Service Ballot Bill
May Cancel House
Recess Abruptly
Southern Representatives,
Prepare to Fight Senote
Elimination of Poll Tax
By TIE Associated Press.

| By TIE Associated Press
The month-old informal House
recess appeared today to be
headed for an abrupt end as
irate Southern members leveled
their guns at Senate revisionS
in a bill to permit men and
women in the armed forces to
vote by mail.
Their principal objection, they
said, was to the Senate amendment
exempting service members from
payment of the poll taxes required
by Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, Texas, Virginia, South
Carolina and Arkansas. The Senate
adopted the amendment by a vote
of 33 to 20 over the opposition of
Southerners who termed it an in
vasion OF States rights to determine
the qualifications of their voters.
The House previously rejected a
similar proviso. The Senate passed
the bill itself by vote of Al to S.
The Senate also wrote in an
amendment extending the vote by
mail privilege to primary as we'll as
general elections involving Rep
resentatives, Senators and presiden-
tlal electors. While the House version
did not contain the primary provi-
sion, there was no pronounced op-
position to it.
Sponsor Fells Confident.
Representative Ramsay Democrat.
OF West Virginia, sponsor of the bill

said he felt certain the House would
accept the Senate version if a full
attendance were present.
Other supporters, however, pointed
to the possibility that dilatory tactics
by the opposition might make the
legislation virtually imperative for
this years elections.
Chairman SABBATH OF the House
Rules Committee expressed the view
quorum call at Thursdays session
would force an end to the recess if
the bill hackers insisted on getting
1t disposed Of before November.
AS revised, the bill permits any
member OF the armed services, in
Guiding women, in any part OF the
world, to vote without registering or
paying poll tax. 1t does not apply
to elections for State officials or
