Draft Ready
For Study by
White House

The District government has
finished its draft of a new home
rule bill, and Commissioner
Robert E. Mclaughlin said to-
day he hoped to take the draft
over to the White House i'm
mediately.
The new bill, the first to be
drafted by city officials them
selves, is intended to reflect the
desires of President Eisenhower
regarding the proposed change
in the Districts government.
One of the main features is a
acknowledgements Mayor.
Bills already pending in Con-
gress provide for an elected
Mayor
Mr.. Mclaughlin said he
thought White House study Of
the proposed legislation might
require a week or longer. Presi-
dent Eisenhower is due back in
Washington Sunday and will be
able to take a look at the draft
next week.
Hope for Early Action
City officials have been work
ing overtime to complete the pro-
posed bill in hopes of obtaining
favorable action on it in the
current session of Congress.
Besides Mayor to replace the
present three Commissioners, the
bill would provide for a city
council to be popularity elected.
Under previous proposals, the
council would have nine mem
bers. 1t is understood that the
new bill enlarges the council.
Mr.. McLauqhlin said he is not
ready to discuss details OF the
new draft publicly. however.
The new draft in general is
believed to follow the outlines
of suggested home rule legisla-
ton which won tentative White
House backing last year.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said that if
the new draft is satisfactory to
the President. it will presumably
be sent quickly to the Capitol
and an effort will be made to
find members of both houses to
introduce it.
Hearings Expected
A Senate District Committee
spokesman said that public
hearings undoubtedly would be
held by the judiciary Subcom-
mittee headed by Senator Clark.
Democrat OF Pennsylvania.
The Senate has backed home
rule in the past, but the pro-
posed change over TO an elected
