Paul Revere
RideAgain
WASHINGTON-(A)-Paul Re-
vere rode again yesterday - 175
years after his famous the "Brit-
ish-are-coming" gallop.
Only this time there was no
wild dash through the Middlesex
farms. A fellow making like Paul
rode down Washington's busy F
Street. In front of him went a
police car, behind him came an-
other.
THE WHOLE shebang moved at
a leisurely walk.
And while he was riding,
ladies along the sidewalk passed
out pamphlets entitled:
"Paul Revere rides, again with
a ballot for citizens of Washing-
ton, D.C."
* * *
HERE WAS the idea:
Almost a million people now
live in Washington. Yet citizens
here can't so much as elect their
own dogcatcher. The President
names the commissioners who
run the city. Congress passes its
laws.
Now the Central Suffrage Com-
mittee is trying to drum up in-
terest in a bill introduced by Sen.
Kefauver (D-Tenn.). This bill has
passed the Senate and is now in
the House District Committee. It
would set up a council-city man-
ager plan of government for
Washington, and would give citi-
zens the right to run their own
affairs. But they still wouldn't be
able to vote in national elections
nor would they have representa-
tives in Congress.
THE BALLOT passed out while
Paul rode asked such questions as:
"Do you believe in the demo-
cratic form of government-that
is, 'government of the people,
for the people, by the people'?"
"Do you believe in the prin-
ciple of 'no taxation without
representation'?"
People were urged to fill in the
ballots and mail them to head-
quarters. Nobody seemed much ex-
cited. Many threw them away
without bothering to read them.

ON ONE LIKE THIS-Max Shulman, popular satirical author, shows Daily staffers a battered
typewriter in the Student Publications Building just like the one which he used to write the book
that made him famous. Shulman wrote "Barefoot Boy With Cheek," a burlesque on college life, after
spending six years at the University of Minnesota. He stopped in Ann Arbor yesterday on a three-
week tour of universities and colleges to publicize his new book.
