Action Delayed
On D. {. Vote
Until Jan. 28
Senote Group Sets
New Dote for Study of
All Amendments

BY mutual agreement, members
of the Senate Judiciary Committee
today deferred until January %
action on the proposed constitu-
tional amendment to give District
residents the vote and representa-
ton in Congress.
On that date the committee,
headed by Senator McCarran of
Nevada, plans to act on all pro-
posed constitutional amendments
then pending before the Judiciary
Committee.
| In addition to the District suf-
frage question, proposed constitu-
tional amendments which have been
reported from the Hatch subcom-
mittee deal with women's equal
rights, the presidential term of Of
flee and whether aliens should be
counted in calculating congressional
apportionment.
Hatch Agrees to Delay.
Senator Hatch, Democrat, of New
Mexico, whose subcommittee last
month urged adoption of the Sum-
newspaper plan for constitutional
amendment to enable Congress to
let District residents vote in ma
tionals elections and to have repre-
sentation in Congress, told reporters
he had agreed to the fixing of a
day when the Judiciary Committee,
by prearrangement, would act on
pending constitutional amendment
proposals.
He indicated he was somewhat
disappointed that the day fixed for
this action was so far in the future,
but he explained a day was selected
when other business most likely
would not conflict with the meeting
One advantage of selecting date
so. far in advance, one committee
member argued, would be that all
members would be on notice that
a formal vote is to be taken on that
date on all four of the presently
pending proposed constitutional
amendments.
The Summers -Capper resolution
was explained by its co-author,
Chairman Summers of the House
Judiciary Committee, in a radio
address over Station VOL yester-
day.
Part Of Nations Citizenship.
"The people of the District are
part of the Nations citizenship"
Mr. Summers said. They contribute
with their taxes. they make contri-
button OF their young men in time
of war
He explained that the move to
give the District voice in its gov
ernment came in the form of a
joint resolution for constitutional
amendment which would grant
Congress power to give or take
away representation from the Dis
trlct because the Federal interest
in the District must always be dom
| inant."
Proceeding in this fashion is most
! important" Mr. Summers said, from
the standpoint of those who feaI
that constitutional amendment
which provided outright for repre-
sentation in Congress and a vote
for President and Vice President
might sometime have to be repealed
/ This proposed amendment is
merely an enabling act, increasing
the power of Congress in dealing
with its own constitutional response
bility as the governor of the District
OF Columbia" the legislator said.

Asked in MONTGOMERY

Declaring that salaries for Mont

inadequate present compensation -
and asks the commissioners to give

Grafton to the matter.
