lem. Senator McCarran pointed out
that he has named a subcommittee
to consider the repeat appointment
of Gregory Hankin.
On the matter of a District Com

District matters have to work closely
at all times with the Commissioners
I'VE see a Washington in the fu-
ture that is a greater city than the
Capital of today. We are agreed
upon the type of man who should be
named to commissionership. He
should be young, vigorous, courage
GUS and of sufficient vision to see
this Capital of the future"
Mr.. Randolph expressed similar
views, pointing out that washing

the city of 10 or 20 years ago. II

years from now it will be still larger

Mr.. Randolph said the President
recognized District problems and Of
fered some of his own suggestions
for their solution. None of the con-
gressional trio would indicate speci-
flcally what the Presidents pro-
posals were.

Senator McCarran indicated h,
had not discussed a plan for re,
vised form of District government
with the President That problem i!
not immediate and will require con-
siderable study, he said on his re-
turn to the Capitol.
Senator McCarran expressed thu
opinion the people of Washington
should have the benefit of a strictly
municipal government in which
they have a voice, and the loca
government should have as much
authority as possible. He added
however, that Congress should no
and could not relinquish the au
thority it holds over the Nationa
Capital. He would give to the pro
posed municipal government of th
District wide power over ordinance
for the welfare and safety of tn,
people here, subject always to re
view by Congress.
Sees Better Government.
Senator McCarran said he be.
lieved that such a revision of tn,
District government is the only kline
of proposal to which Congress
would assent The people of ths
District would have more to say ir
their own government and they
would have better laws and better
government if such plan were
adopted, he said.
II have no definite plan for thi.
new government setup for the Dis
trict at this time" Senator McCar.
ran continued, but I believe tha
the people who have their lives anc
