They are producing machine-gun

Girls Nation Meefs;
Explores Denial Of
Suffrage 10 District

A visiting convention of teen
ayers delved into the votelessness
of the Nations Capital last night
and they indicated they might
go to bat on the subject when
they get back home.
The delegates-there are 96 of
them-are members of Girls Ma
ton, American Legion-sponsored
organization meeting here to
study American government. The
sessions are at American Univer-
sity.
Last night they heard a talk
on "Non-Voting Americans in the
District of Columbia" by B. M
McKelway. editor of The Star.
Mr.. McKelway, calling himself
one of the "voteless citizens" said
the residents of the District were
shocked" when Congress took
away their national voting rights
back in 1900. and that they have
been trying ever since to get
them back again-in vain.
Contradiction in Principles"
Mr.. McKelway called the stu
alton "a contradiction in prin-
ciples."
The girls responded with cries
Of taxation without representa-
ton" and VOWS to try to do some
thing about it back home" Then
they turned to the question of
their own suffrage and applauded
enthusiastically the idea of giving
citizens the vote at Is, instead of
81.
Mr.. McKelway recalled the his
tory OF the Capital and the clause
in the Constitution giving Congress
exclusive jurisdiction over it. The
Constitution, he pointed out, pro-
vlded no way for the Districts S
residents to vote or be represented
in Congress.
THE people living in this area
at the time the District of Colum-
bla was created were voting as
Marylanders and Virginians, until
Congress came to Washington in
1800,' he recounted.
Local Suffrage Lost in 1871.
They continued to vote for their
purely local governments after
that. But they were shocked to
discover, when they became resi-
dents of the Capital of the United
States, that they could no longer
vote for President or for repre-
sentatives of their own in Con-
gresS."
In 1871, the speaker added, even
the local voting privileges were
taken away.
But despite their lack of say in
their government, District resi-
dents pay all of their own city
expenses about g per cent which is
paid by Congress, Mr.. McKelway
pointed out.
Referring to proposals for home
rule and national representation
for the District, Mr.. McKelway
declared:
Il shall not argue the advan-
tages or disadvantages of home
rule"
Girls to Visit Truman.
But he added that most people
in Washington favor a constitu-
tional amendment empowering
Congress to give the residents
representation in Congress and a
vote for President.
That amendment should be
to the States and
adopted as part of our Constitu-
tion," he declared. Il believe it
will be, some day"
Jennings Randolph, former Con-
gresham from West Virginia and
time chairman of the House
District Committee, acted as mod
orator IN a question and answer
period.

ventions for the "Federalists" and

Meanwhile, track business
doomed.
A total of 297 1868 fans turned

that a comparison of the five

these places also was higher by
