subcommittee will be taken
before the House under unanimous
consent request, although it will be pos
sible to get a special rule through the
rules committee if necessary.
Following the conference, Mr.. Sim
mons said he found members of the
appropriation committee agreeable to
his proposal that the site for the mu-
nicipal center be purchased at once as
an emergency need by use of the ac-
cumulated surplus from District taxes.
He will now ask the Budget Bureau to
submit definite estimate for this to
the appropriations committee.
Previously, Mr. Simmons had re-
Trained from seeking such an estimate
from the Budget Bureau until he could
learn the attitude of the appropriations
committee. He is now convinced that
the appropriation will be authorized so
that the new municipal center site can
be purchased at once.

G. O.P. MAY ADVISE
ON D. C. PATRONAGE
Local Leaders Are Expected
to Play Big Part in Max
ing Awards.
BY ]. RUSSELL YOUNG.

1t became increasingly apparent to-
day that the Republican organization
in the District Of Columbia is to have
considerable more voice in the filling
of local Federal positions than it has
had for some time in the past.
1t is known that President Hoover
is we'll aware of the quality of the
men and women who comprise the
party leadership in this city and of
the effective work the organization did
in helping to bring about his election
last November. Because of the Presi-
dents familiarity with the local situa-
ton, the impression about the White
House is that he will seek advice and
suggestions from them and otherwise
give every recognition in making ap-
pointments In the District in the future.
Leaders Confer With Hoover.
The subject of local patronage was
discussed at the White House today
during a conference between the Presi-
dent and Samuel j. Prescott, chairman
OF the Republlcan State committee IN
and for the District of Columbia, and
Edward F. Colladay, Republican ma
tiOnal committeeman for the District.
These two local leaders declined after
ward to discuss the conference other
than to say that they went over the
local political situation in Washington
and took occasion to remind the Presi-
dent that they and other leaders of the
city could be counted upon for fullest
support and cooperation. They also
mentioned briefly the work done by
the local Republican organization dur
ing the last national campaign.
Despite the fact that Chairman Pres
colt and Committeeman Colladay were
noncommittal regarding their confer
ence with the President, expressions
indicated that they were leaving the
White House in happy frame Of mind.
In other words, these two leaders, who
for some time have been hearing criti-
cism of their organization for its ap-
parent inability to obtain any of the
presidential plums, gave every outward

4ONE-MAN' DISTRICT
RULE IS PROPOSED
Gibson and Bowman Plan to
Introduce Bill at Regu-
lar Session.

A "one-nan government for the
District of Columbia, with the incum-
bent an administrative officer who
would be over the Commissioners, and
who possibly would have the privilege
of the floor in Congress, will be pro-
vided in bill to be offered in the
House at the December session of Con-
gress, it was disclosed today by Rep
resentative Gibson, Republican, of Ver-
mont, chairman of the special Subcom-
mittee that has made a comprehensive
survey of the municipal administra-
ton.
Bowman Expected to Act.
Representative Bowman. Republican,
of West Virginia, probably will intro
duce the bill, Mr.. Gibson said, as he
has been making a special study of
this question, but he will have the CO.
operation and advice of MIR. Gibson.
The legislative drafting service has
been asked to prepare this bill during
the recess of Congress, Mr.. Gibson said.
Answering questions as to whether
this meant vacating the Board of
District Commissioners as it now exists,
Mr.. Gibson explained that the present
thought is to allow three Commissioners
to continue their activities as at present
JO IledQ up IIlS iIlOIc important
branches of the municipal administra-
tion, but with a man of extraordinary
ability and responsibility to be adminis-
trative officer on much the same plane
as cabinet officer.
Would Pay $4,000 Salary.
Mr.. Gibson is in favor of including
in the bill provision for salary of not
less than 900. SO that the very best
talent in the country could be obtained
as executive officer for the National
Capital. He believes that in this way
such man as former President
Coolidge, who has taken deep interest
in the uphuilding of the National
Capital, could be induced to bring his
wide experience and influence to bear
for a more efficient administration of
the National Capital.
THE people of the District of Colum-
bia should have a representative on the
floor of Congress to look after their
many interests" said Mr.. Gibson today.
He thought that possibly the pro-
posed administrative officer with au-
tohrity to make decisions under the
laws of Congress for the conduct of
municipal affairs, might be given the
privilege of the floor.
He said that the details of the pro-
posed bill not yet have been worked out.
but that both Mr.. Bowman and himself
are seeking the best counsel in prepara-
ton for pushing this measure in the
December session.
