Roll Call on Home Rule

The House, by a roll call vote of
1T to 147, late yesterday adopted a
rule on the District Charter Bill,
limiting general debate to two hours,
preventing points of order and leav-
ing the measure open to amend

hours and preventing technical
points Of order but leaving the bill
open to amendments.
The bill is being considered while
the House is sitting as Committee
of the Whole, when any member
supporting or objecting to q pro-
posed change may be heard for five
minutes.
Hesitant on Predictions.
Since the House almost without
fail adopts procedural orders recon-
mended by its Rules Committee. the
role call vote on the rule in this
case was close enough-a margin OF
only 80 votes-to make both pro-
ponents and opponents hesitant
about predicting final House action
on the bill itself.
After q full hour of sharp, emo
tional debate over the rule, a voice
vote was taken on the rule and Ma
jority Leader Halleck, who was in
the chair, said the rule appeared to
be defeated. A standing vote then
was asked, and this showed the rule
was lost by count of 73 to 66. Both
Chairman Allen Of the Rules Com
mittee and Mr.. Dirksen jumped to
their feet, demanding roll call, and
this was ordered. The result saved
tine day for the time being. Had this
test been lost, the bill would have
been dead for this Congress.
All of this followed a series OF
speeches, during which the present
appointive city government was both
defended and attacked and the pro-
posed limited home-rule plan praised
and denounced.

There are more colored people
in Richmond than there are in
Washington, the District Committee
chairman said. Yet. he emphasized,
Richmond has just adopted a
"brand-new charter" in line with the
city manager form of government
growing rapidly throughout the
country.
Calling on opponents to effectuate
freedom and democracy" in the
District by passing the bill, he
charged that critics of the measure
were attempting to keep Washing
ton disfranchised.
Mr.. Dirksen declared that oppon-
ents of the bill in effect were saying
that Its all right for you to serve
your country on the field of battle
but not to go into a polling booth"

manager pert inent questions and to give in
 telliGent answers. Good directors are the
 very foundation of a strong coop nerative. The
 solution is to encourage patrons to vote for directors strictly on the basis Of their liability to render real service to the coop lerative. :..,. s.... Ono of the characteristics that are vital in Ia good manager is illustrated in the manager $that was aDnroached by director to give Ispecial favor to a. stockho1der. rhether this
 manager is young or old, whether he is new lin his present job, his answer must be the lsame. There can be no snecial favorsi tQ any patron tor patrons) in a cooperative that is Ito be truly stDonG. Special favors have Iueallene d--and probably destroyed--as rlany Icooperatives as has outright dishonesty on the part Of the management.
 f-ou much information should a manager issue Ire gularly to his board Of directorso More land more facts; this is the only way that Ia director an be e7pe cted to see the co-op's Iproblems as the manager does. Te forget that directors were patrons before they were boart members and that they are still natrons.

Ac cord ing to word received by John DeVries, i've learned that the IIenning Bensons have st tarted back on their trek to Alaska on April F. If everything goes we'll they lhoDe to be back b. the first of Hay.

 Tflo need is urgent for a good board of dir ec tors, and we as managers are probably res0orsible for sone Of their shortcomings. Take the case Of a typical director, far rler vho has lived in the sar1e trade terri tory for several years. ---Hc was elected td the board not because Of any effort on his part but because he is we'll liked by his ne ighbors, and because they think he will be q good representative of his area. Tie attends board meetings regularly, listens to the reports of the manager, and takes part in discuss ion Of the co-op's s problems, He discovers the answers to rany quest ions that oc cured to in as rnembe r-oHner and patron. Gradually he deVe1oDs Q sense of :. resoons ib ility for the organ izat ion' s vel fare.
 Presently another member confronts this director with story of mistreatnent at the hands of the manager or other employee. Tae transaction, as described, seems very unfair. The new director goes to the man.
 
 Tot being a seasoned director, he says to the manager ,"ATter hearing both sides Of this argument believe you are right, but coul dn't you have given this uan'a grain a smaller discount, or given him lover price on his purchase, or extended him mort credit2 T-is cooperative is owned by the farmers Of this community. They are en- titled to sore breaks, and don't believe in such rigid trade nractices. ~c can't . afford to offend our members. Con't you make an exception in this case? eEc is a large operator and carries lot of 'influ ence:" Tte SC are very normal remarks for new director. Ee himself is a patron. He is not yet an experienced director. This might even han en after the director has served a year. Now at this noint, many cooperators will say to this dtrec tor .nTTou have done a good job, but we are sa5sing tn is irectorshi0 around. -" The board of direc tors is not sof4eth1ng to be jug. . gled around just to keep everyone hapny.

'Pomp To Attend Crownit,g OF Their
|Mojesties At High School Carnival

Preparations have been com-s
pleted for the High School carni-
val ball which will be staged at
the 18th Street gymnasium, Feb
ruary 2 at 8 .. m. under the aus
ruary 2 to 8 p. m. under the aus
pieces of the High School Band
auxiliary, of which j. Guy Krebs
is president.
According to the band director,
Pat Rooney, every effort is being
made to set the ball on a plane
worthy of such a social affair.
Instead of a modern selection,
the entry of the king and queen
and their court will be made to
the music of the ''Triumphal
March" from Aida, played by
the high school band and orches-
ira which will afterwards play
popular dance music for the re-
mainder of the evening.
According to plans, the dance
floor will be darkened during the
progress of the king and queen
and their retinue to the stage
which will then be flooded with
light after they are seated, thus
revealing for the first time the
identities of the royal couple and
their grand duke and grand duch-
ess.
These have been selected from
the senior class by the band and
orchestra members and their
names will be kept secret. The
court will be composed of a boy
and a girl from each class, select
ed by the same organization and
voted upon by the class from
which they came.
Following the coronation, the
assemblage will be entertained
with a floor show, a highlight of
which will be a minuet staged by
Junior High school students in
costume. Songs and dance num-
bers will also be on the program.
The ball will be preceded by the
arrival of the king by boat which
will dock at 4:30 p. m. at Pelham's
wharf at the foot of Dupont street
where he will be met by citizens
in car Anyone from any part
of the county is invited to join
this group, of course, in autos, and
to take part in the parade along
the principal streets of the city
with the City hall as its final des-
tination.
There the king will greet his
queen and her court who will
be on the balcony, after which he
will be presented with the key to
the city by Mayor John r. Watts
Preceding the parade, the queen
and her retinue will be entertain
ed at a tea, the location of which
will be announced later.
Committees from the auxiliary
have been working indefatigably
under the leadership of Mrs. M.
E MeRae, towards making the
event one long to be remembered.
The king who will arrive by
boat to reign over the festivities
this week greeted his subjects by
letter, a copy of which follows:

Boy Held in Girls Death
Quizzed in Earlier S|ayinq
by The Assoeioied Press

CHICAGO, May 3l-A 14-year-
old boy. held for Grand Jury action
in one Staying, faced further ques-
tioning today in the death of another
playmate three years ago.
w. A. Cowell. district attorney of
Kewaunee County, Wise, has asked
that the boy, Roy Adams. be quizzed
again about circumstances of the
drowning of Wallace Leyse, 6, Of
Kewaunee on June 7, 1945.
Cowell made the request after a
corners jury recommended that
Adams be held to the Grand Jury
for smothering 8-year-old Nancy
Schuler in his bedroom last Thurs
day.
Cowell told Toughy, Cook County
states attorney, that Adams and
Leyse had been together when Leyse
drowned near a breakwater in Lake
Michigan. The drowning was deemed
accidental after Adams said Lyse
apparently had stumbled into the
lake from the breakwater. Adams
said he was gathering stones along
the base of the wall at the time and
did not know Leyse had fallen until
he saw his head in the water.
