Brown, Townsend and
Otter Among Those Who
Support Legislation

Further support for the Summers
resolution providing for a constitu-

gress to grant the District national
representation was pledged yester-
day by Congressional Campaign
Committee officials of both parties.
The plea for support of the reso-
luton was contained in the personal

House and Senate. They are: SEN
ator Brown of Michigan, chairman
of the Democratic senatorial group;
Senator Townsend of Delaware

Capt. Victor Harding, executive
secretary of the House Democratic
Committee, and Representative j.
Will Otter of Pennsylvania, chair
man of the House Republican Com
mittee.

Senator Brown was a member
of the Platform Committee at the
Chicago Democratic convention
which adopted the District suffrage
plank, and he helped get it in the
platform.
IT am glad to contribute my
influence in indorsing the Summers
resolution" he said. II have always
felt that this question should be
decided by the people themselves
who reside here and I am con-
vinced they now are eager for
elected representation in the law
making body and to vote for Presi-
dent and Vice President. I feel that
all Democratic members of Con-
gress should vote for adoption of
the resolution for a constitutional
amendment, and should be active
in their home States to have it ap-
proved by the State Legislature-to
carry out the party declaration in
the platform"
Senator Townsend wired The Star
yesterday from his home in Shelby

tion in the effort to get the Summers
resolution passed before adjourn
