FUND BILLS DELAY
DISTRICT PROPOSAL
Mrs. Norton's Plan for Study
of New Form of Govern
ment Given Committee.

The joint resolution introduced by
Chairman Norton of the House District
Committee for a study by joint COM
mittee of House and Senate of desirable
changes in the form of government for
the National Capital and particularly
regarding the desirability of granting
District residents voting representation
in both House and Senate, has been
referred to the House Rules Committee.
Chairman Pou of the Rules Commit
tee will confer today with some of the
members of his committee to see when
1t will be agreeable to them to consider
this resolution. 1t is probable, however,
that action will be deferred for several
weeks, as the time of the House is allo-
Gated for several weeks, with emergency
relief legislation and the appropriation
bills as the most urgent business. The
Norton resolution will be considered as
soon as 1t can conveniently be fitted
into the House program, members of
the Rules Committee said today.
Mrs. Norton emphasized she had been
led to introduce the resolution by the
numerous petitions presented to Con-
greSS urging a modification in the form
of government in the District, so as to
permit the residents a more authorita-
tive voice in its affairs and manage
ment."
She expressed her own opinion that
much of the substantive law here Is
obsolete and cannot be enforced" and
she feels this joint committee should be
authorized to bring it up to date.
Mrs. Norton said she and many 9TH
ers in Congress have found a great
diversity Of opinion regarding what
form of participation in government

this matter settled once and for ALL to

idents of the National Capital and the
members of Congress, and to relieve

tailed work connected with the duty of
legislating for the municipality on so
many minor matters"

HEARINGS CLOSED
ON CHILD ACTORS
House Subcommittee viii
Report Wednesday-HeIen
Hayes Career Cited.

A report on the proposed amend
ment to the child labor law to permit
children to appear in professional stage
performances here is expected next
Wednesday from the Subcommittee on
Judiciary of the House District Com
mittee.
Hearings were closed yesterday. after
representatives of the District Bar As
ISOLATION, the Washington Board of
Trade, Chamber of Commerce and
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation had testified. All interested
parties were invited by Chairman
Palmisano to present their views in
writing to be included in the steno-
graphic report of the hearing.
The brilliant stage career of Helen
Hayes, who started her dramatic work
while attending the Grover Cleveland
School here, was cited at the hearing
in proof that health, education and
morals of children are not neglected in
the theatrical profession. Stephen E.
Cochran, manager of the National
Theater, presented letter from Miss
Hayes in support of the bill, in which
she said:
II have always felt that in a large
measure owe my position on the stage
To-Day 10 the experience anu Training
that gained as child actress.
From my own observation can truly
say that the stage child Is as well, and
in many cases better, safeguarded in
the way of health, education and morals
than the children in well-to-do homes.
1T is grossly unfair that the theater,
already staggering under SO many ham
dicaps, should suffer a further hardship
by the exclusion, in certain towns and
States, Of plays requiring q child in
the cast"
Mr.. Cochran said the presentation of
educational drama in the District is
seriously handicapped and impaired by
the exclusion provision in the present
law.
Miss Fay Bentley, director of school
attendance and work permits, repre-
senting the Washington Board of Edu-
cation, opposed the bill.

FRIES AND NEARING
IN RUSSIAN DEBATE
Economist Urges Recogni.
tion-GeneraI Opposes
Such an Attitude.

Debating last night with Mai Gen.
Amos A. Fries on the question of dip
lomatic recognition of Russia by this
country, Prof. Scott Nearing, econo-
mist and advocate of world Commu-
nism, laid down three reasons which,
he said, entitle the Soviet to the rec
ignition of the world
Prof. Nearing said the Soviets have
made the following great contributions
to human progress in the past decade:
Three Great Contributions.
/. They have eliminated class dis
tinctionS, reducing the exploiters and
the exploited to common footing.
2. They are now engaged in organic
ing system of planned economy un-
der which the economic life Of the ma
ton is not left to chance and which
is expected to eliminate many Of the
risks and uncertainties experienced in
other countries.
8. They have consistently opposed
war and advocated disarmament and
peace.
Gen. Fries opposed recognition of
Russia by this country, saying repre-
sentatives of the Communist party had
admitted they stood for the right to
advocate the overthrow of other gov
ernmentS by force and the right to
advocate murder and assassination.
Says Stain Is Government.
"You wouldn't take a man into your
home to live if you knew he planned
to assassinate you and your family and
seize your house for. his own purpose, 4"
Gen. Fries declared. so why admit
the Soviet to this country of ours?"
He said the present Russian govern
ment is not truly Communistic, but
rather dictatorship of the proletariat,
and, in the final analysis, Stain.
The debate was sponsored by the
Victor L. Berger National Foundation.
