'Tt is possible, however, that
this meeting will be the first OF

It was learned that Chrysler
and Lewis came to Lansing
against their will. They urged the
Governor to hold the conference
in New York or Washington, pref
erably New York, but Murphy
thought the proper place was un-
der the capitol dome in Lansing.

Representative Norton Explains
While the committee was in
executive session, Representative
Mary T. Norton CD of New Jer-
sey, chairman of the committee
and author of the bill, issued a
statement explaining her position
in the matter.
She explained that when she
introduced the bill she was of the
opinion, and still is, that mot
only are the people of the Dis
trict entitled to witness horse rae
ing within the District without
having to travel is or 20 miles to
the adjoining State of Maryland,
but the District Government be-
ing in dire need of revenue should
receive this revenue instead of
presenting it to the State of Mary
land"
She added:
Further, I considered the
fact that since the unemplOy-
ment situation is very serious
here, a track would furnish con-
siderable employment and help
to alleviate some most distress
ing conditions. Certainly no
person believes that legaliZing
a race track would encourage
more gambling than exists here
Illegally at the present time"
This bill was reported from
the committee in open session
after record vote. Since
then all we have heard is that
the bill was railrOaded through
the committee. am thoroughly
tired not only of the charge
of railrOading this bill but of
all the other charges that have
been made since this bill was
reported.
DENIES "RAILROADING"
81 feel safe in assuming that
the only ground for the charges
of raiIrOading is that hearings
were not held on the bill. 1t
was not considered necessary
to repeat hearings held last
year as the bill was practically
the same las that of last SeS-
SiOn) and the hearings avail
able"
She said that her only inter.
est in District legislation is to
carry out the wish of the majority
of the people in the city, adding
"Since this bill was reported
out have received a number
of letters from organizations
here in the District in OppO-
SitiOn to the establishment of
race track here, creating
some doubt in my mind that
the majority of the people want
a track at this time.
ANOTHER CHANCE
"This is the first time in my
experience that a bill has been
opposed not on its merits. If a
referendum could be had on
the bill it would be the most
satisfactory method of diSpOS-
ing of the matter. Since that
is not possible let us at least
try to be fair-minded.
