Vice President and to have a
Representative in the House Of
Representatives, we would, to a
great degree, be giving to the
people Of the District Of Column
bia the right of self-determina-
ton which we have been seek
ing for all the people Of the
world. This would again be an
answer to the critics who claim
that we in America practice a
limited type Of democracy. This
would be applying the principle
Of self-determination domes-
tically.
Senator Fong then thanked
Senators Heating and Case for
saluting heroism of Hawaiians
during World War ID
I am profoundly happy to
hear from the distinguished
Senator from South Dakota
that the heroic sons of the Dis
trict Of Columbia in the last
war distinguished themselves
admirably and I am happy to
join my worthy colleague in
his efforts to bring democracy
and self determination to the
people Of the District of Colun-
Senator Javits, Republican OF
New York: First, I should
like to express support Of
my colleague in his effort
; to get this very desirable
amendment in the constitu,
tional amendment now befor'
the Senate; but more thar
that, ! should like to express
my appreciation for being as
ISOLATED with a Senator whc
, seizes the right opportunity
1t is not often that there ar,
proposed in the Senate con
; Istitutional amendments wherl
. we have a chance to act. Thi
is an opportunity, which I hopt
the Senate will not forego to-
day. to do elemental justice II
the people of the District o
Columbia. I am delighted m!
colleague has taken the initia
tive to propose it and give u
an opportunity to effectuatI
his proposal.
Also, / should like to joiI
him in contemplating thi
major point. This is a season
when the United States is ex.
banding its horizons. II woulc
have been unthinkable, IN an.
other day to admit into thu
Union. the Territory of Alas.
ka, 1,700 or 1900 miles away
from the mainland of the
United States, or to admit
Hawaii, $500 miles away, anC
separated from us by an ocean
Yet our people have had the
kind of vision which is truly
historic and which marks oul
capability for being worlc
leaders, for the mark of leader.
ship is the willingness to ex.
pand ones views.
My colleague from New York
Is asking us to take care Of the
home fires at the same time
we expand our vision, and this
Is an opportunity for us tc
correct ranking injustice and
give to the people of the Dis
trict Of Columbia a right which
is denied to the people Of very
few Federal districts in other
countries Of the world. I think
the research Of the Senator
shows that fact. :.

provide definite voting rights

haps even for representatives

of this amendment represent,

this much must be done, In my
Judgment, If we are to bestow
upon the residents our Nations
Capital their rights as fellow
members of the American COM

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1960-02-05


of New York: Mr.. President, it
is my opinion that this amend
ment is certainly equally as i'm
portant as any other proposal
which could come before Con-
gress to enlarge the exercise Of
the franchise. The continued
massive disqualification Of all
the residents of the District Of
Columbia from their right to
participate in our electoral
processes is inexcusable. 1t is
unreasonable. 1t Is undemo-
cratic. We can and must seize
this opportunity to remedy this
deplorable state of affairs. I
would hope that this was one
defect in our electoral processes
which members Of this body
from all sections of our Nation
would enthusiastically join in
correcting.
There is some difficulty in
stirring up widespread concern
for the plight of the residents
Of the Nations Capital. The
area of the District of Column
bia is small. Only local in
habitants would be affected by
this reform. But the principles
at stake are large. Our action
would have international i'm
pact. We would be demonstra-
ting to the whole world that
in America democracy begins
at home-that we practice what
we preach.
Only in the past few days I
had a letter from a housewife
in the Bronx, who said to me.
"There is a lot of talk about
civil rights these days. Do I
correctly understand that in
the District of Columbia no
citizen, white or colored, has
the right to vote?"
I had to tell her that that is
the fact.

Position of u. S.
IJustifies Move

Mr.. Case of South Dakota.
It was probably because of the
excellent record the Hawaiian
soldiers made during the war
that many Of the Members of
Congress felt that Hawaii had
earned admission to the Union
as a State.
By the same token, we should
certainly now similarly recog-
nize the valiant service Of the
soldiers from the District of
Columbia.
One collateral point which
might be made in that connec-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1960-02-05

ton Is that the city Of Wash
ington becomes the home Of q
greater number Of retired off,
GERS of the Army, the Navy.
and the Air Force than does
any other city in the Nation,
by reason Of the fact that many
of those who have served in the
military forces lose their resi-
dence in their native States,
and alsp by reason of the fact
that many attractions exist for
living in the city Of Washing
ton.
But when they reside in
Washington, they find them
selves deprived Of the right to
vote. I have always felt that
those who take the risks in
volved in the military services
certainly are entitled to have
q voice in the affairs Of the
country they have served.
Finally, let me say that II
has seemed to me that the
other argument the Senator
from New York has mentioned
to wit. our position before
the worlds, in itself, a COM
polling reason for the adoption
of this amendment. Certainly
it is an anomaly that this
country. the United States,
which today before the world
holds itself out as the great
devotee of freedom and the
great apostle of representative
government. should deny vot-
ing rights to the residents of
the capital city. I see no justi-
f1cation whatsoever for such a
position. 1t compromises our
position in every international
gathering and in every interna-
tional endeavor.
So I certainly urge the adop-
ton of the amendment. ..

trict Of Columbia home-rule
bill. The junior Senator from
New York performed q very
valuable service at that time.
He stated, and I think quote
him correctly, that the home
rule bill was not the vehicle
to use to provide for national
representation for the District
but that the proposal should
come through the Judiciary
Committee and should be con-
sidered on its own merits.
I thoroughly subscribed to
that view. I thoroughly SUBJ

S1O,776 From State
Income Tax Money

Garrett county is receiving S10,-
776 from the advanced distribu-
ton now of state income tax rev.
enues, according to State Comp
troller Louis l.. Goldstein.
Garrett is one of eight in the
state, which along with Baltimore
City, had elected to participate in
the advanced distribution, pro-
vided by Chapter 26 of the 1860
Laws of Maryland The money
comes from second and third
quarter receipts from employers
Withholding and estimated income
tax installments.
Mr.. Goldstein explained that
previously the income tax rev
enues had not been distributed
until after the income tax returns
had been filed and had come at
the close of the states fiscal
year
An amendment to the Maryland
income tax law which would per-
nit the distribution of part of the
Subdivisions share of income tax
receipts before the return actual
ly had been flied and on a more
current basis, was passed last year.
Baltimore City and the coun-
ties on a calendar year basis of

To Plant 100000
Trees in 4-COunty
Area During 1861

Some 100000 trees will be
planted in the four Western Mary
land counties during 1861 r..
Thomas Thayer, Jr, district for
ester, reported this week.
Garrett county is scheduled for
828.C0O OF the number Some $4,000
will be planted on privately owned
land and the other 174,0O0 on state
land
Allegany county will get $4,000
trees, all to be planted on private
ly owned land. Washington and
Frederick counties will receive
1000 trees, divided almost equal
ly between the two counties, and
will be planted on private land.
All trees will come from the
state nursery in Anne Arundel
county. Mr.. Thayes said the most
popular varieties for the 1861 plant
ing will be white pine and spruce
There also will be many red pine
Scotch pine, larch and tulip poplar
The planting will begin in early
March in Frederick county with
planting in Garrett county in early
April. A major development in
tree planting in the past five years
has been the upsurge in machine
planting, with more than half Of
the trees now being planted by
machines. All of the trees are
planted by independent contrac
tors. Formerly the job was done
by state employees.
Mr.. Thayer pointed out the i'm
portance of planting soft wooc
trees in abundance. To replace the
soft wood trees being harvested
each year some $4,000 acres in tht
four Western Maryland countie.
should be reforested by 1875. Tha
would require some So million

of 1000 trees for each acre. Tha
would require an average annua
