Senate Again Refuses
To Vote Custer Of
Three as Subversive
Urgent Deficiency Bill.
Carrying SoIory Funds,
Returned to Conferees
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

For the third time the Senate
today refused to accept House
action seeking to take three en-
ployes off the Government pay
roll-Robert Morss Lovett, Gov
ernment secretary of the Virgin
Islands; Goodwin B. Watson and
William E. Dodd, jr., employees of
the Federal Communications
Commission.
This time the Senate rejected.
43 to, 81, the compromise proposed
by conferees under which the three
men would have remained on the
payroll until November Is, when
their pay would stop unless the
President submitted the names to
the Senate for confirmation in the
meantime.
This throws back into conference
again the urgent deficiency bill, car
rying $143, 100000, most of which is
for salaries now due thousands of
Federal and District employees.
Issue Returned to House.
The original House ban would
have stopped the pay of the three
men Immediately. 1t was based on
the claim of the Kerr Committee of
the House that the men had been
identified with Subversive move
ments.
The Senate previously had de-
feated the original ban. SO to 0,
and later, 81 to II. The vote on
today's compromised was closer but
puts the issue up to the House again.
Majority Leader Barley, who was
absent during the earlier debates,
called the House ban "A tyrannical
method" of seeking to remove men
from Office. and said it "outrages all
principles of fair play"
Mead Regrets Delay.
Senator Mead. Democrat, of New
York, said he regretted the delay
in paying the thousands of en-
ployes whose salaries are being tied
up by the fight. but declared the
principle involved in the House pro-
posal is deeper than the question of
removing three men from the pay
roll. Free speech, he said, is not
dead yet.
Senator McKellar, Democrat, of
Tennessee, in charge of the bill, re-
peated his belief that this is not
the way to dismiss employees, but
said the Senate had to decide
whether to leave hundreds of thou

courts opinion said in part.
I'VE think the conclusion ines
capable that the jury would under
stand that one or more defendants
could be convicted for the act of
another.
The Government also argues
that this instruction was proper on
the theory that the defendants were
acting in concert for the accomplish

reasonable plot. No such situation,

Japs Blasted at Kisk;
And in So|omons in
New Air Attacks
6 Enemy Ships Sunk.
5 Others Damaged
By American Subs

American planes damaged
japanese installations at Kiska
in the Aleutian Islands and Re-
kata Bay and Munda in the
South Pacific, and bombed a
small japanese naval DISPOSE
ton in the Central Solomons," F."
the Navy announced today.
Kiska was bombed in six raids on
Sunday by Navy Ventura, Army
Mitchell medium bombers and Liber-
ator heavy bombers. Hits were
scored on the main camp and at
the North Head area. The following
day Army MitchellS and Navy Ven
turas attacked the enemy positions
at Kiska and Little Kiska, the lat
ter a small island off the east coast
of Kiska Island Weather condi-
tions prevented complete observa-
ton of results.
The Aleutians attacks early this
week indicated general stepping
up of the American efforts to retake
the second of the two islands in the
Aleutians which were held by the
Japs. Today's raids bring to total
of % the number which have been
carried out since last Thursday and
Weather conditions held up the
bombing attacks early in the month,
according to the Navy spokesmen.
Smoke and Dust Obscure Results.
In the South Pacific early Monday
evening a formation of Dauntless
dive bombers and Avenger torpedo
bombers escorted by Wildcat fighters
attacked the Jap installations at
Rekata Bay on Santa Isabel Island
Observation of results was difficult
because of smoke and dust.
On the same evening Dauntless
and Avenger bombers escorted by
Wildcat fighters attacked the Jap
air base at Munda on New Georgia
Island, starting a number of fires.
The Japanese naval disposition
was attacked in the Central Solo,
mons on Monday night. Results
were not observed. Naval spokes-
men described a naval disposition"
as hotilla of small craft similar in
character to the American PIT boats
All United States planes returned
from all of these missions in both
the North and South Pacific.
Subs Attack IL Jap Vessels.
The Navy yesterday announced
sinking by American submarines of
six japanese supply craft, damaging
of three others and sending OF a
destroyer and mine layer to the bot
tom during battle cruises in the
Pacific and Far East" These sink
ings brought the totals for Pacific
submarine action to 269 japanese
vessels-190 sunk, 20 probably sunk
and so damaged.
Some of the cargo, transport and
supply vessels bagged by American
submarines could have been trying
to reinforce or supply Kiska.
The Navy, however, merely gave
this report on submarine action:
Sunk-a destroyer. mine layer,
large transport, three medium
sized cargo vessels, a small cargo
vessel and small schooner.
Damaged-one large transport and
two medium sized cargo vessels.
The destroyer presumably was en-
gagged and sunk while conveying
cargo or transport vessels and the
mine layer while endeavoring to
build a screen of mines to halt the
American submarine forays which
have reached the shoreline of Japan.

Claims Italian
Fleet Did Not
Surrender

LONDON, Sept "a - (P) -
A statement by Colonial Secre-
tary Viscount Cranborne that
the Italian fleet did not surren-
der but moved TO designated
points under the terms of the
armistice' aroused speculation
today as TO the probable next
moves Of the former enemy YES
sells.
On that score, the Secretary
told the House of Lords in his
statement yesterday that The
future of the fleet is under con-
sideration.
Although no official amplifi-
cation of the remark was forth
coming, the suggestion was ad
vanced that Cranborne' purpose
was 10 leave open the posslbil-
ity for Italian seamen TO man
the ships against the Germans
ra or than be held as war pris-
oners.
Cranborne' assertion caused
surprise since the Admiralty had

ranean naval commander in
chief, ION the occasion of the
surrender of the Italian battle
fleet their Lordships send
their Warmest congratulations. y

The company attributed the

The drastic decline in tele-

Stimson, Knox Asked TO Express
Views on Pending Program

on a pending plan TO permit
overseas service men and women
TO use a simplified V-mIil bal

AS soon as the Stimson and

Green said he would open hear
ings on the proposal, which he
sponsored with Senator Lucas
(D-IlD.
Chairman Worley (D-Tex). of
the House committee on cleo
tons, also announced plans TO
open hearings on similar legis-
lation we'll in advance OF the
first primaries next March.

the globe, Senator Hatch Cd
NM) said he thought congress
ional members Of both parties
ARE agreed that we must do
everything possible TO let eve
ry eligible service man vote.
Principal provisions of the
pending legislation are:
An overseas var ballot, ="
printed on paper suitable for
V-mail processing, for voting for
president and members of con-
greSs. The war and navy de-
partments would print, distri-
butte and assemble the ballots
with commanding officers Of all
service units responsible for see
ing that any eligible service man
or woman obtained one An
oath Of eligibility would be the
only legal requirement, with poll
taxes and state regi tration laws
waved. Wherever possible. vot-
ing for state and local officers
would be permitted.
NOT LISTED
Names of candidates would
not be printed on the ballot. but
the voter would write in his
choice for each office from print
ed candidate lists supplied
through the Army and Navy.
Polling places would be set up
in all camps, aboard ship, or
wherever men and women in
uniform are stationed.
The N-mail ballots would be
returned n the secretaries Of
state in each state, for relay
ing 70 the election officials in
the service mans home pre-
cinct. Ballots reaching the home
district within two weeks after
election day would be counted
This procedure would apply
only in the general election Of
November, 1914. To vote in a
state primary. an overseas serv-
ice man would be required TO
apply 10 his secretary Of state
for an official absentee ballot.
Similarly. service men n d
women stationed within the con-
tnental United States would be
required TO apply in advance for
absentee ballots. but the legis-
lation would provide for a spe-
cial post card application form
for the sake of simplicity.
