Not only was it one of the
most delicious luncheons but
it achieved a new high in ar
tistic effect. The first course Of
luscious fresh fruit, including
blackberries, strawberries and
melon balls. was served from
platters which had on them
baskets shaped from honeydew
melons, with bouquets of pink
roses. from the Grosner gar
6ens, tied to the handles. In
these baskets was the mayon-
naise. Next followed cups of
steaming hot chicken nd
noodle soup. The main course
was a full head of lettuce hol-
lowed out and filled with
chicken salad. Dainty rolls and
coffee accompanied this course.
The dessert was cherry ice cream
in meringue glace, topped off
with whipped cream and a
whole cherry.
Some of the guests remained

PRESS BALLOT
PLEA IN HOUSE
Judiciary Commit
tee Hearings Open
By JULIA BONwIT

0y JULIA OOIN"1A
The legislative battle for a vote
and local self-government for the
people Of the District began in
Congress today.
In q crowded committee room
virtually the entire membership Of
the House Judiciary Committee
heard District Commissioners
George e. Allen and representa-
tive Of the citizens joint commit
tee on national representation ap
peal for elimination Of "injuStices'
and for substitution Of q system
giving the District equal right
with the States.
The appeal was led by Commits
Eloner Allen, who alluded to the
injustice and unbusiness like and
anomalous situation" arising from
the fact that the washington
citizens have no voice in the Ma
tional government and are gov
erned locally by the win OF the
National Congress.
SOLD ON IDEA
ever since coming to live In
Washington" he told the COM
rittee, ''and my Learning OF the
peculiar political condition exist
ing here, I have been thorough
" sold on the idea that resi-
dents of the District OF Co
lumbia are as much entitled to
voting representation in the
government of the United States
as are people Of any State"
Gas my acquaintance with
District of Columbia affairs has
increased" this conviction has
become more thoroughly rooted.
My service as District Com
missioner has afforded me ex-
cellent opportunity for noting
the many disadvantages under
which the District Of Columbia
labors by reason Of its lack OF
participation in the councils OF
the Nation in the same manner
as enjoyed by the citizens OF
the States. There Is no COM
munity in my opinion so handi-
capped through denial Of these
fundamental American rights as
Is the District Of Columbia"
IMPROVEMENT BY VOTE.
Commissioner Allen con-
tinued:
"Our local government no
doubt can be improved, as is
probably true of any local gov.
eminent, but in my opinion,
e there can be no really worth

District of Columbia is granted
