Pointing out the imposSibility Of
enacting suffrage legislation at
this session, which will close some
time next week, the Texan, never
theless said he was anxious to
clear up several constitutional
points in an effort to pave the way
for legislation during the next
Congress.
Representative Summers said he

amendment, to set up a form Of

REPEAL PRIVILEGE
The only limitation, he added,
is the fact that Congress will
never create a government over
which it does not exercise the
control of repeal.
Concerning local suffrage, Rep
resentatiVe Summers stated:
The right to vote is a funda-
mental one in the United States.
It is even more fundamental
than the Constitution"
The Judiciary Committees hear
