Hearings are scheduled to
start Monday before a House
District subcommittee headed
by Representative Davis, Dem
ocrat of Georgia, on proposed
machinery for the first preSi-
dental election to be held in
the District. The right to vote
was granted by the Twenty
third Amendment to the Con-
stitution and recommended by
Congress in 1860 and ratified
this year.

been working on adapting the
Ohio law to fit District circum-
stances for two months.
THE measure is patterned
after the Ohio election laws,
which have stood the test Of
time" Mr.. Harsha said.

perative that the statutory ap-
proach chosen for the District"
be the very best the mind Of
man can devise"

visions for selection Of cleo
tion officials, qualifications Of

maries, campaigning and PEN
alties:
Board of EIectiOns-Not more

berS would be selected by the
District Commissioners from
the same political party. Po-
litical parties would recon-
mend members. They all would
serve terms of four years and
the chairman would be desig-
mated the chief election officer
of the District.
Precincts - Each precinct
would be composed Of $50 to
400 electors. A division of the
city may require as many as
TOO precincts compared to about
10 set up for party primaries
here in the past.
Voter qualificatiOnS-All citi-
Zens over 81 on election day
who are mentally competent
and not disqualified as felons
could vote if they have resided
in the District for one year.
, Absentee vOting-Electors
may vote absentee by sealed
ballot If they tell the board of
