District of Columbia Suffrage^ Association. Census Figures Cited. The subcommittee was told earlier that on the eve of the last national election the Census Bureau esti mated there were 450,000 adults In Washington who had no vote. The census figures were cited by Paul E. Lesh of the Citizens Joint, Committee on National Representa- j tion. after Mrs. Morgan Pryse. an opponent of suffrage, had given an 1 analysis based on Federal personnel records tending to show that actual District residents number only 93,393. Mrs. Pryse based her estimate of 93,393 actual local residents on the Federal employe apportionment fig ures. From more than 161,000 Fed eral employes she deducted 8,975 credited to the District. To the re maining 152.552 she applied a Census Bureau family ratio of 3.8. L. P. Schmeckebier and Meyer Jacob stein of the Brookings Institution, who are aiding Senator McCarran in studying the suffrage question, raised a series of questions against this method of estimating actual District residents, as distinguished from those who claim State resi dence. They took the view that the civil service apportionment figures reflect the origin of Government employes, but that there is no reli able way of determining how many employes continue to retain State residence after working here for a number of years. Wilson Opposes Change. Mr. Lesh Interrupted to present the Census Bureau estimates made just before the November election, which, he said, showed that Wash ington's total population of persons 21 years or over was 502.000. The census figures Indicated 52.000 of these adults had the right to vote in the States, which left an esti mated 450,000 voteless Washing tonians. Charles Frederick Wilson went be fore the subcommittee to oppose any change in the present form of local government, but offered no objection to national representation. Speaking as an individual. Mr. Wilson contended Washington has probably the best local government in the United States. A. D. Calvert also testified against suffrage, declaring he could not understand why any one would want to exchange the present commission form of government for the "corrup tion and intimidation” that occurs in some other cities in order to ob tain the right to vote one day of 365 each year. Doesn't Miss Right to Vote. Referring to national suffrage, he argued that statehood would be of doubtful legality, and suggested one solution, if Congress decides to act, would be to cede the District back to Maryland. Any other plan, he said, would mean movement of the Capi tol to some point west of the Mississippi. While Mr. Wilson was testifying Mr. Lesh, as spokesman for the Citizens’ Joint Committee on Na tional Representation, asked him if he does not occasionally ‘ have the natural longing of all Americans to take part in electing your Presi dent?” “No, because I was born here," Mr. Wilson replied. He said he sup posed that If he had lived in a community that had suffrage and was later deprived of it, he probably would miss the vote. Mr. Lesh told the subcommittee Mr. Wilson's answer illustrated that the denial of suffrage to Washing tonians from generation to gener ation deprives them of the desire as well as the right to vote.

With R. F. C. Since 1933. Formal approval of Mr. Schram cannot be given until the first meet ing of the new Board of Governors, which is expected to be held May 19. but the special committee, it was learned, presented its findings to an informal meeting of governors yes terday and aU those present signi fied their approval of Mr. Schram.

I with the Reconstruction Finance Corp. since 1933. He was first chief of the Drainage Levee and Irriga tion Division. He became chairman in 1939 when Jesse Jones became Federal Loan Administrator and later Secretary of Commerce. On leaving high school Mr. Schram went to work for a coal and lumber dealer who a few years later gave him a job of draining 5.000 acres of swamp land along the Il linois River. Out of this experience he eventually became chairman of the National Drainage Association, which brought him into the R. F. C. as an expert in Irrigation projects. New Co-operation Seen. Sources close to the Stock Ex change described the selection of Mr. Schram as likely to usher in a "new era" of co-operation between Wall Street and Washington. With the volume of trading re cently shrunk to the lowest levels since the Spanish-American War, Wall Streeters said Important changes must be forthcoming in stock operations if the market place is to continue its previous function in the Nation's financial structure.

Jones Seen Favorable. Wall Street sources said Mr. Jones was understood to be favor able tc seeing Mr. Schram in the key Stock Exchange job Mr Jones, through the R. P. C., has been taking an increasingly ac tive part in the securities markets, they said. Several weeks ago the R. F. C. stepped into the investment market with a purchase of an issue of the State of Arkansas, because it felt a price offered by an investment banking syndicate was not adequate “for a sovereign State.” More recently Mr. Jones an nounced that the R. P. C. would be willing to place bids for issues of public utility securities offered un der the new S. E. C. rules requiring competitive bidding. Negotiators Named. In Washington negotiating with Mr. Schram were said to be Robert L. Stott, who becomes the new chair man of the stock exchange May 12; Charles B. Harding of Smith, Barney & Co., the retiring chairman, and Paul V. Shields of Shields «fc Co., a leading governor of the exchange and member of the Special Com ,mittee. Mr. Martin was the first salaried president of the exchange, having served nearly three years. Ever since the exchange decided to make its presidency a salaried, adminis trative job, it has been a source of continuing argument in Wall Street as to the type of man who should be selected, whether he should be a banker, businessman, politician, col lege president. The job is said to have been informally offered a num ber of national figures, who turned it down. Offering the job to Mr. Schram represents a victory for those de termined to pick a man with experi ence in public life and in Washing ton^ i NOW AT LOWEST PRICE IN FIVE YEARS Stimson to Broadcast Secretary of War Stimson will make a radio address tonight from 9:30 to 10 o'clock.

Hughes, over 50 years in Chesapeake and Ohio Service. "Did you see what happened just now? When the con* ductor came around I could not find my railroad ticket anywhere. I knew I’d bought a ticket, but it wasn’t in the envelope. My heart fell a mile. Then that nice Chesa peake and Ohio conductor smiled and gave me my ticket—I had drop* ped it at the window, but someone picked it up and handed it to him. Now, where do you find people like that except on Chesa peake and Ohio?” Well, it could happen almost anywhere. But perhaps it seems to travelers that more epi* •odes of friendliness and helpfulness occur ' oo Chessie’s trains.
