DC. Suffrage
Chances Slim
This Session
No Sign Thot Bill
Will Be Assigned
Must Status

Suffrage for the District now
is dying on the vine in this clos
ing session of Congress. 1t was
indicated yesterday on Capitol
Hill.
With only two months to 60
before the intended adjourn
ment. members of the House and
Senate District Committees indi-
Gated there was only a small
chance for adoption of a WASH
ington home-rule bill.
Currently. a drive Is on to get
approval Of members of the
House District Committee for a
small compromise bill for the
election Of a non-voting District
delegate in the House.
There were reports that White
House approval of this measure
was being sought.
The White House, 1t was
learned, had not yet sent any
representations to Congress to
say that this should be labeled
as must" for passage.
Sees Pressure Mounting.
The heat definitely is on, and
one agent of the House District
Committee said he did not know
how long the committee there
could stand this pressure.
The last time the case came
up before the House District
Committee, a motion to report
the delegate bill was rejected by
a vote of to 13. One of the
most vocal opponents, Repre-
sentative Abernathy, Democrat.
Of Mississippi, said that if any
bill is reported he is satisfied
it will be his measure to give
the District a delegate voice in
the Senate instead of the House.
AS he put it:
II don't believe the House will
report a bill for a delegate in the
House. The vote might be close.
But, I believe, if the House Dis
trict Committee votes out any
bill it will be one for a District
delegate in the Senate, instead
Of one in the House."
Action Useless Now.
Senator Case, Republican, Of
South Dakota, as chairman Of
the Senate District Committee,
indicated he has no current plans
to call up for Senate action the
pending bill reported by the Sem
ate District Committee, with the
joint sponsorship of 80 members
of the Senate. This bill calls for
an elected city government for
the District.
He did not close the door alto
be useless" to take a day or
two of Senate time to get action
on this bill-twice previously
passed by the Senate-in view
of the situation in the House.
He emphasized that the Sem
ate had laid aside other business
in order to give time for action
on the Districts public works
bill and other rather important
city measures.
The best chance for enact
ment of a Washington home rule
bill, Senator Case said, would
be in the beginning of a new
Congress. when nearly two years
would be available for action
in the House.
Door Left Open.
He di dnot close the door alto
gether on possible action this
session, but he pointed out that
Congress probably will quit about
August l so that members of the
House and Senate can campaign
for reelection.
The Senate Judiciary Com
mittee is scheduled to meet
Tuesday. At that time, Chair
man LANCER has announced he
will ask a reconsideration of last
weeks vote by which his COM
mittee failed to report the con-
stitutional amendment proposed
by Senator Case to enable Con-
gresS to grant the District a vote
in presidential elections and to
give the District voting repre-
sentation in the House.

District Committees
Lining Up Program
For Rest Of Session

With just about two months
left before adjournment. both
the House and Senate District
Committees are beginning to
plan for a close of District busi-
ness for this session of Congress.
House hearings have been con-
cluded on the $172.4 million Dis
trict budget as outlined before
the Wilson subcommittee of the
House Appropriations Commit
tee. At least week is expected
to be required for clerks to
analyze the problems. Once the
House acts. hearings are ex-
pected to be started Immediately
by the Dirksen subcommittee of
the Senate District Committee.
AT 10 am. Tuesday Senate
District subcommittee will re-
sumo hearings on the so-called
fair trade" act for the District.
AT IL am. Thursday a Senate
subcommittee will hold a hear
ing on a bill to allow insurance
companies chartered by the Dis
trict to invest funds in the Inter-
national Bank for Reconstruc-
ton and Development.
Utilities Hearings Planned.
On the House side. the Tale
subcommittee of the House Dis
tr1ct Committee on insurance,
banking and public utilities has
scheduled public hearing for
10 am. Tuesday on three bills.
These are on the question of al
lowing insurance companies here
to make international invest
ments; to permit cab drivers to
obtain only one numbered badge
regardless of whether the num-
Der corresponds with the number
on the cab driver license; and on
a bill pertaining to payment of
trust funds where the trustee
dies before the beneficiary of the
trust fund.
William N. Mcleod. clerk of
the House District Committee,
announced yesterday that hear
lngs would be held by House
subcommittee on the omnibus
utilities control bill recently
passed by the Senate. The date
has not yet been set.
The decision to hold hearings
was reached after he had
consulted with Subcommittee
Chairman Tale and some Dis
trict officials. This bill, growing
out Of the Senate investigation
transit problems, would give the
District Utilities Commission in
creased authority over transit
problems, including authority to
regulate the school children's
fare, now frozen by an old law
by Congress at three cents a
ride. The Senate bill would give
the commission power to raise
this to as much as one-half the
adult fare, now 20 cents cash.
Bridge Study Pushed.
In this plotting of House Dis
trict subcommittee business,
however, there was not mention
OF the conflict of interests"
business bill which the Senate
passed after James H. Flanagan
more than a year ago quit his
job as chairman of the District
Public Utilities Commission to
become a vice president of the
Capital Transit Co. The Senate
bill would put two-year restraints
on former District regulatory
officials who join the staffs of
regulated businesses on their
representations of those busi-
nesses before District groups.
Members of the House Dis
trict Committee also are trying
to bring to a conclusion this
week questions of what to do
about the various proposals for
bridges over the Potomac River
and a proposal to strengthen the
powers of the city government
for. the condemnation of insan-
itary buildings.
