Three Hurdles Bar
Senate Decision on
Servicemen's S Vote
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

Three hurdles still stood In the
path Of the Green-Lucas service
mems vote bill in the Senate today,
first Of which is a move by South
ern Democrats to replace it with a
substitute to leave soldier voting
regulations to the States.
The other major changes await
Ing action are: The Danaher
amendment to let the serviceman's
vote be cast by proxy in his
home community and the Taft pro-
posal to supervise all political liter
ature sent to troops in the field.
Senator Eastland, Democrat, of
Mississippi. co-author of the State
control substitute, predicted today
there would be at least Is Demo-
cratic votes for the substitute, which
means that the Republicans hold its
fate in their hands.
Provides Proxy Vote.
The Republicans are more likely
to center their support on the alter
native plan Of Senator Danaher, Re-
publican, Of Connecticut, which re-
tains Federal machinery to make 1t
easier for servicemen to vote, but re-
quires the vote to be cast by desig-
mated relative or friend at home,
instead Of being mailed directly from
the camp or fighting front. The
proxy votes would be cast in accord
ance with instructions sent home by
the servicemen, on special forms.
Senator Lucas, Democrat, of H.
inois, co-author Of the original BILL
centered his attack on the Danaher
plan today.
Even to suggest that the Amer
lean people would approve this plan
is reflection on their intelligence,
he said. Il am quite confident that
no State election official would be
misled into thinking that such an
unheard-of procedure was even a
gesture toward recognition of State
policy"
Seamen Included.
After sharp verbal battle, Re-
publicans succeeded yesterday in
writing into the bill a requirement
that the President select the four
members of the War Ballot Com
mission from lists of names sub
mitted by the national committees
of the two major parties.

Halifax Says Allies
Wont Be Trapped
In Peace Compromise
By the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.-The
United Nations shall not fall into
the trap Of a compromise peace"
with Germany, British Ambassador
Lord Halifax declared here last
night as rumors Of possible German
peace feelers poured out OF neutral
capitals.
The Ambassador, speaking before
the st. Andrews Society, said events
Of the past few weeks have given
cold comfort" to the Nazis' hopes
for break among the Allies, and
added, 1T may we'll be that they
may have some more cold comfort

II the German leaders can coerce
them" Recently the Ambassado
started = wave Of speculation that
the war might end suddenly when
he said anything can happen In
Germany"
Nazis Have Three Hopes.
The Ambassador told the society
that three hopes sustain the Ger
man people in their desperate pre-
dicament:
l. War WEAKNESS after long, costly
battles might induce the Allies to
make negotiated peace.
2. They may tempt the Allied ma
tions to take too easy view Of the
situation and so relax Allied efforts.
3. The Germans may still think
they can drive a wedge into the
unified Allied front ~
Lord Halifax drew up a balance
sheet to illustrate his view that the
German war capacity is on the
down grade but the Nazis may still
put up tough fight.

Democrats joined the Republicans
to put the amendment in the bill,
40 to 80, reversing a tie vote that
beat the proposal Monday.
Senator Pepper, Democrat, of
Florida, led successful fight to keep
merchant seamen in the bill. SEN
ator Brooks, Republican, of Illinois
moved to eliminate merchant sea-
men and civilian Government en-
ployes overseas, contending the SIM
plified voting process should be
confined to members of the armed
forces. Senator Pepper moved to
divide the queso Jon. On roll call
of 40 to 35, the merchant seamen
were retained, but the civilian en-
ployes eliminated.
