Unit for D. c. Affairs

A reorganization Of congress
sional relations with the District
under which joint committee
of the Senate and House would
handle all local legislation, in
Guiding appropriations. has been
suggested by Representative
Thompson, Democrat of New
Jersey.
Mr.. Thompson made the sug.
|gestion in a letter to Demo-
cratic National Committee
Chairman Paul Butler. He said
he felt the step would result in
better government here.
A two-day meeting of the
Executive Committee of the
Democratic National Committee
opens at noon tomorrow in the
Mayflower Hotel.
Asks Committee Support
Mr.. Thompson called for sup
port from the committee for the
which he termed a
feasible first step toward better
and more responsible local gov
eminent.
The New Jersey legislator
noted that both the Democratic
and the Republican platforms
in the election called for some
form of district self-government.
He added he felt that the Demo-
Gratis meant what they said re-
garding the District.
Mr.. Thompson went on to say
that an immediate step that
could be taken at this time is
the formation of a joint COM
mittee of the House and Senate
which would have general au-
thority regarding all matters
concerning the District.
Proposing New Approach
He said he would continue to
support home rule measures, but
that he felt his proposal would
be an improvement over present
procedures as long as Congress
makes laws for the District.
AS now handled, District leg
islation generally is considered
by the District Committees Of
both the House and the Senate.
District appropriations are
handled by the Appropriations
committees of both branches.
Mr.. Thompson said in his
letter that he had been under
ATTACK by his opponent in the
recent campaign for devoting
too much attention to the Dis
trict. He said, however, that he
is concerned with Washington
since it is the Nations Capital,
and belongs to all citizens.
