WHY NOT IN WASHINGTON?
First Significant Step Taken for D. c. Suffrage

thirds vote, and differences between the
House and Senate versions are reconciled,
three-fourths of the States would have
to ratify the constitutional amendment
within a seven-year period in order for it to
become effective. Congress then would be
free to pass laws providing machinery to
let the District vote in national elections
and to elect delegates to the House, with
such powers as Congress determines.
Despite growing discomfort in the Dis
trict over the absence of a voice in Con-
gresS, this right had been denied since the
seat of government was established on the
Potomac in 1900.
One reason often cited in the early days
for the denial was that the District popula-
ton was too small to entitle it to represen-
tation. BY 1871, however, the District
population had grown to more than 10000.
and this was a factor in the formation of
the territorial government-wlth an ap-
pointed Governor, locally elected munic-
ipal assembly, boards of public works and
public health, and a non-voting delegate
in the House.
Another factor perhaps more impress

the only representation in Congress they
have ever had-a non-voting delegate in
the House similar to the delegates who
represented Alaska and Hawaii before
those territories became States.

DURHAM. South Africa, April
(AP).-White police fired to-
day on an African crowd
marching on this big port city's
Jail. First reports said three
Negroes were killed and three

The column of blacks which
reached the jail marched down

largest city.

Witnesses said they saw
marchers lift some Outstanding
Negroes bodily and force them
into the line.
1t was the most riotous scene
Durham has experienced in the
current racial crisis.
Casualties in Skirmishes
Today's marches started after
a riotous day and night in
African settlements stretching
from Cape Town through the
Atlantic and Indian Ocean port
cities Of Port Elizabeth and
Durham.
There were casualties in skir-
mishes in settlements during
the nigkt and in some places
houses, administration build
ings and churches we're burned.
Buses were stoned as agitators
tried to force other Africans to
observe a work boycott.
Three separate columns. of
blacks marched out of Cato
Manor settlement this morning
but only one got through as
soldiers and police with ar
mored cars and rifles with fixed
bayonets managed to stop or
divert the others.
Other Columns Stopped
The gunflre casualties at noon
today were the first inside
Durham although four Africans
were reported injured in bus
stonings last night.
In other areas of that tense
east coast city. heavily armed
soldiers and police began stop

columns. On one street, three

riers and a police riot car
blocked a group of marchers.
Negro leaders argued with the
police, but soldiers standing by
with fixed bayonets discour-
aged much chat.
From other regions, how
