Soldier Vote
Fight

Washington, Nov. Tins A
heated behind-the-scenes political
fight has broken out in Congress
over what methods will be employ
ed IN allowing men in the armed
services 10 vote by absentee bal
lot in the 1914 presidential cleo
ton.
The controversy has reached
such a Ioint that a scheduled meet
ing Of the House Committee on
Presidential Elections was called
of today and further consideration
OF pending bills was postponed for
a week in an attempt to work out
a compromise.
The committee Is headed by Rep.
Gene Worley ID Tex, who served
In the South Pacific with the Navy
last year and who contends that
nothing would be more stimulating
to soldier morale than the chance
for every person in the armed
services to vote"
Although all 10 members OF the
committee-sight Democrats and
five Republicans-claim the same
interest as Worley. It Is his bill
which is under heavy fire. Provid-
ing for a uniform federal" ballot
and the establishment OF a four
member commission TO supervise
soldier voting, the measure is a
companion to a bill already ap-
proved by a Senate committee un-
der the sponsorship Of Sens. Green
D) r. l., and Lucas Cd i'll.
The House committee voted yes.
terday to LAY aside" Worley's
measure and to consider a resolu-
ton sponsored by Rep. Rankin
Cd Miss. which would direct the
Army and Navy to cooperate in
the distribution Of absentee ballots
provided under state laws, and
would memorable state legislatures
to pass any necessary laws.
Rankin contends the Constitu-
ton prohibits federal ballot and
it would be in conflict with mum
erous state laws.

Allied War Conference Needed

London, Nov. 17-UP-Diploma-
tic sources were hopeful today that
President Roosevelt, Prime Minis
ter Churchill and Premier Stain
will meet soon to detail decisive
battle plans for winter and spring
and to pr. are for what appears
to be an imminent crisis in the Bal
kans.
An Ankara broadcast heard by
the London Daily Mail said a con-
ference of the three would be held
in the near future. "Well-inform-
ed Allied circles" were given as the
source Of the report.
Both Mr.. Roosevelt and Churchill
have reiterated in recent weeks
their desire to meet with Stain to
further the coordination of Allied
strategy begun at the Moscow con-
ference of foreign ministers, and
the quickening situation in the
Balkans and on the eastern front
posed a favorable background for
the new meeting.
Observers who make Il their
business to follow closely Axis
Europe regard sudden political
crisis in the eastern Balkans in the
six weeks before New Years Day
as a distinct possibility
One diplomat in touch with in
telligence reports from a dozeG
occupied or satellite capitals fore
cast that Adolf Hitler already fac
ed a choice OF abandoning the
Balkans or committing one qua--
ter Of his armies to defend Ru-
mania-which would be lost
cause, any ray, in the long run.
The virtual certainty that the
Germans will have been expelled
from all southern Russia by the
end CT winter. If not before, is
the greatest factor in the approach
ing crisis, but the American raid
on Sofia and its promise Of in
creasing attacks on the Balkans
also probably will prove an import
ant influence.
Reports reaching London from
Europe say that the Rumanians
again are sounding out. through
third parties, the possibility of
separate peace. Probably in con
nection with these reports, Ru-
manian PREF lier Ion Antonescu is
visiting Hitler's headquarters.

is confident that all our people will
be generous in their support of the
1943 War Fund"
More than 65 percent of the fund
received by the national organiza.
tion will be devoted to meeting Red
Cross responsibilities to the armed
forces. These include the Red Cross
overseas club program, recreation
and hospital program, the station
ing Of field directors at all foreign
and domestic military camps and
bases. the huge surgical dressing
production program, and the blood
plasma project which recently was
expanded to a total of 100000
pints at the request of the Army
and Navy.
Chairman Davis pointed out that
the 1943 program will be vastly
greater than the accomplishments
of last year. in which the Red
Cross aided millions of war victims
through its foreign war relief pro-
gram; gave aid to thousands of
prisoners of war; collected 1,500..
900 pints of blood for the armed
forces; produced 52O,O00,000 sur.
gical dressings, and aided more
than 100000 servicemen and their
families.
The $125,O00,000 quota, he said,
will finance the local, national and
international work of the Red Cross
for the entire year, barring unfore'
seen emergencies.
