Witnesses on Home Rule

The Senate District Com
mittee yesterday got an excep-
tional boost in its hopes for a
Washington home rule form OF
government from the testimony
of public officials and private
citizens. Those testifying in
cluded:
Senator Saltonstall: 1.-THE local
franchise was taken away by
Congress in 1874 under the
stress of unusual economic con-
ditions and for reasons that GER
tainly do not justify a continue
ton of this policy. In 1874, the
District government was bank
rupt; today it has virtually no
debt, its local tax burden is
about average for cities of this
size, and although it has a
present need for additional
revenues. it also has the capacity
within itself to provide those
revenues"
Senator Payne: "The Board of
Commissioners operates in a
vacuum. The greatest need
Of the District today is a chan
mel through which its citizens
can translate their interest and
leadership into government and
programs. To be deprived of
the right of self-government at
the local level is to be deprived
of citizenship itself"
Senator Lehman: 81 doubt If
more than a handful of members
of the Senate understand Dis
trict problems. outside of mem
bers of the District Committee.
I believe Washington residents
want home rule; they are. en-
titled to it."

political parties will be realized.
"The Democratic platforms, he
said, had been in favor of home
rule since 1892.
Philip L. Graham, publisher
of the Washington Post and
Times-Hearld newspaper, said
home rule was related directly to
the practical problemes of slum
clearance and other major city
problems. These, he said, can
be solved only if there is wide
spread city support which would
come from an electorate.
Frederick E. Reissig, executive
secretary. Washington Fedora
tion of Churches: cit is not a

Nicely Is Confident
Senate viii Speed
Home Rule Passage
BY Don S. Worren

Early Senate passage of the
Washington home rule bill, pro-
viding for an elected form of
city government here, was con-
fidently predicted today by
Chairman Neely Of the Senate
District Committee.
And with eyes already on the
House District Committee. where
earlier bills have been buried.
he said he planned to call a
prompt meeting of the Senate
group to report out the bill.
This may come next week. APP
proval there has been expected.
His statement was in reaction
to a humping enthusiastic hear
ing of nearly two-and-a-half
hours yesterday afternoon when
supporters of the city suffrage
measure wheeled in their "big
guns" to win the Senate battle
for the bill.
Seven Senators Testify.
In response TO urgent mes
sages that in earlier hearings the
battle line was weak. the expo
nents of home rule really mar
shaled their forces yesterday.
They brought up testimony from
seven Senators. statements from
three more, and words of praise
from more than a score of others.
Miss Cornelia Hill, represent
ing the District Federation of
Women's Clubs, was the only
witness approving the bill. She
asked to be heard for a few
moments in rebuttal.
Miss Hill said she wanted to
deny arguments that opposition
to home rule bills was based
either on "fear or selfish inter-
ests." Rather, she argued, 'it is
a matter of experience"
There is no such thing as
home rule for the District" she
contended, "for Congress never
will give up its control over the
Federal City"
Can Give, Then Take.
She argued. too. that if this
Congress voted for the bill,
another Congress could vote it
away.
Let's put first things first"
she pleaded. 1.-THE first thing is
to give the District voting repre-
sentation in Congress. Here, we
have put the cart before the
horse. 1t would be half loaf
as to suffrage. If we get that,
we never would get representa-
ton in Congress.
Chairman Neely softly con-
tested her views but wound up
a philosophical discourse on this
with a remark that Congress
never would be deceived by such
an argument"
Senators testifying for the bill
were: Republicans Payne of
Maine. Saltonstall of Massa-
chusetts, Case of South Dakota, |
Beall of Maryland and Barrett
of Wyoming. and Democrats
Lehman of New York and Neu-
berger Of Oregon.
In addition, statements were
filed by Senators Duff of Penn
sylvania and Dirksen of Illinois. !

Committee: without it (home
rule law) residents of the Dis
trict will be forced to take what
Congress is persuaded to hand
out to them. It violates every
principle of the American form
of government"
Senator Beall: "I think resi-
dents of the District should have
the same privileges enjoyed by
residents of suburban areas of
Maryland. I am very happy to
go along with this bill"
Senator Kefauver. author of a
former District suffrage move:
"The bill would give to the
people of the District effective
control over their own affairs
and this is long overdue"
Senator Duff: "It would give
the taxpayers Of the city the
first voice they have had In 80
years as to how their local taxes
should be spent. 1t would take
away from the Communists a
prize propaganda item-con-
stantly exploited-by extending
the principles of democracy to
Americas show case"
Senator Dirksen: "It may be
argued that the citizens of
Washington don't want to run
their own town. II that is so, it
will be revealed very quickly
under the terms of the pending
bill whicheprovides that the first
step shall be a referendum on
whether the law (charter)
should take effect"
Senator Neuberger: "What
possible reason, in Heavens
name, can there be for denying
home rule?" If justified, he
asked, ''why not carry it to the
State capitals and to the seats
of county government"
Senator Barrett: 1--WE ought
to show to the whole world that
we do not countenance disfran-
chisement Of the people of the
National Capital. We now give
a lot Of time to the District. We
ought to let them have their own
representatives and let them do
the work"
Chairman Nicely saved former
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue to cap the day. He came
through with cheers from the
sidelines with a story about his
meeting with Princess Elizabeth,
now Queen of England, on her
visit here.
The question arose, he said, as
to whether he was Governor
of the District" and Commissioner
Donohue said he told them "No,"
that he was only one of a board
of appointed Commissioners.
The Duke of Edinburgh, Com
missioner Donohue related, COM
mented: Then you are some
thing Of a dictator"
' Mr.. Donohue said he had
agreed.
Others heard included:
Rabbi BalfOur Brickner: "Ciyic
responsibility is best expressed
by use of the ballot box and
Washington home rule . The
thought that Negroes would con-
troll the District Government, he
said, was a spurious argument"
To accept it. he said. would be TO
yield to prejudice"

Praise Brings Applause.
Their praise for the bill wax
marked by repeated bursts of
applause from about 100 persons
who crowded into seats in the
District Committee room. Chair
man Nicely smiled and voiced his
appreciation, as did all pro-
ponents.
The arguments ran almost
through the whole gamut of the
home rule issues, except for any
specific debate as to whether
Congress would be inclined to
cut down on the size of the Fed
eral payment if the city were
given home rule. The issue had
been raised earlier by several
witnesses, including both sup
porterS and opponents of the bill.
Points in Argument.
Arguments of proponents in
cluded these thoughts:
That it was un-American and
un-democratic to deprive citi-
zens of the National Capital of
the right to vote;
That a majority of Washing
ton residents wanted to assume
the responsibility of self-gov-
ernment;;
That, however good or bad the
city government should be rated,
local citizens should have their
proper civic responsibilities laid
ON their shoulders. This. it was
argued, would relieve members
of Congress of the chores of
having to act as Washington's
