WHY MOI IN WASHNGTON
Toxotion Without Representation Is Tyranny

What harm can possibly come from Civ
ing the District of Columbia representation
Tin the Congress- =. and electors to par
ticipate in the choice of the President?
Taxation without representation is
tyranny; and representation is the power
to vote, not merely the right to speak"
These expressions might well be voiced
on Capitol Hill next week, when House
Judiciary subcommittee opens hearings on
constitutional amendment to grant ma
tional suffrage to the voteless citizens of
the District.
They could have been made, as well. in
the Senate early last February, when the
Senate approved a similar constitutional
amendment resolution to give Capital resi-
dents representation in Congress and vote
for President and Vice President.
Actually, the quotes come from a speech
made on the floor of the Senate 20 wears
ago, in September, 1890, by the late Senator
Henry w. Blair Of New Hampshire.
Senator Blair had introduced a consti-
tutional amendment resolution, strikingly
similar to that to be considered in the
House next week. Since 1877, about 10
separate resolutions have been before Con-
greSS to accomplish this same purpose
Until the Senate acted in February. none
OF the 20 had ever been voted upon.
In Senator Blair'S era, the rhetoric was
more f1owery than today, and there were
other differences. Senator Blair made it
plain, for example, that he was talking only
about manhood suffrage" and that the

ratio of 13 to l in favor of the right to vote
for President.
4. In the early days of the Republic, the
District had small population, and little
identity as city. Today, its population is
greater than that of 12 States. 1t contrib
uteS more in Federal taxes than 25 States
and its numbers in military service during
World War II likewise exceeded those of
many States.
5. The District is the only capital of a
free nation in which the residents are
denied voice in the national government
The federal capitals of Mexico, Argentina
and Brazil are among those patterned
closely after the District of Columbia
except that in each of these cases the resi-
dents of the capitals were given identical
voting rights to all other citizens.
6. National representation would aid
Congress in its exercise of legislation for
the District. Among those who have cited
the Importance of this fact is Jennings
Randolph, now a Senator from West Vir-
ginia, who for many years was chairman
Of the House District Committee.
In view of these facts, the strangest
aspect of the entire fight for national suf-
frage is Congress continued failure to
grant it.

perpetrated by the legislative power of any
free people in violation of their own form
of government since the foundation of the
world"
Senator Blair's oratory, however, was in
vain-aS similar arguments have been in
subsequent Congresses prior to the action
of the Senate this year
The basic purpose of his constitutional
amendment, according to Senator Blair in
1890, was to eliminate a "despotiSm" for
100000 people. In 1916, the late Theodore
W. Noyes, editor of The Star, said it would
make Americans of 350,O0O people who
now politically are aliens" In 1860, with a
District population near l million, the de-
gree of disfranchisement only has become
greater.
To this basic plea for correction of a
civil rights inequity, advocates of the pro-
posed constitutional amendment also have
made these arguments over the years:
l. To grant District citizens the right to
vote in national elections and to have a
voice in Congress would interfere in no
way with Congress- exclusive control over
the District. The prospects for some sort
of home rule"-ln which Congress would
delegate some of its governing authority to
a locally elected municipal government
would be neither heightened nor reduced
by this proposal.
2. Arguments against the basic justice of
granting national suffrage to the District
have been virtually non-existent.

At the same time, Mr.. Nixon's
close associates recognize that
it is proper and reasonable for
the Governor to keep himself
free for a possible change In
the Republican picture which
could lead to his nomination
for the President.
If no such change comes-and
the Nixon people are convinced
that it won't-it is apparent
that the pressure for Gov.
Rockefeller to accept the second
spot on the ticket will be strong.
No. Says Rockefeller
Gov. Rockefeller, who has in
sisted emphatically that he is
not interested in running for
Vice President, again rejected
any such idea as he left New
York by plane last night for a
vacation at his ranch in Vene-
Zuela, the Associated Press re-
ported.
Il absolutely under no cir
cumstances whatsoever would
be a candidate for the vice
presidency, nor would I accept
a draft for the same position,
he said.
The Nixon forces recognize
fully that Gov. Rockefeller
would add greatly to the
strength of the Republican
ticket in the November elec-
ton. But they plan no move
until the July convention-or
perhaps just before the conven-
tion-to approach him or any
other potential vice presidential
nominee.

Poet, He Asserts

PARIS, April 2 CAP). -
Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev
said today that if the Soviet
Union signed a peace treaty
with East Germany the validity
of Western rights in Berlin
would be lost.
The Soviet Premier told a
news conference at the end
OF his formal meetings with
French President Charles de
Gaulle that if Russia signed
q peace treaty with East Ger
many all consequences of the
capitulation of Hitler's Germany
would be lost, including the
validity of all rights gained
through the capitulation.
His comment was in answer
to a question as to how a So
Wet peace treaty with East
Germany would affect the
rights of the Western Big Three
in the German city.
Regrets French A-TestS
The Soviet Premier declined
to be drawn into a comparison
Of his talks with Gen. de Gaulle
and his earlier meetings in the
United States with President
Eisenhower.
He reiterated his opposition
to all atomic test blasts when
asked to comment on the
French test explosion in the
Sahara yesterday. He said he
regretted the two French tests
took place. France fired one
other test shot earlier.
Il am convinced France will
adhere to any agreement that
is reached" on suspension of
tests, he added.
If such an agreement is
reached. he said, it would cer-
talnly be more difficult for
France to continue atomic
testing.
Several times during the
news conference Mr.. Khru-
shchev was warmly applauded.
He started of with a warm
tribute to France and thanks
to Gen. de Gaulle for inviting
him to France.
Optimistic About Summit
In answering the first ques-
ton of the day. he said he is
now optimistic about prospects
for the mid-May meeting of
Big-Four leaders in Paris.
I'VE have exchanged views
on diverse problems" he said.
I'VE have talked frankly. We
have tried for a better under
standing and I think we have
succeeded"
He called for greater cultural
and economic exchanges so that
all countries could profit mu-
tually.
Mr.. Khrushchev returns to
Moscow tomorrow, ending an
1l-day visit. He will come back
to Paris May 16 for the East
West summit conference.
He said he now considers the
conference with reinforced
optimism.
All men of good sense must
understand it is their task to
work to ease world tensions
and to work for better rela-
tionS between peoples and as
sure peace, he said.
