BY JESSE C. SUTER.

~ UT for the bare possibility
- of a special session in the
~ fall the Seventy-fifth Con-
IL gress has passed into his
tory. A final check-up discloses
far more District legislation enact
ed than was expected. A number
Of pieces of constructive legislation
were enacted in the last session.
Some of these were long overdue
for enactment and will clear the
way for civic leaders to concen-
trate on others equally long de-
ferred and badly needed. There
has been some bitter with the
sweet, as, for instance, the repeal
Of the 60-40 law, but it had long
been imperative. The law putting
the District on parity with the
States under the highway act and
under the P. w. A. appears to be,
in measure, at least, fair ex-
change.
AS a new Congress will meet in
January it will be necessary for all
pending District bills and resolu-
tions to be reintroduced, If they are
to be considered. Nearly all Of
these have not had committee con-
sideration. A few bills have passed
one house, but have had no COM
mittee action in the other. In the
new Congress there will surely be a
crop of entirely new measures Of
fered. in addition to the introduc-
ton of those left over.
Now is the time for the civic
groups to begin planning for what
legislation will be supported next
winter. Careful planning and a
united front on important items
would be helpful in getting results.
While the attitude of some Of the
Districts legislators is to ignore
local desires, there are some
friends of the District in both
House and Senate who are always
anxious to know the local con-
sensus.
At the eleventh hour the taxi
cab liability bill was recalled by the
Senate and passed in the form ap-
proved by the House. There was
keen disappointment at the pros
pect of the failure of the bill to
get through the end-of- the session
jam. Civic leaders held on to the
hope that the conferees would
reach an agreement and kept at it
until the last. The bill in either
form would have protected the pub
lie, but other considerations were
permitted to supplant the public
interests.
Three civic events marked the
week. On Wednesday the extern
sion of New Hampshire avenue into
Maryland was observed by appro-
pirate ceremony. On Thursday the
Montgomery County Civic Fedora
ton held its annual banquet and
presented The Evening Star Cup
to a committee of three for out
standing civic service. On Friday
some of the neighbors from nearby
Virginia joined District officials
and civic leaders in celebrating the
opening of the new Chain Bridge.
The Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations held its final meeting of
the season on June 4, but some of
its committees are planning to do
some important work during the
summer in preparation for the re-
sumption of activities in the fall.
The calendar was pretty we'll
cleared up before reaching the
adjournment for the summer.

Civic Problems, Civic Bodies
Seyenty-Fifth Congress Enacts Far More District
Legislation Than Expected; National
Representation Still Foremost Need.

~ 10 Icdlly sLHnge tnaI q S1Cua-
tion created by an oversight should
be permitted to continue for more
than a century. The preponderance
OF local sentiment favors curing
this defect in District of Columbia
citizenship without further delay.
Proponents are confident that If
Congress can be induced to view
our plight in light of American
principles, no time would be lost in
giving the States an opportunity
to vote on the required amend
ment. With that hurdle passed,
there is equal confidence that the
Legislatures Of the States would
ratify the amendment promptly.
Public Defender Proposal
Renewed by Judge Curran.
The new Juvenile Court law,
Small Claims Court, Lunacy Com
mission and the increase in the
personnel of the courts are all
achievements of the third session of
the Seventy-f1fth Congress. They
mark changes in procedure that
promise more speedy and equitable
administration of justice. Repre-
sented in this group Of laws are
reforms long urged by many citi-
zens.
One other proposal which was
advanced during this Congress pro-
vides for the creation of the Office
Of public defender. This encount-
cred opposition OF some members of
the legal fraternity, who claimed
that the method of having the
court assign counsel for those I'M
able to employ counsel covered the
requirements adequately.
Attention has just been called to
this proposal through an address
delivered by Judge Edward M.
Curran of the Police Court before
section Of the Women's Bar Asso-
citation. Based on his experience,
he knows that there is a real neces-
sity for this reform in court prac-
tice. He is seconded in his views by
Judge Nathan Cayton of the NUM-
cipal Court and proponent of the
Small Claims Court The Small
Claims Court has already justified
its creation and has converted
many doubling Thomases. There
is every reason to believe that the
public defender would prove to be
an equally valuable innovation.
To those who would object to the
idea Of the Government employing
both a prosecutor and a defender,
advocates of this reform point to
the fact that the Government is
only seeking justice. The Govern
ment has no desire to convict and
punish the innocent any more than
to turn the guilty loose.
These judges are in a position
to see defendants convicted and
punished simply because they are
without funds to employ counsel
for defense. The indicationse are
that there will be given serious
study by the civic groups of the
plan to have a public defender. 1t
is method which is reported to be
working we'll elsewhere and its in
PRODUCTION here will not in any way
be using the District as an expert
mental laboratory.

the weight of one is twice that of his
brother. Where one animal is puny
and underdeveloped, the second is
fat and sleek and full of vitality.
What has produced such a differ
ence in weight and general physical
well-being? Merely a slight differ
ence in diet. The two rats have
lived under identically the same
conditions, but the smaller animal
on the left has received food lack
ing in sufficient vitamins, while the
other rat has been fed the same diet,
reinforced with vitamins.
If a well-balanced food ration is
vital to the health of animals, how
much more vital it must be for
human beings. Surely the lesson is
plain to see. If a mother wants her
children to thrive she must feed
them adequately. The child who Is
receiving a diet lacking in vitamins
has no chance to grow and develop
properly. Nor will the adult on de-
ficient diet attain or maintain opti-
mum health.
