"They have all the problems

said. They have great tools

"They are very strong in

in part to their backwardness
in radiology. They get results,

"The fact is that IN any

Lebensohn said. Some of the
psychiatrists I met were top

Doctors Get Respect

by having medical engineers
working side by side with medi-
cal researchers, new tools can
be designed more quickly than
is the case here.
"The doctors have a good
life in the Soviet Union. They
are respected. and while they
may not make as much money
as some American doctors, they
have more free time and are
able to relax more"
Because education is free, all
young people who have the
ability can go to medical school.
We lose many people who would
be doctors but can't afford it.

"All medicine is free in the

WHY NOT IN WAsHnGTOR
Prospects Brighter Now for Winning Right to Vote

factor-hang OH clear understanding of
the distinction by the Congress and by the
people of the Nation The two efforts are:
l. National suffrage-which involves only
the right of District citizens to vote for
President and Vice President, and the right
to elect representatives to Congress.
g. Local suffrage-or as it commonly is
called, home rule"
Home rule" has nothing to do with the
national vote. 1t refers to the belief by
some groups that District residents should
be authorized to elect local officials to some
new kind of municipal legislative body.
To grant "home rule" no constitutional
amendment would be necessary. Actually,
District residents had various ShadoWy
forms of "home rule" for more than 70
years, between 1900 and 1874 Congress
took "home rule" away by the simple ex-
pedient of passing set of laws which
established the present form of local gov
ernment, headed by three Commissioners
appointed by the President. There are no
local elections in the District today because,
in the simplest terms, Congress removed
the local legislative offices to which people

instance in 100 years in which either the
Senate or the House has cast a vote on
the matter.
Why has Congress been so reluctant to
act? Why, in the first place, can't District
residents vote for President? Why is it
important that they should? What are
the prospects now?
The Star, in a series of articles of which
this is the first, will attempt to answer
these questions, to trace the history of the
denial, the background of the long suffrage
fight, and to outline the steps ahead before
District residents can take their places at
the national polls with other citizens.
First however, it also is necessary to
understand what the proposed constitu-
tional amendment would not do. For while
the national suffrage movement has in
volved minimum of controversy over the
years, it has involved a maximum of con-
fusion.
The main reason is that two separate
District suffrage movements have been
under way in Washington during the last
80 years. One has nothing to do with the
other. Yet the chances for national suf-
frage-perhaps more than on any other
Evening star., 1960-03-30

They vote in Moscow-why not in
Washington?
In the entire history of Washington, the
prospects never have been as bright as
they are today for granting the disfran-
chised citizens of the Nations Capital a
voice in national elections.
Next week, House Judiciary subcom-
mittee, headed by Representative Celler,
Democrat of New York, will open hearings
on resolution calling for constitutional
amendment which would provide two rights
for District of Columbia citizens. They are:
l. A vote for President and Vice President.
2. A vote for delegates to represent the
District in the House of Representatives.
Nearly two months ago, on February 2,
the Senate approved a constitutional
amendment resolution of its own which
would provide precisely the same rights
to District residents. The Senate resolu-
ton, however, also includes two other
proposed constitutional amendments not
associated with District voting rights. BY
considering a separate resolution next
week, the House subcommittee will be able
to concentrate entirely on the question of
District suffrage. Differences in the two
Evening star., 1960-03-30

versions will have to be ironed out after
the House acts.
The two proposals, however, have a single
purpose-to eliminate one of the strangest,
most illogical civil rights inequities in
American history.
These rights, enjoyed by every other
American-including now the far-off resi-
dents of Alaska and Hawaii-never have
existed in the Capital City since the seat
of Federal Government was established on
the banks of the Potomac in 1900. Since
that year, millions of words have been
written and spoken against this denial of
citizenship privilege. Congressional COM
mittee after congressional committee has

He was responding to ques-
toner who asked him to be as
specific about his preference
for Vice President as he had
been in making known that
Mr.. Nixon was his choice as
his successor, and how he felt
about Gov. Rockefeller for Vice
President. Gov. Rockefeller
has strongly disclaimed any
interest in the vice presidential
nomination.
Rockefeller Pushed
The President emphasized
that the vice presidential stu
alton is different from the
presidential race in Republican
ranks. He emphasized that he
was not choosing between Mr..
Nixon and any other Republi-
can, but was talking about 1.-THE

other side" when he said he

The President said Mr..
