ave Plans 10 Fight
Legion S Stand Here
Against Home Rule

The Greater Washington Area
Council OF the American Veter-
ans Committee has called STRAIT
egy meeting Wednesday to plan
a counter attack on the District
American Legion's opposition to
home rule.
Council Chairman Taft Feiman
of the AVG yesterday urged chap
ter representatives to attend the
8 pm. meeting at the clubhouse.
His call. which followed a week
end stand of the Legion's District
Department against the Kefauver
self-government measure, read:
"AVC is prepared to battle the
Legion's thin naturalization and
iron-curtain type Of thinking
The Legion has insulted every pa
triotic and loyal citizen of Wash
ington by its implication that
local government here might fall
into hands of forces unfriendly to
our type of government.
In letter Saturday, the Legion
urged members of the House whose
signatures appear on petition to
discharge the House District Com
mittee from control of the Senate
passed suffrage measure, to with
draw their names.
The petition now has 157 of 21a
signatures necessary for it's re-
lease. The Kefauver Bill was tabled
last session by the District Com
mittee.
AVG members were reminded
further in the council statement:
OF course the Nations Capital
belongs to all the people over the
Nation, but there is no better me-
dium through which to make it
that type than the one of home
rule which gives to Washington
what every other American has
a right to vote.
What the Legion has said is,
that the present type of COM
munity pattern control and tax
alton without representation, both
of which have deprived many
Americans birthright of Consti-
tutional rights, is what it favors.
Yes, home rule might end that
deprivation. and that we think,
is what the Legion really fears.

D. Coal Crisis
Ba|ks Officials;
Stocks Shrink
Dealers Supplies Due
To Lost z or ; Days;
Mercury Hits 20

District officials weighed the
city's coal crisis today for several
hours but came up with no new
plan or brighter outlook.
AS below-freezing temperatures
continued, the Commissioners met
with members of the District Fuel
Co-ordinating Committee for a
morning long discussion of the
dWindling coal supply.
When the meeting broke up,
the group said it had nothing to
report. Officials had indicated
earlier that they would consider
further Tightening of rationing.
They gave no hint today whether
they had revised a previous esti-
mate that the soft coal supply
in the hands of dealers would
last only about through Wednes-
day or Thursday.
Rationing Helps.
j. Thomas Kennedy, chairman
of the District Fuel Co. -ordinating
Committee, said he expected to
have an accurate estimate of the
supply later today.
Mr.. Kennedy said some dealers
had reported to him that the
rationing program had helped and
they might have enough coal to
last the entire week. He added he
will confer with dealers later to-
day in an attempt to find out ex-
actly what is the situation.
The thermometer went down to
20 degrees early today, degree
above the current winters mini
mum set last Monday and Tues
day. The 20 degrees was recorded
at lilo am. today. Yesterdays
low was 81 degrees at 11:45 pm.
and the high was 30 degrees at
l pm, the same as today's / pm.
figure.
The Weather Bureau said the
cold would continue until tomor-
row. A low of % degrees in the
city and Is degrees in the nearby
areas was predicted by the
Weather Bureau for tonight.
The winds whistled as high as
40 miles an hour yesterday but
were due to die down today, the
Weather Bureau said.
Snow Misses d. C.
Washington escaped snow such
as blanketed Richmond with 4 to
5 inches, Fredericksburg with
more than 3 inches and some
other Virginia sections with as
much as 7 inches Saturday night.
Throughout the State, the week
end snow melted rapidly.
While the commercial coal out
look in Washington was not good,
the District Government-for the
1 time being-was in fair shape as
far as coal supplies were con-
cerned.
Last week the District received
assurances that coal would be
available from the Federal stock
pile to keep the District Govern
ment buildings open about three
weeks. Roland M. Brennan, Dis
trict purchasing officer, was di-
rected by the Commissioners to
survey the city governments sup
ply at the end of this week, how
ever.
After Mr.. Brennan's survey, 1t
will be determined if the coal sup
ply situation will allow low prior

libraries and schools-to remain
