More than 1000 tons of explosives

Five bombers were missing from

fourth night the nonstop Allied
aerial offensive against Germany
and the Axis-occupied continental
countries.

Yesterday British Whirlwinds at
tackled the German airdrome at
Maupertus near Cherbourg, while
swift Mosquitoes bombed factories at
Hengelo in Holland and near Liege

probably exceeded 10000 tons.

Trade Board Chiefs
Renew Campaign for
D. {. Representation
Copper-Sumners Plan
Specifically Backed
By Directors

Directors of the Board of Trade
today renewed their Endorsement
of national representation for
the District, specifically backing
the pending Capper-Sumners
joint resolution for a constitu-
tional amendment.
The directors also reaffirmed the
stand taken by the Board of Trade
in 1921 in opposition to proposals
for "voteless delegate" in Congress
from the District. This opposition
was based on the ground that adop-
tion Of a "voteless delegate" plan
merely would delay the District in
its efforts to get genuine national
representation.
Action was taken by the directors
in the form Of two separate resolu-
tions which followed recommenda-
tions made by the Board of Trade S
Committee on District of Columbia
National Representation Theodore
w. Noyes is chairman of the COM
mittee.
In its resolution approving the
joint resolution, the directors pledged
themselves and board officers and
committees to fight earnestly for
adoption of the constitutional
amendment and the consequent
granting to the people of the Dis
trict of those fundamental rights of
participation In the councils of the
Nation which they are now so un-
justly denied"
This action, the resolution de-
clares, is 'in harmony with the con-
slstent attitude of the Board of
Trade over many years.
The Capper-Sumners Joint reso-
luton, it was pointed out, says in
part:
The Congress shall have power to
provide that there shall be in the
Congress and among the electors of
President and Vice President men,
bers elected by the people of the
District constituting the seat of the
Government of the United States,
in such numbers and with such
powers as the Congress shall de-
termine, All legislation hereunder
shall be subject to amendment and
repeal"
War Prosecution Vital.
The National Representation Com
mittee admitted the vital necessity
OF prosecuting the war to the ut
most, but branded the voteless plight
of the District in wartime as a foul
abscess of nom n-Americanism."
The committee recommended Com
tinuation OF the strongest possible
effort to obtain consideration of the
pending constitutional amendment,
