D. {. Suffrage
Resolution Is
Offered Again
Summers Amendment
Wouldn't Surrender
Federal Control

Chairman Summers of the
House Judiciary Committee has
reintroduced his joint resolution
proposing an amendment to the
Constitution empowering Con-
gress to grant national represen-
tation to the people of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
This is the third time Chairman
Summers has introduced this resolu-
ton He introduced it first in 1899
in the Seventy sixth Congress and
the Judiciary Committee reported
it to the House on August s. 1910,
but it was never brought up for
consideration on the floor.
Mr.. Summers reintroduced it in the
Seventy-seventh Congress when no
action was taken by the committee
Enabling Provision.
The proposed amendment to the
Constitution would have to be rati-
fed by the legislatures of three
fourthS of the States within seven
years before it could become valid
as part of the Constitution.
1t provides: The Congress shall
have power to provide that there
shall be in the Congress and among
the electors of President and Vice
President members 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 determine. All legislation here
under shall be subject to amend
ment end repeal"
In reporting this proposed amend
ment to the House, Chairman Sum-
ners explained that 'it is merely an
enabling provision giving to Con-
gress the power to provide for the
District of Columbia the sort of
government which IN its judgment
the District should have"
Right to Vote for President.
1t also includes, he explained, the
right to have representation in the
House of Representatives and to
participate in the election of the
President and Vice President, with
the right reserved to Congress to
repeal or modify any grant there
under of right to the citizens of the
District to participate in the gov
ernment.
IF the proposed amendment
should be adopted there would be
no surrender Of paramount Federal
control" Mr.. Summers emphasized.
1T would not conflict with or dis
turb the original arrangement pro-
vided in the Constitution that Con-
gress should exercise exclusive legis-
lation in all cases whatsoever over
the District of Columbia. The pro-
posed amendment gives to the citi-
zens of the District the same access
to Federal courts on the ground of
diversity Of citizenship now had by
citizens of States"

Whole factory areas must be

sellor, has resigned as deputy ad-
ministrator of the Office of Price

friend of Price Administrator
Brown.
Meanwhile, 1t was learned that
the Office of War Information prob
ably will take over the entire OPA

Maxon. 1t was understood nego-
tiations have been completed be-
tween Mr.. Brown and Owl Director
Elmer Davis for transfer of the press
corps to the Owl payroll The ar
rangements are now being worked
out with the Budget Bureau, it was
said.
Mr. Horton is former Washing

Defense Advisory Commission. He
became director of information OF
the Offlce of Emergency Manage
ment early in 194l and held the
position until creation of Owl in

OEM information section, and Mr..
Horton was retained as chief Of the
new news bureau.
In August, former Price Admins
traitor Leon Henderson appointed
MI. Horton deputy administrator
of OPA. Mr.. Horton turned in his
resignation shortly before Mr.. Hen
derson left Office in January, but was
persuaded to remain in Office until
Mr.. Brown took over. This week Mr..
Brown accepted the resignation at
the insistence of Mr.. Horton, though
he previously had declined thte Hor-
ton resignation along with those OF
other top OPA officials which were
offered to give the new administra-
tor a free hand in setting up his own
rganization.
OPA has maintained an inde-
pendent press and public relations
organization since it's creation,
though press releases were cleared
through first OEM and later the
Owl news bureau.

Dewey Warns Public
To Farm or Go Hunqry
Says Every One Must
Grow Own Food
Ry the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Feb 13. - Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey said here last
night that if the people of New
York State want to eat next year
and send their share of food abroad,
every one of them must pitch into
the business of planting, cultivating.
harvesting and processing their own
food.
I'VE will receive food from other
States" the Governor asserted in an
address prepared for the annual
Lincoln birthday dinner of the
National Republican Club" and we
will send much of our own abroad.
But basically, we had better get
down to the fundamental business
of farming-every one of us-or we
will fail to do our part in the war
effort, and we will be hungry"
within 10 days I expect to be
able to go on the radio to talk to
all the people of the State, the
farmers, the men and women of the
cities and the small towns, the
high school boys and college 6fls
and tell them in detail what they
can do to meet the food crisis he
added.
Il am confident that when they
know what they can do they will
need no orders or directives from
any one. They will rally to the job
and do it."
