Gutenberg in which it announced
that "for years we have supported
the principle that the residents
of the District of Columbia are
citizens Of the United States md

The organization pointed out
that through its activities, its rep
resentativeS must from time to
time seek enactment Of legisla-

UNION STATEMENT
"In this respect" the state
ment went on to say, 1--WE have
been hampered by the fact that
in the Congress which is the
legislative body controlling the
destiny Of the residents of Wash
ington, we have no one to go
to who is primarily interested
in all the needs Of the District,
or who is responsible to the
residents Of the District"
Mrs. Gutenberg submitted a

opposition.
STUNNED BALLOT
Mr.. Ayers discussed the plebis
cite at great length, informing the
committee that he had advised op-
ponentS of suffrage to stay away
from the ballot boxes.
The reason for this action, he
said, was so that his group
would" in no way be responsible
for claims made by the propo-
nents in view Of the fact that
everything was unofficial and
outside the law"
Although balloting was con

 III. Uniform Auditing, Account ing and Reporting of Public Funds:

 Realizing that each year more than ten thousand children-depen- dent, defective and delinquent-look to the state of Connecticut for the help which their families cannot give them, we pledge the party to support legislation which will equip the State adequately to meet the needs of these children, and specifically:-
 1. For delinquent children, B statewide juvenile court. with full time judges and probation staff chosen on merit basis;
 2. For dependent children, such legislation as will make 1t possible to receive available federal funds, and thereby to keep more depend ent children In family homes;
 3. For mentally defective chill dren. a state plan for their super. vision which will ensure adequate training and protection;
 4. For neglected children, state supervision and authority, so that a continuous plan for the care and training of these children may be evolved.
