the news that definite headlines

Italy to make up its mind as to
whether or not she would enter

Sources here stated that Italy
had been given until May is to

Nazi press dispatches today
bore down on Allied pressure be-

Accusations were hurled at Brit

lease of information that the Al
lied armies in that section had
been given orders to stand ready
for action, expected to come on
May 10th.
Many rumors fly through the

by both sides. One heard here
today was that the English had
promised Rumania slices of Bull

the Allies in the coming expect

In QUANDARY
ABOUT POLLS
CITIZEN AND SHERIFF'S Of
OFFICES RECEIVED MANY
PHONE CALLS ASKING
WHERE TO VOTE

Much confusion existed in the
city this morning as registered
voters made inquiries as to their
polling places.
The situation arose when
voters realized that the districts
had been rebounded by the
County Commissioners since the
last election and that, in some
cases. the polling places were
not the same. In that no need
existed for registered voters to
re-register this year, many were
undecided as to where to vote to-
day.
The Citizen received several
calls this morning from voters
seeking information on where to
vote. Likewise, the sheriffs Of
flee, which advertised last week
end and yesterday. that all such
inquiries would be answered via
the phone, was Swamped with
calls all morning long.
Two phone operators in the
sheriffs office were kept busy
answering the phone and in re-
ferring to lists of qualified voters
and plats of the city precincts to
give correct information.
Many voters in the city ex-
pressed regret last week that the
commissioners did not see fit to
authorize publishing of the quail
fled list this year. It was gen.
orally agreed, that, in view of
the redistricting. the public
should have been furnished with
ready and accurate information
as to correct polling places and
precincts which the publishing of
the qualified lists furnishes.

For instance, when New York's

operation in the spring of last
year, two healthy-sized vans
were required to carry the equip
