Harry P. Cain, former Senator
from the State of Washington

Iversive Activities Control Board
today deplored the lack of a
right to vote in the District
lat ceremonies observing Citizen
ship Day.
Mr.. Cain, speaking at the
Washington Monument Grounds
declared that here in the Dis
ltrict of Columbia we honor new
citizens. the native-born who
having attained the voting age
Iof 81 years, now come into their
citizen rights. and the foreign
born who, by naturalization. now
enjoy its blessings also.
But, he added, this ritual
strikes an ironic undertone in
this voteless community"
Commenting that Citizenship
Day observances have been en-
Icouraged nationally by President
Eisenhower and locally by the
District Commissioners. Mr.. Cain
added: CAS- we pause to count
all the blessings which American
citizenship confers we need not
Ioverstress that the right to par
,ticipate in government and to be
governed under laws made and
administered by fellow citizens
of our choice is not available
here"
Appreciated Here
Mr.. Cain declared that CON
sidering the persistence of the
agitation in the Nations Capital
for the franchise and self-gov
eminent. the citizens obligation
to vote is more thoroughly ap-
Ipreciated here than elsewhere.

One of the chief reasons for the

five starts this year.

pitcher who fell victim to the

Bob DIN Predicts
Moore Will Take
IMurciuno's Title

GROSSINGER, N. Y, Aug. %
P.-Former fighters generally
are among the worst pickers OF
fights, but that never stops them
from going on the limb.
Bob DIN, former light-heavy-
weight champion, is no excep-
Ition. After watching Rocky
Marciano work out DIN pre-
dicted yesterday that he would
lose his heavyweight title to
Archie Moore, the light-heavy-
weight champion, at Yankee
Stadium September 20.
Il have the greatest admira-
ton for Rocky" Olin said, but
this time he is in against a
man who not only knows all the
tricks, but can hit with the best
of them. If Moore gets Rocky
in trouble he won't let him get
away. And he will get him in
trouble, you can bet on that"

fore they have to hit what ]
want them TO-"
Although the former para
trooper didn't say it, another
factor in his squirt is the fact
that the club is giving him the
runs to work with.
Two of Bulbs losses were -
one run and three of his defeats
saw the Braves shut out. But
in his last two outings the club
has scored a total of 10 runs.
Bob, who comes from Sag
NAV, Mich, figures he'll start
six or seven more games if the
Braves present pitching rota-
ton holds. If his mates con-
tinue to provide him with a
cushion of runs, Buhl might well
be a nominee for comeback OF

ran the mile and three-sixteenths
in record breaking time of | :5435

ord for that distance, set by Pla-
tan at Arlington Park recently.

rode Citation the day the Calu-
I met ace passed the million-dollar
mark in earnings by winning the
