Washington News D.C. VOTE MEASURE INTRODUCED BY CHARMAN NORTON Resolution in House ldentical With That Proposed in Senate by Capper. CO-OPERATION PLEDGE GIVEN CITIZEN GROUP District Committee Head Also to Aid Nation-Wide Campaign for Voteless Capital. A resolution calling for a constitu- onal amendment to enfranchise the Lizens of the District of Columbia was introduced in the House today by Chairman Mary T. Norton of the House District Committee. As she offered the resolution, Mrs. Norton pledged earnest co-operation with the Citizens’ Joint Committee on National Representation to get favor- able action in the next session of Congress. The resolution is identical with that proposed in the Senate by Senator Cap- per, former chairman of the Senate District Committee. Mrs. Norton also pledged her assist- ance in a Nationwide campaign to in- form the country of the voteless plight of the citizens of the District. “It is un-American that the residents of the National Capital should be the only people under the American flag ‘who are without a vote or voice in the making of the laws under which they live and in the selection of a Chief Executive, and they have less rights under the Constitution than foreigners,” #aid Mrs, Norton. Will Push Resolution. She declared that, while the adminis- tration's program during the present Congress will not permit the considera- tion of other legislation, she has intro- duced this resolution today with a de- termination to push it before the Judiciary Committec at the next session of Congress and in the meanwhile en- couraged all friends of the District to make an aggressive campaign of educa- tion throughout the States so that they may be ready to vote intelligently on the proposed constitutional amend- ment 5 “It is only a matter of justice and fairness that since they bear burdens of taxation and military service in sup- port of the Nation in times of war and in ace, comparable with that car- Tied by any other citizens, the residents of Washington should be given equal rights in making the laws and in select- ing the officers of Government, she aid. . 2 “I believe,” continued Mrs. Norton, “that an enthusiastically —organized campaign of education at this time sup- ported by a firm presentation of the case to Congress will result in favor- able action upon the proposed Consti- tutional amendment.” The Capper-Norton resolution pro- vides for an amendment to the Con- stitution to be proposed for ratification by the Legislatures of the several States which, when ratified by three- fourths of the States, shall be valid as 2 part of the Constitution. Power to Congress. This resolution specifies that “The Ccngress shall have power to admit to the status of citizens of a State the residents of the District constituting the seat of Government of the United States, created by Article 1, Section 8, for the purpose of representation in the Congress and among the electors of President and Vice President and for the purpose of suing 2nd being sued in the courts of the United States under provisions of Article III, Section 2. “When the Congress shall exercise this power the residents of the District shall be entitled to elect one or two Scnators, as_determined by the Con- gress, or such other representatives in the Senate as Congress may provide for. representatives in the House ac- cording to their numbers as determined by the decennial innumeration, and presidential electors equal in number 1o their aggregate representation in the House and Senate or as Congress may provide. “The Congress shall provide by law the qualifications of voters and the time and manner of choosing the Sen- ator or Senators, the Representative or Representatives, and the electors herein authorized. “The Congress shall have power to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers.” TAX WOULD INCREASE ALCOHOL FUEL USE Yegislation Proposed Both Branches of Congress Rais- ing Gasoline Rate. in By the Assoctated Press Legislation to increase use of alco- hol motor fuel through taxation was proposed today in both branches of Congress. Authors in the Senate were Senators Clark, Democrat, of Missouri, #nd Dick- inson, Republican, of Iowa. Represen- tative Shallenberger, Democrat, of Ne- braska, who introduced the bill in the House, said it would “lead to a con- sumption upwards of 300,000,000 bust:- els of corn annually.” Gasoline producers now pay a Fed- eral tax of one cent a gallon. The bill would raise the rate to two cents till the end of 1934 and three cents there- after, but all blends with alcohol made from domestic farm products would pay only one cent a gallon as formeny. Through the remainder of 1933, a 1 per cent admixture would be specified; 2 per cent through 1934, and 5 per cent thereafter. “This does not mean that all gaso- fine sold after July 1 would have to contain a minimum of 1 per ceuc alcohol,” Shallenberger said. “As the bill now reads, a producer gelling, for example, 100,000 gallons, could sell 90,000 straight gasoline and 10,000 of mixed fuel, containing 10 per cent alcohol, or 1,000 gallons of alcohol. This would be 1 per cent of the entire output and therefore would be in com- pliance with the bill, paying only one cent per gallon tax. Similarly, 80,000 gallons of straight gasoline could be sold with 20,000 of 5 per cent alcohol blend. The blended fuel could be sold ®t & premium.” Shepherdstown Banks Open. ;TOWN, W.

Beer retailers in the District today began slowly to make their way to the District Building to pay the $1 a barrel | tax cn the sale of the beverage. Up to noon only 14 retailers had filed reports with the tax assessor of the | amounts of 3.2 per cent beer they had sold during April, as required by the District beer act. These holders of “on sale” and “off sale” permits filed reports showing they collectively had sold a grand total of 1531, barrels of the beverage, which would preduce a tax of $153.50. This is but a very small percentage of the total of more than 1,500 restau- rateurs here who have been licensed to sell beer. Charles A. Russell, deputy assessor of taxes, is preparing to re- {ceive a flood of beer sale reports on the last few days in which the state- ments may be received. The law pre- scribes that all retail permit holders, as well as wholesalers, must file their sales reports for the preceding month, be- tween the first and tenth day of each month. The District Beverage Permits Board, headed by Vernon E. corporation counsel, was to meet in semi-weekly session this afternoon to consider additional applications for temporary permits and also to study plans for issuance in the near future of annual permits to those who pass in- spection and other requirements.

REPAIR SHOP MEN MAY RETURN | Commissioners Evolve Plan for Rehiring Some of Per Diem Workers. Some of the 68 per diem employes of the District Repair Shop who were dropped from the rolls recently because of lack of funds would be called back into normal service under a plan ap- proved tentatively today by the District Co loners. This would be made possible by charging against an appropriation of $120,000 for the reconstruction of sec- tions of the Wilson Teachers College which had fallen into an unsafe condi- tion, the cost of certain other work found necessary at that institution amounting to about $18,000. ‘This $18,000 figure at first had been charged against the fund for repairs to District buildings and grounds, on the assumption it was not a part of the Wilson Teachers College rebuilding project.

OBTAINING NECESSITIES FIRST IS RECOMMENDED Warns Suffering Now Would Be Evident in Next Genera- tion or Two. In an appeal made over a Nation- wide radio hookup today, in the interest of Child Health day, Mrs. MONDAY, MAY 1, 1933. Franklin i Roosevelt urged that special care be| given the children of America during these times of economic distress. If the child is allowed to suffer now the country will feel the results in the next generation or two, she said. The address was delivered from the White House, and was made in the e of umber of persons in- terested in the child health day move- ment. In urging the proper care of the youth of the country in these times she gave the reminder that the three most important points to remember are “housing, food and recreation.” In this connection Mrs. Roosevelt de- clared that appearances and extrava- gances should be forgotten and that to properly meet the situation in the interests of the child the parents should deal primarily with necessities and count among these necessities “the well fed, healthy body and cheerful spirit.” Text of Address. Roosevelt'’s address in full Il g 10 ese are times in which all of us health of the children. In times of econcmic distress, such as we have been going through, the adult can stand the difficulties and the temporary hard- ships better than the children and on this Chi}l Health day we should con- sider what it will mean to us as & country in the future generations if we allow our children to suffer from the present economic conditions and there is only one way in which we can hope | to meet this difficulty adequately and | that is through better education and the use of all possible governmental agencies set up to give all people addi- tional information in order that the children may not suffer. “We should remember that as far as possible the children’s housing should be healthful and what money we have should be spent on rent, on food, leav- ing only what money is actually needed for the minumum amount of clothing. “Food is vital, and not merely any food which you may happen to have, but the right kind of food. The Fed- eral Government, through its Bureau of Home Economics and the vagious State colleges and relief agencies, are doing their best to distribute menus which contain the right proportion of different kinds of foods and yet can be bought at the cheapest possible rates. Above all, 1f possible, the children’s milk and vegetables should not be curtailed and they should be properly cooked. This is extremely important, for many foods are ruined by the way in which they are cooked. “In Pennsylvania it has been found necessary instead of giving mcney to people for their work to give them Tations, because bought in quantity they could be bought much more cheaply. “At the same time it would be found necessary to provide people to show the women how to cook these foods. This is a service which I feel is most im- portant, for we in this country have been rather negligent in the art of cook- ing and it is an art which not only serves the pleasure of the palate, but as well builds up the strength of the Nation. Camping Trips Cheap. “This is a time above all others to cultivate in our children a love for the kind of amusements which could be had for little money. the country trails outside the big cities can sometimes be achieved for the ex- penditure of a very small sum of money for carfare and what is more healthful than camping trips? With the new development of the park systems, very little equipment is needed for camp- ing and this is the cheapest way to spend a holiday. “But the really impertant factor in the present situation is the intelligence and education of the parents. They can meet this situation courageously, with determination to give the children the best they can get under the prevailing circumstances, or they can waste time in useless complaints. They can prove also that simplicity hurts no one and that frequently inexpensive, simple things are far better than the most extravagant forms of pleasure in which we indulge in when times are less hard. “So, when planning a program to carry our children and ourselves through these hard times, let us remember the three most important points—housing, food and recreation. Let us forget ap- pearances and deal primarily with necessities and count amongst these necessities the well fed, healthy body and cheerful spirit.” ROOSEVELT GETS 1,200 PRESIDENT’S DAY WIRES By the Assoclated Press. 1f you were a sender, this is to thank you for that telegram or letter to Frank- lin D.
