themselves at the scene.

here last week in the United

Civic Group Asks
Voter Registry
Offices in D. c.

A Northeast civic association
passed a resolution last night
that, if put into effect by the
District, would make easier
for Washington residents to
participate in the 1864 presi-
dental elections.
The Woodbridge Civic Asso-
citation voted to request the
District Elections Board to pro-
vide registration offices in each
of the city's 81 election pre-
cinctS. AS it now stands, the
District Building is the only
place that can provide for the
first registration, scheduled be-
tween January 2 and March 81,
1864.
The associations action was
taken after a recommendation
for more voter registration Off
ceS by Carl D. Shipley, chair
man of the Republican State
Committee for the District.
Speaking at the associations
regular monthly meeting, Mr.
Shipley said he hopes that al
least so per cent of the city's
$4,000 eligible voters will reg
lister for the presidential elec-
ton.
The Republican official said
one registration office is made
quate to accommodate even 6
fraction of the eligible voters
during such a short period.
