to the Hatch subcommittee with re-
Quests that 1t be reconsidered in the
light of proposals for extending full
suffrage to the territories of Alaska
and Hawaii.
Senator Hatch said:
1.-THE two proposals are entirely
different but there is no conflict
between them. One is for an
amendment to the Constitution
giving the citizens of the District
representation in Congress and the
right to vote for President and Vice
President. The other is the So
called home-rule for the District
while they are entirely differ
ent, nevertheless there is this point
in common between the two pro-
posals: Each endeavors to give
residents of the District a voice in
their Government. This I heartily
approve.
Il shall support the proposal to
submit to the people of the District
in referendum the proposed char
ter form Of government In fact,
I shall do SO with enthusiasm for
it gives to the people, resident in the
District, the right to choose for
themselves their own form of local
government.
ut is to be hoped the new proposal
now pending in the Senate Commit
tee on the Judiciary will receive more
expeditions attention than has thus
far been given to the proposal for
national representation"
BilbO Blocks Proposal.
Senator McCarran introduced his
new "home rule" plan under the
inspiration of the recommendation
contained in the LaFollette-Mon
roney joint committee on the organ-
ization of Congress that Congress
should grant self rule" to reduce
the petty and time-consuming jobs
it now handles. His earlier bill has
been bottled up in a subcommittee
of the Senate District Committee,
largely as the result of opposition by
Chairman Bilbo.
Senator McCarran, who has
fought representation in Congress
for the District, pointed to local
self government" as the stepping
stone to extension of fuller suffrage
rights to the District-short of con-
gressional representation.
when, as and if self government
Is set up here, with the District hav-
ing all the facilities for voting, then
the matter of giving the District
suffrage in national affairs would
come up for consideration with a
high degree OF propriety and some
thing to be regarded seriously.
Would be First Step.
'"It would be the first step toward
the eventual granting of full suf-I
frage rights in voting for President
and Vice President"
He added he did not mean by this
the granting of representation in
the House and Senate, because Il
am afraid of that"
On this point he placed an elected
local government and votes in Presi-
Dental elections as the pinnacle of
District suffrage hopes possible for
adoption.
Previously he explained he had
left the membership of the pro-
posed charter commission open in
his resolution because he wished to
consult with civic leaders before
this was determined.
He plans early hearings on his
bill to bring out views on other
questions. His new bill is much |
broader than the one shelved in the
District Committee since it would |
give the suggested city council pow
ers to levy city taxes and spend city
revenues
Without these, Senator McCarran
agreed, there could not be a reor-
ganized city government here that
to self rule"

the towns one hotel saw four
officers, one wearing bright cam
palgn medal on colored ribbon.
Three young officers ant. a girl in
uniform left lotion truck to enter
the building, once used as a Turkish
bath.
Today my "Americaniski" was in
sufficient as passport. In fact
1t caused 10-minute delay and
repeated questioning before nv
friends and I were permitted to
enter the town.
The car in which we were riding
was halted by four young Soviet
soldiers with Tommy guns. The
first question was, Are you Ameri-
cans?" then, Where are your pass
ports and documents?"
Told we had no Russian travel
permits, the sergeant in charge sent
Tor lieutenant, who questioned usI
and permitted us to proceed only
after We told him by word and sign
that we only wanted to visit the
agricultural school in the town and
would return Immediately.
Move in BY Hundreds.
The attitude of the local people
toward the new Soviet arrivals was
expressed by town policeman on
the road near the main Russian
camp, in which I counted IA Sher-
man tanks during flight over the
area last week.
They move in by hundreds in
the night the policeman said. eff
there is one, there are thousands:
but I'm not one to stick my nose
in the business of Others"

piled:
But they are unlimited guests

O., to forward all first class mail by air during the shipping strike has been revoked and all letters must eve airmail stamps henceforth if airmail delivery is desired. A re- hinder is issued concerning pack ages for airmail-contrary to some misleading opinion, there is no air mail rate for parcel post. All do- mestic air mail travels at the rate of five cents an ounce. Regular parcel post rate is based on a
 ecaje starting at l5 cents for the first pound. This vus noI include insurance.
 All three cent mail and airmail receives dispatching preference over the one and a half cent unsealed mail so if ore wants Christmas cards to be assured early delivery, re- member that unsealed envelopes rate only third class service.
 Many lost articles and shoppers packages have been found in the Post Office lobby during the past couple of weeks and the Postmaster suggests that anyone who has been a little "absent-minded" about lay ing down parcels check with Room 10o to see if the articles are list ed in the Lost and Found" de- partment.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l4.-Key agency heads whittled away at the nations housing policy today amid signs they may make non-veterans eligible for new-home priorities.
 If this is done, housing men re- ported privately, those permitted to build will be required to release their old apartments or houses for rental to veterans.
 Veterans organizations opposed the idea when 1t was put forth by former Housing Expediter Wilson Wyatt. But they have reconsider ed, it was stated, on the theory that it may open up shelter to many veterans who cannot them selves afford to buy new houses at present inflated prices.
 This and other proposals, in cluding the raising of the present S1O,000 limit on the sales price of new homes, were being weighed by
