Capper Hits Failure
0fCongress 10 Give
Suffrage 10 D. {.
Hanson Puts Resolution
Of Women Voters Leooue
In Senate Record

Failure of Congress to extend suf-
rage to residents of Washington was
called "a great injustice" by Sena-
tor Capper, Republican, of Kansas
In the Senate today.
He made the statement while OBJ
tanning unanimous consent to print
in the Congressional Record that
part Of the platform of the Ma
tional League of Women Voters, in
which the league declared itself in
favor of District suffrage at its
recent convention in Chicago.
The plank reads as follows:
THE League of Women Voters
works for the extension of the pop
ular vote to the disfranchized cit
liens of the District of Columbia"
Il am in hearty accord with the
stand taken by this convention at
Chicago" Senator Capper added
II think it is great injustice to the
people of the District of Columbia
that they are deprived Of the right
of participation in their Govern
ment which is given to the citizens
Of the 48 States. I have a bill in
the Senate which undertakes to cor
rect this great wrong and hope to
see favorable action in the near
future"

New Fuel Oil Problem Seen
As D. c. Users Get Coupons
Under OPA Authority, Dealers Made Sales
Before Customers Got A|Iotments

The first of the Districts fuel oil
consumers were picking up their
rationing coupons at area boards
today as the local Office of Price
Administration reported more than
10000 application already had been
received.
All but a few thousand of these
applications have been processed by
corps of volunteer workers and
first notices, informing householders
that the ratio books are ready for
them, were mailed Friday, according
to Whitney Leary, District OPA
administrator.
Meanwhile, another problem was
looming for OPA officials. Dealers
in the District have been selling
fuel oil to customers and have been
accepting promissory notes in lieu
of rationing coupons. Up to now, no
customer has been able to tell what
his allowance of oil for each of the
five heating periods was to be. So
dealers have been delivering oil and
taking notes from their patrons
without either party to the trans
action knowing whether or not
enough coupons would be issued for
the first period to redeem notes.
OPA Authority Cited.
One dealer in the city said he was
certain there were many cases in
which the customer already had re-
ceived more oil than he should
have.
"The OPA gave us authority to
sell oil in exchange for the notes, ?"
this distributor said. There is no
regulation that says we may refuse
to sell oil to anybody so long as we
get these notes. The result is that
we're going to run into cases where
our customers just haven't enough
coupons to redeem all the notes
they've given u.s.
This dealer said distributors in
the District were already making
their second deliveries of the sea-
son and there was no way of know
ing whether they were selling too
much oil or staying within the al
lotment for each customer.
More Applications Expected.
The number of applications that
have already poured into the local
OPA office is far in excess of the
estimates made earlier this season.
HouSeholders with oil heating plants
have another week-until next Mon
day-to get their applications to area
boards, and several thousands addi-
tional requests for allotments are
expected before the deadline.
After next Monday distributors
will not be permitted to deliver oil
to any one unless rationing coupons
are given in return. The coupons
are issued in 10-gallon and 1-gallon
denominations so that the proper
number of coupons can be surren-
dered for any amount of oil delivered
within the allotment for the current
heating period, which ends Decem-
Der 3.
Processing Explained.
Processing the applications takes
some time, since each form sub
mitted must be worked on with a
series of complicated tables provided

pleted, Mrs. Benton said.
The corps will be hey organiza-
ton in civilian defense work. One
Victory Volunteer will be assigned
to each 20 families-or two to each
block-and on these workers will de-
pend the success of many home
front programs.
The first VIC project will begin

tngton area to explain the need for

Mrs. Benton pointed out, also will
be for men willing to serve in the
auxiliary fire, auxiliary police and
rescue squads.

military enlistments. Requirements
are needed. The rescue squads, for
example, have lost about one third
of their members.
A staff of $50 trained registrars
will work tomorrow and in no case
should registration take more than
10 or IL minutes, Mrs. Benton said.
