PUSHVOTE DRV SUTERTELLS.C. Letter Read Over Radio Urges Fight' to Finish for Representation. Residents of the District were urged to continue to fight for the vote, the “basic rights as National Americans which they are so unjustly denied” in a letter from Jesse C. Suter, vice presi- dent of the Citizens’ Joint Committee on National Representation for Wash- ington, read over station WJSV last night. “To my mind,” the letter read, “the voteless and unrepresented ‘inmates’ of | th the District of Columbia should strive, without ceasing, for those basic rights as National Americans which they are £0 unjustly denied. We want and should by all means have, voting rep- vitally interested in the legislative and administrative licies of the Nation than are the 500,000 voteless and un- represented people of the District. “The Nation sends us to war and taxes us for the support of the National Government and naturally on American principles we are justly entitled to rep- Tesentation in the National Legislature which declares war, expends the tax moneys and makes the laws which we, in common with all other Americans, . This great representative republic is based upon just that prin- ciple. Those failing to recognize so fundamental a principle as being ap- plicable to the District residents should migrate to some country where so- called “best citizens” rule and govern in the interest of their own kind. “While the granting of these rights of National citizenship would not change the form of our, Nation con- trolled, local government there would undoubtedly accrue advantages to the people of the District through partici- pating as National Americans in Con- gress and in the choice of the President.

Grants Customs Immunity for Holy Book From Ethiopian King. A Bible sent to the Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington, by Emperor Holle Selassie I of Ethiopia was granted immunity from customs duty yesterday as an act of international courtesy. The gift, covered with precious met- als and a cross of gold and silver, was sent to the Episcopal bishop in appre- clation for a prayer he had made for the success of the Emperor's reign. The Bible had been held by customs officers several weeks because it was dutiable under the tariff law. A'request from the State Department 425 ARMY PLANES READY FOR COMBAT Davison Reveals Actual Force Available if Emer- gency Should Arise. Should a national emergency arise tomorrow the Army Air Corps could muster only about 425 combat planes, it was stated today by F. Trubee Da- vison, Assistant Secretary of War for Aeronautics, in a speech before the Third Annual Afrport Conference at ‘Tulsa, Okla., the War Department an- nounced. ‘Though the Air Corps will muster approximately 670 planes of all types for the Spring maneuvers in May, ap- proximately 250 of these ships are cargo and school planes, which could D.

By an automatic system being installed they light the windows as they approach. The novelty of seeing a dark- ened window suddenly -blaze forth in lights attracts attention to the display. T‘:e system also reduces light bills. ARREENENT BASS =2 Norris and La Guardia Out- line Legislative Program in New Congress. Senator Norris of Nebraska and Rep- resentative La Guardia of New York, as leaders of the Progressives, agreed upon a co-operative progrant of legislation for the new Congress at an hour’s confer- ence late yesterday. They are confident that the Progressives, holding the bal- ance of power, will be able to force their program umfl the major party which organizes the incoming Congress. They emphasize that their program compre- hends complete understanding between the interests of the city laborer and the farmer.
