Two Woys to Get the Vote

One virtue of Representative Broyhilps
approach to national suffrage for the people
of Washington is that it lays the ghost OF
statehood for the District of Columbia.
Or course the District of Columbia
should not be State. Yet, the fact that
only the people of the States, under the
Constitution, are given voting representa-
ton in their Government has been twisted
into the bugaboo that to give such represen-
tation to the people of Washington would,
In effect, make State out OF the seat OF
Government
The total number Of Representatives
and Senators to which a State is entitled
In Congress determines the number Of its
electors in choice of President and Vice
President. The first of two constitutional
amendments proposed by Mr.. Broyhill pro-
vides that people of the District would elect,
in presidential elections, the number of
electors equal to the whole number OF
Senators and Representatives in the Con-
gress to which the District would be entitled
If 1t 10ere a State" Such a provision in the
Constitution would effectively abolish any
implication of statehood for the District of
Columbia.
The other amendment, proposed by Mr..
Broyhill as a companion measure, follows
the traditional phraseology of an enabling
amendment, giving Congress the power to
grant to the people of the District such
representation in the Congress as Congress
shall determine. Under 1t, Congress could
provide for no representation; one or two
Representatives; one, two or no Senator'S
but no greater representation than State.
Congress at any time could repeal or amend
its decision in that respect.
Mr. Broyhills idea is that there is no
expressed opposition to permitting the
people Of Washington to vote for President
and Vice President, provided method is
authorized in the Constitution. He thinks
further that the source of most opposition
has been the controversy over the degree
of representation in Congress, particularly
the Senate. Thus the two amendments, one
for mandatory provision in the Constitu-
ton, providing District representation in the
choice Of President and Vice President;
the other enabling, but not directing, Con-
gress to provide for representation In
Congress.
The two amendments deserve study and
hearing by the appropriate committees.
Either one of them would 60 long way to
remove the disgraceful anomaly Of taxation
without representation in the Capital of
the United States. Either would represent
a great step forward. In the end, however,
The Star believes that any committee which
studied the matter would conclude that one
amendment, combining the provisions Of
both, would be preferable to two separate
amendments And one amendment, COM
bining the two provisions, would leave Con-
gress committed only to conferring voting
rights in presidential elections to the people
of washington, with the matter Of congress
sional representation depending upon the
decision of future Congresses.

Nov. "a (R.-Russia had the
floor before the United Nations

although it offered surprise con-
cessions to the Soviet arms posi-
ton including a call for q ban

French Delegate Jules Moch tIn-
yelled his plan only yesterday,

would need more time to get the
necessary word from Moscow.

the French plan probably would
be tempered by Frances insist

The Russians have made 1t
clear here and at the Geneva
Foreign Ministers Conference
that they will not accept the
Eisenhower proposal unless it is
tailored TO meet Soviet demands
for immediate prohibition of the
atomic bomb and step-by-step
arms reduction.

for prohibition of atomic test
explosions for military purposes.

PC LOSES ONE OF OLDEST
CITIZENS, AMELIA yACK, 81

Mrs. Amelia Yack, 81, who came
to Port Clinton as bride of 18,
died Sunday at her home, Ill JEFF
ferson-St, after five months i'll
ness.
Until about a year ago, the spry
and mentally alert Mrs. Yack still
walked downtown alone, and it
was only in recent months that
failing health kept her confined
to the house. She was the widow
of William F. Yack, who at one
time operated the Fulton-st meat
market which now is Neilsen's.
Mrs. Yack is survived by two
daughters, Mrs. Lillian Miller and
Mrs. Olive Emmett; three grand
children, Myron Miller Clifford
Christensen, and Mrs. Ruth Craw-
ford of Delmar, Calf; and three
great grandchildren. Funeral SER

home. The Rev. John Braun Off
ciated, and burial was made in
Lakeview cemetery.
One of Ottawa county's oldest
residents, she was born in Ger
many April q, 1863, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Gottlieb Schubert.
When she was five, her mother
with four small children came to
America to join Mr. Schubert, who
had come over ahead. Mrs. Yack
recalled that the trip over, via
sailing vessel, took six weeks.
They lived in Rocky Ridge and she
came to Port Clinton in 1881 upon
her marriage to Mr. Yack, who
sold his butcher shop at Graytown
to become associated here with Ed
Wenger in the meat business.
Three children, including Mrs,
Henry Christensen who died about
13 years ago, precede her in death.
Since 1899 Mrs. Yack had lived in
the Jefferson-st home built by her
husband. He died in 1908.
