Mrs. Norton Says District
Needs Representation.
Natives Celebrate.
Washington citizens last night-were
advised by Representative Mary T.
Norton, chairman of the House Dis
trict Committee, to conduct an organ
ized fight for national representation
to aid in their efforts to secure im
provements in the National Capital.
Speaking on "Pair Play for Wash
ington” before the Society of Natives
of the District of Columbia at its
annual banquet in the Mayflower Ho
tel. Mrs. Norton said the House Dis
trict Committee ‘is doing the best it
can for the District with its limited
time.” She said, however, that Repre
sentatives on the District Committee
have to consider first their own home
districts in their respective States,
and that their work on the committee
**is more of a secondary service.”
The House District Committee chair
man added it is her belief that many
District problems "could be solved
more satisfactorily” if the city had its
own representatives in Congress to
Work for its needs. She said she had
often wondered why the people here
do not get together and “organize
solidly" in their fight for national
npnrpspn ration
Urges Hearing on Bill.
Even now. she pointed out, her own
bill for national representation lies
Idle in committee. If the citizens were
organized properly in their fight for
representation in Congress, she de
clared, they could cause the commit
tee at least to hold a hearing on the
bill. After that, she said, it could be
Carried to the floor of the House.
Mrs. Norton also expressed the view
that citizens here should be allowed to
Vote for presidential candidates.
The speaker attacked the condition
of Washington’s hospitals, declaring
they are as low in "physical condi
tion" as hospitals anywhere. “I have
been to a number of hospitals here
and have been shocked,” she said.
She praised the hospital staffs, how
ever, for their efficiency.
Hits Portable Schools.
Likewise, she deplored the exist
ence of portable school houses, saying:
“Imagine a city as beautiful as this
having portable schools.”
Representative Prank Crowther en
tertained the society with a number
of selections on the piano and violin.
. In beginning her address. Mrs. Nor
ton told Crowther she envied him for
having a hobby at home to aid him in
forgetting what had gone on during
the day. The New York representa
tive then told her he had a violin at
the office, which he sometimes plays
there. Mrs. Norton then suggested
that she visit him with members so
that he could soothe them with the
music.
cusewnere in ner auuress sne as
sured her audience she wants to do
what she can for the District, and
aaid: "I am one of the persons who be
lieve there Is not anything too good
for the District."
Besides playing. Crowther enter
tained with jokes and then spoke
briefly, upholding the principle of
buying American-made products.
The banquet was held In observance
of the laying of the first corner stone
of .the District. April 15, 1791, and a
large part of the program was given
to depicting the growth and beauty of
the National Capital.
Give Pledge of Allegiance.
Fred A. Emery, president of the so
ciety, was toastmaster. The more than
150 Natives and guests joined in re
citing the pledge of allegiance to the
flag. Next they were led by Repre
sentative Crowther in the singing of
"America." George H. O'Connor en
tertained with a number of songs, ac
companied by George Wilson.
James F. Duhamel, the society’s
historian, spoke briefly on “The Day
We Celebrate,” in which he empha
sized the significance of the occasion
In commemorating the laying of the
District's first corner stone 145 years
ago.

ter songs also was presented in sound

John Saul, president of the Wash
ington Board of Trade, spoke on "The
Future Washington.” in which he told
of the many cultural and other ad
vantages of the National Capital. He
predicted that the city’s growth along
its various lines of development will be
even more rapid in the future than in

HEAVY TASK FACES
Lonergan Receives First Im
portant Assignment
as Senator.
By the Associated Preu.
Facing a bigger task than usual,
the Senate Investigation of campaign
expenditures was about ready today
to get under way.
The Investigating Committee was
•ppointed yesterday by Vice Presi
dent Garner. Its job Is larger than
in previous years, not only because of
the accelerated pace of campaign ex
penditures as shown in recent reports
filed with Congress, but also because
It has authority to inquire into
charges of politics In the spending
of relief funds.
Chairman of the committee Is
Senator Lonergan, Democrat, of
Connecticut, undertaking his first
Important assignment since he moved
from the House to the Senate. Others
on the commute are Senators Min
ton, Democrat, of Indiana; Schwel
lenbach, Democrat, of Washington;
■■ 11.. -MBa—
La Follette, Progressive, of Wisconsin,
and Austin, Republican, of Vermont.
Although Lonergan said he prob
ably would not call the committee
together until next week, there was
Indication that work was accumu
lating not only in the field of cam
paign funds but in charges relating
to relief money as well.
One of the first cases before the
committee may be the charge by
Stephen Raushenbush, formerly chief
of the Senate Munitions Committee
staff, that politics was linked with
the administration of the W. P. A.
In Pennsylvania.
The Lonergan committee begins
with an appropriation of $30,000. It
has broad authority to subpoena
