Decision on Home Rule Spurs
Plan to Press Senate Action

legged unconstitutiona1ity of the
delegation Of the legislative
powers Of Congress-"
Reaction on the House side
emphasized that legislation still
must be enacted. If the city is
to be given home rule. In fact,
there was more talk there about
providing a voting District
delegate in the House than for
any full-fledged elected city
government. Such a bill already
has passed the Senate.
Auchincloss Comments.
Representative Auchi ncloss,
New Jersey Republican, who
championed the ill-fated home
rule bill in the 80th Congress,
said: 1.-THE decision Of the Su-
preme Court pulls the rug out
from under the opponents of
District home rule on the only
real argument they had in ques-
tioning the authority of Con-
gress to delegate its powers"
However, Mr.. Auchincloss said
he now is interested in the non-
voting District delegate bill. He
has been sponsoring one similar
to that passed by the Senate.
Representative O'Hara, Re-
publican, Of Minnesota, chair
man Of the Judiciary Subcom-
mittee of the House District
Committee, which is in charge
of the suffrage bills already re-
ferred to it. said he will discuss
the program with committee
leaders.
District Committee Chairman
Simpson, Republican, of Illinois,
said. he will confer with MIR.
O'Hara and Mr.. AuchincloSs and
added he will follow his policy of
operating by subcommittees."
Sees System as Successful.
MY job is to preside at the
full committee meeting" he said.
"And when the full committee
sends bill to the House floor,
the chairman of the Subcommit-
tee handles the bill. feel this
policy of operation has been very
successful"
Representative Allen, Republi-
can, of California. one of the
sponsors of the Auchincloss bill
in the 8Oth Congress, said he
thought the Supreme Court de-
ciSion cleared up the status of
home rule legislation.
Representative Miller, Demo-
crat. of California, a former
member Of the District Com
mittee, an advocate of WASH
ington home rule. said : "The
court decision carries out what I
think is the basic American law"
Senator Morse. Indepedent, of
Oregon. newest member Of the
Senate District Committee, who
has questioned how much home
rule there coulde be under the
pending Senate bill, said: 1.-THE
(court) decision is historic and
is in complete conformity with
the position on the legal princi-
pals involved which have ex-
pressed for a long time.
ut now clears the way for the
Congress by appropriate legisla-
ton to establish first class citi-
zenship for all in the District" I"

the decision enthusiastically,
both in its integration aspects
and in its home rule possibilities.
He pointed out in his first
private Citizen" broadcast over
Radio Station WWDC, that the
Board of Commissioners has the
power TO enforce the law or re-
peal it.
Director Elmer w. Henderson
OF the American Council on
Human Rights issued a state
ment declaring:
THE Supreme Court has struck
a mighty blow for Democracy in
the Nations Capital today"
I'VE are sure that the public
places affected and all the peo-
, pie will accept the decision in
good grace. We shall all be on
guard to see that it's terms are
faithfully carried out"
DR.. Caroline F. Wair, president
of the Board of Directors of the
Washington Urban league, warm
ly welcomed the court ruling.
League Halls Decision.
"The Washington Urban
League" she said, naturally halls
the Supreme Court decision up
holding the equal service laws for
restaurants and other places of
public accommodations because
it removes the blot from the
Nations Capital while contribut-
ing to the comfort and conven-
ience of it's citizens"
In answer to the question of
what effect the decision would
have in inter-group tension. DR..
| Wair said:
"The league believes there is
no need for increased tensions,
since the decision merely legally
UNDERWRITERS the present practice
of many local restaurants which
have been serving all well-be-
haved persons, regardless of race,
creed or color.
"The Supreme Court decision
is major step toward making
Washington truly symbol of de-
mocracy for the United States
and advances this Nation in the
eyes of the critical world by
bringing practice into conformity
with it's precepts."

home rule and the elimination
Of segregation.
AS to the home rule question
he suggested the bill would be
improved by the election, instead
OF the appointment by the Presi-
dent, Of a mayor as chief admin
istrative officer.
Senator Gore, Democrat. of
Tennessee, a member of the Dis
trict committee, commenting
only on the home rule angle of
the case, said: This is a sig.
niflcant stride toward real demo-
cratic home rule in the District" +"
Senator Kefauver, Tennessee
Democrat. and sponsor of an
earlier Washington home rule
bill. said there never had been
any question in his mind about
the right Of Congress to dele
gate purely city legislative pow
ers to an elected District govern
ment.
Not Policy Ruling.
Representative Hyde, Republi-
can, of Maryland, said he does
not feel the decision will have
any influence one way or the
other on the prospects for home
rule because it is a ruling on a
technical point and not on policy.
A more enthusiastic response
came from the Washington Home
Rule Committee, one of the citi-
zens groups fighting for an
elected city government. It said:
"The courts clearcut, forth

Sees Doubts Cleared Up.
The committee said the court
ruling could leave no doubt to
lawyer or layman that Congress
can give District citizens "the
power to elect their own officials
and administer their own af-
fairs"
The Home Rule Committee said
public interest in other is

Restaurant Integrotion Ruling
Brings Varied Reaction Here

Reaction to the Supreme
Courts decision barring segre-
cation in Washington restau-
rants today was widely varied.
"Gratiflcation" was expressed
by Attorney General Brownell
He declared the courts action
represents a significant forward
step towards accomplishment of
President Eisenhower's anti
segregation program"
The Justice Departments par
ticipation in the case, he ex-
planned, was in furtherance of
the policies laid down by Presi-
dent Eisenhower in his state-of-
the-Union Message to Congress
February g"
In that message the President
said: II promise to use whatever
authority exists in the Office of
the President to end segregation
in the District of Columbia, in
Guiding the Federal Govern
ment."
To Aid Enforcement.
The Attorney General said his
department will cooperate fully
with the District authorities in
regard to future enforcement" OF
the old laws upheld by the court
He said the administration is
studying the question of what
measures the Federal Govern.
ment can and should take ir
further execution of the PreSi-
dents policy to use the full au.
thority of his Office to end segre-
cation in the District"
Commenting on the court or.
der for a re-argument of the
school segregation cases now
pending before it. the Attorney
General welcomed the oppor-
tunity to take part in the ora
argument and to file an addi-
tional brief.
Some favorable comment or
the court decision came from
members of Congress. But sew
eral in both the Senate and the
House who have consistently op.
posed both home rule and inte-
grafton in Washington, declined
to comment. Most of them said
they wanted first to make care
full study of the courts full deci-
sion.
Representative Allen, Repub-
lican. of California, a member
of the House District Committee
characterized the decision as ap-
propriate and in line with his
personal views.
No Comment by Davis.
Representative Davis, Demo-
crat, of Georgia, one Of the most
outspoken foes of all moves to
break down segregation in the
District, was one of those who
declined to comment.
Representative Harris, Demo
crat. Of Arkansas, one of the
leading Southern opponents OF
home rule for Washington, said
he will look closely at the courts
complete text.
Regarding the DECISIONS ruling
on both integration Of restau.
rants, and the po~er Of Con-
greSs to delegate Legislative
power to the District Govern
ment. the District Committee
member declared:
I'm view of the fact that re-
codiflcation of the District Code
omitted the old law of 1873
which the Supreme Court now
has validated, it may very well
be that, after analyzing the deci-
sion, the District Committee
should go into the problem to
determine whether any legisla-
tive action is necessary"
Former District Commissioner
F. Joseph Donohue, a staunch
opponent of segregation during
Evening star., 1953-06-09

The Supreme Court ruling
that Congress can delegate leg
islative powers to the District is
cheering advocates Of Washing
ton home rule and squirting
plans for action-at least on the
Senate side.
Chairman Case of the Senate
District Committee. a leading
sponsor Of plans for an elected
form of city government. planned
to call a meeting of his group
maybe for some day next week.
He said he will consult with
Senate leaders as to chances Of
passage before the end Of this
session.
But regardless Of when Senate
action comes, he said, he would
like to have his committee re-
port out the latest version of
the bill, which is co-sponsored
by 80 of the Senators.
Question Of Debate Time.
If time for Senate debate can
be found soon, he indicated,
committee action can be expe-
dited; otherwise. quick commit
tee action is not necessary.
Under the pending Senate bill,
there would be an elected city
council of nine members, with q
mayor as chief city executive
appointed by the President and
confirmed by the Senate.
The council could budget, tax
and spend and adopt all other
purely local laws-all subject to
modification or repeal or rever-
sal by Congress. which also could
initiate any bill on any District
subject.
There also would be an elected
school board and a non-voting
District delegate in, the House.
House Lacks Enthusiasm.
On the House side, District
Committee leaders planned to
confer on what should be done.
They had no immediate plan,
and the response there was short
of the enthusiasm on the Senate
side.
In the Republican 8Oth Con-
greSs, the House Committee sup
ported the Auchincloss home rule
bill. which died on the House
floor. Twice since then, the
House District Committee has
buried two different home rule
bills passed by the Senate, in
1949 and 1852.
The ruling that there is no
constitutional bar to the grant
ing by Congress of home rule
powers to a District government
was contained in the Supreme
Court decision in the Thompson
Restaurant case over the 1873 act
of the Districts Legislative AS
sembly. banning racial discrim-
nation by restaurants.
Attorney General Brownell,
voicing qualification over the de-
cision. said the Justice Depart
ment's participation in the case
was in line with policies laid
down by President Eisenhower.
Mr.. Brownell expressed the
hope that the court ruling, by
removing all doubts about the
power Of Congress to give the
District "an effective voice" will
clear the way for congressional
action on home rule legislation.
. Senator Case, who has been
holding up Senate District Com
mittee action in the hope of get
ting the Supreme Court ruling,
said the finding was substan-
TALLY in line with the position
he took a year ago when the Sem
ate passed the 1852 bill.
That bill, like the one now
pending, he said, twas something
akin to a territorial type of gov

he continued, "justifles the watt
