D. C. Residents Can Now Vote In National Elections

WASHINGTON LR - The 23rd Amendment to the Constitution permitting District of Columbia citizens to vote for President and Vice President became law today with ratification by three-fourths of the states.
 New Hampshire and Kansas completed the process by voting in quick succession to become the 37th and 38th states to ratify.
 Thus, permanent residents of the national capital, situated originally on land ceded by Vir- ginia and Maryland officially in- corporated in 1902, will vote for the first time in a national cleo tion in 1864.
 Before today's action the Con- stitution provided the vote only for residents of the various states.
 The chairman of the District Board of Elections estimates that between 10000 and 250,000 resi- dents will vote then.
 Citizens in this area voted for President through 1900, but that took place under state laws be- fore the capital was officially established.
 The district, or Federal City, will have three votes in the Electoral College. But the district still will have no representation in Con- greSs.

EXCLUSIVELY YOURS
Mac Bundy Joins Club
Metropolitan Gains Kennedy Assistant
By BETTY BEALE
Star staff Writer

Metropolitan Club members
were pleased recently to see
posted within the confines of
this gentlemen's private sane
;tuary a notice to the effect
that McGeorge Bundy had
been elected to membership
in the club as of September
10.
The fact that President
;Kennedy'S No. / assistant was
taken in, however, does not
mean that all of Mr.. Kenne-
:dy's chief assistants will auto
:matically become members.
The brainy, attractive Mac
:Bundy had to go through the
same individual process all
prospective members do, with
the exception of the Presi-
dent and Vice President who
are automatically made hon.
.orary members. Only as a
presidential appointee, Mr..
.Bundy came under the time
waiver clause that permits
top Washington Officials, who
have been proposed. to Join
now instead of waiting the
usual years for their nam-s'
to reach the TN of the list.
The club now has q 12-vear
waiting list.
EnSconced in an influential
position in the White House
or no, a member has to be
proposed and seconded by
two friends in thu club, in
,dorsed in writing by several
other members who know him
well enough TO vouch for him,
wait until his name had been
.circulariZed among the entire
membership in the event
there are unknown serious
objections. and finally be
approved by the hoard where
merely two block balls can
keep him out. This is pretty
much the same process al
