West Virginia,
Wyoming Moy Act
BY GRACE BASSETT
Star staff Writer


Maryland today became the
sixth State Of the Union tc
ratify a proposed Constitutional
amendment to permit Wash
ington citizens to vote for
President and Vice President
The House Of Delegates voted
$40 to accept the Senate
version Of the resolution in
dorsing the vote reform
Slightly different versions pre-
viously had cleared both
houses Of the Legislature in
Annapolis.
Ratification by 80 States
could allow Washingtonians to
vote in national elections for
the first time in history by 1864.
The unanimous final in
dorsement edged Maryland
ahead Of West Virginia, where
the State Senate unanimously
cleared the amendment this
morning by o 27-0 vote. The
House is expected to act next
week.
Wyoming Pressure Rises
In wyoming. pressure
mounted for immediate favor
able action after the measure
was almost killed by an un-
favorable Senate Judiciary
Committee report.
Key leaders rallied. with the
help Of Wyoming's Representa-
tive Harrison, Republican. Dis
trict Of Columbia Republican
leader Carl L. Shipley and
Wyoming newspaper editors.
The Senate as q committee Of
the whole approved the amend
ment in q voice vote yesterday
after an unusual bipartisan
bid on the floor to reverse the
committees recommendation.
A final roll call vote in the
wyoming Senate is expected
today.
Mr.. Shipley today wired Joe
Budd, speaker Of the Wyoming
House, urging acceptance. He
hit upon the two points which
repeatedly disturbed commit
teemen in the Senate-that the
amendment be a prelude to
Statehood and that the Dis
trict, like other urban areas,
would fall into the Democratic
column Of presidential election
returns.
Situation Explained
Congress specifically stated
that this proposed amend
ment would not give to the
District any Of the attributes
Of statehood and would not be
the opening wedge in any pro-
gram to give Washington resi-
dents representation in Con-
gress or any other attribute Of
statehood the Shipley tele-
gram said.
He assured Wyoming Re-
publicans that District Repub-
licans would strongly oppose
any move to change the unique
status of the District as the
permanent seat Of govern
ment.

Mr.. Stevenson was asked
W h e her. In the event Mr.
Khrushchev does come to the
United Nations. this would
serve as an opportunity for q
series Of informal talks between

"I can't speak for the Presi-

would be happy to meet Mr.
Khrushchev.
II am not suggesting that
this would be In the form Of a
su m NIT conference. But my
opinion is that Mr.. Kennedy
would welcome the opportunity
to become better acquainted
with Mr.. Krhusnehev."
Mr.. Stevenson said he would
welcome norrnalization Of rela-
tions with other countries and
that would include Communist
China. But he made clear there
are basic issues that would
have to be settled before any
agreement with the Chinese
Communists could be reached.

Pressed whether he meant

egg basket with its broken con-
tents strewn around him.
Mrs. Whaley's body was in a
rear upstairs bedroom, on the
floor at the end of a bed Police
theorize she was awakened from
