oMore States
Expected to Act
Within q Week
BY GRACE BASSETT
Star Staff Writer

The Maryland and Oregon
Legislatures have cleared the
District suffrage amendment,
picking up the pace Of rati-
fication action throughout the
country.
Maryland was the sixth and
Oregon the seventh State, to
indorse the proposed amend
ment which promises Washing
ton citizens a vote for President
and Vice President. Both States
acted yesterday.
Thirty-one more approvals
will make the vote reform the
law Of the land.
Elsewhere, the West Virginia
Senate unanimously voted for
ratification and sent its reso-
luton to the House in Charles
ton. House action may follow
early next week, according to
Senator Randolph, Democrat
Of West Virginia, an avid sup
porter Of the amendment in
the 86th Congress, which last
year recommended ratification
to the States.
Wisconsin Vote Near
In Wisconsin. the Senate
Judiciary Committee, without
dissent, reported its suffrage
resolution to the floor. Legisla-
tive observers in the Madison
State House said the PROPOSE
ton would be entered on the
calendar for a Senate vote next
week.
The wyoming Senate ratified
the amendment yesterday,
21-4. and sent it to the House.
Earlier, State senators at
Cheyenne, in an unusual ges-
ture, reversed the unfavorable
report Of their judiciary Com
mittee and overwhelmingly ap-
proved District suffrage as q
committee Of the whole.
Wyoming was judged q key
State because its Legislature is
due to adjourn February 18,
the first Of Al meeting this year
to go out.
District Republican Chair
man Carl L. Shipley wired Joe
Budd, speaker Of the Wyoming
House. urging action as a party
priority. He hit on two points
which repeatedly disturbed
committeeman in the Senate
that the amendment would be
q prelude to statehood and
that the District would fall into
the Democratic column Of
presidential election returns.
Congress framed the amend
ment to eliminate statehood
and provided that it would not
give the District any attributes
of statehood, Mr.. Shipley
stressed. He pledged Wyoming
Republicans that District Re-
'publicans would oppose strong
ly any move to change the
unique status Of the District
as the permentnt seat Of gov
|ernment.
Sees d. c. Victory
I'VE Republicans can carry
the District in 1864, and We are
strongly committed to ratifi-
cation Of this amendment.
Please help U.S." the telegram
said.
Besides Maryland and Ore
gon, Hawaii, Massachusetts,
New Jersey, New York and CAL
ifornia have ratified. Adoption
requires approval Of SO. or
three-quarters, of the States.
Members Of the Maryland
House agreed $40 to the Ian
guage Of a Senate resolution
previously adopted by the Sen
ate. Oregon action also came in
a unanimous House vote on q
Senate resolution.

The second statement: The
Soviet Unions refusal to ne

test ban at Geneva is disheart-

held high hopes to stopping the
spread Of nuclear weapons and
the pace of the arms race.
It also raises q serious ques-
ton about how long we can
safely continue on q voluntary
basis a refusal to undertake
tests in this country without
any assurance that the Rus
sions are not now testing. Con-
Sequently, I have directed that
the Presidents Scientific Ad-
visory Committee convene a
special panel of eminent scien-
lists to take a close and up
to-date look at the serious
questions involved, including
two questions in particular:
First, what is the extent Of
our information on whether
the Soviet Union has been or
could be engaged in secret
testing of nuclear weapons?
Second, to what extent that
certain types Of tests can be
concealed by the Soviet Union.
what chronological progress in
weapons could be underway
in that area without our knowl-
edge?
