tors at that time, compared to a total vote of nearly 30 million and that there probably were more than 100000 eligible voters in uniform at that time.
 The real problem comes in trying to work out means of get ting in the overseas vote without disrupting the war effort.
 4 number of bills already have been introduced in Congress, but it is considered probable on the Hill that the basis of the legisla- tion will be the Green-Lucas bill in the Senate and the Morley bill in the House.
 A feature of these bills is the proposal to use V-mail ballots.
 It is too early yet to make any definite predictions on just how the problem will be worked out, but the complications involved are interesting. In practically every state, for example, no more than 10 to 30 days are allowed between tue lll1G Ol bl AAlAA5 oA bAG BuAAul5 and election day. How to get those ballots to soldiers in Australia, New Zealand, India, Iceland and Kiska in that time looks like an insurmountable obstacle. It is ev- en more so in the case of ships at sea whose destinations and even locations are a military secret.
 To throw onto the Army and Navy the responsibility of dis tributing these ballots, collecting them and getting them back to his country for tabulation is a serious matter. The man hours in volved would run into millions. It's no particular secret that the Army and Navy want no part of the business and might even have opposed the voting by men on duty outside the country. However, it's rumored that President Roosevelt has passed the word along and the report on the pending legislation that the Army and Navy will make to the Senate privileges and elections committee any day now will be favorable.

BENTLEY NAMED BISHOP
 TO SUCCEED LATE
 BISHOP PETER T. ROWE

CLEVELAND The Right Rev erend John Boyd Bentley. suffra- gan bishop of Alaska. who has been serving as associate bishop since the death of Bishop Peter Trimble Rowe, was named to the bishopric of Alaska this week by the national Episcopal church convention.
 The convention decided to con tinue negotiations on the ques- tion of uniting with the Presby- terian church.
 The new bishop lives at Nena- na, Alaska. Born at Hampton, Virginia, February g, 1896, he was graduated from Virginia Theolog- ical Seminay in 1921, won his D. D. degree there in 1889 and at tended William and Mary in 1881. He is a member of Phi Beta Rap pa, national honor fraternity.
 Ordained as a deacon in 1922 by Bishop Rowe, he won the rank of priest in 1929 and became con- secrated bishop in 1881. His first Alaskan church was at Anyik from 1921 to 1925. He was arch deacon of tthe Yukon from 1880 to 1881

FIRST RETURNS ON WITHHOLDING TAX
 DUE IN OCTOBER

TACOMA-First returns on the withholding of income tax are due in October from approximately 35,- 900 employers in the district of Washington and Alaska, and any unjustified delinquency will result in penalties of not less than $1O regardless of the amount of tax in- volved, Internal Revenue Collector Clark Squire pointed out
 Amounts withheld during July, and September must be in- cluded in this first report under the withholding provisions of the new tax law. Form WI is to be used.
 These forms are being mailed to employers, but failure to receive one is not accepted as reasonable excuse for delinquency.
 For failure to file a return within the time prescribed by law. there is a delinquency penalty of per cent for the first 30 days or less, with Der cent more for each additional 30 days or fraction thereof, not to exceed a total of 25 per cent. The minimum penalty is $1O, even though the tax may amount to but a couple of dollars
 If the tax is not paid when due, interest at the rate of per cent per annum must be added. This minimum penalty likewise is $1O. regardless of how little the inter- est may be.
 Employers who may be delin- quent both as to filing a return and making payment will face a

 Headache For Congress
 One of the sweetest little head aches in the congressional offing is, strangely enough, a non-parti- san matter on which almost all members of both chambers are in perfect agreement.
 It is the proposition of getting in the sOldier-sailor vote. If there is anyone who is in favor of deny ing the constitutional right of the men in the armed forces to cast their ballots. he hasn't even whis- pered it around Capitol Hill. The headache arises out of how to get that vote in.
 By the time of the national el- eetions in November next year. four or five million men may be scattered over the whole globe Another three or four million will be in training camps, in most cases, outside their own states.
 Even considering the number of these under 21, the five or six mil ion who could and would vote comprise easily the most i'm portant body of balloteers that the get out the vote advocates ever have had to deal with. National elections have been won many times by far smaller majorities and it is likely the service vote could be the determining factors in hun dreds of congressional and many state contests.
 Overseas Vote a Problem
 Except for the setting-up of bal lot distribution machinery in the many camps and training stations, getting in the soldier vote within he United States presents no par ttcular problem. The principle of absentee balloting has been in practice for years and the blue print already exists. It was, how ever, a pretty flat fizzle in 1942. The census bureau estimated that only about 28,OOO service men vot- ed for representatives and sena-

 One of the more tiresome storms in the congressional teacup is the continued complaint tthat here are a lot of government workers still at their desks who should be in the armed forces.
 The Iong-drawn harpings on the subject resulted recently in the Bailey-Clark bill in the Senate which would restrict the employ ment of any able-bodied males in the government here between the ages of IS and 38. One of the local columnists who devotes himself entirely to federal employe mat ters has issued a challenge to the senators or any one else to find him one government worker with in those ages who isn't 4-F, a father, or deferred as essential. The revision of the last named lists has been going on for a year or more and there could hardly be- many left who are not legitimate Iy essential.
 Oppose Bailey-Clark Bill
 Oddly enough, it's the Army and Navy that are most opposed to the Bailey-Clark bill. They are in the thrOes of trying to get their uni formed personnel here. capable Of combat duty, into the field. The number of civilians they will need to replace them in coming months may run into the thousands.
 There is no doubt that there were many abuses here early Of the deferment for essential duty clause but congressional criticism started cleaning that up long ago. In fact, congressional criticism drove out of the government good many men who really were essential and in some cases men who were ill-suited for military duty.
 One such case was that of Ed ward Prichard, the 3OO-odd pound assistant to Economic Stabilizer Yinson Being one of the N WI Deals bright young men" and a protege of Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, Prichard was. fair game for anti-New Deal Con- gressmen.
