NEW VOTERS TAKE
 OATES NOVEMBER 2
Registration Board Swears in All Who Became 2l
 Since Last Session

The board of registration will be in special session at the town clerks office in the city hall from l2 noon to 2 p. m. Monday to swear in as new voters those who became 2l since the last regular session for the making of electors ended sev- eral weeks ago. Town Clerk Mary 0. Kilmartin will preside.
 Under the statutes, those who pe- come 21 between the end of regular registration and election day can be sworn in the day before election. Usually the number of such appn- cants appearing is small.
 Voters whose changes of address have not been reported to the regis trars and who do not remain on the voting lists at their old addresses, will not be able to cast ballots Tues day, Registrar of Voters Albert O. Taller warned today. Under a 194l act of the General Assembly, he said. voters must list a change Of address at least IT days before an election.
 This means that voters who were found by canvassers to have moved and who have not filed their new addresses will not be able to take part in the election. Tn the past the courts have allowed them tc vote, but MT. Taller contends that 1 the new act outlaws this procedure
 For several years, each election day has seen a procession of voters who had been refused permission to vote, to the court house to se' cure orders directing the moderators to let them cast ballots. MT. Taller says that this will not be the case this year,

K. A. N. Anderson are moving
fast into Tunisia and are ex-
pected to capture the vital naval
base at Bizerte before the end
of the week. The Nazis have
rushed across the Mediterranean
in transport planes some 5000
men who, in addition to the
1000 already in Tunisia, form
stable force.
II the French troops in Tunisia
had not been ordered by Admiral
Darlan to side with the Allies
and fight the common enemy,
there is no question that our
task in Tunisia would have been
much more difficult. Further
more, according to available re-
ports, native Algerian, Moroccan
and French Foreign Legions units
all commanded by French Of
f1cers-are fighting the Nazis on
the side of the Americans and
British.
Motives Immaterial.
These forces obey only their
officers who in turn obey the local
supreme command. Had not
Darlan, in spite of his anti-Brit-
ish feelings, ordered his men to
cease their opposition to the
Americans, the French force,
poorly equipped as 1t is, would
nevertheless have been fighting
for the enemy.
The fact that we entered
Africa after very light fighting
has been received with a deep
sigh of relief throughout the
country. 1t can be said now,
however, that neither Admiral
William Leahy, President Roose-
velt's chief OF staff, nor Gen.
George c. Marshall, Army chief
of staff, nor Admiral Ernest j.
King, commander in chief of
the Navy, slept much during the

flee, is Immediately associated
with the personality of Arch
duke Otto Won Hapsburg. The
New York Times, which an
nounced the project in its Friday
issue, associated together in the
same dispatch the announce
ment from Mr.. Stimson's Office
and a simultaneous" announce
ment that a military committee
to Cooperate in recruiting the
membership of the battalion"
had been set up under the presi-
dency of Archduke Otto of Haps-
burg.
Now the question may well be
raised, why should a young man,
whose father before him was de-
throned, who lived in exile dur
ing the whole life of the Austrian
republic and whose family has
steadfastly worked for the resto-
ration of the Austro- Hungarian
empire, be recruiting for the
United States Army among
American citizens? He is, him.

but a pretender to throne lost

also as a result Of the success of
Woodrow Wilson's American pol

monarchy, Czechs, sYugoslavs and
Poles.
Imperial Austria.
The statement emanating from
Archduke Ottos military COM
mittee obviously claims as "Au-
strians" Czechs, Hungarians,
Yugoslavs and other peoples.
Now, in the whole Of Austria,
as constituted after the last war,
with the succession states re-
moved, there are only 100000
people; II there are 100000
Americans Of Austrian" descent,
they are the children of Imperial
Austria. And such a claim, If not
Immediately denied by our au-
thorities, must awaken the
greatest confusion and distrust
among all the central European
nations, as the Darlan affair has
produced the utmost confusion
among the French people.
The State Department denies
that 1t has anything whatever to
do with this action of the War
Department.. The War Depart
ment claims that 1t is purely a
military measure and has no
political implications. But deny
ing political Implications does
not remove them.
There are speculations-raised
by the Archduke himself - on

ton of the pending bill he pro-
claimed that the Nation stood
"aghast" and "enraged" at the tao
tics of a small bloc Of Senators"
who had been conducting the flli-
buster which ended Friday. OF
course, the Nation did nothing OF
the kind. Actually, there was ex-
tremely little national interest In
the poll tax flght-not nearly as
much as there should have been.
The real question raised by the
bill, now killed for this session, was
whether the Federal Government
shall abrogate the right, basic in
our system, OF each State to deter
mine the qualifications Of Its own
voters. If the Federal Government
acquires that right 1t would be,
as Mr.. Mark Sullivan pointed out,
not only q fundamental distortion
of the American governmental sys-
tenn, but it would set in motion a
process which ultimately would
mean the extinction of the States
as units of government. 1t would
do more than that-it would so
enhance the Federal power over
the individual citizen that freedom

Filibuster justified.
Ordinarily, filibusters are not to
be defended, but in the case Of so
vital a question as this, certainly
one can justify filibuster at least
long enough to give opportunity for
the people to understand what
really is at stake. 1t Is true, of
course, that the primary purpose Of
the poll tax In the eight Southern
States where 1t is in force is to
discourage Negroes from voting and
that the chief factors behind the
present bill are the politically power
full Negro leaders who constitute the
Washington Negro lobby.
Prior to 1888 the Negro vote was
almost solidly Republican, and DEM
ocratic support for the anti-poll tax
fight was almost nonresident. In
1894 the New Deal, largely through
the WPA and Federal patronage
distribution, swung the bulk of this
vote over to its side. In the recent
election fair proportion-notably
in New York-swung back. There is
now keen competition among the
politicians for this vote,
Thus, the practical politics In

The Great Game Of Politics
Murroy's outburst on Poll Tex Repeal Bill
Gouoed as Move to Enhance CIO Power

obscured the deep constitutional
question. Preoccupied with the vast
drama Of a global war, the people
as a whole, far from being "aghast
and enraged," were Indifferent and
uncomprehending. which is too bad.
If they were more understanding
they would feel that this, above all
others, is matter with which the
States should deal and Congress let
alone. In this connection, it is in
teresting that Tennessee-one of the
eight-is about to repeal its poll
tax, through its own State Legisla-
ture and Of its own volition, which
is the sound American way.
Murray's Aim In Fight.
Mr.. Murray, Of course, injected
himself into this fight because of
the idea that repeal of the poll tax
would enhance CLIO political power.
Perhaps it would, but if that reason
did not exist he would still have
issued a statement. Few controver-
sial matters can escape a statement
from Mr.. Murray. He covers not
only the fields Of foreign policy,
labor and politics but of economics
as well. While the tax bill was pend
ing statement followed statement,
and the $25 900 limitation on sal
aries naturally evoked from him
warm commentator. Since that
order went into effect. however,
there has been considerable diminu-
ton in the enthusiasm of its advo-
Gates. One reason Is that 1t is now
pretty clear that the scheme is
"phony."
Another is that the more its his
tory is traced the less lovely 1t
looks. Until recently, it was as
sumed that it had originated in a
resolution Of the 1910 CLIO automo-
bile workers convention, and that
then Mrs. Roosevelt took it up and
sold it to the President. Now, it
seems, it goes much farther back
than that. Now, 1t is revealed that
1t originally appeared in the 1928
national platform Of the Communist
party, which nominated William c.
Foster for President and Benjamin
Gitlow for Vice President. That was
one Of the chief Communist party
planks Of that campaign. The Com
munist ticket Of that year polled
total Of only 23,361 votes One
scarcely could foresee that IA years
later this Communist proposal, after
twice being turned dawn by Con-
gress, would be given the force OF
law by Executive order Of a Demo-
cratic President elected in 1882. Nor
is this the only plank Of the 1928
Communist platform which has now
become q part Of the New Deal
structure. The 40-hour, five-day
week Is another.
