Lutheran Ministers
Call for |nter-RaciaI
Church in District

The Lutheran Ministerial As
sociation of Washington has
passed a resolution calling for the
establishment of an inter-racial
Lutheran church in the city, it
was learned today.
The action was taken Monday at
an executive meeting held in
Atonement Lutheran Church.
The Rev. Paul r. Reaser, pastor
of Keller Memorial Lutheran
Church, is president of the as
sociation. Ministers affiliated with
the association belong to churches
of the United Lutheran cra7...1,
Missouri Synod, Augustana Lu-
theran Church and American
Lutheran Church bodies.
A resolution setting forth this
and other provisions concerning
the question of inter-racial wor-
ship will be presented to the Mary
land Synod of the United Lutheran
Church, which will meet in
Gettysburg, Pa. in May.
Centrally Situated"
The District Lutherans recon-
mended that IAN inclusive Lu-
theran church" be centrally sit
uated and that representative
church building should be either
bought or built. It also stated that
the church staff should be inter-
racial.
Washington's shifting popula-
lation and the large number of
uncnurched Negroes. so per cent,
inspired the resolution, it was
said. 1t was pointed out that, al
though the colored church mem
bership is largely Baptist and
Methodist. the Roman Catholic
and Episcopal Churches are hav-
ing marked success in attracting
the unchurched Negro.
Negro Missions Urged.
A suggestion that Negro missions
be established in the Northeast
areas of Brookland, Montello
avenue. Maryland Gardens and
Langston terrace and in Eastland
Gardens was incorporated into
the motion. 1t also included rec
ommendation that a mission be
started in Southeast Washington;
one in the Chapel Oaks area of
Maryland. just beyond the North
east District line, and one in the
PetWorth area of Northwest
Washington.
A further recommendation that
church councils of the Washing
ton Area Lutheran churches be
called in February or March to
consider "our common respon-
sibilities" was adopted. It sug-
gested a study of what churches
in other cities with similar prob
lens are doing to meet the issues.
The statement also called for
an increased ministry to the
students at Howard University.

D. {. Delegate
Bill Supported
In Both Parties
AuchincIoss Measure
Also Streumlines
~;stri-. Government
By Harold B. Roqers

Bipartisan support arose today
among members of the House Dis
trict Committee for legislation to
provide the District with a nom
voting delegate in the House.
Chairman Mcmillan of the Dis
trict Committee said he "persGn-
ally could go along with a bill Of
that type" But he added he is
not definitely committed yet to
the first measure of its kind intro
duced in the 82d Congress yes
terday by Representative Auchin-
Gloss, Republican, of New Jersey.
Mr.. Mcmillan said he will as
sign the Auchincloss bill to sub
committee for consideration. He
added also that he expects some
other measures of similar nature
to be introduced later.
The Auchcincloss bill not only
would give this city a non-voting
delegate in the House, but would
streamline the present District
Government into II departments.
Representative Harris, Demo-
crat, of Arkansas, a member of
the District Committee in the
last Congress, said he has strong
ly favored non-voting delegate.
He introduced in the 81st Con-
gress a measure somewhat SINH
lar to the Auchincloss bill.
Meanwhile, the move for ma
tional representation for Wash
ington took another step in the
new Congress yesterday. Repre-
sentative league, Democrat, Of
Texas, reintroduced a House joint
resolution for Constitutional
amendment to give the District
votes for President, Vice Presi-
dent and for such members Of
the House and Senate as Congress
shall determine.
This followed shortly after
chairman Neely of the Senate
District Committee introduced
his resolution for the same pur-
pose. There is slight difference
in wording of the two resolutions.
Both went to the Judiciary Com
mittees in their respective bodies.
"Strong as Ever"
Mr.. AuchinclosS, champion Of
home rule in the two prior Con-
crosses, explained he is "just as
strong about home rule for WASH
lngton as always was"
But feel" he added" that it
would be wise now, in order to
make progress, to take this step
for a non-voting delegate first.
My bill would set up election ma
chinery to select some one as a
delegate to Congress. This would
give the people her experience in
voting and give those interested
in suffrage the opportunity to see
the caliber of the individual
elected"
The non-voting delegate, Mr..
Auchincloss explained, would have
a seat in the House and member
ship on House Committees. He
would have a voice both on the
floor and in committees. but he
could not vote. He also could in
troduce legislation.
Tnc delegate would have to be a
qualified elector, residing in the
District, at least Is years old, and
holding no other public office.
The three District Commits
sioners would continue as under
present law. The bill would direct
them to appoint a new executive
officer, who shall serve at the
pleasure of the board and exercise
such functions as the board may
delegate to him" His pay would
be fixed by the board.

0H-Street PARKING
Is Real Solution,
.Keneipp Tells Critics

Traffic Director George E
Keneipp, answering criticism from
Capitol Hill about lack of down.
town auto-parking spaces, de-
clared today the real solution of
the problem is provision of off,
street parking lots or buildings.
1--WE can never hope to meet
the demand for curb-parking
spaces for all of the people who
would like to drive to work and
to shop" Mr.. Keneipp said.
The issue, reviewed last year at
hearings before the House District
Committee. was revived last night
by its chairman. Representative
Mcmillan, Democrat, of South
Carolina.
Mcmillan Disguised.
Mr.. Mcmillan said he was dis
gusted" with the failure of the
city government to carry into eff
feet recommendations made by his
committee.
He renewed his suggestions to
permit parking along Pennsyl-
vania avenue, F and G streets
and in other areas in or near the
business section.
Mr.. Keneipp said the District
already was moving to ease park
ing restrictions in some downtown
sections, where it was found this
could be done without creating
hazards or bottlenecks. And he
explained that some of the areas
mentioned in the House District
Committee survey are not subject
to District government jurisdic-
ton. but rather are under the
National Parks Office or the Pub
lie Utilities Commission.
Objections Met.
Mr.. Keneipp said he had agreed
that parking restrictions could be
lifted for some roadWays in the
Mall, but that objections had been
registered by Parks Office Off
cials. who have jurisdiction. Pro-
posals to provide more parking
around the Ellipse also have met
objections from Federal officials.
House committee proposals to
reduce the amount of curb space
devoted to bus stops have been
referred to the Public Utilities
Commission.
Mr.. Keneipp said also letters
had been sent to Federal officials
suggesting that some of the re-
served curb space at entrances to
Federal buildings be made avail
able for public parking when the
buildings were closed or the en-
frances not required for Govern
ment USE He said this question
had not been worked out.
Surveys Under Way.
All-day parking or rush-hour
parking cannot be permitted at
many places along Pennsylvania
avenue, Mr.. Keneipp explained,
because of the heavy right-turn
movements, as at Eleventh,
Twelfth and Thirteenth streets.
But he agreed the District may
not need all of the present park
ing restrictions in force at peak
hours and said traffic counts and
other studies now are being made.
He mentioned F and G streets as
among places where restrictions
might be eased.
The District government and its
Motor, Vehicle Parking Agency
have been seeking to persuade
private enterprise to provide off
street parking. But the parking
agency, in fact, has been getting
along with only a modest appro-
priation for a small staff and has
no fund to buy lots or build ga

None Communist Oath
ineffective, McGrath
SAYS; Asks Revision
By the Associated Press

Attorney General McGrath asked
Congress yesterday to strengthen
the law requiring union officials
to take q non-Communist oath to
get recognition by the National
Labor Relations Board.
He wants a broader statute SO
that those falsifying the oath can
be successfully prosecuted for
perjury.
The law nov simply requires an
official to swear that he is not,
at the time of oath. member Of
the Communist Party and does
not subscribe to forcible overthrow
of the Government.
This, MIR. McGrath said, should
be changed to cover the oath
takers status and beliefs. not
only as of the present time. but
also for the year previous to the
date upon which he signs his
affidavit"
The Justice Department has in
vestigated a score Of affidavits on
the theory that the union official
involved got out of the party only
long enough to take the oath. But
it has said the oath's present
tense made perjury prosecutions
difficult. if not impossible.
In letters to Speaker Rayburn
and Chairman Murray Of the
Senate Labor Committee, Mr..
McGrath said:
"A new device has been en-
volved in order to avoid the con-
sequences of the statute. This
device was used by three officers of
the Food and Tobacco Workers
Association who sent letters of
resignation to a Communist party
functionary and received in return
registered letters acknowledging
receipt of such designations"
Mr.. McGrath expressed belief
that an oath covering the past
year would meet the situation.
