Young men who are being called

Pusy declared.
Mr.. Waldrop, advocating local self
government as well as national rep
reSentation, on behalf of the Times
Herald, listed seven objections he
said are most frequently raised
against District suffrage. and sought
to show that none of them consti-
tute a valid argument against
passage of the resolution.
Answers Objections.
He stated the seven points, as fol-
lows: That suffrage was not in
tended by the founding fathers:
that when limited suffrage existed
it did not work well; that the peo-
pie here do not want it: that it
would bring politics to the Nation s
Capital: that the District has good
government now: that local self
government would conflict with ma
tional interest, and that the colored
population would run the city, or
exercise too much control
Answering the claims that local
residents do not want the vote. Mr..
Waldrop cited the 1893 referendum,
In which more than $4,000 Wash
ingtonians went to neighborhood
school houses and registered their
approval of suffrage.
In that referendum, he said, the
vote was II to l for national rep
resentation and to l for local self
government.
Defends Colored Population.
Mr.. Waldrop said his experience in
studying the question leads him to
believe the colored population Of
the District would vote as intelli-
gently as anybody else. He also pre-
dicted they would vote along party
lines and not as . class.

He made the statement after ask
ing Mr.. Randolph questions he said

Senator Kilgore inquired whether
passage of the constitutional amend
ment might make the question Of
local self-government a biennial
football in each new Congress, with
demands for changes in the form OF
Government. Even if that hap
pened, Mr.. Randolph replied. "it

May Be Near Athens.
In response to question from
the correspondents. these quarters
admitted the theoretical possibility
that advance German forces al
ready might be before Athens, about
100 miles from Thermopylae.
Whether this was actually true it
was apparent that Germany hoped
that Greece would capitulate before
the question of taking Athens arose.
1t has been reiterated that no Ger
man bombs have been dropped on
the classic Greek capital and its
treasures of antiquity.
Authorized sources repeated their
dictum of several days ago that
Greek prisoners OF war would be
treated magnanimously.
They declared that once again
Britain had left an ally unprotected
on the flank, thereby creating a
hopeless situation for the bravely
fighting native forces.

Congress Action Now Urged.
Now is the time for action by the
Congress, in our opinion. With the
Democratic platform Of July. 1910,
urging the vote for District residents
and the leaders of the Republican
party likewise committing, their
party, we feel that now is the time
to take favorable action"
When the subcommittee ad-
journed this afternoon Chairman
McCarran announced the hearing
would be resumed at 10 am. next
Tuesday.
Support for the proposal came
today in the form Of statement
filed by the National League of
Women Voters. Pointing out that
it has affiliated groups in a ma
jority of the States and in 800 COM
munities, the league declared that
1t advocates suffrage for the Dis
trict of Columbia, since 1t believes
that no group of citizens should be
denied the right to vote"
"As long ago as 1922 and 1928"
the statement continued, the con-
vention of the National League OF
Women Voters. consisting of dele
gates from affiliated State leagues,
advocated support of the principle
of Federal suffrage for the District,
and since 1924 Federal suffrage has
been part of the legislative pro-
gram OF the league In 1888 the
whole question was reconsidered,
and that year the national conven-
ton voted to support the principle
of local suffrage as well as TO work
for national representation. In 1899
and 1910, in line with this program,
we supported the Summers resolu-
ton"
z. F. Henry Gives Views.
AT an earlier hearing last week
Chairman Summers of the House
Judiciary Committee suggested the
adviSability of omitting from the
constitutional amendment the pro-
posed grant Of power over local self
government, contending Congress al
ready has power to grant the Dis
trict any kind of local government
it could establish for a territory, like
Alaska.
The supplemental statement filed
today by the District of Columbia
Suffrage Association, through Ernest
F. Henry, dealt with the suggestion,
as follows:
'As director of that organization
I attended. last evening. a regularly
called meeting of the Executive
Board. Attention was called to the

Capper resolution and particularly

Therefore, we do not insist upon
the retention of the local self-eov-

the necessary and desirable author
ity to a locally elected municipal
