said "as of today" If the support
was withdrawn he could foresee no
change in price.

Monromey Sees Home Rnle
Bill Passed in This Session

Predicting that the revised Wash
ington home rule bill will be passed
by Congress "some time during the
present session." Representative
Monroney, Democrat of Oklahoma,
warned the Voteless District League
of Women Voters yesterday they
might have a job on their hands IN
getting District citizens to approve
the measure In a referendum.
The revised bill calls for submis-
sion of the final legislation, as it
may be passed by Congress, to an
official referendum vote by District
residents.
Mr.. Monroney declared "the
people Of the District have lost
trust in the ability to create Demo-
cratic leadership" and hkened them
to a man who has lost the use OF
his arm because it has been in a
sling for several years.
Addressing q luncheon meeting
at the YWCA, the speaker also
cautioned the league that once
home rule is assured, the people of
the District must make a continual
effort" to preserve good municipal
government. 1T would be q great
national disgrace If this thing were
allowed to backslide into party poll
tics and gang control" he declared.
He told the league members that
their opinions are valued by Con-
gress and that the action Of women's
organizations in Washington has an
effective bearing on congressional
decisions.
The luncheon meeting, which
launched two-week finance and
membership drive by the league,
also featured addresses by Mrs.
Harold A. Stone, vice president Of
the national league and Mrs. Rob-
ert F. Leonard, a past president OF
the local organization.
