Contractor Wins In
Recent Civil Suit

William A. Shirer, Oakland con-
tractor received a verdict in his
favor of approximately $1,000, from
a defendant insurance company in
a civil case which has been pend
ing in the Circuit court here.
The decision was handed down
by Associate Judge Neil c. Fraley
on Monday and was against the
Pennsylvania Threshermen and
Farmers Mutual Casualty company.
The suit was instituted by Shirer
last August to recover damages
paid by him to satisfy two suits
brought against him in January,
1859. The amount asked was So,
GOe.
In September 1857, Shirer had a
contract to dig a sewer line for a
home in Oakland. the work to be
done by a crane operator While
the unit was being moved from
one location to another at the job,
it went out Of control and collided
with a building Of William C..
Hardesty and an automobile of
John FitzWater, Jr. The insurance
company claimed it was not liable,
and refused to pay claims of ST.
622.49 to w. C. Hardesty and $256.08
to Fitzwater. The policy was IS
sued May 5, 1857.
Shirer paid both claims and then
filed suit against the insurance
company. At the hearing before
Judge Fraley in June, the plaintiff
commended that at the time of the
accident the machine was being
operated solely for locomotion. The
defendant claimed the machine
was on site of construction job and
was actually engaged in construc-
ton work at the time it went out
of control.
Judge Fraley, in his opinion
said he was unable to agree with
the contention of the defendant
that the policy's coverage was linn
tied to vehicle only when travel
ing from or to job site" He con-
tinued: The policy does not so
state and had it been the inten-
ton of the insurer that the cover
age be limited to such an extent
it would have been very simple
to have so stated"
He rendered verdict for the
plaintiff in the amount of $1,878. 50,
the total of the two judgments
against Shirer, plus $3.50 costs in
the two cases.

I'm sorry to side against a

indeed sporting Of South to
stake his contract on a mere

found out how to play it.
South was on the right track
when he said that the aces of
clubs and diamonds might have
been exchanged. South couldn't
tell at an early stage Of the
play who had the ace Of dia-
monds. The point is that there
was no reason for him to make
a decision so early.
After drawing trumps South
should play clubs to find out
which opponent has the ace Of
clubs. When it becomes evil
dent that East has the ace of
clubs, South can sensibly de-
eide to play West for the ace
| of diamonds. This leads him
to the correct play Of letting

Suffrage Bid Wins
House Units Okay
Constitutional
Amendment
Indorsed
BY GRACE BASSETT
Star staff Writer

A constitutional amendment
granting Washington citizens
a vote in national elections was
recommended today by House
Judiciary Subcommittee.
This is the biggest step for
ward for the suffrage proposal
in Congress since the Senate
passed a similar amendment by
a vote of 63 to 25 on Feb
ruary 2.
y The House resolution will
carry the name of its sponsor,
Representative Celler, Demo-
crat of New York. who heads
both the subcommittee which
acted today and the full House
Judiciary Committee, expected
to meet next week.
Language adopted by the
subcommittee is more similar
to the Senate resolution than
the original proposal given the
House last session by Mr..
Celler.
OKs House Delegation
The subcommittee version
would permit District residents
to vote for President and Vice
President through electors and
to be represented in the House
by a non-voting delegation.
District delegates could be given
a vote by Congress in subse-
quent legislation. The size of
the delegation would be de-
termined on the same propor-
ton formula as it would be for
a State.
The present population of
the District would entitle resi-
dents to two delegates, or one
for about 100000 population.
The census now under way
could raise that number to
three, but preliminary Census
Bureau estimates indicate that
the population increase would
be insufficient to merit three
delegates. .,.
Mr.. Celler said the proposal
would be taken to the full COM
mittee as soon as possible.
The important thing is that
today, after many, many years
of inaction in Congress, there
has been some movement by
this subcommittee" Mr.. Celler
said.
Generations of Washingto-
mans have been voteless in ma
tional elections since the Dis
trict was ceded by Maryland
and Virginia as a Federal city
more than ITO years ago.
Amendment Needed
Lawyers agree that a consti-
tutional amendment is required
to grant suffrage, not because
the Constitution forbids voting
but simply because it failed to
establish election machinery in
the District.
The subcommittee acted in
an executive session three days
after The Star published re-
suits of an informal poll show
ing that 312 House members
"a more than two-thirds of the
membership-favor the presi-
Dental vote. Some 280-eight
less than two-thirds-wanted
some kind of representation in
the House for the District.
Only 80 members were fatty
opposed to either proposal.
