A—8 VISITORS ARE TOLD OF VOTELESS D.C. Yhousands Will Carry Home Appeals for Voice in Na- tional Affairs. The movement for granting resi- dents of the District a voice in their government will be spread to many new sections of the United States by thou- sands of visitors who came to Washing- ton to join in the Roosevelt inaugural celebration. Literature telling of Washington's pe- tition for spokesmen in Congress and the right to vote in presidential elec- tions, distributed to thousands of in- augural visitors, will be carried back home to further expand the campaign éor a “new deal” for the District resi- lent. Tt is the hope of members of the Citizens' Joint Committee on National Representation that in this way the celebration of the inauguration of a new President will hasten the day when the Washington resident will be granted his right of franchise, Souvenir inaugural pamvhlets were distributed from headqu~ ters cf the committee in the Postal Telegraph Co. offices, in the Washington Building, where poster displays emphasized the plight of Washington. There were other displays at the Willard Hotel at Jelleff’s, Thirteenth and F streets. ‘Workers Stay at Posts. Loyal workers of the Joint Committee stayed at their posts in the Washington Building to a late hour Friday night. Again yesterday, before and after the inaugural parade, they were busy spreading the work of local disfran- chisement to visiting throogs. Other workers distributed the booklets along the line of the parade. The work will be continued today and Monday. ‘Three young women who were pupils of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt while she was a member of the faculty of the ‘Todhunter School for Girls, New York, devoted a portion of their time while visiting here yesterday to assisting mem- bers of the Citizens’ Joint Committee on National Representation. The trio came to Washington to attend the inaugural ceremonies at the invitation of Mrs. Roosevelt. They were Miss Jean Parker, Miss Peggy Delafleld and Miss Kath- arine Bolton. The committee work was under the direction of Jesse C. Suter, a vice chair- man of the central body, and under the general supervision of Theodore W. Noyes, chairman of the Citizens’ Joint Committee on National Representation. Among those assisting were Mr. and Mrs, Walter A. Brown and their daugh- ter, Horace J. Phelps, Mrs. Edna L. Johnston, Mrs. Lyman B. Swormstedt, Mrs, William Friedman and her daugh- ter, Miss Janet Richards, Mrs. Konigs- berger, John B. Dickman, Edward S. Hine, A. L. Leftwich Sinclair and F. J. Lukens. Assistance also was given by a ip of students of Goucher College, Baltimore, including Misses Ethel Patz of Georgia, Harriet Miller of Chester, Pa.; Emma Wargo of Trenton, N. J., and Regina and Mirlam Ottenberg of this city, daughters of Mr, and Mrs. Louis Ottenberg. Proposal Explained. ‘The souvenir pamphlets given to visi- tors contained an explanation of the ?mpo!ed amendment to the Constitu- ion under which Washington would be given elected representation in the House and Senate, the right to vote in presidential elections and the right to sue in Federal courts. It would not re- strict the control Congress has over the District nor change the form of local governmental administration. ‘The pamphlet also carried the follow- ing concise exposition of Washington's present, plight: “The half million Americans of the District constitute the only community in all the expanse of the continental United States—populous, intelligent, public-spirited, of adequate resources— Wwhich is denied representation in the National Government. “In relation to national laws the sole function of the District residents is to obey. They take no part in making the laws which they must obey. “In relation to national taxes their sole function is to pay. ‘They have nothing to say, like other taxpayers, concerning the amount and kind of 'AIR FORCES PAY THE SUNDAY District Vote Petition Placed Before Visitors STAR, WASHINGTO. ) Thousands of pamphlets telling of the petition for representation in Congress for the District’s half million resi- dents were distributed to visiting inaugural throngs yesterday.

Toby Cook, 7-year-old Chula, Ga., boy who rode ponies 811 miles to attend the inauguration at Presi- dent Roosevelt’s request, rode one in the inaugural parade and afterward told this story to the Associated Press. It was the biggest parade I ever saw. 1 liked it because they had lots of bands and flags, and because Mr. Roosevelt is the new President. Mr. Roosevelt is about the nicest man I know. He'll be a good President be- bom! cause he's got lots of brains and lots of friends. It was nice of him to invite me to the inauguration.

Climbing to about 2,500 feet, the ‘bombers closed into “V” formation and headed South over Maryland under low, dark clouds, which trailed smoky fila- ments several hundred feet below them. For perhaps 10 minutes the big twin- motored B-6A bombers continued down the Potomac, alone in the cloud-ceil- inged sky. Suddenly lines of tiny gnats against the distant clouds resolved with startling swiftness into squadron upon squadron of great bombers and tiny, fast pursuit planes. Lieut. Oppenhelm, on the left of the element, followed in a steeply banked turn to the right across the line of flight of the oncoming squadrons and within & few seconds the element slid smoothly into its place in the 96th Squadron, with the great yellow-winged ships of the 49th and 20th Bombard- ment Squadrons below and ahead in a dizzy, stair-stepped formation. Circle Near Alexandria. seral photographer who had been as- slgnes The bombardment group circled in | o the vicinity of Alexandria, Va. for & | sy few minutes, killing time for the few minutes which remained before the time scheduled for the swing above Pennsylvania avenue. The faster pur- suits milled around several miles away —26 of them—a hard hitting thunder- bolt of man-made destruction. Above Washington could be seen a formation of three planes which, by a process of mental elimination, were proved to be those of the air marshal, Gen. Foulois, and his staff. Farther to the East, dim and tiny, hung a cloud of midges which could be nothing but the 30-plane force of the Marine Corps East Coast Expeditionary Force, half of them fresh from fighting insurrec- tlonists in mountainous Nicaragua. Still farther to the East a silver wraith against the clouds showed the place of the giant Akron, as yet in- visible to those in W: L Hands of the synchronized clocks on the instrument panels of 105 airplanes were sweeping around to 3 o'clock— zero hour—and radio orders from Col. Foulois buzzed in the ears of squadron and flight leadars. ‘With magn! precision of the sort which can rerit only from perfect air discipline and long training, the scattered groups, cruising at divergent speeds, swung smoothly into column be- hind the commanding general, down ahead, at the foot of that dizzy stair- case of roaring khaki and yellow bombers.

By the Associated Press. The feminine figures of the old Re- publican regime gracefully stepped aside yesterday. The women of the Demo- cratic “new deal” smilingly took their places. It was a day-long shift of scene, bril- liant and colorful, beginning with the motor parade up Capitol Hill; continu- ing with the significant ceremonies in Senate chamber and on Capitol facade, bursting into real rejoicing with the band-playing of the parade; to a purely feminine White House tea; rising to its most formal, trumpet - and - fanfare heights in the inaugural ball. For that taking-the-oath moment when the change actually came, Mrs. Herbert Hoover, in beige-and-brown, and Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt, in Eleanor blue and darker blue, wearing white orchids and carrying purple violets, walked smilingly together. Friendly Attitude. They didn’t say much to each other, but their faces were truly friendly.

And her “official family” was there too, Mrs. Garner smartly, becomingly gowned in black and white; a well- dressed array of “cabinet wife.” The most gazed-at figure in the cabinet itself also was & woman, Frances Perkins, first feminine member, cynosure of all eyes as she sat on the Senate floor in black tailleur and tricorn hat, ob- served of all who could see her on the stand. Mrs. Garner's “greatest moment” came before Mrs. Roosevelt's did, when, in the closest possible President’s gal- lery seat to the dias to be taken here- after by her husband, she watched him “sworn in"—Her son, Tully, and his wife, and her granddaughter, Genevieve, close beside her. Mrs. Wilson Watches Ceremonies. Watching another Democratic Presl- dent take the oath, Mrs. Woodrow Wil- son, widow of the last one, sat in the second row of the spectators’ stand, of her husband’s party to power. She wore a close-fitting black cloth hat, a black nose veil, a black fur cost with brown fur collar and cuffs, white gloves and a gardenia corsage.

The controller of the currency, it is held, would have au- thority to issue an order covering the banks in the District of Columbia, and if the plan were generally adopted he might be ted authority by Congress to put such a plan into effect through- out the Nation. It is not believed that Congress would undertake to enact a general law guar- anteeing all bank deposits. ‘The President’s address was widely acclaimed, although variously inter- preted. It was regarded as a definite statement that drastic action, if neces- sary, would soon be taken to relieve conditions, Johnson of California, one of the Republicans who supported Mr. Roosevelt in the last campaign, expressed the sentiments of many Progressives, when he sald: “President Roosevelt’s inaugural address had in it hope and more than that, real . We have a new era, and if we can judge from today we have the new man,” Senator Huey Long of Louisiana, an apostle of the redistribution of wealth, read into the Roosevelt speech support for his own pet theory. “It looks to me,” said Senator Long, “like he said in plain words that wealth must be decentralized, and with that, by God, I thoroughly agree.” Democrats Hail Address. ‘The Democratic leaders in Congress hailed the Roosevelt address as a great public document. They expressed the conviction that he would follow it up with a me to the new Congress clearly defining the steps which must , that he would have bills prepared to put his program into effect. President Roosevelt’s assertion that there must be a strict supervision of all banking and credits and investments was taken as & backing for the passage of the Glass bank reform bill by the new Congress, although he made no mention of that measure by name. The Glass bill passed the Senate at the ses- sion just closed, but was pigeonholed in the Banking and Currency Committee of the House. So serious is the banking situation and the problem which it raises that Democratic congressional leaders pre- dicted last night the President would at the opening of the new Congress call upon the legislators to deal with it to the exclusion of all other business. However, it was pointed out, that when the President calls Congress into legis- lative sesion it is impossible to limit the subjects which are to be considered. Undoubtedly, it is said, when the bank- ing legislation has been disposed of, the new Congress will turn its attention to other problems, among them farm re- lief, and unemployment relief. on which President Roosevelt has set his heart. Urges Jobless Relief. ‘The Roosevelt inaugural address, while it dealt primarily with the pres- ent financial situation, also emphasized the need of employment relief, and of the adoption of measures to raise the value of agricultural products. President Roosevelt also entered briefly into the fleld of international rela- tions. He said, “I would dedicate this Nation to the policy of the good neigh- bor—the neighbor who resolutely re- spects himself and, because he does so, respects the rights of others—the neigh- bor who respects his obligations and re- spects the sanctity of his agreements in and with a world of neighbors.” Into this part of his speech will be read a demand that all nations respect international treaties and also that the better nations give due weight to their obligation to pay. The inaugural address of President Roosevelt was the briefest and perhaps the most important since the second in- augural address of Abraham Lincoln in 1865. It was regarded last night as a state paper of the utmost significance.

Navy Yard Visitors.. At the Washington Navy Yard, four ships—the Navy's destroyers U. 8. S. Reuben James and Bainbridge and the Coast Guard cutters Sebago and Cayuga —drew thousands of visitors. While no official count was kept of the number of sightseers aboard, officials placed it well up in the thousands. The Reserv- .| ists from Atlanta were given shore lib- erty after the parade, following which they visited the Lincoln Memorial and other points of interest in the National Capital. The Reuben James and Bain- bridge are scheduled to sail at 7 o'clock this morning, with the Atlanta Reserv- ists. They expect to reach Charleston, 8.
