Citizens Forum Hears
Beattie Urge Veterans
To Support Suffrage

Every measure designed to give
District residents voice in Con-
gress has been killed in commit
tee," James S. Beattie, speaking for
the Central Suffrage Conference,
told the Citizens Forum of Colum-
bia Heights at Powell Junior High
School last night.
"The Sumners-Capper resolution
now in the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee would give Congress the pow
er to grant District representation
in the House, Senate and the
electoral college, he said. The
committee hesitates to reject this
resolution bluntly because of the
concentrated efforts of the cieizens'
committees of Washington, he
added. -.. -.
The Senate committee is sched-
uled to resume consideration of the
measure Monday.
Urges Action by Veterans.
Mr.. Beattie urged that the situation
be brought to the attention of the
larger veterans organizations and
that they be requested to press Con-
gress to immediate action on this
most vital issue"
He noted that the objection to giving
votes to Washington is that the Dis
trict would thus become a state
when actually it is a city. This
has been disproved numerous times
by eminent lawyers, he said. wash
ington is the only city of the
tinental United States without the
right to vote. And no American in
the United States should go un-
represented in Congress"
The job now before the citizen
is to get the resolution out of the
committees and before Congress for
vote, he added. IF this genera
ton can do something about District
suffrage" he said, mot one of the
las years of the fight will have been
wasted" !" F
The forum passed a resolution to
invited Powell Junior High teachers
to the March meeting to discuss
their problems. At the same time,
the question of indorsing a resolu-
ton to establish recreation center
in place of the present tourist camp
was referred to committee for con-
sideration.
The forum accused the corpora
ton counsel and the city judges of
too much leniency when dealing with
juveniles known to have committed
acts of vandalism at the local
schools. The financial loss to the
District through vandalism and
Juvenile delinquency is astounding" +"
it was stated.
