AS part of an international ex-

American police techniques, some OF
which he hopes to apply in Cote
borg. He has been accompanied on
the tour by his wife.
They arrived in the United States

Chief Fontell noted any rookie
policeman in the United States can

Conference Today
Unlikely 10 Settle
Beer Truck Strike

Hopes for a settlement of the al
day-old dispute between members
of the beer truck drivers union. and
the brewery distributing companies
hinged on a meeting sponsored by
the Labor Department which got
under way at II am. today, but
conciliation officials saw little
chance for an end to the strike.
When the conferees adjourned for
lunch shortly before l pm, they
had nothing to say, except that it
appeared doubtful they would re-
sumo their talks this afternoon.
Beer-thristy Washingtonians tend
ed to view the strike with consider
ably more alarm today in view of
the imminent increase in whisky
prices when bonded liquors are re-
leased soon. Only trickle OF beer
has been reaching the city in the
last few days, while existing stocks
have nearly vanished, resulting in
dry taps and empty coolers in most
taverrlS.
Labor Conciliator James A. Hold
en-, who called todays meeting,
termed it an exploratory confer
ence." He said he would attempt to
bring the contending representa-
tives closer together and added,
they are miles apart on the issues
now"
When the members of Local 81,
Beer and Soda Water Truck Drivers
Union tAFL), went on strike Octo-
ber 9, 1t appeared that only the
question of drivers commissions on
cases and kegs of beer sold stood in
the way of settlement, Mr.. Holden
said. AS the strike continued, he
added, the union brought up num-
ber of fringe issues which have not
heen settled

Sugar Expected Here
Monday as Refineries
Resume Operations

Raw sugar was moving into re-
fineries serving the Washington
area today but the producers re-
manned gloomy over the prospects
of an early end to the sugar short
age.
A spokesman for the Franklin
Sugar Refining Co., one of two re-
finers handling about 80 per cent
of the District area cane sugar
supply, said very little would be on
store shelves before Monday.
He also predicted the sugar short
age would be felt to some degree
here for another three or four
months.
He cautioned housewives against
over optimism because of the end
of the maritime strike which yes
terday allowed stevedores to begin
unloading sugar-laden ships In
Eastern ports.
Though as much as 50,000, 600
pounds of raw Cuban sugar des-
tined for Washington is coming of
ships in Baltimore and Philadel-
phia, he said, it will take three days
before the long-idle refineries can
get back to maximum production.
The ships have been waiting to
be unloaded since october l.
The spokesman said it would be
late today before the unloading
haC reached a point where the re-
fning-mostly done in Baltimore
could be started in earnest After
that the sugar must be shipped to
Washington and distributed to re-
tail stores.
Bakers, confectioners and other
manufacturers dependent on sugar
may expect quicker relief, he said
because some of the sugar being
unloaded was refined in Cuba ano
has only to be distributed. He
added, however, that there was not
enough of the processed sugar to
answer any retail demands.

Questions and Answers
On
National Representation
For the District of Columbia
(Fourth of a Series)
An Enabling Provision, Omittinq Details

Question: Just how man1
Senators and Representatives
does the proposed amendment
permit the District to haze In
Congress-?
Answer: Remember this: The
amendment does not permit
the District to have anything
What it does is to permit Con-
gress to extend to the people OF
the District such representation
in Congress and the electoral
college as Congress considers
wise.
Question: But under this
amendment, Dould not the Dis
trict be entitled to the same
number OF Representatives that
q State OF comparable popula-
ton mould haze in Congress?
And aDould the District not be
entitled to two Senators, just as
a State is entitled to taDo Sen
dtorS? Z.
Answer: Not necessarily. The
number of Representatives and
the number of Senators, if any
to which the District might be
entitled would have to be de-
cided by Congress on the basis
of it's study-after ratification OF
the amendment-of the condi
tions peculiar to the District OF
Columbia.
Question: Well, how Uould
you decide the Doting represen-
tation to a0hich the District is
entitled, sag, in the House? Are
there not a large number of peo-
pie in Washington aDho cote In
the States already? Would it be
fair to haze those people repre-
sented taDice In CongresS-once
in the State and once in the Dis
trict?
Answer: It has been estimated
in the past that perhaps $4,000
Washington residents vote in the
States. It is unfortunate that
the Census Bureau does not
make the count of these voting
residents in every census. The
1880 census counted Is, ,105 State
voters in Washington. In 1910 a

Council 10 Act
Soon on Hospital
Admissions Unit
Bourd Approves
Recommendations of
Survey Committee

Final action will be taken next
week by the Metropolitan Health
Councils delegate body on the
recommendation of its Survey
Committee that Health Security Ad-
ministration, a private agency which
operates a hospital admissions bu-
reau, be integrated into new sys-
tenn to serve the District areas in
digent sick.
The Survey Committees recon-
mendatiorls were approved yesterday
afternoon by the councils co-ordi-
mating board, paving the way for
action by the delegate body week
from Thursday.
Minor RevisiOns Made.
DR.. Herbert P. Ramsey, chairman
of the Washington Metropolitan
Health Council, presided at the
meeting at which the recommends
tions were adopted with only sew
eral minor revisions.
The findings of the Survey Com
mittee concluded that despite its
shortcomings, HSA should be con-
tinued as an integral part Of the
community. A board Of three out
side experts for the council last
June was sharply critical of HSA
charging that the health agency was
"misflt in the hospital picture,
and that its central bureau for hos
pitals had put an unjustifiable bur-
| hn trGr -
Analyzing these findings, the
councils Survey Committee found
that HSA had its shortcomings, but
at the same time defended much
of the health agency's work. II
laid down a 13-point program tx
aid its future work. The Survey
Committee was headed by Vice
Admiral Ross T. McIntire, surgeon
general of the Navy.
Revise Expansion Proposal.
Othels findings of the McIntire
committee, which were also ap-
proved yesterday by the Co-or-
dinating Board, asked that the new
Hospital Council of the National
Capital area expand its membership
to include representatives of agen-
cies other than the hospitals them
| selves, such as the public. This
was slightly revised by the commit
tee yesterday to make it possible
for inclusion of nurses representa-
tives and other groups.
The McIntire report Is the first
of series analyzing the findings
of the three outside surveyors. The
first dealt only with the subjects
of health security administration
hospital council and hospital ex-
pansion. Others will follow.

prediction estimate by political
and partisan leaders gave 1885,
600 as the number of State
voters. At the same time, there
were an estimated 422,793 Wash
ingtonians who could not vote
anywhere. This voting popula-
tion-deprived of a vote any
where-exceeded the comparable
population of any one of IL
States. 1t is hard to understand
why the presence in Washington
of persons who vote in the States
should affect, one way or an
other, the right of Washing
tonians to vote.
As for the method of deter
mining the representation to
which Washington might be en-
titled-the amendment leaves
that to Congress, which could
adopt any system of apportion-
ing representation that seemed
wise.
Question: Why not, then,
,Urite do,Dn the method In the
amendment?
Answer: Because such details,
and there doubtless are many of
them, should be left, properly, to
legislation later on. It is unwise
and unnecessary to attempt in a
constitutional amendment to
include all detailed procedure
The proposed amendment is a
broad, enabling provision. 1t
gives Congress the important
power it now lacks and Congress
can choose how to exercise 1t
later on.
The proposed amendment is
adequate and ,phrased in Ian
|guage suitable for inclusion in
the Constitution:
"The Congress shall have power
to provide that there shall be in the
Congress and among the electors of
President and Vice President MEM
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 de-
termine. All legislation hereunder
shall be subject to amendment and
repeal"

Buyers Strike
Committee Meets
AT Dupont Circle,
Requests Pledges

Washingtonians launched the
city's first full-fledged buyers strike
today.
Banded together under the name
of the Washington Committee for
Consumer Protection, eight organi-
cations claiming membership Of
more than 100000 met in Dupont
Circle to pledge themselves not to
buy any meat costing more than so
cents pound.
Twenty persons signed the pledge
within 5 minutes as the committee
announced that every consumer in
the Capital will be given the op-
portunity to subscribe to the anti
imitation move. Thirty-three sub
stations are to be set up in the city
and nearby Maryland and Virginia
Friday.
Mrs. Hartman Signs.
Among notables signing the pledge
today were Mrs. J. Bordenf Harri-
man, former Minister to Norway;
Mrs. Clifford Pinchot, widow of the
former Governor of Pennsylvania;
Mrs. Leon Henderson, wife of the
former OPA administrator, and
Mrs. Ernest K. Lindiey, wife Of the

tinue from Friday through the
Saturday after next.

terest as committee members gath
cred at the Dupont Circle fountain.

imitation prices. I pledge will pay
no more than 60 cents pound for
any cut of meat. I will help bring
prices down by buying only what 1
need"
Campaign Purposes Cited.
Purpose of the campaign, Mrs.
Newman explained, is to bring Or
ganized consumer resistance to bear
on rising prices" She said 1t had
been proved elsewhere that con-
certed action by buyers has de-
sirable effect on price levels" when
there are no OPA controls.
She said the buyers embargo
also would be extended to shoes,
canned fruit and cotton dresses
specifically, and at the same time
urged consumers to buy nothing
which they do not absolutely need"

Deer-Whiteta deer hunting
should be good, as there as many
of this species in Spokane, Pend
Oreille, Stevens and eastern por-
ton of Ferry counties. The white
tail is brush deer and hard to
kill. Mule deer hunting should
be good in Ferry county.
Prospects are from poor to fair
