stitution and reaflirmed by the
United Nations Charter.
Stresses Four Arguments.
Mr.. Stanfill summarized the many
arguments advanced In favor OF ma
tional representation for the Dis
trict over the 150-odd years of the
citys existence. These four, he said,
were outstanding:
/. 1t is mot in keeping with our
theory OF government to have hum
dreds of thousands Of citizens dis
franchised merely because they hap
pen to be domiciled within the Dis
trict. when citizens Of States con-
tanning smaller populations are
granted the full right of suffrage
q. That Congress, in spite of the
fact that "the very root of our Ma
ton is deep in the concept of self
government has not seen flt to
insist that the principle of self-gov-
ernment exists for the residents of
the Capital of the Nation"
8. TT is unfair and undemocratic
to deprive residents of the Dis
trict Of Columbia of the right to
vote, yet in time of war. order them
to fight when they are given no
voice in the Government which
orders them to fight: and that it is
undemocratic to tax the voteless
when they have nothing to say
about the tax laws or where the
money is spent or how it is spent. :"
Cites Battle for Vote.
4."The citizens of the District
have fought a long and valiant
battle for this amendment which
..does not propose the admission Of
the District as q sovereign state.
does not propose the destruction OF
the ten miles square provision OF
the Constitution; does not lessen In
the smallest degree the control by
the Nation, through Congress, Of
what remains Of the ten miles
snuare' 80 nor disturb in any
vay the financial relations Of Ma
ton and Capital"
one of the main arguments made
nv proponents of national represen-
tation. Mr.. Stanf1l said, Is that
..taxation without representation Is
tvranny." He added that this . :
ruth which has been recognized In
our free country since the days OF
the Boston Tea Party and Is one Of
the cardinal points In the Declare
ton Of Independence.
1T is our high duty. ne con-
tinued. ITO give these people what

mains on a line anywhere in the
country we will consider the indus
try picketed and strikebound."

of pickets Through injunctions)
will not in the minds of strikers
constitute the actual removal of
those lines"
Mr., Beirne said he had received
a telegram from Secretary of Labor
Schwellenbach in which the cabinet
member said he would "be happy to
confer with U.s." |

HOLLYWOOD
By GENE HANDSAKER

HOLLYWOOD-Louise Albrit- ton will have you believe that when she feels depressed she washes her apartment windows.
 "When I'm dissatisfied with my work, I go home, and tear into things like mad, rearranging fur niture, tidying up my apartment" said the tall, shapely actress with the gray-green eyes.
 Working with soap and water does something for me just love to do dishes. Great stacks of dishes-after give a party or when I'm in somebody's home"
 Louise's hands certainly weren't dishpan-red. They were smallish and neatly red-nailed. But she in sisted that she washes dishes at least twice week.
 Louise is energetic, impulsive, intense. She has a pretty, oval face and her blonde hair was con- cealed by a tall, red-brown wig that takes 20 minutes to apply and is horrible to wear"
 Imagine having this around the edge of your scalp all day." she said.
 1 asked Louise what kind of person she is.
 "A dreadful person." she cried. Some say Pm temperamental, but I don't think so. Temperamental people blow up for show. I blow up only when I have a reason. I think Pm kind, simpatico and too generous. You can be too generous for peoples own good, you know"
 Louise, 25, was born in Wichita Falls, Texas, was a tomboy and enjoyed hiking and camping out with her father and older brother and sister. Fancy clothes meant and still mean little to her she'd rather collect prints of paintings, particularly Van Goghs.
 There was wonderful man." Louise sighed. "He used to hike IT miles every day just to sit on the gate and watch his love leave or enter her house."
 Reading biographies is favor ite pastime; or listening to records of the classics; or hiking with girl friend to the peak of Mount Baldy and camping out.
 I asked whether she ever finds men perched longingly on her own gate.
 "No romances," she smiled.
