such an appeal would not be suffi-

McKellar Undecided.
For several days there have been
indications that favorable war news
has been weakening support for the
House bill and increasing support
for substitute retaining and
strengthening War Manpower Com
mission controls. o..
In this connection, Senator Nc.
Kellar, Democrat, of Tennessee
told reporters that "it would bt

LaFolIette Hits House Bill.

dent and Vice President" Mr.. SABBATH
yesterday told newspapermen, "and
l believe they should have the right
to elect some number of their own
representatives to Congress. I
think they are entitled to repre-
sentation.
IF the Judiciary Committee
makes favorable report on the
joint resolution, will do all in my
power to have it given prompt and
real consideration by the Rules
Committee.
Now, it is not up to me alone to
grant a rule (for action on the
measure in the House,. Some
times our committee members want
to hold up or defeat various meas
ures, but so far as I am concerned,
this resolution will be taken UP
without delay and I will do what
can to expedite action. I believe
the question should 60 to the House
for its decision"
Opposes Governmental Change.
He said he would support the
plan so long as it does not involve
any question Of an elected local
government that might impinge on
the exclusive legislative control over
the National Capital which is given
to Congress in the Constitution.
Chairman Summers of the House
Judiciary Committee and other
sponsors of the joint resolution
have made clear that t. Summers
Capper proposal in no E.se disturbs
the control vested in Congress and,
in fact, does not commit Congress
to anything irrevocable.
Mr.. SABBATH cautioned that any
matters of Importance to the con-
duct of the war would have to be
given priority before the Rule Com
mittee. Outside of this stipulation
he agreed there should be action on
the representation matter. He said
he realized there would be a delay
of two years In action by the St&te
legislatures on ratification of the
proposed constitutional amendment
unless the question could be sub
mitted to them during their sessions
this year. =
Celler Urges Speed.
Representative Celler, Democrat

legislatures are meeting this year.
The Celler subcommittee Is hold

ings on the measure open for a few
days, to permit the filing of state
ments by various groups, but it's
favorable report to the full Judiciary
Committee probably will be sub
mitted before the end of this week.
The full committee is expected to
act favorably.
When the formal report has been
placed before the House, the next
step would be to apply to the Rules

have figured that the cost of World
