residents would be given full
citizenship rights, such as full
voting privileges at all levels.
Under the 23rd Amendment
to the Constitution, residents of
the District will be permitted to
vote in next years presidential
elections.
Cites Precedent
Mr.. XVI told the subcommit-
tee that his measure is mot a
facetious bill There is a
precedent to the proposal" he
said, in the transfer back to
Virginia Of land that was once
part Of the District of Column
bia.
One advantage to Maryland,
Mr.. XVI said, would be that the
land transfer would give the
State two or three additional
House members.
In answer to a question by
Representative Horton, Repub-
lican of New York, Mr.. XVI
said that he had received wide
response when he introduced
mis- bill last April. For the most
part, he said, the mail re-
Spouse was favorable.
Some of the letters, however,
were quite nasty" the Con-
gresham said. These critical
letters, which Mr.. Kyl said he
felt sure reflect the views of
only a small percentage of
Maryland residents, said in eff
feet that Maryland does not
want $4,000 Negroes.
Comment Noted
Representative William
Democrat of Mississippi, a com.
mittee member. said Mr.. XVI
proposal is the 'fairest ap,
proach to the problem" ant
the only one that would appea
to offer full citizenship to Dis.
trict residents.
Mr.. Horton said he thinks
the bill offers some very in
teresting possibilities" for true
home rule.
Another subcommittee mem.
Der, Representative Huddleston
Democrat of Alabama, said that
the XVI bill is the only one be-
fore the subcommittee that
that would cure the complaint
voiced by home rule supporters
that District residents are
subject to taxation without
representation.
The House District Commit
tee is dominated by members
with conservative leanings. The
Southern members of the COM
mittee carry heavy weight in
committee actions. The COM
mittee chairman, who has OPP
posed home rule bills in the
past, is Representative McMil-
Ian, Democrat of South Caro-
lima.
The letters submitted by
Representative Udall, which
carried Endorsement of 81 House
members - 38 Democrats and
Is Republicans - urged that
the committee g. report out
a bill and allow the House to
debate some proposal which
will permit the citizens of the
District, subject always to the
ultimate authority of the Con-
gress, to carry on the Govern
ment of the District through
their own elected officials"

only legislative proposal pend
ing that would give residents of
the Nations Capital true home
rule.
One of the major witnesses,
Representative Udall, Democrat
of Arizona, said that Mr.. Kyl's
bill has considerable merit"
Mr.. Udall, who submitted a
request to the subcommittee by
81 House members urging that
the House District Committee
report out a home rule bill, said
he would be prepared to vote
for Mr.. Kyl's legislation.
About 40 Attended
Only about 40 persons, other
than the subcommittee men,
bers and staff, were on hand
when today's hearing opened in
the large caucus room in the
Old House Office Building. An
other 20 or Is persons had
drifted in before the hearing
recessed at noon.
The hearings before the sub
committee. headed by Repre-
sentative Whitener, Democrat
of North Carolina, are sched-
uled to last three days.
Before the subcommittee are
% home rule bills, falling into
seven general categories.
Under the Constitution, Con-
gress has exclusive jurisdiction
over the District of Columbia.
Under the current system, the
District is administered by a
three-member Board of Com
missioners appointed by the
President with approval by
the Senate.
Administrators Plan

committee cover a wide range

many of the key provisions
repeated.
Representative XVI testified
today that all Of the bills ex-
cept his are miS-named, be-
cause they would not authorize
real home rule for District
residents.
Would Return Coded Area
Mr.. Kyl's proposal would
transfer back to Maryland all
of the land that the State
ceded to the United States,
except for the Federally
developed central core of the
city.
This area, which has no
residential or commercial prop

section from the Library of
Congress westward to the Lin

mainly by Pennsylvania ave-

Child Abuse Fatal
To1OHere Since'61
Doctors Hear
Protective
Law Urged
By WILLIAM GRIGG
star Staff Writer

Members of the District
Coroner's Office today reported
seven cases since 1861 in which
small children have died from
beatings, burnings and other
abuse.
In none Of the seven, or
three other fatal cases not in
cluded in the formal report,
they said. were the parents
jailed.
Deputy Coroner Linwood L.
Rayford, jr., called on area
doctors at the District Medical
Society's annual meeting to be
alert for child and infant in
juries that may have been
caused by parents. These in
juries. he said, will usually be
misrepresented by the parentK
as resulting from accidents.
He said the District and
neighboring States should enact
a law requiring doctors TO re-
port all suspicious cases to au-.
thorities who then can see that
the child is protected.
Couldn't Be Sued
Under such a law, doctors
could not be sued by the par
ents for reporting these sus-
pected battered child" cases
to police.
DR.. Rayford, DR.. Richard
Whelton. District coroner,
Deputy Coroner Marion Mann
and former Deputy Coroner
Jorge B. Morales displayed
photographs of several Of the
battered children at the annual
meeting at the Statler-Hilton
Hotel.
They said that 662 cases of
child abuse were reported in
the Nations newspapers last
year. They estimated, however,
that there may be as many as
10000 such cases each year.
One Quarter Fatal
/ They said about one out Of
four cases resulted in death.
Although most States have
laws protecting animals from
abuse. they said, only Cali
fornia, Colorado, Florida, Ohio,
Tennessee, Wyoming and Penn
sylvania have battered child
laws, most of them new.
]. DR.. Rayford said that since
) the Washington report was
prepared, three other deaths
during the past two years have
r been brought to his attention.
A typical case, he said, was
a 20-month old boy who was
brought to a hospital because
he had been burned "in an ac-
cident." Doctors found that the
child also had a fractured skull
and leg and was poorly nour-
iShed.
insufficient Evidence
The case was reported to au-
thorities but police. the Well
fare Department, Juvenile
Court and the United States
Attorneys Office felt there was
insufficient evidence for legal
action.
The child was treated and
discharged and two months
later was returned to the hos
pital dead.
DR.. Rayford said it is ex-
tremely important for doctors
to be alert to deliberate abuse
because if the children are
allowed to return home, at
least so per cent will later
suffer either more serious in
jury or death at the hands of
one or both parents.
Battered child cases, he said,
come from both upper and
lower income families. Often,
he added, either the mother
or father consciously or I'M
consciously does not want the
child.
OF the 662 maltreatment
cases reported in newspapers
in 1862, 81 per cent of the
children died.
