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.

signed to the task of choosing a
successor to Mr. Martin and to con

organization of the administration of

Formal approval of Mr. Schram
cannot be given until the first meet

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

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.
The Schram choice, therefore,

was said to represent a revolutionary
move in an effort to remove any
spots of friction between the finan
cial district and the Securities and
Exchange Commie; ion that may be
hampering the securities business.
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

WHAT WOULD
YOU DO?
If some one named you as executor and
trustee in his will—what would you do?
We should like to ootboe the duties that
resuk from this often dubious compliment.
The chances are that, if you knew of the

would select for your executor and trustee

it up and handed it to him. Now, where do
you find people like that except on Chesa
