greatly, he observed that ''the pot

ave Chapters Urged
To Bring Out Vote by
.Ciy-Wide Canvass

Washington chapters of the
American Veterans Committee last
night were urged to initiate a door
to-door canvass ito get out the vote
for the plebiscite on November 5.
The canvass was proposed at a
meeting Of the 80 local chapter
chairmen, called by the AVG WASH
ington Area Council, to map pro-
gram Of participation in the drive
for District suffrage.
Joel Fisher, council chairman,
asked that chapters in the city send
out volunteer teams on election
eve" to push every doorbell in the
District and ask residents to vote. "
While much of the AVG program
will be aimed at getting veterans
to the polls, Mr.. Fisher emphasized
the drive will have a dual purpose.
Back District Suffrage.
First, we want to cooperate with
the plebiscite committee in getting
out the vote as a community prof.
ect," he declared. Secondly, as AVG,
we want to campaign for affirmative
votes for District suffrage"
At the AVC's constitutional con-
vention last June in Des Moines,
Ia., Washington Chapter delegates
introduced resolution calling for
suffrage here which was unani-
mously approved.
The chapter chairmen also agreed
to ask for volunteers to be made
available for whatever manpower
needs face the plebiscite committee
on November 5, and to muster as
many members cars as possible to
transport voters to the polls.
Marc Karson, chairman of the
Alexandria chapter, recommended
that each chapter in nearby Mary
land and Virginia also send yolun-
teers to aid the committee. Miss
Kathleen Nagler, chairman Of the
ave Associates-women'S unit OF
the group-promised that rs Of her
100 members would be available for
the campaign.
Suffrage Appeal Planned.
The strongest direct appeal for
affirmative suffrage votes, mean
while, will be made to the local AVG
membership, which Mr.. Fisher said,
is 3,100 strong. The members will
be contacted personally by tele-
phone. Local AVG headquarters has
members listed by 10-man teams, it
was explained, to facilitate quick
contact. One man on each team is
called and instructed to contact
others in his unit.
The local headquarters also plans
to distribute voting posters and to
campaign for the suffrage on all
correspondence sent out. Mr.. Fisher
pointed out that the campaign is in
line with AVC's national drive to
make every veteran a voter" next
The chairman appointed a seven
member committee, headed by Jack
Motley, to coordinate the local
drive. Other members include Mr..
Miss Nagler, Miss Jane
Soergel, Richard B. Tourkin, Robert
Siegel and Don Rothenberg. i
One Of the groups first activities
will be to propose pre-plebiscite
public rally. Mr.. Motley was also
directed to contact other veterans
for cooperation. inl
