Text of Resolution
By Trade Board

Tert OF the resolution .Xnani-
mously adopted yesterday by the
Committee on National Repre-
Sentatton OF the Washington
Board OF Trade:
Be it resolved by the Committee
on National Representation of the
Washington Board OF Trade:
l. That We renew our support to
the Summers -Cappeg proposed
amendment stated below as meeting
every requirement in both form and
substance as an enabling provision
of the Constitution which will en-
power the Congress to provide the
voteless and unrepresented Ameri-
cans of the National Capital with
the rights and privileges OF voting
for President and Vice President OF
the United States and for members
from the District of Columbia in the
Senate and the House Of Repre-
sentativeS:
"The Congress shall have power
to provide that there shall be in the
Congress and among the electors of
President and Vice President men,
bers 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 deter
mine. AL legislation hereunder
shall be subject to amendment and
repeal"
2. That we strenuously oppose any
amendment which would deny Dis
trlct of Columbia representation in
the Senate. Representation is re-
quired and demanded in the Con-
gress which consists of both a Sen
ate and a House of Representatives.
3. That we do hereby declare that
| the same reasons obtain for repre-
sentation in the Senate as for repre-
sentation in the House of Represen-
tatives, as all legislation, both ma
tional and local, to which the people
of the District of Columbia are sub
ject, is the result of action of the
two houses.
Resolved further that in our de-
mand for national representation
we will resist every attempt to mutt
late the proposal through eliminat-
ing the possibility of eventual repre-
sentation in the Senate, which would
thereby impose upon these District
people the necessity to continue the
fight for additional amendment to
provide representation in the Senate

ton committee meeting OF the
Board of Trade.
I'VE are very much elated," Mr..
Collifower told the committee,
"over the attitude of the schools
on the whole question We are
very happy over the outcome. 1t
augurs we'll for success of the
whole thing"
Chairman Suter characterized
the school cooperation as IAN echo
Of every attempt we are making
for the plebiscite."
Mr.. Collifiower then brought up
the possibility of doing something
in other schools and colleges of
the city.
Mr.. Lewis said he understood
that about half of the students at
George Washington University, for
instance, are veterans, and that
many of them probably are at least
81 years old, and therefore eligible
to vote in the plebiscite.
There was general committee
discussion of what might be done
to bring some kind of plebiscite ac-
tivities to the private schools, uni
versities and colleges. The problem
will be considered by the plebiscite
executive committee, Mr.. Colli-
flower said
School pupils throughout the
city in contact with the cause ought
to have some influence on their
parents to bring out the vote" Mr.
Suter suggested.
Acts on National Issue.
The committee adopted unan-
imously the resolution on national
representation presented by Mr.
Suter. The resolution now goes to
the full Board of Trade for its
approval. The language is in line

Quick Approval Given.
The Board of Education quickly
approved a plan for use OF thu
public schools as precinct polls. The
request was presented by Joseph c
McGarraghy, president of the Boarc
of Trade, and Mr.. Colliflower. With
them was Edwin N. Lewis, secretary
of the Plebiscite Committee.
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, pres.
ident of the Board of Education
made it the first order of business
Mr.. McGarraghy outlined genera
plans for the plebiscite and asked
for use of about rs school building!

approval.
Outlines Program.
School officials, DR.. Corning said
were ready and eager to cooperate
in the program.
Here is the four point program t.
be put in effect:
q. Keep all schools open on cleo
tion day as usual.
%. Locate the polling places II
various school buildings, and selec
the buildings to be used so as Il
assure convenient availability in al
sections of the city.
"3. Staff the polls with seniol
high school and junior high schoo
students from history and civic
classes (their service to be volun
tary) under adult supervision to b
provided at each polling place b.
the central committee in charge O
the election and to be supplemented
by the voluntary service of teacher
after school hours.
a. In addition to the election b,
adults, hold an entirely separat.
election in each junior and senio
high school on the same question
and with all students in those higl
schools being given an opportunit.
to vote
Sees Plebiscite as Training.
Explaining advantages" of tn
plan, DR.. Corning pointed out tina
operation of the schools would no
be suspended.
THE training of young people il
civics and government" he added
will be greatly enriched by thei
observing the operation of the ma
chinery Of an election and by thei
participating in the election a
workers, and as voters.
If it is important that the adul
citizenry of the District of Columbi
/. experienced an election" he pointe'
out" it is also important that tn
younger generation who soon vii
be of voting age have a similar ex
perience.
The entire project will be i'm
plemented by this plan through tn
build-up for the election in tn
classrooms prior to November s
through the students participation
in the election and through thei
sensitizing the homes to the i'm
portance of the election"
Recommending the plan, tn
superintendent asserted it woul,
not only meet the request Of tn
plebiscite committee for assist
ance, but at the same time th'
schools will gain rather than los,
by the experience"

The white and squirrel hakes
combined rank among the 10 spe-
cles OF fish taken in largest quanti-
ties in New England. The annual
catch, of from 19 to 20 million
pounds, is valued at s350,0OO by
fishermen.
1t is possible to step up the hake
catch to so million pounds annually,
II the public can be educated to
eat more of this fish so a price
satisfactory to the fishermen will
be assured. At the present time,
hake fishermen limit the catch
to the public demand.
Hake is almost unknown by name
by the average purchaser. The two
and half million pounds Of fllets
reaching the markets, all ready for
the kitchen, are sold as deep-sea
flllets. New England salts 2,00O, 5000
pounds for home use The larger
part of the hake is sold as whole
fresh fish.
Hake is an excellent table fish.
A 3-year-old hake is from 16 to
18 inches long with an average
weight of 5 to pounds. Thirty
pound hakes occasionally have been
taken.
They are closely related to cod
and haddock, although there is no
resemblance. The hake is far more
slender and bodied than
either the cod or haddock and tapers
to a very small tail. There are
but two dorsal fins (cod and had
dock have three. The eyes are
larger and the feeler-like ventral
fins are long. Both white and squir-
rel hakes are reddish or olive
brown on top while the underparts
and sides of the head are white or
yellowish. The physical differences
are not broad enough for even the
fishermen to tell them apart and
their habits are identical.
Hakes have the strange habit of
dragging their ventral fins along
the mud bottoms so these sensitive
organs may touch a clam or other
crustacean. Then the hake SEXES
it Most of the hake's fishing is
IN pitch darkness, the fins being
used as eyes Sometime the hake
rises to higher water levels, where
it obtains small fish
Hakes are exclusively American
flsh. They are found in the West
ern Atlantic from the Gulf of st.
Lawrence to the Virginia Capes and
North Carolina. In season, hakes
may be found anywhere from the
tide line down to a depth of 300
fathomS.
