Suffrage Fight Pushed
Despite Committees
Closed Meeting Ruling

Despite rejection of their plea fol
admission to the Monday session OF
the Senate Judiciary Committee
proponents of the Sumners-Capper
resolution today went ahead with
last-mlnute efforts to secure favor
able action from the committee
when 1t meets to decide the fate of
the measure designed to give the
District national representation.
A delegation from the Federation
of Women's Clubs sought out COM
mittee members at the Capitol to
ask that they vote the measure to
the Senate floor, while the CO.
authors of the Summers Capper
measure shaped a final radio appeal
for support of their bill.
Chairman McCarran of the Senate
judiciary Committee yesterday killed
all hope of public admission to Mon
days vital meeting with announce
.ment that it would be an executive
session.
Request Refused.
In letter to James S. Beattie.
chairman of the suffrage confer
ence's National Representation Com
mittee, Senator McCarran declared,
Your request for an open session
OF the Judiciary Committee on the
flnal consideration of the measure
cannot be granted"
Mr.. Beattie earlier in the week
had asked Senator McCarran to
open the committee doors to the
public because action on the Sum-
newspaper resolution sis of crucial
interest to the District and our or
gan1zation, representing over half a
million citizens thereof"
AS favorably reported to the full
committee by the Hatch Subcom-
mittee, the Sumners-Capper meas
ure provides for an amendment to
the Constitution to permit Congress
to grant the District representation
IN the Senate, House and Electoral
College.
Bills Authors to Speak.
The measures authors, Senator
Capper, Republican, of Kansas. and
Representative Summers, Democrat,
OF Texas, were to speak at 1910
pm. over WWDC. Scheduled to
appear with them was Venus
Ramey, Washington's Miss Amer
lea" of 1914, whose support for
national representation was enlisted
by the Central Suffrage Conference.
In a speech over WWDC last
night, Mrs. Gordon Balm, member
of the conferences National Repre-
sentation Committee, outlined rea-
sons why the Sumners-Capper for
mula for District voice in national
affairs should be acceptable to Con-
gress and residents alike.
She pointed out that the measure
as drawn, is merely enabling legisla-
ton which would leave to Congress
the entire say as to what degree of
national representation the District
should have.
The committee Mrs. Balm repre-
sented opposes amendments to the
measure offered last week by Judic-
larry Committee members which
would restrict District representa-
ton in Congress to the House.

The Senate today was ready to
count FEPC out for the present after
"a month-long filibuster.
/ This meant resounding victory
for Southern Senators and a few
Northern colleagues who have been
trying to talk the measure to death
ever since it was called up for action
in January.
The formal showdown was due
at 4 pm, when q vote was sched-
uled on motion to limit debate
drastically on the bill to set up a
permanent Fair Employment Prac-
tice Commission.
Backers Of the bill frankly con-
coded they lacked the two-thirds
majority necessary to put over this
so-called gag rule" and that is
the only way they can squelch the
filibuster and force a quick vote
on the measure.
Once debate limitation has been
rejected, the bill would return to
the calendar where it probably
would remain indefinitely.
Southern Democrats have deliv-
cred most Of the oratorical TRADES

Order Unlikely 10 Affect
D. {. Government Jobs

Resumption of prewar employ
ment standards by the Federal Gov
eminent is considered unlikely to
cost District war appcintees their
jobs because of the acute local man
power shortage, it was learned yes
terday.
A recent survey Of vacancies ON
city rosters made for the Veterans
Information Center revealed more
than 300 posts vacant and not OBJ
hgated to returning veterans. Al
most another 1000 positions are
created in the 1947 budget estimates
now before Congress.
In addition some women who
worked during the war are leaving
their jobs with the return of their
husbands to civilian life, it was
said.
District Budget Officer Walter L.
Fowler, who Is also chairman Of the
District Personnel Board, is sched-
uled to attend a meeting at the
White House this morning to discuss
the presidential order.

Hicks Seeks Evidence
From Prison in Fight
To GET Out Of Army
BY the Associated Press,

BALTIMORE, Feb. Donald
Hicks, rs, was arranging today for
additional testimony from Lewisburg
penitentiary officials to be submitted
in his behalf at a hearing on a
habeas corpus petition through
which he seeks to force Army
authorities to release him from
service.
Hicks, resident of Kingston, N.
Y, contends that he is no longer a
soldier by virtue of a dishonorable
discharge.
At hearing which opened yester-
day, he argued his own case before
Federal Judge w. Calvin Chestnut.
Controversy centered around a re-
lease he signed while serving a 25-
year sentence on criminal assault
charges at Lewisburg Pa.) peniten-
tiary.
Admitting that he signed the re-
lease, which asked for remittance
OF the remainder Of his sentence and
restoration to duty in the Army,
~~~SA~o ASS4o4 GU oaidt llC 1ldu dLtdCllCu
conditions to it. He revoked the
paper, on December 26 he said, when
the conditions were not fulfilled.
Two Army officers, Lts Col. F.
Lowell Bixby of the Adjutant Gen.
erals ONCE and Maj. Addison P.
Drummond of the Judge Advocate
Generals Once, testified that no
revocation bearing that date was
received in Washington.
Hicks testimony that Federal
Judge John Biggs had set aside the
court-martial which convicted Hicks
in England in 1914 further COM
plcated the case.
Thomas J. Kinney, United States
attorney, introduced an order by
Judge Biggs dated January "a,
which declared his previous judg-
ment moot since the Army already
had restored Hicks to duty.
If the habeas corpus order were
granted, Judge Chestnut told Hicks,
he would have no recourse but to
send him back to Lewisburg.
Take 1t or leave it," he said.
The hearing was adjourned to
permit Hicks to arrange for tes-
timony from prison officials.

ID. {. Commissioners
Refuse 70 AmpIify
Charges Against Gill

The Commissioners have refused
to elaborate on Board of Public We'll
fare charges of inefficiency and in
competency against Howard B. Gill,
suspended general superintendent of
District penal institutions, despite
the opinion Of the Civil Service
Commission that 6 Of the is allega-
tions are insufficiently detailed to
permit adequate defense. ;.
This was disclosed last night when
Mr.. Gill received letters from the
city heads denying a bill of particu-
lars simplifying the charges as sug-
gested by the Civil Service Commits
sion.
The Commissioners indicated they
were relying on the final paragraph
of the letter they received from
President Harry B. Mitchell of the
Civil Service Commission which
stated that II MIR. Gill Is allowed to
cross-examine witnesses against him
and a record of the testimony Is
kept, the criticism of lack of detail
in the charges would be properly
met.
While this paragraph was In an
original daft of the letter to the
city heads, 1t was repeatedly left out
Of the missive as it finally reached
the Commissioners. Subsequently a
second letter was received contain
ing the missing paragraph, it was
said.
Mr.. Gill was suspended December
6 following investigation of the
escape of five men from District
Jail November "a. He was recon-
mended by the welfare board for
dismissal. The Commissioners, who
are legally responsible for actual
hiring and firing of welfare en-
ployes, appointed a special nom
official board of inquiry to hear
the charges at public hearing,
expected later this month. Mem
bers of the board are Walter F.
Bastian and Francis w. Hill, both
former presidents of the District
Bar Association, and Alfred H. Law
son, vice president of the Wash
ington Loan 81 Trust Co.
Mr.. Gill said he has been given
an additional 10 days to prepare
his defense. He said no date had
been given as the starting point for
the 10 days, but that he and his
attorney have assumed it would be
as of February 8.

Proposed Rent Rise
Protested by tenants;
Ruling Due by Feb. 70

A finding in the case OF the Savoy
Apartment House at Fourteenth
and Girard streets NV, where
tenants are fighting q rent increase
proposed by Henry j. Robb, Inc,
rental agents, probably will be
reached by February 20, 1t was In
dicated today by Leonard S. Hayes,
examiner in the office of the admin
istrator of rent control, who heard
the case yesterday. The owner was
said to be George Miller.
Representatives for the Robb
agency presented statistics showing
that operating costs for the apart
ments increased from $14,951 in
1941 to S18,8l6 in 1916, including
salaries rise Of from So, 491 in 1941
to $4,478 in 1945. On this basis, the
examiner was asked to approve in
creases in rents ranging from $3.50
to $3.50 month on apartments
now renting at from $47.50 to s65 q
month.
About IS Tenants Attend.
The Robb Company was repre-
sented by Thomas x. Dunn, attor-
ney; Philip j. Ganzert, rental man.
ager. and Miss Helen Higgins. book
keeper.
About IS tenants, mostly women,
attended the all-day hearing, and
their spokesman sharply attacked
the proposed increase in rents,
charging that the apartment house
was in bad need of repairs, was
dirty" lacked many screens, and
that the management had failed to
respond to calls of tenants for
necessary Improvements. For the
most part, however, tenants admit
ted the heating system had i'm
proved and elevator service was
better than last year, but still was
practically nonexistent after mid
night.
Charles P. Gray, attorney, q
tenant, said he had visited the
apartments and testified that most
OF them were badly run down and
in need of attention.
Repair Payments Claimed.
Sonora Jose A. Scar, tenant,
testified, on presentation by Counsel
Thomas A. Farrell, that she had
paid for refrigerator repairs which
the management was supposed to
have paid for, and had to pay half
the cost Of necessary reconditioning
of the apartment.
Mrs. Frank Van Dyke complained
her rent was supposed to. be in
creased by $3.50, or % per cent,
despite the fact one window never
had a screen and the management
failed to protect her apartment
from coal dust when coal was
delivered.
More than $4,000 had been spent
by the Robb company installing a
vacuum pump and tank to improve
the heating plant, witnesses said.
All parties concerned will be
notified by mail of the findings of
the examiner, Mr.. Hayes said.

ment is of paramount Importance.
