President Kennedy has asked

bill to let District residents

The Washington Home Rule

President Kennedy to fight for
District self-government as q
civil rights reform.
Home rule legislation should
be Incorporated in the admin

committee wired the President
last night.

gress. Again. he urged quick
action when he submitted his
draft bill.
But chances never have
seemed dim mer i'm the
House District Committee for
clearance. Chairman Mcmillan,
Democrat of South Carolina. is
dead set against shifting con-
troll Of the Capital City from
Congress to local residents. And
he has retained like-minded
subcommittee chairmen with
tight control over committee
business.
1t is generally understood on
Capitol Hill that the home rule
bill will not move even through
the friendly Senate District
Committee without pressure
from the White House.

telegram to the White House
said.
The President clearly has the
power, committee members be-

Congressman from blocking self
government for the District"
The unusual plea for an open,
frank association Of home rule
with unsettled race relations

characterization. 1t came Just
after District Commissioners
announced q four-point policy
to make sure city government

Upon his retirement from the
Federal service, Mr.. Mulligan
decided to make a "full-time

Mr.. Mulligan attended from 30

died today of a heart attack.
Mr.. Mulligan entered Prince

condition quickly worsened.
Death came at 1885 am, hos
pital officials said.
A slender, erect man with a
wry sense of humor, Mr.. Null.
Igan was elected to his twen-
ty fourth consecutive one
year term as president Of the
federation in February. At
that time. he told delegates
he would step down from the
post after serving his twenty
fifth term.
In 40 years Of civic work,
there was no phase Of county
operations that failed to come
under Walter Mulligan's scru-
tiny. For more than 20 years
he was civil defense warden of
College Park; although never
a businessman, he was elected
president of the Prince Georges
Chamber Of Commerce in 1858;
he served as secretary Of the
State Grange for a quarter
century; he was a past men,

Friends thought it ironic
that, with all his achievements,
Mr.. Mulligan never saw his
greatest wish realized-charter

career he broke ranks with the
old Democratic organization
and predicted that "a reforma-
