Said Mr.. Summers:

SAID MI summers.
ut seems to me that the first thing
that ought to be understood by the people
of this community and by the country is
that this proposed amendment, of itself,
gives nothing to the District, does not at
all change its organic law, does not disturb
the fact that the District of Columbia is to
be regarded always as the place where is
located the workShp of the Government.
1T does not propose any change which
would interfere with its utilization for that
purpose. There would be no ousting of the
general Federal power; there would be no
establishment of local power to control
the activities of this community; there
would be nothing done that would be
irrevocable.
Everybody must concede that the pub
lie Federal interest Is dominant in the
District of Columbia, and must remain
dominant. Whenever it conflicts with the
local interest those things local must
disappear.
But that does not modify the funda-
mental, basic human rights of the people
here. Those rights are rooted in the philos-
ophy Of free government"
And at the same 1945 hearings, sub
committee chairman Celler, the chairman
Of the present House Judiciary Committee
asked:
would you not say that all over the
country the Declaration of Independence
applies except to Washington, because the
right to vote is undoubtedly an inalienable
right, and that right is denied ;. the
citizenry of Washington"
The question asked by Mr.. Celler gets
to the root of the drive for national suf-
frage. For 100 years, the basic evil which
it has been urged to correct is the same
which was corrected by the Declaration of
Independence - Taxation without repre-
sentation.

could be elected. BY re-establishing the
offices with a new law, Congress-if it saw
f1t-could re-establish "home rule"
Even during the 10 years of home rule"
however, there was no national suffrage in
the District, and the reasons are rooted
deeply in the history of the founding of the
Government.
The wisdom of "home rule" is more con-
troversial than voting rights for President
and Vice President Since it abandoned
"home rule" in 1874, Congress has served
as the Districts only legislature. 1t has
done so under the authority of Section
of the First Article of the Constitution,
which authorized the formation of an
independent seat of Federal Government
and gave to Congress the power Of:
e.. exclusive legislation in all cases
whatsoever overssuch district -
These words, exclusive Jurisdiction"
indicate one reason "home rule" is con-
troversial. For they suggest that/the Fed
eral interest must be paramount in the
District of Columbia, that the only function
for which it was formed was to serve as the
seat of Federal government, and that local
interests must be subordinated to it.
One of the greatest difficulties, how
ever, is that this debate over local versus
Federal control frequently has been con-
fused with the effort to give District resi-
dents the right to a voice in the selection
and administration of the national govern
ment.
Fifteen years ago. the Importance of
this distinction was made by the late Rep
resentative Hatton w. Summers, Democrat
of Texas, former chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee. Before a Judiciary
subcommittee in 1945 was proposed con-
stitutional amendment to provide national
suffrage, which was similar to the Senate
passed resolution now before the present
House Judiciary Committee.

OfHome Rule
Seen Needed

Pressure from the admin

If a District home-rule DILL is
to get approved. according to a
report to the Washington Home
Rule Committee.
The committees counsel,
Walter Pozen, said "there are
serious doubts" enough Repub-
lican signatures can be counted
on to send the bill to the House
floor unless such pressure is
applied.
The Home Rule Committee
has been trying to line up
signatures for a petition that
would force the bill out of the
District Committee for House
action.
At least 219 signatures are
needed for discharge. So far
about 185 have signed. Mr..
Pozen said a majority of the
House members would approve
the bill, according to a canvass
made by the home rule hackers.
ut is equally clear" he said,
that additional signatures will
be hard to come by because
many members are reluctant
to sign a discharge petition on
any bill, however meritorious."
He said pressure on Republi-
can members must come from
either the White House, the Re-
publican leadership in the
House or Vice President Nixon.
The proposed home rule bill
would establish a 15-member
elected legislative assembly for
the District with a governor
appointed by the President.

THE 1sT PLATOON of

THE 1ST PLATOON of
Company A had the new and
heavier Pershing tanks-40
tons. The I'd Platoon had
been almost knocked out on
the way to the Rhine. That's
why it was the Sd platoon
that was ordered to cross the
bridge. The order came
through about 10 pm.
Mr.. Miller spoke of a pri-
mary rule of tank warfare:
Don't fight at night. Vision
from a tank is poor enough
in the daytime. At night a
single enemy soldier with the
German equivalent of the
bazooka might get into close
range undetected and de-
stroy a tank.
And there was another
fear. A day or two before, he
had seen a tank containing
his best friend burn from ar
tillery fire. That could not be
erased from his mind. But
now there was the added
thought of his 32-ton tank
plunging into the depths of
the Rhine from a collapsing
bridge.
They got over and held off
determined counterattacks
during the night. Ten days
later, after a pontoon bridge
had replaced it, the Remagen
bridge collapsed. 1t was not
from hits or near hits by ar
tillery fire. A mountainous
shoulder protected the bridge
from the German guns.
1t was Just worn out from
warfare.

On February %, 1s45, the

9th Armored Division, 1st
Army, started east from Aa-
chen. The objective was the
Rhine.
The Siegfried Line was be-
hind and the great river
was the only barrier to the
heart of Germany.
Before they stopped roll
ing, the tanks of the 14th
Battalion, together with other
1st Army units, had achieved
a surprise crossing of the
Rhine on a railroad bridge
at Remagen.
The first unit to cross was
