Soldier Vote
Bill Opposed
Measure for
Absentee Citizens
By JACK BELL

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-(P)
Democratic opposition devel-
oped in the Senate today TO the
Green-Lucas bill to facilitate alb
sentee voting by members of the
armed forces in next years gen
ersl election.
Republicans met in one of
their rare party caucuses to seek
agreement on a series of amend
ments they contend are needed
to protect minority party rights
in the proposed balloting. Mean
while Senator Connally Cd
Tex a direct challenge
of the constitutionality of the
whole proposed plan.
Connally told this reporter he
regards the bill as an attempted
Federal invasion of states rights
TO fix the qualifications of vot-
ers-a view known 10 be shared
by several of his Southern Demo
cratic colleagues.
CITES VIOLATION
in its present form, the bill
is clearly violative of the Con-
stitution," Connally declared.
Moreover. il is so unavoidable
that only small percentage of
soldiers would ever vote under
its terms"
AS approved by the elections
committee, the measure would
authorize President Roosevelt
to appoint two Democrats and
two Republicans to the War
Ballot Commission with broad
powers TO conduct absentee vot-
ing among members of the Arm
ed forces at home and abroad. II
a deadlock developed, the Chief
Justice would name an associate
justice OF the Supreme Court or
a circuit court Of appeals judge
as an umpire.
The measure, applying only
10 the general election for Presi-
dent, Senate and House of Re-
representatives.. would eliminate
all qualifications for voters ex-
cept that OF residence and age.
Many Senators felt this provi-
sion unconstitutional.
JOCKEY OVER COMMISSION
The Republicans, however,
were more interested in making
certain that real Republicans"
are named 10 the ballot commits
sion and thus were studying an
amendment which would require
the President 10 make appoint
nents from lists of eligibles
furnished by the national party
organizations. They may spon-
sor, also, an amendment elimin-
ating the proposed umpire en-
tirely, virtually forcing the
commission TO agree unanimous
ly on all actions it takes.
All this seemed likely TO
lengthen the debate the Senate
starts today on the measure.
House action has been delayed
10 await the Senate verdict, but
indications are that the War Bal
lot Commission proposal may be
thrown out entirely there and a
simple resolution substituted
which would call on the states 10
make absentee balloting privi-
leges available to members of
the armed forces under their
own laws.

The CT in Britain is good
