First Action Taken. The action of the federation in going on record as {avoring national repre- sentation in Congress for District of Columbia citizens is the first action taken by anv group of Monfgomery County citizens on question and means that the citizens' associations throughout Montgomery Countv pledged to legislation. he federation also voted to approve the eflort now being made by Washing- ton citizens to have Congress creale a commission of citizens to studv the fis cal question in the District and deter- | mine the question of the proportions to | be contributed by the District of Colum- bia_government to the annual expenges of Washington. The exclusion of Maryland children from District schools was voted an emergency matter by the federation after Ellis R.

Brooke Lee had urged the delegates to give the matter considera- tion and Stephen James of Linden had offered his resolution condemning that | portion of the bill now before the Sen- ate.

The second was a | Tesolution offered by Thomas Hamptor | of Bethesda, urging the Maryland Pub- | lic Service Commission to grant an! intrastate franchise to the Montgomery | Bus Lines, Inc., from Washington Grove | to the District line.
