territorial government was
ended. In 1874, Congress set
up a temporary government"
headed by three appointed
Commissioners, while a con-
gressional committee put the
fiscal affairs of the District in
order.
-Four years later, Congress
established the Commissioner
system as the permanent form
of government-and it has re-
mained unchanged to the pres
ent.
Nothing about this action
was more important than the
principle of complete legiSla-
tive control which Congress
for the first time assumed over
the District. With the end of
locally elected municipal gov
ernment. Congress took full
advantage Of the provision of
the Constitution which gave it
exclusive jurisdiction over the
Federal district.
No Great Holdings
In the earliest days of the
Capital, it generally was as
sumed that the District should
enjoy home rule"-as well as
an eventual voice in the ma
tional government when its
population warranted this step.
Times changed, however, and
so did the conditions which
justified this assumption in the
18th century.
In the beginning, the Federal
Government had no great
property holdings, and the
Capital City itself was split
among several local county and
city governments. BY the end
of the 18th century, Federal
holdings had increased. The
city had grown to such stature
as a national symbol that the
Federal Government felt it
must dominate the local gov
ernment in order to protect its
vital interest from conflicts
with purely municipal or pri-
vate interests.
These changed conditions
had exerted such an impact
that the House judiciary Com
mittee, in a report on June /,

Two on Beotnik Beat
Hell ped Set Up Raids

Two young policemen mas
oueraded as beatniks to gather
information that led to raids
on two Washington hangouts
early today.
They wore the sloppy nom
descript clothes of the beat
generation, talked its far-out
lingo ana professed interest in
beat poetry and jazz.
Police threw a cloak of Sc
crecy around the undercover
agents, refused to give re-
porters their names and re-
fused to let reporters interview
one Of the men. They also
barred photographs of the
plainclothesmen.
One policeman who report
edly spent six months on the
beatnik beat was described by
his superiors as 100 per cent
beat" But he didn't grow a
beard, badge of identity among
the beat set.
Raiders in Sloppy Dress
The other undercover agent
did grow a beard. In fact, he
was still wearing it when the
raiders hit the Java Jungle,
2l19 Pennsylvania avenue NV,
and the Coffee N Confusion
Club, GAS K street NV.
In keeping with the assign
ment, the raiders themselves
could have passed for beatnikS.
All but four of them, who were
in standard dress, were wear
ing sloppy sports clothes and
sported at least a 24-hour
growth of beard.
The bearded undercover
agent said he had visited the
Java jungle about 40 times dur
ing the three months he was
on the beatnik beat.
The young policeman added,
with a smile, that he had q
rather limited view of the raid.

can be no government within
the District independent of the
Federal Government and
whatever local authority there
may be now existing, or which
may hereafter be set up within
the District, it can only be re-
garded legally as an agency of
the Federal Government. :"
Delegate Withdrawn
In killing the territorial gov
ernment, Congress withdrew
the Districts delegate to Con-
gress. For under the Constitu-
ton, national representation
could be granted in Congress
only by these alternatives:
Making the District a State
or part of a State;
Making it a territory, or
Amending the Constitution.
Over the years since 1878,
each of these alternatives has
been actively pushed. On sew
eral occasions, the Districts
retroceSSion to Maryland has
been proposed in Congress. In
1914 there was a strong move
10 make it a State, and more
recently there have been sew
eral variations of this sugges-
ton.
The strongest drive has been
aimed at a simple amendment
of the Constitution. Until the
Senate acted several weeks ago,
however, the reform legislation
never had reached the floor of
the House or the Senate for O.
vote.
