School Needs Apprecimted. “A majority of the members of the. House of Representatives—indeed, as 1 verily believe, an overwhelming ma- ority—apprecidte the needs of the ashington scheols and sincerely de- sire to relieve them,” he sald. “But they are almost as helpless as the people of the District themselves. They are caught in the wheels of a vast governmental machine. “The members of Congress, like the Dpeople of the District, suffer the con- sequences of a historical accident, whereby the local municipal affairs of a city of 400,000 people must be directly managed by a national Con- gress—one may say, by an imperial parliament—burdened with legislative problems of 100,000,000 people, and a national parliament in which the people whose affairs are being ad- ministered have no representation and no authentic voice. It is because of this governmental anomaly and not because of any ill will on the part of the representativés them- selves that our purely local, munic- ipal affairs suffer so severely.” Mr. Glassie deplored that a munici- pal appropriations bill could go on the floor of the House of Representa- nd be thrown out on the point r of one member. Mr. Glassie further pointed out the only way to get the new school buildings is to ask for appropriations for that purpose, vet because it is new legislation, and that cannot be placed in an appro- priation bill, plans for new proj are thrown out on a point of or The apppointment of a steering con mittee for the new permanent citi--3 zens' committee on school appropria- tions will be made later.
