They have Mo _representation in. the.

Congress Would Retain Power. “The constitutional amendment which we urge empowers Congress to correct this inequity without disturbing in the slightest national control of the Capital or the present form of municipal Government. Congress retains every power in these respects that it now possesses. All that happens will be that the District becomes a small fra: tional part of that Congress, and polif cally an integral part of the Natlon which that Congress represents. “National representation will clothe the Washingtonian with a vital Ameri- can privilege, to which he is undeniably in equity entitled; will cleanse him of the stigma and stain of un-American- ism, and, curing his political impotency, will arm him with a certain power. “It will relieve the Nation of the shame. of un-Americanism at its heart | and of impotency to cure this evil. “It will inflict no injury ot hardship upon either Nation or Capital to coun- teract these benefits. “Consistency and justice; national pride and self-respect; the will to efface a shameful blot from the national escutcheon: the spirit of true Ameri- canism and righteous hatred of autoc- racy in mY guise; the patric'ic impulse toward full preparedness of the Nation deductible, but if made to a char- the Tevenue act, may be d"ebdnueud organ - tributes the funds among the in- 71 dividual benefieiaries. as a champion of democracy and rep- resentative government everywhere in the world—all gbmbine to make irresist- ible at this very momen: our appeal for the adeption of this amendment.” Sketches of other members of the guard of honor follow: Dr. Lewis 8.

RETIREMENT BILL Coolidge Lets Measure Die}. on His Last Day in Office. Hopes of thousands of Federal em- ment conditions were killed today when President Coolidge, at the last moment, permitted the Dale-Lehlbach bill, in- creasing retirement pay, to die a pocket veto. ‘The President had the bill before him at the White House this morning before coming to the Capital without having signed it. After his arrival at the Capi- tal the measure again was before him, but he did not sign it with the few re- | maining others that. became law just before the expiration of the Seventieth Congress. Up to the last hour adherents of the bill were still in hopes that the Presi- dent would recognize the urgency of | liberalizing the retirement conditions in the civil service and these hopes were boosted by earlier indications at the ‘White House that even though Mr. Coolidge did not believe features of the bill harmonized with his recom- mendations on this legislation, never- theless the judgment of Congress in this matter would have considerable weight with him. The Dale-Lehlbach bill, which passed the Senate last Wednesday, one year after similar action in the House, would have increased retirement pay of Fed- eral employes from $1,000 to $1,200. With the failure of the President to sign it today the whole legislation must go through the periods of re-enactment during the special or next regular ses- sion of the next incoming Congress.

T7H CONGRESS CLOSES SESSION House Paves Way for Action on Farm Relief and Tariff at April- Meeting. By the Associated Press. The Seventiéth Congress ended quiletly | today, its passing overshadowed by the | spectacle of a presidential inauguration. At 10 o'clock the House assembled in a chamber filled with empty seats and galleries. Af 11 Vice President Dawes called the Senate to order for the last time. A few minor measures were before the House on this last day of the session and the membership took turns in eulo- gizing those who answered the roll call for the last time. Before distinguished crowds, gathered to see Charles Curtis inducted into office as Vice President, Gen. Dawes called for the regular order of business, which was a bill to enlarge the Capitol grounds. It was passed without debate. Senators did not appear to be very much inter- ested in the legislative situation, and the galleries languidly awaited the in- augural ceremonies. X Leaders Wait on President. " A motion was adopted appointing a committee to walt on the President, who ‘was en route to the Capitol. Mr. Dawes named the two leaders, Senator! Watson, Republican, Indiana, and Robinson, Democrat, Arkansas. Just 10 minutes before the Vice Presi- dent-elect was to take the oath of office the Senate became embroiled in an ar- gument over an immigration bill and a call for & quorum was sent out. Mean- while, Senator Watson, the Republican leader, who had visited President Cool- idge in the presidential room, formally announced to his colleagues that the retiring Chief Executive had no further communicad to deliver to Congress. At this period Florence Trumbull, flancee of John Coolidge, came into the President’s gallery with Mrs. Everett Sanders, wife of the secretary to the President. Dawes Makes Brief Farewell. Then came the Vice President and the congressional committee on inaugu- ral arrangements.
