PARTY SPOKESHEN ASKVOTEFORD. . Non-Paritsan Flea Is Made in Radio Addresses by Colladay and Costello. Jolning in a non-partisan plea on behalf of the voteless residents —of | Washington the official spokesmen of | the organized Republicans and Demo- | ctats of the District of Columbia last night, in two radio addresses over WRC, urged the Seventy-first Congress to approve the proposed amendment to the Constitution, which would give to Washingtonians representation in the House and Senate and the rlght‘ to vote for President and Vice Presi- | dent. | The speakers were: Edward F. Colla- | day, Republican National Committee- | man for the District, former president of the Federation of Citizens' Associa- tions and former president of the Board of Trade, and John F. Costello, Democratic National Committeeman for the District, a native of this eity, member of the local bar and former| Tecorder of deeds. ! Colladay Says Time Is Ripe. “A half million people, soon to be a | million, at the very heart of the Nation | is too large a body to be denfed par- ! ticipation in the councils of the| Nation,” declared Mr. Colladay, who added that the time is now ripe for granting this boon to the voteless resi- | dents of the Capital. “Let Washington vote for President in 1932” was the concluding plea of § the Republican National Committee- man. He insisted that there could be 10 more fitting celebration of the 200th anniversary of George Washington's | birth than the granting of political | | freedom to the inhabitants of the city | | which bears his name. Referring to the Democratic principles | | spoken by Thomas Jefferson, Andrew | | Jackson and Woodrow Wilson, Mr. Cos- tello said that his and Mr. Colladay’s # appeal for the voteless residents of Washington “should make the advo- eacy of suffrage unanimous.” Not Politically Controversial. | Mr. Costello emphasized the fact that ‘ the question of natiomal representation for the District is not politicaliy con- troversial. Since both the Republican and Democratic parties have recog- nized the right of the inhabitants of Washington to have a voice in party affairs, he held that they should also have & voice in the election of President and Vice President and representation | in the Congress which makes their laws. The program last night was the fourth and last of a series of radio talks on national representation, ad- dressed to the Seventy-first Congress and especially to the new members of the House and S:n;c:, c‘(:xd .ltmv.ee ge: the Citizens’ Join! mmi ol ‘lzlyationll Representation with the Na- tional Broadcasting Co. The campaign is preliminary to an intensive drive next Winter when Con- gress will meet in regular session and when the proposed constitutional amendment to Americanize the resi- dents of the District will be considered. Mr. Colladay’s speech in part follows: “The 500,000 Americans of the Dis- trict constitute the only community in all the expanse of the continental and contiguous United States—populous, intelligent, public-spirited, patriotic, of adequate resources—which is denied representation in the National Govern- ment. Amendment Is Simple. “To remedy this situation the Citzens’ Jol:! Committee of the District of Columbia on National Representation is sponsoring an amendment to the Con- stitution providing for national repre- sentation for the people of the District of Columbia. This amendment is sim- le and easily understood, although it g-s been the subject of some misunder- tanding. 5 “Thelpemlon of the citizens’ com- mittee to the Congress of the United States urged the adoption of the amend- ‘ment upon the principles announced by the founders of our Republic, that “taxation _without representation is tyrrany’; that ‘governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed'; and in order that ‘govern- ment of the people, by the people and for the people’ might be an accomplish- ed fact, for all of the people of the| United States. “Make Americans of 500,000.” “Briefly stated, this amendment en- | ables Coyr’lm to give the District of Columbia voting representation in Con- gress and the ;‘l;cwux;nl college, thereby aking it possible to: m“l ‘Muke Americans of 500,000 people—soon to be 1.000,000—whose present political prospects are less than those of aliens elsewhere in America. “2, Put into force (though tardily) the principle of ‘no taxation without representation’ at the center of the American Republie. “3, Add representative participation in Government, now denied, to the duty, 2lways borne, of supporting that Gov- ernment by paying taxes and fighting. “4, Remove the present stigma, humiliation and moral and political en- fecblement resulting from permanent | political impotence of a people more numerous than the population in each ©f seven American States (1920 census). ; “5. Make the heart of our own Na- tion ‘safe for democracy,’ having re- cently engaged in a world crusade '”: that end. i “6. Make it no longer possible to say that the American Capital City is the only National Capital that has no voice in its National Government. Not Loeal Rule Move. | | “The proposed amendment does not rontemplate the admission of the Dis- trict of Columbia as a sovereign State “It does not propose the destruction ©of the ‘10 miles square’ provision of the Constitution or lessen in the slightest CARPENTER, BU hes inclosed: lobbing Left to right: District of Columbia.” PLEAD FOR VOTE IN John F.

Colladay, Republican national committeeman for the District of Columbia who spoke over WRC last night on “National Representation for the THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON. D. C. DOG LEADS SIGHTLESS PAL. CAPITAL degree the complete control of the Na- tion over the District. “It is not a measure for local self- government. “It does not disturb in any way the financial relation of the Nation and Capital, either by the abolition or per- | petuation of the definite proportionate contribution law. “The appearance before the micro- phone tonight of the national commit- teemen for the District of Columbia of the two major political parties should emphasize that National representation | for the District of Columbia is sup- | ported irrespective of party. The Wash- | ington delegations of these parties have earnestly but unsuccessfully fought at | each naticnal convention for the in- clusion of a national representation plank in the party platforms and doubtless will continue such demands until victory is won. “Opposition Tllogical.” “The feeble and illogical opposition to national representation for the Dis- trict of Columbia paints a picture of the political pie counter and political graft in the distribution of patronage if we are given such representation. The idea is perfectly absurd for this amendment creates no new offices for the District of Columbia with these | exceptions. The only new officers are Senator and Representative. There would be no lower ranking officers or changes in the method of appointment. “The principal local administrative and all judicial offices are now and will continue to be filled by the Presi- dent by and with the advice and con- sent of the Senate, while all subordinate positions are filled by those 5o appointed. Therefore, in effect the | President either directly or indirectly appoints all local employes and our proposed amendment to the Constitu- | tion makes no change whatever in this | method. Guards Against Graft. “This completely guards against any possibility of bartering of patronage or graft. We have the same assurance of absence of graft as we have always had as the same safeguards continue with officers directly or indirectly ap- pointed by the President, Congress holding the purse strings and with the same “supervision by the accounting officers of the Federal Government. “The time is ripe for the granting of this boon to the voteless people of this Capital community. A half million people soon to be a million at the very heart of the Nation is too large a body to be denied participation in the coun- cils of the Nation. ‘e have the wealth, the intelligence, the patriotism and the public spirit to make our community well worthy of admission to the family. Our payment of Federal taxes is greater than each of 25 States while our pay- ment of income tax in 1927 exceeded that paid by seven States combined. Our population at the present time is| gr':nar, probably, than each of nine | tes. “By every rule of fair play our amend- ment should be passed by the present Congress. ‘Let Washington vote for President in 1932’ What more fitting celebration could there be of the bi- centenary of the birth of George Wash- ington than the granting of political freedom to the inhabitants of the city | which bears his name?” Costello’s Address. Mr. Costello's speech, in part, follows: “As Democratic national committee- man for the District, it is fitting that I should follow my esteemed friend, Ed- ward F. Colloday, the national commit- teeman for the Republican party. I think that our two addresses should | make the advocacy of suffrage unani- mous. At least both Mr. Colladay and myself feel that way. “However, it is of especial signifi- | cance that a member of Democratic | national committee should be heard on | this subject. One of the founders of | out great party—in fact, the founder— | Thomas JefTerson, is more responsible | than any other one man for the ulti- | mate decision to locate the seat of Gov- | ernment on the Potomac River. Every time I drive around the Speedway, ad- | Joining the Potomac River, or I pass through the world famous stretches of | Rock Creek Park, I offer a prayer of thanksgiving that the vicissitudes of | politics and the ambitions of secticnal | feelings in the very early days of our | Republic enabled Jeferson, upon his | return from France, to assume the po- sition of Secretary of State under Pres- ident Washington, to be the deciding factor in locating the seat of Govern- ment where it now is. Says Jefferson Would Favor Vote. “It is inconcelvable that Thomas Jef- | ferson with his great doctrine of belief in the rule of the people should have entertained for one moment the carving | out of a section of the United States to be the seat of the Government and ex- | cluding the residents thereof from the | privileges of citizenship. “It is with a feeling of pride in my | party that this question, which is of {‘ such deep interest to Washingtonians, should have been ably and clearly sum- med up by another of my party’s great | leaders and President, Andrew Jackson, | s exp Wash. sub.

But to accomplish the objects they had in view it is not necessary that this people should be deprived of all the privileges of self-government. | Independently of the difficulty of in- | ducing the representatives of distant States to turn their attention to projects of laws which are not of the highest | The Argonne 16th and Columbia Road N.W. Four rooms, kitchen, bath and reception room, south- ern exposure. Reasonable rental, | interest to their constituents, they are not individually or in Congress col- lectively well qualified to legislate over the local concerns of this District. Con- sequently, its interests are much neg- lected and the people are almost afraid to present their grievances lest a body in which they are not represented, and which feels little sympathy in their local relations, should in its attempt to make laws for them do more harm than good. Is it not just to allow them at least a Delegate to Congress, if not a local Legislature to make laws for the District subect to the approval or re- jection of Congress? I earnestly rec- ommend the extension to them of every political right which their interests re- quire and_which may be compatible with the Constitution.’ Arguments Applicable Now. “In view of the small population at that time, President Jackson went as far in the direction of national repre- sentation as was then possible. But his arguments are equally applicable to national representation as provided in the proposed amendment for the pres- ent population of more than half a million. “I think that every native Washing- tonian always has been interested in the subject of being accorded the full privilege of citizenship. At least I have. “There have been many plans and movements on foot to obtain the right of suffrage for the citizens of Wash. ington. Some of these plans have been impractical, some have been inspired for self-seeking and selfish reasons, and some have been counter to all reason and precedent, “Under the plan now being advocated with a unanimity of opinion never heretofore given the subject, I can see no reason for denial of what is be- ing asked for. I can say that with par- ticular emphasis, and I know that Mr. Colloday of the Republican committee will join with me. It has come to my ears that the main criticism leveled at a vote for the District of Columbia is the bugaboo of corruption in politics which they criticize, to realize that up a definite machinery of election. No Patience With Such Tactics. “I have no patience with people that will stoop so low as to maliciously make a statement of that character when they know, or should take the pains to be well informed enough on a subject | which they criticise, to realize that there are only three types of officers to be voted on—the President and Vice TALKES" T0 TEL 0 ORATORY CLASH Speeches in Contest Here tcl Be Broadcast Over Columbia Chain.

Besides the “talkie” reccrd of the victor’s performance, the entire cont | meeting will be broadcast over a Natio wide hook-up of radic stations, and the detailed story of the competition will b> | printed on the first pages of the leading newspapers here and abroad. It will be the first time in history that a purely academic endeavor of a student bhas been broadcast by such a com- bination. | Announcement of the talking motion picture broadcast was made here last | night by Randolph Leigh, director gen- | eral of the contest, who recently com- pleted arrangements for the visual and sound record of the winning speech with the Fox Film Corporation (Fox-Case | Corporation). Under the terms of the agreement, the movietone record of the speech will be released to theaters in every English-speaking nation of the world. At the same time Mr. Leigh announced that similar full-length pic- torial and vocal records will be made by the Fox experts of each of the 24 national champions, who, as winners of the contest in their respective countries, will strive for the right to enter the international finals here next October. The foreign speeches, however, will be released only 1n the nations of the world in which their languages are spoken, Winner to Be Given to All. Under that plan, American audiences will be able to hear the English and the Canadian speakers as well as the American champion. The Mexican, Cuban and South American winners will be heard and seen in the films in each of those countries as well as in Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries. The speech of the international cham- plon—the winner of the international meet, here in October—will be released | in movietone to audiences in all nations, however.

There will be no public funds to be made the cat’s paw of a corrupt ring, no police force to be used to barter and sell pro- tection—these are now taken care of by the United States Government, but paid for by taxes collected from the people of the District of Columbia, and there is no reason to change. “The fact that this question is really not politically controversial is one of the reasons I am addressing you this evening from the same platform from which Mr. Colloday of Republican national committee talks to you. Party Representation Cited. “The people of the District of Co- lumbia have been recognized by both the great political parties. The Re- publican and Democratic parties in na- tional convention have recognized the right of the people of the District of Columbia to have a voice in the affairs of their ties. This has been accom- plished by granting representatives in the convention that nominate their re- spective candidates for President and Vice President—the Replblican party | granting two delegates and two alter- | nates and the Democratic party, of | which I am a member, granting the | right of six delegates and six alternates | to the District of Columbla. This per- | mits the people of the District of Co- | lumbia a voice in the selection of can- didates of the two parties. In addi- tion, both parties grant us the right | to a voice in the councils of their parties by electing a national commit- teeman and a national committeewom- an from the District of Columbia with the same power and voting strength as any State in the Union. “We thus see that the great parties themselves have given us full recogni- tion, but it remains for the Congress to accord the same justice and repre- sentation, by adopting the joint reso- lution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States pro- viding for national representation for the peoplg of the District of Columbia.” There is widespread use in Mexico of old tires for footwear by the peons.

APRIL 28 1929—PART 1. “Buddy,” German shepherd dog, leading “Teddy,” who is losing his sight. (CANINE PAL LEADS DOG GOING BLIND 13-Year-0ld Terrier's Sight Fail- ing, 2-Year-Old Pilots Him Around Town. “Teddy,” a 13-year-old Boston ter- rier, gradually is going blind, but his | yonug pal, “Buddy,” 2-year-old intel- ligent German shepherd, has taken him in tow, and the two have become one of the sights of downtown Washington. The dogs live at 1007 E street. They are owned by M. Berman, and the shep- herd dog has been taught to lead “Teddy” about by the leash so he will not be injured in traffic. Crowds watch them wherever they go, and they have attracted much at- tention as the big dog trots amiably along, holding in his mouth the leather {leash, leading his smaller, and much older companion safely among the pedestrians, and across intersections. “Buddy” was trained to do this act by Edward P. Hachenberg, who is em- ployed by the animal’s owner. “Buddy” also i5 becoming adept at the art of carrying bundles in his capacious jaws, in addition to holding the leash. So when Hachenberg goes shopping “Buddy” performs the service not only of keeping “Teddy” safely in tow, but of carrying papers, bundles, and often comparatively heavy pack- ages in_his_mouth. If this is the case, the debenture plan will be stricken from the bill in all probability. The only thing which would hold 1t in under such circumstances would be a solid front on the part of the Democrats in support of it, and that is not believed to be a possibility. It is expected that the opponents of the debenture plan will occupy most of ‘he time in the debate which is coming on that proposal. Theré has been no disposition manifested so far to delay a vote in the Senate on the debenture plan or the farm bill itself. Senator Watson hopes to be able to get to a vote on his motion to strike out the" debenture plan by Thursday. Heflin Resolution Vote Possible. The Senate adjourned Friday until tomorrow. This makes possible a “morning hour” tomogrow, and if pos- sible a vote will be tfken on the reso- | lution of Senator Heffin condemning the attack which was made on him following his address in Brockton, Mass,, last March. This matter, while has occupied the attention of the Sen- ate already for many hours of debate, ! may be a contributing factor this week to delay the passage of the farm bill, | unless it is disposed of promptly. The belief was expressed last night that the resolution would fail, on the ground that it was not a matter the Senate as a body should take a hand in. After the Senate shall have put through the farm bill, it is planned to consider in that body the reapportion- ment and census bill, one or two minor bills dealing with agriculture and per- haps the national origins clause of the immigration act, the suspension of which has been recommended by Presi- dent Hoover. It is belleved that these measures will have been disposed of by the time the House has passed the ariff bill. ‘The first lithograph press was set up in New York about the year 1825. —Star Staff Photo. 1 DEATH OF PARTIER ADTOCARDEALER QCaIifornian Confesses, Blam- | | ing Rum—Police Say Vic- ! tim’s Wife Was Cause. By the Associated Press. PASADENA, Calif., April 27.—John L. Howard, Pasadena automobile dealer, | was charged with the murder of Victor L. Cooley, his wealthy business partner nd roommate, in a warrant issued in ustice Court here today. Howard was arraigned later and the date of his pre- liminary hearing set for Priday. Issuance of the warrants followed Howard's alleged confession yesterday in which he said he beat Cooley to death with a hammer during a quarrel over a pint of whisky. Police expressed belief that Howard's love for Mrs. Pearl Cooley, estranged wife of the wealthy clubman, had more to do with the slay- |ing than had whisky. The woman told police Howard had made love to her for some time. After his arrest and before his ‘arraignment, Howard was taken to the apartment he shared with Cooley, to re-enact for police the scene in which he says he beat his victim last April 16. Here he was alternately gay and, morose and challenged the district at- | torney to “beat” his plan to plead guilty and “escape the rope.” He adhered to his story of the fight which resulted four days later in Cooley's death. Cooley | gleev;’er regained consciousness before he Since Howard’s confession, Mrs. Cooley has been in a sanitarium suffer- ing from a mervous breakdown. Police learned that Mrs. Cooley will obtain upward of $95,000 under her late hus- | band’s will of which she is sole bene- | ficiary. There also is about $20,000 in life insurance. | FOR SALE SEVERAL COUNTRY ESTATES ON STATE ROADS—ELECTRICITY WITHIN 12 MILES OF TREASURY L. W. GROOMES, 1416 ¥ ST. 2001 16th St N.W.
