Stop Church
Services In
Courthouse

Holding religious service in
the courtroom in the county
court house has reached a point
where the county commissioners
have decided to discontinue
granting the privilege to any
denomination to use the court
room on Sunday or any other
day.
When permission was first
granted, it was explained at the
meeting, it was for services to
be conducted on Sunday morn
ing. Before long others asked for
the use of the courtroom In the
afternoon and then at night.
The demand did not stop
there, it was further explained.
Denominations or Sects, other
than those that were using the
courtroom, also applied for per-
mission to conduct services there.
AS a result, several groups APP
piled for permission at the same
hour, and, so there would not be
any discrimination, the commits
sionerS decided not to grant
privileges to any denomination.

REVOCATION OF RUL-
ING MEANS NFLA-
TON; NON-REyOCA-
TION MEANS STRIKE
CONTINUES
any Associnted Pressl

WASHINGTON, Sept. IL
The War Sterilization Board is
scheduled to hold hearing this
afternoon on it's ruling that re-
fused to grant the scale of wages
to maritime unions that had been
agreed to by their representa-
tives and officials of shipping
interests.
1t was said that if the board
revokes its ruling, it will result in
demands being made by other
unions that are displeased over
rates of wages fixed by the WSB.
Besides, the efficacy of the board
would be affected to so great an
extent, the board would be de-
prived of much of its power.
Worst thing of all, it was
pointed out; is that if the board
backs down on its stand, the re-
suit of the increased wages of
seamen will give an impulse to
the uptrend of initiation.
"Such a ruling" a spokesman
said, would be of an initiation
airy nature"
But if the board remains ada
mant, maritime union leaders de-
clare that the strike, which now
has ships tied up in ports on the
Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts,
will be continued.
One proposal submitted today
to the board is that 30-day
truce be declared while a fact
finding board considers both
sides of the dispute.

sas, who is co-author of the Sum-
ners-Capper resolution, to plan o.
series OF friendly visits" to men,
bers Of the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee in an effort to assure support
OF the suffrage measure.

February 4, when the committee is
scheduled to go into executive ses-

Capper resolution.
The proposed legislation provides
for constitutional amendment to
empower Congress to grant the Dis
trict representation in Congress and

Stress on Sacrifices Urged.
Senator Capper urged the Repre-
sentation Committee to stress the
sacrifices made in the war by Dis
trict servicemen who are deprived
of the right to vote.
THE men and women in the
armed forces from the District did
their part as citizens, yet they are
turned down as citizens in the Dis
trict," the Senator said "All the
States extended the right of suffrage
to their servicemen and women.
The District was the only place in
the United States where servicemen
could not vote. This is the seat of
Government, yet they have no voice
in the Government.
Veterans Feel Strongly"
Senator Capper said he believed
most veterans in Washington feel
very strongly about that"
The Senator also told the repre-
sentation committee that he did not
believe there was any question in
the minds of any member of Con-
gress that the people of the District
really wanted the right to vote Mr..
Beattie and Mr.. Clarke offered to
undertake a test of public opinion
on this issue in any way the Judi
ciary Committee might desire if it
would help to prove the strong con-
victions of District citizens on the
suffrage question.
