Lucas, After Talking
With Roosevelt, Plans
New Soldier Vote Bill
BY the Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
Senator Lucas, Democrat, of Illi-
nois said after a talk with Presi-
dent Roosevelt yesterday that he will
Introduce compromise bill to IA
cilitate servicemens voting through
a Federal commission which would
merely distribute and collect the bal
lots for the States.
His announcement came after the
President said at his press confer
ence that every man and woman in
the armed services ought to have
an opportunity to vote in next years S
elections unless combat circum-
stances prevent. Mr. Roosevelt said
he believed Federal action would be
necessary to carry out such a policy
The new measure which Senator
Lucas will offer with Senator Green,
Democrat, of Rhode Island when
Congress reconvenes January 10 will
eliminate provisions of the Senate
rejected Lucas-Gfeen bill which
would have empowered a commits
sion to pass on the validity of soldier
ballots after their inspection by
State election officials
Would Prevent Fraud.
That doesn't mean of course that
the Federal Government can't pre-
vent fraud and the like" Senator
Lucas said
In rejecting the original bill, the
Senate approved substitute leav-
ing the entire matter up to the
States. A House committee is try
ing to work out compromise SIM
liar to that described by Senator
Lucas, although some Southern
Democrats are still urging States
rights bill
The Presidents S statement Is in
line with the principle of the new
bill I will offer" Senator Lucas said.
The waving of registration and
poll tax requirements as called for
by some States will be left in the
bill as under the 1912 law"
we would merely make the Fed
eral commission an instrument for
distributing the ballot he added.
Poll Tax Dispute Revived.
The Senate-approved bill, over
which Democratic members of the
chamber split. in effect simply asks
that the States arrange for members
of the armed services to vote by
absentee ballot.
Meanwhile. the controversy over
proposals to outlaw the poll tax as
prerequisite for voting for Federal
officers was revived yesterday in
sharply-cont1icting reports from the
Senate Judiciary Committee.
A majority report. submitted b.,
Chairman Van Nuys, Democrat. of
Indiana and Senator Mcfarland
Democrat, OF Arizona, declared that
a citizen denied the right to vote
because OF his inability to pay the
tax becomes an outcaSt." A
minority led by Senator Connally
Democrat. of Texas contended vot-
ing is not right but privilege
within control of the States. Eight
Southern States have such a poll
tax.
The majority report recommended
passage of a House-approved bill
outlawing the tax as necessity for
voting for Senators. Representa-
tives and presidential electors.

BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Feb. IL = MOI
MANY weeks ago, this column sug-
oested that wartime government
agencies use the Census Bureau
in assembling statistical Informal
tion on which to base the big
decisions that affect our daily lives.
1t would be presumptuous to say
that that had anything to do with
the o. p. A. decision TO place It's
nationwide sampling OF food con-
sumption, prices, shortages, etc, IN
the lap of the Census Bureau. 1t
is. however, so far as l know, the
first time that any war agency has
called on Census for anything more
than the now stale facts and figures
that grew out OF the 1910 enumer-
alton.
The Census Bureau is one OF the
most efficient agencies OF our gov
eminent. Once every ten years, 1t
counts lot more than noses. The
statistical data it gathers is the
springboard for much OF the gov
clnmental, cultural. medical, legis-
lative and business activities in the
country.

For a long tine, domestic poll
teal resentment has increased
against Chang Kai-shek because
his policy of U. S. friendship has
netted no real returns. Recently
rumors of these sentiments have
grown to an ominous rumble. The
powerful Governor of Yunnan Pro-
vince in the South is at odds with
Chang So is the Governor of
Szechwan. In the Northwest, the
leader of the Mohammedans is
grousing against Chiang's leader
ship.
They claim he is ruled by his
American" family. They are not
impressed with the fact that the
Soong sisters were graduated from
Wesleyan or Wellesley. They don't
care how popular the Soongs are
with the American public. They
only know that the Soongs have
failed to produce. The munitions
aren't flowing to China.
The Chinese don't realize the diff
ficulties of supplying two vital wal
fronts-Russia and Africa. They
also don't realize that Madame
Chang Kai-shek, confined to an
American hospital, has not been
able to see the President They only
know that China has fought nearly
six long years with little help in
sight. So they take it out on Chi
ang Kai-shek, his American-edu-
Gated wife and her sisters.
j NOTE: Some high-placed Chin
fese hint that if Chang Kai-shek
had left China for the Roosevelt
Churchill meeting, political rivals
would have moved into the Cen
eralissimo's palace before he got
back.
