Home Rule Group
Backs Vote for D. {.
In National Elections
Spencer Soys CIimute
Is Favorable for Action
On Case Resolution

The Washington Home Rule
Committee, Inc. announced yes
terday for the first time that it
will support legislation to give
national representation to the
voteless District.
Heretofore, the committee has
limited itself to backing pro-
posals for an elected municipal
government for the District. in
cluding mayor. city council and
school board.
The committee specifically in
dorSed a constitutional amend
ment proposed by Senator Case.
Republican. of South Dakota.
chairman Of the Senate District
Committee. It would permit
Congress to give the District a
vote for President and Vice
President. and representatives in
the House but not IN the Senate.
A hearing on the measure is
scheduled Thursday before a
Senate Judiciary subcommittee
headed by Senator LANCER, Re-
publican. of North Dakota.
Two Amendments Urged.
The Home Rule Committee
said it would recommend two
amendments One would let Con-
gress grant representation in
the Senate as we'll as the House,
as suggested last week by the
District Commissioners. the Cit
liens Advisory Council and the
Citizens Joint Committee on
National Representation for the
District of Columbia.
The other would allow more
than seven years, as provided in
the present draft of the resolu-
ton, to obtain ratification of
the amendment, which must be
approved by 36 States.
Such ratification. said a state
ment by the Home Rule Com
mittee. would be easier to obtain
if Washington had a 'home
rule" municipal government first.
And, the committee warned. it
was indorsing the national rep
resentatlon proposal "on its
merits. not as a substitute for
home rule. or as diversion
away from home rule. or as a
prerequisite to home rule. or as
a sop"
Climate Is Favorable.
Hope for passage of the Case
resolution was Indicated last
night by Commissioner Samuel
Spencer
Speaking over Radio Station
WWDC on its Report to the
People" program, Mr.. Spencer
said the climate now is rather
favorable" for national represen-
tation.
People are beginning to real
ize that the District should be
treated as equal to other areas"
such as States. he declared
1.-The community" he said. lis
far more united behind voting
for the President and Vice Presi-
dent and national representation
than they are for home rule"

Decision on Merger
OF 7 Banks Awaits
Result of.Stock Deal
Some Believe Buyer

Calls for stockholder meetings
to vote on the proposed merger
of the Hamilton National Bank
and the American Security &
Trust Co. will not be made until
May Is and may never be issued
it was learned yesterday.
After the close of business on
that day, the last Hamilton Ma
tional Bank stockholder desiring
to accept $110 a share for his
stock will have rendered it to
Johnston. Lemon & Co.. Wash
ington brokerage firm which
posted the offer for an unnamed
client last Monday.
Not until the returns from the
offer are known will Hamilton OF
American Security officials want
to risk calling stockholders
meetings.
Ownership Unknown.
Officials of both of these insti-
tutions pointed out that until
then the Hamilton management
will not know who actually owns
it, nor will American Security &,
Trust know who it's stockholders
might be if the merger went
through.
It's largest single stockholder
might turn out to be the mysteri-
GUS Mr.. x, the unnamed source
OF the money to buy the Hamil-
ton stock.
With no action on the merger
to be considered until after the
air clears, it is expected that
American Security may prefer
to back away from the proposal
when it discovers the extent of
the changed Hamilton owner
ship and that the mysterious
buyer will support an alternate
plan for merger of the Hamilton
with the National Bank of Wash
ington. proposal that was made
more than three months ago
but kept secret until recently.
