Home Rule Comes Up
In House Tomorrow
With Backers Hopeful
First Big Fight Expected
On Rule for Two-Hour
Limit on Debote

A determined battle over the
Auchincloss plan for an elected
and recognized city government
here is to be opened tomorrow
on the House floor.
A decision is expected probably
by late Tuesday unless national
affairs intervene or opponents are
successful in using delaying tactics
in hope of killing the bill.
At any rate, any definite decision
by the House will make history since
it has not had a chance to act
finally on any District suffrage issue
for generations.
The Auchincloss bill which has
been favorably reported by the ma
jority of the House District Commit
tee and which has been given
green light by the House Rules
Committee would give the District
a limited form of selfgovernment.
Limited Debate Proposed.
The first big fight is expected to
come on adoption of the rule recon-
mended by the House Rules Com
mittee proposing a limit of two hours
on general debate, preventing tech
nical points of order, but leaving
the bill open to amendment from
the House floor. One hour is set
for debate on adoption of the rule
itself.
The Auchincloss plan, while pro-
viding for an elected city council
and an elected school board, and
putting greater responsibility in the
hands of the elected city admins
tration, still would leave final legis-
lation with Congress in keeping
with Constitutional requirements.
Sponsors of the bill appeared
hopeful last night OF obtaining final
House approval
Chairman Dirksen of the House
District Committee, who a year ago
initiated the study of the subject,
has described the Auchincloss bill,
as it finally was approved by the
District group, as means of ex-
tending "a bit of American democ-
racy and representative govern
ment" to the 861 900 residents of the
District.

publican, of New Jersey, author of
