Eight speakers headed by Miss Etta M. Taggart, chairman of the Committee for National Representation of the Federation of Citizens’ Associations, scored the lack of District representa- tion and unanimously favored the so- called “autonomy plan” of a District Council of members representing Minor Alterations Made in Time Jor the “4‘ ” areas covered by the local police pre- cincts. Addressing the special session, which was called by Walter Maio, president of the organization, Miss Taggart charged that aliens have more rights here than residents. “I do not believe that District citi- zens will get far until they get rep- resentation in Senate and House,” she said. Malcolm McConihe, District national committeeman, in conjunction with the plan, also spoke briefly on tax proposals. He declared himself in favor of the sales tax, but opposed the tax on business and chain stores. James G. Yaden, former president of the federation, declared that citi- zens of the District were entering a “state of chaos” next fiscal year. ‘The autonemy plan, which was ap- proved in principle, was submitted re- cently before the Senate subcommittee on the 1938 District appropriation bill by Majo. The. plan as outlined by Maio would be known as the District | Council and would involve creation of 13 elected members representing the R W o S L N areas covered by the city police pre- cincts. At present there are 12 pre- cinets, but another would be formed by division of the eleventh precinct into two sections. The citizens hope Congress will ap- point a committee of three Senators, three Representatives and three citi- zens of the District to study Maio's plan and other plans for self-govern= ment and to report its findings after Congress convenes in January. Other speakers included Wilbur S. Finch, chairman of the Local Suffrage Committee of the Burroughs Citizens’ Association; Joseph L. Gammell, rep- resenting the Lincoln Park Associa- tion; Vernis Absher, vice president of the Southeast organization; A. F. E. Scheer, chairman of the Northeast Conference, and A. S. Evans.
