Expected
In Democrats Drive
For Service Vote
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
The administration believes that
the Democrats will get 10 per cent
of the service vote in the 1914 elec-
ton. and 50 plans determined drive
In Congress next month for legisla-
ton to provide Federal supervision
Of the absentee balloting.
One high Democratic official said
samples Of sentiment had led the
party organization to think that the
service vote may be the determining
factor in the presidential race in
such pivotal States as New York,
Illinois and California. Republicans
disagree.
The Democrats are talking less OF
making the service vote controversy
a campaign issue rnd more Of at
tempting to get through some sort Of
compromise which will permit the
soldiers and sailors votes to be
counted.
Commission Plan Rejected.
The original Federal commission
setup was rejected by a coalition of
Republicans and Southern Demo-
Gratis In the Senate, which substi-
tuted State controls. The bill now
Is before the House.
A number of alternatives have
been suggested since. Senator O'Ma-
honey, Democrat, of wyoming sub
mitted the latest, a constitutional
amendment giving Congress power
to set the standards for handling
the service vote. Opponents of the
Federal commission idea had in
sisted that it was unconstitutional
to take over State prerogatives in
connection with election machinery
Senator O'Mahoney said he
thought the States could ratify the
amendment In time for next falls
voting.
Lucas Offers Compromise.
Senator Lucas. Democrat, of IL
linois, one OF the sponsors of the
original plan. has proposed another
compromise which would place su-
pervision of the distribution and
collection of the ballots in the hands
of a Federal commission, but the
States would determine finally who
is to count the ballots returned to
them.
Southern Democrats still want the
States to retain control over the
election machinery, however.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia told a reporter that If the
Senate-approved bill is voted by the
House he will ask the other Al
Senators who voted with him to kill
the administrations original bill to
join in a round robin addressed to
the Governors of all Of the States.
State Action Studied.
This round robin would call on the
Governors to summon special ses-
sions Of the Legislatures, where nec-
essary, to revise their laws to expe-
dite service voting.
Representative Rankin. Democrat,
Of Mississippi declared in state
ment:
THE agitation for the passage OF
a new bill, instead of the one that
has already passed the Senate is
simply initiating against our efforts
to permit the men and women in
our armed forces to vote at all.
1T Is sheer nonsense to talk about
introducing a new bill land getting it
passed through the Senate and the
House. within anything like rea-
sonable time. 1t would meet the
same opposition in the Senate as
did the original Green-Lucas bill
and would undoubtedly be debated
indefinitely"

Berlin Commentators
Fear New Invasion Of
Europe This Week
By the Associated Press.

~ tne ASeOClaLed PreSe.
STOCKHOLM, Dec. 27.- Some
Berlin military commentators. still
guessing nervously at the zero hour
for the Allied invasion OF Western
Europe, said today they believed the
blow might fall this week, even be-
fore the turn OF the new year.
Dispatches to neutral Sweden
from the German capital said this
talk in Nazi military circles was
based on the relentless aerial ham
mering that German fortifications
along the Channel coast have been
receiving.
The dispatches quoted these Nazi
military commentators as claiming
that Germany is fully prepared for
new operations. but Germany's loss
OF the battleship Scharnhorst in an
engagement with the British home
fleet was viewed here as a severe
blow at the Nazi defense Gordon.
There has been no ofacial COM
ment from Berlin on the appoint
ment Of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
as commander Of the Allied invasion
armies or the designation Of Gen.
Sir Bernard L. Montgomery as COM
mander Of British invasion troops.
1t was recalled. however, that dur
ing the Sicilian campaign the Ger
mans credited Gen. Eisenhower and
Gen. Montgomery as being the AL
lies two best leaders. They once said
Gen. Eisenhower never launched an
attack unless he was 90 per cent
sure of success.
For Berliners, the fifth Christmas
of the war was the worst in history
Many spent the day cleaning up
after Fridays heavy raid
A Swedish correspondent who
toured parts Of the devastated city
on Christmas Day said he saw only
four or five children at play, a fur
ther indication that children have
been evacuated from the capital by
the thousands.

State Locals Donate Much In Free Music.
Conference Of Musicians Elects Officers Discusses
 Problems In Torrington

Connecticut Musicians have do- mated an equivalent of $5OO,OOO worth of free music in answer to re- quests since the beginning of the war, Harry L. Benson secretary treasurer of the State Conference of Musicians told The Union Times to- day.
 Benson, who is recording secretary of Local 234, New Haven Musicians, was reelected for his second term at the recent meeting of the Conference Tn Iorrlngton. Cosimo Venditti of Lo- cal l8o, Waterbury, and Joseph Man cini, 514 Torrington, were elected president and vice-president, respec- lively.
 Leo Cluesmann, secretary of the American Federation of Musicians, was the principal speaker at the meet ing. He told the delegates that mem bers of the A.F.M. have donated mil lions of dollars worth of free music Tn benefit performances since our en- try III the war. Cluesmann stated that the recent recording controversy proved the solidarity of the A.F.M.
 The Conference unanimously en- dorsed the administration of Pres. James C. PetrillO of the Federation, specifically commenting him on his successful handling of the record making controversy.
 Two chief topics of discussion at the meeting in Torrington were the effects of the gasoline situation on the work of the musicians and the in- numerable requests for free perform ances. New Haven was selected as the meeting place for the October Con- ference.

 Clause Given
 ToLocal5Sl,
New England Board An nounces Its Policy On
 Responsibility"

The New England War Labor Board has ordered the adoption of a Standard" maintenance of member ship clause to be included in the con- tract between the Atwood Machine Co.,, Stonington, and Local 581, LAM. according to Chairman Saul Waller of the Regional Board.
 This clause adopted as standard by the New England Region Board reads as follows:
 ''All employees who, Is days af- ter the date of the Regional War Labor Board, Region l, directive order in this matter, are members in good standing in accordance with the constitution and bylaws of the union, and all employees who there after become members, shall, as a condition of employment, remain members of the union in good standing for the duration of this contract"
 Wallen stated that the W.L.B.'s adoption of this clause does not imply that 1t will be granted III all labor disputes settled by the Board.
 ''The New England War Labor Board, through its maintenance of membership clause and its recogni- ton of existing union or closed shops, seeks to guarantee unions some measure of security at a time when they must devote their full energies, not to building up their strength, but to building up the strength of the nation in a total war of survival" Chairman Wallen declared.
 He called attention, however, to the fact that the National VILE. has re- fused to grant maintenance of mem- bership to unions which have proved themselves irresponsible by breaking labor'S pledge not to strike during the war.
 During the past few weeks the Board has ordered this clause included in contracts between Local 45o, United Clock Workers, and the New Haver Clock O., and number of other con. tracts between unions and firms ir New England.
