D. C. Delegates Urged
At Party Conventions
The Washingtonians last night
reiterated its support of legislation
to elect residents of the District as
delegates to national political con- '
ventions.
It was contended that although
the District ha.s delegates to conven- j
tions of the major parties, they are
selected by small groups and that ;
legislation was needed to establish a
more definite procedure of election
The group voted favorably on a
motion recommending that First ;
Assistant Superintendent of Schools j
Robert L Haycock be named by the I
Board of Education as its represent- I
ative on the Board of Recreation. It !
also indorsed the recent renomina
tion of John Russell Young as Dis
trict Commissioner.
A reo.uest was marie to the Office
of Price Administration to allow
people living in private homes to fill
their oil tanks during the summer
months to ease the burden on dealers
next fall. It also suggested simplifica
tion of rationing forms.
The meeting was presided over by
| Miss Etta Taggart, president. i

Magnuson Defends Army
Rank of John Boettiger
A rank of captain for John
Boettiger, President Roosevelt's son
in-law, is not too high, in the opin
ion of Representative Magnuson.
Democrat, of Washington.
Commenting on a statement by
Representative Lambertson. Repub
lican. of Kansas that Mr. Boettiger.
Seattle publisher, due to renort next
week at the University of Virginia
for military training, may soon be a
captain. Mr. Magnuson told re
porters he is well qualified for the
rank.
Mr. Boettiger's administrative
ability, his age and his experience
probably entitled him to a higher
rank, Mr. Magnuson said. He added
that the publisher had "leaned over
backwards” in accepting a captaincy
and that he "could take Lambertson
down to the Pentagon Building and
show him any number of lieutenant
colonels and other high ranking of
ficers whose qualifications are not
nearly so valuable to the Army as
Boettiger's.”
"If Boettiger were anybody other
than the President's son-in-law."
he concluded, "he probably would
have been given a higher rank
commensurate with these qualifica
tions.”
Mr. Boettiger, 43, served in the
Navy in the World War and has
been publisher of the Seattle Post
Intelligencer since 1936.
