Capper Tells Senate
Reason Is Lacking for
Denying Vote in D. {.
Places Stor Editorial
In Record; Declares
Argument UnunswerobIe

Senator Capper. Republican, of
Kansas. champion of the right
Of District residents to repre-
sentation in Congress as their
lawmaking body, today told the
Senate there was no sound rea-
son why District residents should
not be given the vote the same
as all other Americans.
His statement was made as he
obtained unanimous consent to in
sert in the Congressional Record an
editorial published by The Star
August 10 urging congressional ap-
proval of the pending Summers
Capper national representation reso-
luton.
Senator Capper stressed the plight
OF District residents in the armed
services who will not be permitted
to vote like other service men and
women next November, though they
are fighting for their country and
paying taxes to support the Govern
ment like the others.
Argument Is Unanswerable.
Senator Capper declared:
Il ask that a timely editorial
printed by The Washington Eve
ming Star be printed in the Record.
I am heartily in accord with the
suggestion made by The Star that
he Congress should take favorable
action on the joint resolution in
troduced by Representative Sum-
ners Of Texas and myself, proposing
an amendment to the Constitution
which will give the people of the
District vote on President and
Vice President, and also will make it
possible for them to elect a repre-
sentative in Congress.
"As I see it, the argument made
oy The Star is unanswerable.
mo sound reason can be given
why the people of the District should
not be given the vote the same as
all other American citizens.
This is particularly true, so far
as the soldiers now defending our
Government are concerned. They
are fighting for their country the
same as all other American soldiers,
and are making great sacrifice.
They are paying taxes to support
the Government the same as the
people of all other cities. but they
are wrongfully deprived of the
rights of an American citizen, so
far as a part in their Government
is concerned"
Before q Subcommittee.
The Sumners-Capper resolution
has been placed before subcommit-
tee of the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee. which Is headed by Senator
McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada. He
has planned to hold public hearings
later on this resolution. which dif-
fers in some respects from the one

dent members elected by the people
OF the District. constituting the seat
