wildly across fields and highways.
At the same time, winds of near

night asked Washington area news

which may be substituted for pledge
cards and mailed to the Community

Thousands of campaign solicitors
are still on the job, and we are
counting on their sticking with us"
Mr.. Parker said. "Our letters -
contributors in previous years who
haven't been reached or heard from
this year are going out now.
Last Report December 3.
"The newspaper Red Feather gift

one who is missed by our letters, or
possibly, by hard-working solicitors.

their assigned calls by December 8,

men and women, there are many
who want to give to Red Feather
services who have not yet given.
MIR. Parker has repeatedly en-
phasized the huge task OF 10000
volunteer solicitors working in the
District and in nearby Maryland
and Virginia. The drive has been
extended three times.

ADA Letters Urging
Home Rule Support
By Harold B. Rogers

! New members of the Eighty-First
Congress are being asked by the
Washington Chapter, Americans for
Democratic Action, to serve on the
House and Senate District Com
mittees, in the hope that support
may be built up for District Home
Rule legislation.
Benjamin Segal, ADA chapter
president, has sent out letters to
all freshmen members of the in
coming Congress urging them to
support local suffrage for the Ma
tional Capital.
Special appeals have been mailed
to 40 new members who belong to
ADA. These include Senator Elect
Hubert H. Humphrey Democrat, of
Minnesota, who defeated Senator
Ball, Republican, member OF the
Senate District Committee.
Follows Plea to Truman.
Mr.. Segal made his appeal to new
members of Congress after recently
asking President Truman to include
in his forthcoming State of the
Union message a call for home rule.
The President several times has in
dorsed home rule for Washington.
Meantime, Representative Auchin-
Gloss, Republican, Of New Jersey,
who was reelected, said last night
he has received the latest revision
of the bill for home rule and reor-
ganization of the District govern
ment. The revision is substantially
shorter than the bill which wealth.
cred several attacks on the floor OF
the House last session but was never
brought to a final vote.
Details of the revised form were
not disclosed. Mr.. Auchincloss said
he was making careful study OF
the text over this week end. 1t was
prepared by the staff of the House
District Subcommittee on Home
Rule, of which Mr.. Auchincloss is
chairman.

in the Eighty-f1rst Congress" Mr..
auClllIlClOSS OAHU, NAO WAAoo "A@
happen to it remains to be seen.
That will be up to the leadership,
and the Democratic majority in
Congress"
He recalled that the principle Of
home rule for Washington had been
indorsed by President Truman, and
the Democratic platform.
Whether there will be a home
rule subcommittee in the new Con-
gresS remains to be seen. Repre-
sentative Mcmillan. Democrat, of
South Carolina, who returns as
chairman Of the District Commit
tee, has been a strong opponent of
home rule.
He is expected to return to Wash
ington some time this week after a
lengthy tour Of the West as a men,
ber of the House Agriculture Com
mittee.
The District Committee chairman
has jurisdiction under House rules
to set up his own subcommittee.

practices law and legislation to re-
move tax exemptions and conces-
sions from any educational institu-
ton which discriminates against
any persons because of race, color
or creed.
From the floor, delegates proposed
resolutions urging repeal of the Taft

Displaced Persons Act, but these
motions were referred to the ReSolu-
tions Committee.

In a follow-up to his highly sue cesstul Wonder Man, Danny Kaye claims new plaudits in The Kid From Brooklyn" Technicolor musi cal extravaganza produced by Sam uel Goldwyn. The comedian again has the support of Virginia Mayo, Vera-Ellen and the Goldwyn Girls, the latter appearing as the l945 class ot this famous glamour ensem- ble. This feature at at the Capitol Theatre tonight and Saturday.
 The story traces the amazing ad- ventures of mild-mannered Brook lyn milkman, played by Kaye, who. quite accidentally wins a worlds championship fight. It all starts wien Kaye's sister, played by Vera Ellen, is molested by the worlds champion as she leaves the night club at which she is a singer Kaye gees to he rescue. and when the po- lice and reporters get to the spot, they find the champion flat on his back Kaye, under protest, is hail. ed as the man who knocked out the champion.
 { Kaye begins to think he's really good, and becomes a swell-headed clown, much to the disgust of his sweetheart, played by Virginia Mayo. However, another spectacular ring triumph complicates this situation.
 All of this action is played against a brilliant kaleidoscope of musical and dancing production numbers.
 Kaye hits a high in burlesque in his eccentric Pavlova speciality by Sylvia Fine and Max Liebman, frenetic satire on the ballet.
