D. {. Delegates Back
Civil Rights Program,
Ask Home Rule Plank
Same Language as Used
By Republicans Favored
For Suffrage Proposal
By Don S. Warren
By Don S. Worren
stor Stoff Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, July 12.-The
District delegation to the Demo-
cratic Convention. in an extend
ed late-morning caucus today,
went all out for >the Presidents
civil rights program, tying it di-
rectly to the situation in Wash
ington.
At the end of the meeting, which
came shortly after the convention
first session began, John Wattawa
chairman of the District delegation,
announced the group had unani-
mously gone on record seeking a
District suffrage plank in the party
platform and for six-point pro-
gram based directly on the civil
rights question.
One of these registers opposition
to any States rights plank that is
related to civil rights legislation.
Before the day ends, the delega-
tons two representatives on the
convention Resolutions Committee
Brig. Gen. Albert l.. Cox and Mrs
Ernest K. Lindley. are to submit a
District suffrage plank to the plat
form group.
Favor G. o. P. Language.
AS a first preference on the suf-
frage plank wording, the delegation
is seeking the same language that
was incorporated in the Republican
platform. This reads.
I'VE favor self government for the
residents of the Nations Capital"
The fact that this language would
be the same as the Republicans
used did not bother the District
delegation. They considered that
elemental suffrage rights for resi-
dents of the District was not a mat
ter of political contest.
In fact, the Democrats were the
first to put District suffrage plank
in their platform, beginning several
conventions past.
If this language Is not approved,
the District group will ask for a
repetition of the suffrage wording in
the 1914 platform: I'VE favor the
extension of the right of suffrage to
the people of the District of Co.

British Build Up
Troop Strength .
In Germany
Many Reinforcements
Will Be Flown Into
BIockuded Berlin
Nv the Associated Press

LONDON, July 12.-An author
itative source said today Britain
has sent considerable numbers of
new troops, including some for
nations withdrawn from Pales-
tine, to Western Germany be-
cause of the tension in blockaded
Berlin.
The informant said many" of the
reinforcements will be flown into
Berlin itself.
On Frankfurt, United States
Army spokesman said no REIN
forcements are contemplated for
American troops in Germany.
He said the Army is trying to
fill our requisitions for replace
ments of normal losses" only0
The British War Office at first
refused to confirm or deny the re-
port, but later a Wan Office spokes-
man said there is no foundation
to it,
The authoritative informant, how
ever. reaffirmed his statement.
When a country adopts diplo-
matte line like that which Britain
has adopted over Berlin, it has to
make sure it can carry out what it
says it intends to dc" he declared.
The disclosure came as Gen. Sir
Brian Robertson, British military
governor in Germany, conferred
here with the chief of staff OF the
Ministry of Defense, Gen. Sir Percy
Hollis, and other service chiefs.
Gen. Robertson few here from
Berlin last night.
Cabinet Given Review.
Earlier in the day, Foreign Sec
retary Ernest Bevin gave the cab
met an up-to-the minute report on
the Berlin crisis. Britain, the United
States and France sent notes to
Moscow last week, demanding that
the Russians end the Berlin land
blockade. The Kremlin has not re-
piled.
No informant would say exactly
how many troops have gone to
Western Germany, or how many
will be sent on into Berlin. One
source, however, said troop move
ments to the British Zone of Ger
many have been taking place over
the last three or four weeks" He
made it clear that most of the
troops were reinforcements, rather
than requirements.
Deployment Is Discussed.
The informant said the deploy.
ment was a topic at Gen. Robert-
sons conferences with service chiefs.
The new troops we're described as
mainly young conscripts with less
than a years military service.
The problem of co-ordinating
Britain's military plans in Western
Germany and West Berlin with
those of the United States and
France is being studied personally
by Field Marshal Lord Montgom-
cry, chief of the Imperial General
Staff
Lord Montgomery. after top-level
talks with the French chief of staff
in Paris, went on to Vienna yester-
day to inspect the disposition OF
British military forces in Austria.
The informant said he may pass
through Germany on his way back
to Britain.

DO YOU JAYWALK?
By RUTH TAYLOR

Maybe your town has ordi-
nances about cutting across the
street against the lights. Anyway,
you do know that if you get
hit by a truck when you are
going contrary to traffic, your
widow won't collect.
Maybe you don't take chances.
Maybe you are careful. Maybe
you are deeply concerned with
traffic fatalities and safety reg
ulations.
But are you sure you don't jay
walk other ways?
Do you follow the red and green
lights of common practice? Do
you obey the traffic rules of
procedure which enable the reg
ular conduct of daily affairs? Or
do you jaywalk?
Do you attempt to take short
cuts, to cut corners? When you
get in a jam, do you Shrek for
pressure to be put on to aid you,
or do you figure out what the
truth of the matter is and fight

MAYNOR VOICE
CHARMS CROWDS
IN MEANY HALL
BY Nat Lund in Seattle Times

BY Nat Lund in Seattle Times
Dorothy Maynor, for several
seasons established as one of the
worlds great sopranos, came back
to Meany Hall last week to de-
monstrate that even topflight
artist can improve. Her voice has
somehow rounded and deepened
since her last recital here; she
has always been performer of
considerable quiet assurance, but
there is confidence in her sing
ing now that lends it further
lustre.
Last weeks huge crowd-attend-
ing the first concert Of the sea-
sons serie Of the Associated Wo-
men Students Of the University
of Washington program
which for scope. interest and ex-
ecution would be difficult to sur
pass. Miss Maynor offers arias
and lieder with equal aplomb and
equal success; there is little in
music which she does not attempt
and bring off with superb results.
One interesting indication OF
Miss Maynor's increased artistry
was the manner in which she
sang spirituals last week. In pre-
vious appearances here, they were
beautifully sung, but too elaDor-
ately arranged, too intricately
fashioned. Now, however there
Is a simplicity and fervency about
them which is extremely effective.
Three Greek folk songs were
bighiights of the program, as was

LIKE EVERYBODY,
DOROTHY MAYNOR
SURPRISED AT VOTE

Like almost evedyone else in
the nation, Dorothy Maynor al
lowed her jaw to drop IN slack

The talented Negro soprano
couldn't believe the election re-
turns even when she heard the

Maynor.
Then she recovered her momen-
tarily lost composure and smiled
her sweet. dimpled smile.
NO Preference Disclosed

and then went on to talk like a
pedfect politician. Whatever her
personal preferences were, she
hid them
Its so wonderful to feel the
United States has been the way
we were yesterday and the way
we are today" Miss Maynor said,
and yet know that tomorrow
well put our shoulder to the
wheel.
Its good to know we can have
an election with no lives lost, and
that we can vote and know we
won't lose our lives voting as we
wish"
Miss Maynor arrived early for
her concert at $3.50 o'clock Friday
night in Meany Hall at the Uni
versity of Washington, under aus
pieces of the Associated Women
Students.
She Could Sleep
The singer had a good nights
sleep last night, which is more
then could be said for many red
eyed election watchers.
~ felt sorry for two politicians
on the train" Miss Maynor said.
"They had the radio going full
blast and didn't get wink Of,

nothing about politics."

fident that Reynolds and Upshur
would go to the Legislature where
both had served once before. Up
shur was current member. Then
it happened:
The first blow came when Gran
vile Jones Of the seventh legisla-
tive district won over his former
boss, William Upshur. for the
seat in Harrisburg. The second
blow was the bad showing Rey-
nolds made in North Philadelphia
He had been expected to carry

SO confident that Reynolds would
win that local bi-weekly assign
ed photographer to take the
victory picture at nine p. m.
In Magistrate Reynolds ward,
J. Thompson Pettigrew won his
second trip to the state legisla-
ture as a representative. He had
just succeeded himself as Dem
ocratic leader Of the Attn ward
last year.
Rev. Dennis w. Hoggard, Demo
crat, and pastor of the Mt. Carmel
Baptist church, was elected to
the Legislature from the 18th dis
trict; Mrs. Susie Moore, Demo
