House judiciary Committee
Urged to LET Freedom Ring"

Voteless petitioners for funda-
mental American rights were ac-
corded a courteous hearing by the
Committee on the Judiciary OF the
House of Representatives on the
mornings of May 18, 10 and 20.
The attendance of members of the
committee was large and a keen
interest shown in the presentation
of the case by the representatives
of the several groups of citizens.
The arguments and evidence pre-
sented by the principal spokesmen
for the proponents of both the Nor
ton and the Randolph joint reso-
lutions were satisfying to the
assembled representatives of or
ganized civic Washington. With
dignity and force the facts were
driven home in way well calcu-
lated to convince anyone holding
to American ideals that the cause
is just and that there is no sound
reason to longer delaying to Let
Freedom Ring"
The opposition was largely indi-
vidual and based on objection to
the Negro being given the right to
vote. Much of the time of the
opposition was given to complaint
at the amount of space given by
the newspapers to the advocates
of the AmericaniZation of the
Washingtonian and the small
amount of space given the op-
ponents.
From a fundamental American
viewpoint, there was no evidence
worthy of consideration against the
granting of national representation
to the residents Of the District.
Aside from any local consideration.

Putting District on Equality
With Other Municipalities.

The Senate District Committee
has reported to the Senate a bill
to put the District on an equality
with other municipalities as to
P. w. A. loans, grants and repay
ments. Under existing law the Dis
trict was placed on an arbitrary
limitation of $10,750,0O0, of which
it has received $6.375,000. This has
been on a 80 per cent grant and
70 per cent loan. The District has
been required to repay the loan at
the rate of $1,000,000 per year.
The later law permits other mu-
inequalities to receive allotments on
the As per cent grant and SIS per
cent loan. This later legislation
was not applicable to the District.
Other communities are given as
long as 20 years for repayments.
The pending bill will correct this
inequity.

TRADE BODY GIVES
RECREAT|ONV|EWS
Committee Report Adopted
Backing King Plan With
Amendments.

The position Of the Board Of Trade
with respect to the problem Of con-
solidating and unifying recreational
personnel and facilities in the District
of Columbia was defined by its Board
of Directors recently in adopting the
report of special committee named
to consider the King bill to establish
q Recreation Board.
Some months ago. when Chairman
King Of the Senate District Committee
introduced his Recreation Board
measure. the Board of Trade in
structed It's Committee on Public
Schools and Parks and Reservations to
make studies of the recreation problem
Groups Disagree.
Subsequently, 1t developed the two
committees disagreed on several i'm
portant points, and the Board of
Trade ordered new study and report
by Special Committee. This group
conducted an inquiry and recently
submitted its recommendations to the
Board of Directors.
4IlC ulCIuUCIo VI Vic kOpSSlhA Noiii-
mittee were Joseph c. McGarraghy,
chairman of the Law and Legislation
Committee, who acted as chairman;
George E. Keneipp, chairman of the
Public Schools Committee; Capt.
Chester Wells, chairman Of the Parks
and Reservations unit; John Remon,
chairman of the River and Harbor
Improvement Committee, and Clarence
Miller, chairman of the Aviation Com
mittee.
The report recommended first, that
the recreation facilities of the Dis
trict should be administered by one
agency, and second, that the agency
should be separate board or commits
sion whose sole function would be the
administration of recreation facilities.
The committees report was in sup
port of the King bill in general, but
several amendments to the measure
were suggested.
Suggested Changes.
The committee suggested that the
President of the Board Of Education
be named as the representative Of the
school system on the proposed Recre-
alton Board instead of the superin-
tendent of schools, as provided in the
King measure.
1t also urged that five citizen men,
bers be named to the board, rather
than one. and that they be appointed
by the justices of District Court in
stead of the Commissioners, as pro-
vided in the King bill
Several other minor changes were
recommended, including one which
would give the title of superintendent
to the chief executive officer of the
board The pending bill calls for the
chief executive officer to be known as
co-ordinator of recreation.

BY JESSE c. SUTER.

Y UNUSUAL activity in District
legislation marked the past
week on Capitol Hill in
~ an attempt by both the
House and Senate District Com
mittees to clear their calendars Of
important or pressing items. The
House on Monday, which under
the rules was District day, had
before it the wages and hours
bill, but Chairman Palmisano on
Wednesday under unanimous con-
sent was able to call up and obtain
the passage of IL bills and in
addition approve Senate amend
ments to the barber shop and
beauty shop bills which were
passed by the House last session.
These bills and the bill to mod
ernize and humanize lunacy pro-
cedure have gone to the President.
Not to be outdone by the House
committee, the Senate District
Committee on Tuesday, in three
hour session, approved Is pending
measures. Among the more i'm
portant bills reported to the Sem
ate were that enabling the Alley
Dwelling Authority to obtain ad-
vances from the Federal Housing
Authority and the one to place the
District on an equal footing with
the States for P. w. A. loans.
Despite the unfavorable and illog-
ical report of the District Com
missioners, the committee reported
favorably the bill to name the
Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge over
the Anacostia River after John
Philip Sousa.
Five of the bills passed Wednes-
day by the House and requiring
Senate action are already on the
Senate calendar. The indications
are that District legislation cleared
before adjournment of the Seventy
fifth Congress will exceed earlier
expectations.
Among the organizations there is
a continued letting down for the
summer. On next Saturday night
the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations will hold its last stated
meeting of the season. The indl-
cations are that much of its calen-
dar will be completed at this final
meeting.
The Board of Trade celebrated
the close of its active season with
the annual shad-bake at Bay Ridge,
Md, on Saturday the 21st. Some
of its committees will function
during the summer, but most OF
the work until fall will be Of
routine nature and be performed
by the office staff.
The annual meeting of the Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs early
in the week elected new officers to
serve for the ensuing three years
and wound up its activities for the
season.
The Society of Natives Of the
District of Columbia elected new
corps of officers and voted to sub
stitute an outing in place OF a
June meeting. The outing will be
the last event OF the society until
its meeting in October.

Civic Problems, Civic Bodies
Senate and House Speed District Legislation;
The Suffrage Hearings; Allen Resignation
Results in Many Candidates.

District residents were shown to
be entitled to voting representation
in the House of Representatives
and the Senate, to vote for presi-
dental electors and to have the
same rights to sue and be sued in
the United States Courts as pos
sessed by residents of the States
and aliens.
AS usual, it was pointed out that
this is the Governments work.
shop and therefore should of neces-
sity be under the control of the
Federal Government. The ma
tional representation proposal, it
was pointed out, would in no way
conflict with such Government con-
troll, but would simply enable the
District residents, as part of the
Government, to exercise frac-
tional part of that control.
All participants were well pleased
with the happy manner in which
the chairman, Representative Hat
ton w. Summers of Texas, conduct
ed the hearing. His questions
guided witnesses in bringing out
pertinent facts and his quaint
humor kept both proponents and
their adversaries smiling.
The problem in a nutshell is,
shall the constitution be so amend
ed as to empower Congress to make
American citizens of District resi-
dents and shall the Constitution be
amended so as to grant Congress
the authority, If it so desires, to
delegate some of the exclusive pow
ers of legislation over the District
to a locally body?
A favorable report of the commit
tee, which would embody the prin-
ciples covered in these proposals,
would go a long way to encourage
the proponents to push the matter
vigorously when the Seventy-sixth
Congress convenes next winter.
This is the most vital problem con-
fronting the District and it should
be solved now,

House of Representatives
Passes q Number of Bills.

In addition to those mentioned
above the House on Wednesday
passed other bills. some of which
are of special interest. Among the
most important was that autheriz-
ing the Alley Dwelling Authority
to accept the offer of the Federal
Housing Authority to lend from
$1O,000000 to $15,000,000 for low
rent housing on terms similar to
those elsewhere. And to author
ize loans by the U. S. Treasury to
the A. D. A. at prevailing Federal
interest rates to carry forward its
own slum clearance program. The
bill also will enable the A. D. A. to
acquire land to erect low-rent
dwellings substantially equal in
number to those dwellings it demol-
ishes in squares not adapted to low
rent housing.
Passage of the bill providing a
five-day, 60-hour week for the Dis
trict Fire Department encountered
the vigorous opposition Of Chairman
Collins of the District Appropria-
tions Subcommittee. It is claimed
that this bill will require an addi-
tional expenditure of a half million
dollars and will open the way to
similar legislation for the Police
Department at a further cost Of one
million dollars. It is predicted that
this bill will encounter serious
opposition in the Senate District
Committee.
The fair trade practice bill. in
cluded in Wednesdays crop. Is not
known to have had any local sup
port. 1t proposes to require retail
ers to adhere to the price on trade
marked articles and commodities as
fixed by the manufacturer. There
is understood to be some organized
objection to this bill which will be
presented to the Senate Committee.
Another bill will permit the MEM
bers of the Metropolitan and Park
Police forces to retire voluntarily
at the age of IS after a service OF
rs years.
The remaining bills passed were
as follows: To correct an error IN
the recent District tax bill to save
the District from a loss estimated
at 100000; to modernize the
zoning law, expected to be held up
in the Senate; to tighten the local
narcotic law; to extend the time
for construction Of viaducts con-
Meeting the Brentwood road with
T street and New York avenue; to
change the name of Daniel road
to Oregon avenue and the present
Oregon avenue to Swami street
and to exempt from taxation prop

Resignation of Allen
Produces Flock of Candidates.

AV~AoSSS AONn VI S"AsuANsSVSos
The unexpected resignation Of
District Commissioner George E.
Allen has stirred up the candidates
for appointment to that Office.
Some of those mentioned are old
warhorses who always bob up
whenever there is vacancy among
the city fathers. The number Of
women mentioned for the Office
this item is greater than ever be-
fore.
While some of the local organi-
cations have suggested the names
of persons they would like to see
fill the Office the general attitude
of these groups has been of urging
the appointment of genuine
Washington acquainted with our
problems and qualified profession
ally as an executive and one who
has been identified as a worker for
Washington.
Once more there has been a sug-
gestion that the President be re-
quested to submit several names
for the reaction of the citizens.
Another suggestion Of long ago has
also been made, that an election
be held and the name of the per-
son elected be submitted to the
President.
This latter idea was supported
by official action of the Federation
Of Citizens Associations during the
Wilson administration in July,
1917. A committee was formed to
solve the election problem involved.
and the Federation adopted rules
for conducting a primary.
Before carrying the project into
execution the Federation asked the
President to allow the District to
hold such primary. After await
ing few days for his views the
Federation was advised that the
carrying out of such a plan would
embarrass the President.
Just before the serious illness of
President Wilson a committee of
three, representing the Federation,
had a very pleasant interview with
him regarding appointments of Dis
trict Commissioners. The commit
tee mentioned the names of several
who had been suggested for the Of
flee and rendered their aid to the
President in any way desired to
assist him in making a selection
which would be pleasing to the cit
liens of the District. His illness, 1t
was believed. prevented carrying
the matter further.
Regarding the present list of
candidates as carried in the press it
appears to be the consensus in the
civic groups that few would be able
to muster substantial vote if the
position was to be filled by ballot.
The law requires that civilian
Commissioners shall at the time
of their appointment be citizens Of
the United States and shall have
been actual residents of the District
of Columbia for three years next
before their appointment and have,
during that period, claimed resi-
dence nowhere else"
