VISITORS TO LEARN
D. C. HAS NO VOTE
Literature, Movies and Radio
to Be Used in Drive
During Inaugural.

While Washingtonians today were
celebrating the 197th birthday ami
versary of the first President and busi.y
preparing for the inaugural Of the
thirty-first President, plans were taking
shape to call the attention of inaugura-
ton visitors to the voteless condition
of the District of Columbia.
The citizens joint committee on ma
tional representation has cleared for ac-
ton in that direction. Its members feel
that the presence here of tens of thou
sands of enfranchised Americans is all
ideal moment to remind the country of
the humiliating plight of 100000 dis
franchised fellow citizens. To that end
short, but vigorous campaign of edu-
cation is to be waged. It will extend
from March l to March 5.
Operations will center at one of the
most prominent downtown corners of
the Capital the National Press Build
ing. at Fourteenth ana F street. The
National Press Club Building Corpora
tion, through John Joy Edison, Its chair
man, has offered the national repre-
sentation committee the free use Of
the spacious and stiil vacant store at
the busy corner. Mr.. Edison is an active
member of the committee and taking
a leading part in pending plans.
It Is estimated that during the in
augurai week end practically every vis-
itor at some time or other viii pass the
National Press Building. There they
viii see capacious windows attractively
emblazoned with the story of voteless
Washington. Inside they will find COM
mitteewomen and committeeman ready
to tell in persuasive terms the story Of
Washington's political wrongs and its
demands for political rights.
Volunteer Services.
Prominent women's organizations at
the instigation of the Voteless League of
Women Voters, have volunteered their
services as hosteSses. Tea will be served
daily to all callers. An information bu-
reau will supply information not only
about national representation for the
District of Columbia, but about any
thing else visitors may wish to know.
1t Is planned to circulate intensively
some Illuminating national representa-
ton campaign literature. This will de-
scribe tersely and informatively what
it is that voteless Washingtonians do
not possess, along with their more for
tunate citizens in the States, and ex-
actly what it is they are determined to
obtain.
VIII Narrate Status.
The literature in particular will mar
rate the congressional status of the
situation-the constitutional amend
ment that is pending before the House
and the Senate, and the hearings thai
have been held on it. The basic idea
is to send inaugural visitors home witt,
full knowledge of the injustice under
which their fellow Americans here are
compelled to suffer.
Those two modern twin methods oi
public information-the movies and the
radio-aIso are to be utilized. We'll
known Washingtonians will go on the
air between March and and "tell
the world" of the Districts suffrage
woes. Every motion picture house In
the Capital will run series of screened
slogans putting in popular language the
story of Washington's crusade for q
political square deal.

MRS. HESSELBACH'S TRIO.

The members of the Friday Morning
Music Club were afforded an unusually
attractive morning of music yesterday
when Alice Burbage Hesselbach,
pianist whose authoritative ability has
long since been firmly established here,
with Maoel Duncan. cellist, and Elsa
Raner, yiolinist-Doth artists frequently
heard in programs in the Capital-pre-
sented a program featuring two tries.
The first was Brahms Trio in c minor,
opus 10l." the second Arensky's Trio
in D minor, opus 80" Too much praise
cannot be given the three artists for
the obviously thorough drilling and
preparation which they seem to have
given to these works before presenting
them in public. Also. although all three
are soloists of individuality, the en-
semble blend of the three instruments
was admirable. Their rchearsals. OH
an average of once week. must utilize
considerable mental and physical en-
ergy to achieve such results The ap-
pearance of the trio yesterday marked
their public debut as an ensemble. 1t
is TO b, hoped that they will make
many more appearances.
Prior to the playing of the Brahms
work Mrs. Hesselbach gave short ex-
plandlOry IaIk III WHICH she SET IOrJn
a few facts about the type of work
they were presenting and also pointed
out some characteristics of the works
of Brahms. In her own playing there
was no doubt whatsoever that Mrs. Hes
selbach approaches the works of this
master with profound respect. The
other two artists followed in her lead.
In this Trio in C Minor" the queer
moodiness of tone of the second move
ment and the luscious poetry of the
rounded phrases of the third move
ment were especially marked and re-
ceived with enthusiasm by the audience.
In the more modern and cleverly
brilliant trio by Arensky. Mrs.
HesSelbach'S virtuoSity at the piano with
many smooth runs and chromatics ap-
peared to special advantage, and there
also was more spectacular writing here
for the violin. OF the two trios, though
not the more intricately perfect in the
union of the three instruments, this
latter trio undoubtedly found the
more responsive understanding and ia
vor from the audience Yesterday 1t fur
nished excellent contrast to the heavier
Brahms work
A pleasant interlude was given be-
tween the two trios when Miss Raner
showed rounded tone and skillful
technique to advantage in Bach's ia
miliar Air for G String" HF.

DETENTION HOUSE
CHANGE DISCUSSED
Temporary Location in U. S.
Hotels on Union Station
Plaza Considered.

Temporary location of the House of
Detention in the Government Hotels
on Union Station plaza is one of the
solutions being discussed by the Dis
tr1ct Commissioners, who are compelled
to move the detention home from its
present location, 908 B street southwest.
by January 81.
The matter was brought UP at a
night meeting of the board lasting from
until IL O'Clock yesterday, the first
night meeting held for many years. 1t
is understood that no final conclusions
have been reached, but Lieut.. Nina
Van Wrinkle, in charge of the Women's
Bureau of the Police Department, has
been making the arrangements. The
consent of most of the Federal officers
who must be consulted about the change
is said to have been obtained.
Stay Would Be Temporary.
The stay in the Government hotels
would only be until other temporary
quarters can be obtained The final
solution of the matter, which Is several
years distant. will come when the House
of Detention is finally moved into its
allotted space in the proposed munich
pal center.
The Commissioners, as a result of an
equity suit brought by neighbors of the
present location of the House of De-
tention. have been ordered by Justice
Jennings Bailey Of District Supreme
Court to vacate the premises by January
81. 1t is not thought possible to find
any solution other than the Govern
ment Hotel site spoken of in the Is
| days Of grace remaining.
Commissioners Testify.
The whole matter was marking time
today while the Commissioners and sew
eral department officials including the
major and superintendent of police, ad-
journed to the Capitol to testify before
the District subcommittee of the House
appropriation committee on the appro-
priation bill for the next fiscal year.
The meeting last night while devoted
partly to discussing the house of de-
tention site, was called for the purpose
of discussing testimony to be given be-
fore the committee and refreshing the
Commissioners recollection of the rea-
sons for asking for the various items
in the bill. All three Assistant Engineer
Commissioners, George S. Wilson. of the
Board of Public Welfare and Daniel j.
Donovan. District auditor and budget
officer, were present.

BROOKHART BILL
COMES UP TODAY
Senate Committee to Con-
slider Salary Measure
This Afternoon.

Moving with promptness. the Senate
civil service committee will meet at
o'clock this afternoon to take up the
bill introduced two days ago by Sem
ator Brookhart, Republican. of Iowa to
raise salaries of Government employees
to the level they would have received if
the bill approved by the Senate last year
had been enacted.
Inasmuch as the Brookhart bill is
substantially the same as the one the
Senate committee supported at the last
session of Congress, it is more than
likely the measure now under considera-
ton will be reported favorably at this
time.
w. H. McReynolds, assistant chief OF
the Bureau of Efficiency and one of the
officials most familiar with the classifi-
cation of salaries in the Government
service, has been requested to attend
the committee meeting this afternoon
to explain to members of the Senate
the probable cost of the increases pro-
vided for in the Brookhart bill.
since the principals OH WiuCA tI1e
Brookhart bill are based were gone into
at length when the WEIGH law was be-
ing drafted at the last session, there is
a possibility that the Senate committee
may take some definite action today.
The calling of netting for this aft
ernoon is in line with the prediction
Yesterday by Senator Dale, Republican
of Vermont, chairman of the commit
tee, that the bill would be considered
without delay.
The chief aim of the Brookhart bill
is to give the majority of classified en-
ployes an increase of two salary steps
within their grades above what they re-
ceived prior to the WEIGH law. Those
who were moved up one step by the
WEIGH law would get only one addition
al stem under the Brookhart bill.
