~ YOUNGDEMOCRATS COMBINE FORCES , District Unit Formed to Co-] ordinate Work of Clubs Here. After prolonged negotiations be- tween the officers of the three Young | Democratic Clubs in the District of Columbia and with the aid of Clff ‘Woodward of Towa, national president, an organization to be known as the Young Democratic Clubs of the Dis- trict of Columbia was formulated at a meeting last night. The new set-up became effective at that time. The central body, which is modeled atter the State organizations which take in all Young Democratic Clubs in the various States, will be com- posed of representatives of the three Washington clubs. These are the Dis- trict Division of the Young Demo- cratic Clubs of America, the Young Democratic Club of Washington and the Young Democratic Club of Capitol Hill, the memberships of which have formally voted approval of the execu- tive body. To Seek Vote for City. Maj. Raymond J. Walter, president of the District of Columbia Division of the Young Democratic Clubs of America and who is slated to become president of the new body when the | election is held in January, announced that he proposed to use every power at his command to secure national representation for the District and hopes to have the new organization adopt this as one of its main objec- tives. “I am a native Washingtonian with- out a vote,” Maj. Walter said, “and I feel that this organization can do no better than to fight for a vote for the ; people of the District of Columbia.” Central Committee. Under the new organization an Executive Committee or Central Com- mittee has been created. This com- mittee will serve as the governing body and co-ordinating group for all Young Democratic groups in the District of Columbia and also will act on all peti- tions for additional clubs that may be formed in the District; will elect a national committeeman and commit- teewoman to represent the Young Democratic Clubs of the District of Columbia on the National Committee of the Young Democratic Clubs of America. . The new set-up in no way alters the status of the present local clubs, all of which will be issued charters and recognized as official units of the Young Democratic Clubs of the Dis- trict of Columbia. | Final details were completed at a | meeting last night of Woodward, Miss | Ruth Lockett of California, national vice president of the Young Demo- cratic Clubs of America; Maj. Walter, Wilbur Heekin, president of the Young Democratic Club of Capitol Hill, and Walter F. Bramhall, president of the ! Young Democratic Club of Wash- ington.
