BroyhiII 10 Propose
District Suffrage in
National Elections

Washington would have not
only a vote for President and
Vice President, but representa-
ton in Congress under constitu-
tional amendments to be pro-
posed tomorrow by Representa-
tive Broyhill, Republican, of Vir-
ginia. a member of the House
District Committee.
Acknowledging that efforts
toward District suffrage thus
far have been futile, Mr.. Broy-
hill blamed failure of WASH
ington citizens to get together
on one or two particular methods
of obtaining their objectives.
"The suffrage question has been
beclouded in various home rule
proposals unpalatable to. many
District citizens" he declared.
He was optimistic over speedy
action by Congress on the vote
for President and Vice Presi-
dent. "The question of permit
ting the vote is recognized as de-
sirable by all factions"
He said he believes his pro-
posal. which would vest in Con-
gress the power to designate the
number and authority elected
members from the district w0g9ld
have. Stands the best chance of
enactment.
II am hopeful that we win go
all the way and give the Dis
trict voting representation" but,
he added. "any representation
will be a decided gain"
