The Board OF Trade has on sew
eral occasions Endorsed the aims and
the specific proposals of the commit
tee. - Briefly stated. this board
has declared its discomfort with the
fact that the Capital City of this
Nation. which the capital city of any
other self-governing country of the
world, is not a part of the Nation,
in that the people who reside here,
you and I, have no representation
in the Congress, no Senator, no
member of the House of Representa-
tives. and no voice in the election
of the President and Vice President.
You have considered this often
before. but you have been compelled
by the necessity of dealing with
practical issues such as overcrowded
schools, unpaved streets, under
manned courts and police and un-
fair taxation, which press for at
tention, to give only part of your
attention to this fundamental defect
in our system of government, though
you know as we'll as I that a correc-
ton of it would help to correct every
other civic i'll from which we suffer.
You know 1t is everlastingly true
that only a sound tree bears good
fruit and that many of our particu-
lar civic troubles trace back to the
fact that we are a subject people
living under the only tyranny which
still exists in the continental United
States"
Francis G. Addison, jr., retiring
president of the Board of Trade,
presided at the meeting and ex-
pressed appreciation to the other
officers and committee chairmen
for their cooperative efforts dur
ing his term.
Cites met Worth" Increase"
Mr.. Addison announced that the
met worth" of 59,716.7l evidenced
March 81 represented an increase
of $9,798.61 during II months Of
the boards fiscal year, which ends
tomorrow.
A brief account of the Greater
National Capital Committees ac-
tivities was presented by the chair
man, Edgar Morris. Mr.. Morris ex-
pressed satisfaction with the man
ner in which the recent cherry
blossom festival had drawn visitors
to the Capital by counteracting a
widespread impression in other
cities that construction of the
Thomas Jefferson Memorial had oc-
casioned destruction of all the Jap
anese cherry trees here.
The committee currently is en-
gagged in efforts to draw New York
Worlds Fair visitors to Washington
on their way to or from the ex-
position, Mr.. Morris stated. He
introduced Thomas j. Groom, chair
man of the committees fund
raising campaign, who appealed for
support Of the drive.
The meeting was entertained by
Drs. Phillips Thomas and Samuel
j.. Hibben, research engineers OF
the Westinghouse Electric & Manu-
featuring Co., who gave a series
of demonstrations of new develop
ments in the field of electricity.
Chemically made cold light
"polarized light" for elimination
of glare, radiations used for sterili-
zation, black light" capable Of pro-
ducing glow from gas-filled tubes
and various other manifestations
of radiation were displayed by the
researchers.
Most striking demonstration was
the death ray" lamp, the effect OF
which was shown through projec-
ton Of the magnified image of q
germ filled drop of water upon q
screen.
