D. T.. Home Rule First
Big Task Of Congress,
Holland Tells GROUP

Home rule for the District was
described last night by Senator Hol-
land, Democrat, of Florida as "the
first and most important task with
in the power of Congress"
Senator Holland was joined in
support of the measure by Senator
Miller, Democrat, of Idaho during
seminar of the Anti-Defamation
League of B'nai Birth Independence
Lodge in the Jewish Community
Center. Their subject was What
Should Congress Do to Secure the
Democratic Rights of the Citizens of
the Nations Capital?"
Senator Holland said the present
'undemocratic" government of the
District lis travesty on the funda-
mental American principle of rep
resentative government"
Single Legal Question.
He said there is no constitutional
question of the legality of allowing
local elections of city council and
a school board and giving them
adequate powers.
Senator Holland said the only con-
stitutional question is whether i'd
ditional legislative power, beyond
the field of local municipal ordi-
nances, can be delegated by Congress
to a council
This sole legal question" he en-
phasized, "can be solved by the
courts through the years, but in the
meantime, it seems to me to be the
imperative duty of Congress to enact
home rule for the District"
In addition to plea for home
rule, Senator Miller asked for an
end to discrimination in the District.
Our Capital is strewn with the
seeds of prejudice and ugly roots OF
the remnants of slavery" he de-
clared
AS to home rule, he said he does
not see why the Senate District
of Columbia Committee, composed
of Senators from all over the coun-
try, should serve as mayor and
council of Washington"
Senator Miller quoted Theodore
w. Noyes, late editor of The Star,
at a Congressional hearing in 1915:
Every nation in the world, except
the United States, gives to the people
of its capital the same national
Representation that the people OF
Its other cities enjoy"
Arnold Foster was moderator at
the meeting. Stanley Frosh Is pres
lident of the lodge.
