A-10 & D.C. VOTE PUSHED | BY STATE GROUPS Allen Launches Movement to Promote Support in All Sections. BY J. A. O'LEARY, , Btaff Correspondent of The Star. PHILADELPHIA, June 27.—Con- vinced that Washingtonians will need | the active support of voting citizens| of the States In order to gain national | representation, Commissioner George E. Allen yesterday launched a move- ment to organize State committees to keep the question alive throughout the country. Spurred on by the action of the Democratic National Convention in adopting a resolution urging Congress te study and report on the voteless eondition of District residents, Com- missioner Allen designated Walter F. | Bramhall, head of the Young Demo- | erats of Washington, to build up na- tional representation committees in the States | Tackling the task immediately, | Bramhall announced here last night that he already has been promised co- | operation by members of three delega- | tiong—Louisiana, Indiana and Texas. Bramhall said Seymour Weiss has ac- | cepted appointment as chairman in Louisiana., and Alvin Johnson, State ! president of the Young Democrats of Indiana, will direct the work in that| Btate. Bramhall Leads Work. Upon his return to Washington this wreek Bramhall will continue his efforts to interest leaders in other States in forming committees to back up the appeal of voteless Washington for rep- resentation in the House and Senate. and the right to vote for President and | Vice President. “My experience here this week has indicated to me that there are still many citizens of the States who either do not know or have given little thought to the fact that half a million of their fellow citizens in Washington have no voice whatever in Congress and in national elections,” said Com- missioner Allen For this reason. Allen said. it is essential to awaken interest among the people of the States. who have it within their power, through Con- gress. to extend the franchise tn the residents of the National Capital The District delegates to this con- vention feel that a decisive step for- ward was taken when the convention adopted the resolution offered by Gecrge P. Marshall. in which Congres was urged to inguire into and re| on the District's petition for suffrage Tea Farty Helped. Of more lasting effect was the fact that the local delegation kept Wazh- ington’s voteless condition constantly before the visitors from all s of the country, through the re-enact- ment of the Boston Tea Party, and gent hundreds of them home with a stronger realization of the injustice of depriving more than 560.000 Amer- icans of any participation in the enactment of national or local laws Commissicner Allen believes the Btate organizations he has in mind can effectively help the people of ‘Washington obtain action on the joint Tesolution for a constitutional amend- ment that would vest Congress with the power to give residents of the District representation in the House and Senate, and the right to vote for President and Vice President. Several hundred Young Dcmocrats from the District of Columbia came to Philadelphia on a special train yesterday afternoon to attend the notification ceremonies in Franklin Field last night, tions SENTENCED TO DIE | Railroader Must Pay Penalty for Blaying Girl.

The Way to Opinion Strongly Favors Plan, Says John Myer, Returning. Would an alliance between the United States and Great Britain be the way to promote world peace? The average Britisher thinks so, ac- cording to John Myers, 26-year-old business executive, who spent a number of weeks touring the British Isles re- cently with a serious question as a hobby. Here is the question he put to every one he met, from waitresses to society to bootblacks: “What do you feel to be the most essential step at the present time for particular reference to quieting present disturbances and rumors in Europe?” That was all. The answers Myers wrote down carefully just as tHey were given. A cross-section of them so0 in- stretched what Myers had expected to be a 15-minute interview into a dis- cussion that lasted for four hours. Conclusions Drawn. Myers, who is connected with a lead- ing milling firm in St. Paul, whilie in | ‘Washington on business, drew these | two conclusions from the extemporane- ous answers to his question: “The Britisher seems far more inter- ested in and vastly better informed re- garding international affairs than in previous decades, &s shown by the fact that of all the answers given, less than | 5 per cent indicated a lack of knowl- edge in world matters. Ninety-five | per cent had ready answers and definite answers to give. “Europe will draw us (the United into foreign affairs whether we so desire or not. Accepting this, our task is to cautiously move along those lines which, through building the world peace machinery to a finer and higher degree than ever before. will in the long run make for better commerce and good will among na- tions.” Here are some typical answers he got to his question in England H. H. Wilcox, retired industrialist in Exeter Of course the natural and logical | line-up would be England, America, | and Germany. But Hitler is such an uncertain quantity that for the pres- ent, at least, I feel we must leave out Germany.” Great Banker Natlons.

Worstadt, chemist in Plymouth: “You know, so lenz as the English- speaking nations stick together the in- | ternational situation will remain in | balance.” O. E. Simmonds, M. P.: “The moral effect on the rest of the world, par- ticularly Japan and Germany, which weuld resuit from a close alliance be- tween Great Britain and the United States is something so highly tremen- dous and so greatly to be desired. from othi points of view. that I cannot cak too highly in its favor.” shoemaker in Ply- “Looks as if the League is all Guess we and the Yanks 'ad make our own league if there's to be any peace in this world.” | A.

E. Webster, staff purser, R. M. 8. Aquitania: “You know I'm with Amer- icans and Britishers all the time on board ship. They all say that these two countries should have more | friendly relations than they do, but it seems that nothing is ever done about it. The Americans say there are two much politics in the States, | and I guess mayby that's right, but I'm sure England would co-operate if America would.” R. O. Judker, public house pro- prietor in Windsor: “Just so long as we have Hitlers and Mussolinis in the world we never will have any lasting peace. The first step is to get rid of | them.” ‘Wm. Barrett, professor at the Uni- versity of London: “I am terribly afraid that I have allowed myself to join that very large group of erstwhile League supporters who now class themselves as cynics. We have tried | for some yvears to be the leaders in this highly idealistic movement for world peace, only to get our ears a | bit trimmed down in the Mediterra- | nean. Until the United States makes up her mind to ‘play cricket’ with us | we might just as well all become cynics. Her undetermined position is the great weak spot in all peace plans.” i Next War Bad One. R. O. Davies, R. A. C. scout in | Northern England: *“The next war will sure be a bad one for all of us And it sure is on the way if some- thing isn't done done about it pretty soon. I'm thinking what we need is less treaties and pacts and more real feeling among the people themselves. | Some of these diplomats have had | their chance and not been zo good. Better let the people themselves try something.” Sally Blannum, secretary in Lon- don: “All I know is what I hear Mr Blake. my boss, say. He says the only | real solution is for England and Amer- ica to stand right together on all major points.” | Alfred C. Bossom, M. P.: “I was talk- ing with a representative of Russia | only vesterday. He said they were| arming as fast as possible and that | they expected they might be forced to fight Japan on the one side and Ger= STAR, WASHINGTON, many on the other at the same time. He stated they (Russia) would be pre- pared in two years and asked me when we would be fully prepared. I said it would be at least two years. Then we both agreed that the only solution to this terrible possibility lies in the hands of America.” ‘W. E. Connon, minister in London: “Engl , with the aid, if it is sin- cere, of the United States, can bring about world peace. Without America she may be able only to postpone the next war.” Ted Rose, London bobby: “I'm thinking the only sane people in Eu- rope are the British. Too bad we can't just sit back and watch ‘em all fight among themselves. But I guess we just ean't keep out of any ascrap, if it looks like & good one.” A. Smythe, London cabby: “Well, looks to me as though our best bet is to get teamed up with America and then let the rest of ‘em go at it again.” Bert Snyders, bootblack in Dover: “It's got to be the English-speaking people that will have to run the old world.” Mrs. leader: “Being an American by birth and a Britisher by choice, I feel I have a rather fair view of the Anglo-Amer- ican feelings. What we most need is a far deeper feeling of friendship and respect among the two peoples, one for the other. It must be made impos- sible for Britaln and America to ever | land on the opposite sides of the fence | in any major international complica- tion. The real feelings of the people must control this action as a guard against diplomatic errors on the part of our representatives.” K. G. Bayport, wheat broker in Liv- erpool: “The answer to this question | is obvious—an airtight Anglo-Ameri- can union. The untraveled English- man cannot understand the American point of view as regards his great de- sire for isolation. I can vision it and understand why it is desired. Never- theless, in the event of a major scrap, America must at least be more definite in her foreign policy than at present. What America needs most is a real| spirit of nationalism, such as prevails | in England. Facing a far greater problem in this line than we do, due to the numerous nationalities represent- ed, America must first accomplish this. Then. and only then. can England and | America really stand together.” . C. Bossom, London social | Complete Landscape Service( fulll al ) | your ()| f at_very attractive prices. * and estimates.

SOCIAL WORKERS MARK 14TH YEAR American Association Counts Harry L. Hopkins Among First Presidents. The American Association of Soctal Workers, comprising more than 10,000 members whose lives are directed to the alleviation of social flls, today celebrates the fourteenth anniversary of ita adoption of a constitution, Harry L. Hopkins, who has since handled billions of dollars in relief money for the Government, was one of the first presidents of the associa- tion which was founded in 1932 by a small group of East Side New York social workers, Today the organiza- tion has chapters in 72 cities through- out the United States. With the Government's entry into the relief problem in 1932, some of the association’s most outstanding mem- bers were called to Washington to aid in solving the relief problem. It has been the purpose of the organization since its origin to raise the professional standards of its mem- bers and at the same time effect an increasing consciousness of the im- portance of organized social work among the citizens of the country.
