Once the Summers resolution gets
before the House indications are
strong it will be adopted and sent to
the Senate. The Democrats now in
control of Congress nailed a plank
in their party platform in Chicago
favoring District suffrage. House
Minority Leader Martin virtually
pledged the 167 Republican votes in
the House to a satisfactory" suf-
frage plan late yesterday.
"Of course every Democrat will
vote for suffrage for the District,
and most of the Republicans will
join them," predicted Mr.. Martin.
Casting partisan politics aside
Representative Martin said:
Il sympathize with the demands
of the people of the District in their
desire to participate in govern
mental affairs. There Is no reason
why they should not have a vote
like other citizens of the country.
Il am confident II the Democrats
report a satisfactory suffrage bill
to the House the Republican men,
bership will give it substantial sup
port and it will be passed"
Representative Martin expressed
his views at brief press confer
ence in his Capitol Office. Although
engrossed with the affairs of the
Republican party since being chosen
chairman of the National Commit
tee, he indicated he had taken time
to observe recent developments in
connection with the renewed drive
to give the people Of Washington
the right to vote.

Prince Felix Arrives
AT Annapolis With I
six Children
RoyoI Refugee Hopes
To Regain Luxembourg
After the War
BY JAMES FREE,
Star Stan CorreSpendent.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, July 25.-Ex-
pressing fear Of . European famine
this winter and hope of regaining
his country after the war, Prince
Consort Felix Of Luxembourg arrived
from Lisbon aboard the United
States cruiser Trenton with his six
children this morning.
Accompanied by Joseph E. Davies,
former Ambassador to Belgium and
Minister to Luxembourg, the royal
party left about 11:20 am. for
Washington where 1t will be received
at the White House for luncheon.
Later in the afternoon it will leave
by train for the estate of Mr.. Davies
on Long Island near New York,
where the visitors will remain for
an indefinite period.
Welcomed by 2l-gun salute as
they cruised into the dock at the
United States Naval Academy the
royal family lined up on the dock
for an official welcome at which the
academy band played the Luxem-
bourg national anthem.
The Prince and his children stood
calmly at attention and gave no
sign Of emotion while the anthem
was played, but tears were noticed
In the eyes of many of the crowd
that gathered to greet them.
The royal party left the Luxem-
bourg capital on three hours notice

on the night Of the German inva-
sion, 1t was learned. They crossed
the French border In the early
morning before dawn and proceeded
cross country to Lisbon, from which
the Trenton sailed eight days ago.
Prince Felix publicly thanked the
United States Government and
President Roosevelt for their "in-
vitation" to come to America. He
said that his children would con-
tinue their education in this country.
No member Of the family will apply
for American citizenship, he said.
The prince declined to answer any
questions Of political nature.
The throng welcoming the royal
visitors was headed by Gov. O'Conor
of Maryland and Rear Admiral
Wilson Brown, superintendent Of
the academy.
Admiral Browns barge, Anita
Clay, brought the visitors in from
the anchorage about 7 miles of
shore. The Trenton had arrived
earlier in the morning.
In brief interview with the press,
Prince Felix said that he did not
know when the Grand Duchess
Charlotte, mother of the children,
would come to the United States.
Two of the children, Princess Alix,
10 years old, and Prince Charles, IL,
brought pet dog ashore with them,
and the youngest princess also car
ried toy airplane. Former Ambas-
sador Davies said that he was told
by Capt. j. r. Barry, commander of
the Trenton, that the royal family
had won the hearts of the members
of the crew.
Asked how long the royal family
would remain in this country, Prince
Felix replied: Il don't know"
The prince and his Oldest son,
Juan, 10, visited the United States II

Representative Hancock, New

Representative Michener-"As a
member of the judiciary Committee
for many years, and having been
attentive at successive hearings on
the subject of District local suf-
frage and national representation,
I believe know all the arguments
pro and con, and the conflicting
interests. I have always been ready
to give the question consideration
and to act upon it, but it apparently
took the Democratic convention in
Chicago to jar the Democrats loose.
It seems strange that if the Demo-
Gratis were SO eager that they must
put this plank in their platform
that they didn't take the necessary
legislative action long ago. For more
than seven years they have had the
President more dominant than ever
before. and with the House and
Senate having an unprecedented
party majority. Meanwhile the peo-
pie of the District have been clamor-
ing for years for the franchise. The
Democrats could have passed this
resolution at any time during the
past seven years-if it was a party
issue. They are not likely to find
the Republicans blocking them now" ="

Moreover, the air ministry an
nounced tonight that a "Henschel
1926" army cooperation plane OF the
type which the Germans used IN
Flanders to scout for troops was
sighted off the south coast for the
first time today and was winged by
British fighters.
Scotsmen said tonight's raids
were mostly of the stealthy hit
and-run'' variety.
They said the bombers glided In
low with motors cut off, loosed
their bombs and sped away.
The damage, they said, was not
great.
Il saw the bomberS coming III
quickly and silently from the sea-"
said one witness. "They swept

some explosions and then, with a
roar, the bombers started their
engines and fled out to sea-"
The Royal Air force struck back
with daylight raids on barge con-
centrations in the Netherlands and
Belgium, and military detectives
in the Ruhr. Fires were reported
following attacks on oil depots at
Client and Getsenkirchen, the lat
ter in northwest Germany. Bad
weather again hampered night-aer-
ial attacks.
(The German high command de-
clared its planes had attacked Tun-
bridge Wells, in Kent just out OF
London; the English "Platts-

bors in south and central Eng

company relented and allowed her to
keep the old type. Now when she
wants to make a call she gives her
number to an operator who dials for

A blind subscriber was offered the
concession of keeping his old type

manner without the dial. He became

Interpreting The War

Italian technique of war, however,
the announcement by G enera
Franco, like the pressure by ia.
pan for closure of the Burma road
is revealing. Both represent dis.
tracing new moves against Bri
tain in the War of nerves. beins
waged against her by the Axi:
allies.
It is immaterial whether German
and Italian. diplomatic i MT r
played a part in the timing O,
Japan's demands, which is a nat
ural assumption in view of Ions
existing Observation-Disclosures
relationships. Likewise, it. is be
side the point whether it was or
direct urging of Axis spokesmer
that General Franco voiced the Gi
braltar-for-Spain cry.
New Troubles
What is important is that Bri
tain was newly beset on both sides
OF the world by acknowledgements
states friendly with her axis foes
and patterning their policies and
actions on the axis model. She was
forced to yield to Japan. as Prime
Minister Churchill told Parliament,
by the dominant fact that we
are engaged in a life and death
struggle"
The plain truth is that Britain
could not risk the possibility OF
hostilities with Japan at this time.
She has sought in effect to put
the Burma road problem on ice
for three months, and added to that
concession a conditional proffer OF
collaboration to bring about a
negotiated peace between Japan
and China.
Japanese acceptance of the time
limit, coupled with the erection O.
Japanese far eastern hegemony,
has interesting possibilities.
Despite Berlin-R ties
it could represent a definite Japan
csc hope that the Axis allies viii
not emerge all powerful in Europe
and possibly attempt to extend
their sway to the far east. Japar
may deem it advisable to keep or
reasonably friendly terms with
Britain until the fate Of the Brit
ish fleet is determined.
Whatever the real meaning O
Anglo maneuvering, Gen
eral Franco can hope for no sim
liar British concessions to his de
mand for Gibraltar. His challenge
more likely was intended exclu
sively for Spanish ears. He is full,
aware that the Axis allies, if vic
torious over Britain, would deter
mine the distribution of war spoil!
to their own liking.
It is hardly likely that a con
quering Italy, even if only a tai
to the Nazi kite, would assent tt
control of the western door of hel
Mediterranean prison" passing
from British to Spanish hands. L
could occur only if Spain was re
duced to a mere German-Italiar
|puppet.
Spain has put in her bid for g
place at the war spells distribu'
ton table. That bid sounds sweet
in Spanish ears, but may not be
as tuneful in Rome, Berlin or Mos
