Service Vote
Continued From First Page.

Mississippi. McKellar of Tennessee
and Mcclellan of Arkansas, Demo-
Gratis, but it cannot pass unless a
substantial number of Republicans
support it.
Two important changes the Re-
publcans have forced into the
Green-Lucas bill have improved the
chances of passing that measure
rather than StateS-right substi-
tute. One of these changes gives
the Republican and Democratic Ma
/ tional Committees a voice in. selec-
ton of the Federal War Ballot Com
mission. The other is the proposal
put through yesterday by Senator
Taft, Republican of Ohio, to prohibit
Government propagandizing
The first test today will come on
the plan of Senator Danaher, Re-
publican, of Connecticut, to retain
the principle of Federal supervision,
but requiring the servicemans vote
to be cast at home by a designated
relative or friend, on confidential
instructions sent by the man or
woman away in the armed forces.
Informed sources expressed doubt
whether this plan will carry, though
it will receive a substantial vote.
Lucas Proposal Defeated.
Senator Lucas, Democrat. of Illi-
nois led losing fight against the
Taft amendment, proposing instead
that all Government agencies, ex-
cept the Army and Navy, be forbid
den to send political literature or
broadcaSts to the armed forces. This
was beaten, Sc to 80.
The Democrats whose votes put
over the Taft amendment were
Senators Byrd of Virginia, Hatch of
| New Mexico, Maloney of Connecti-
cut, McCarran of Nevada, O'Danicl
of Texas, Overton of Louisiana, Rey-
nolds of North Carolina, Tydings of
Maryland, Walsh of Massachusetts,
and Wheeler OF Montana.
/ Senator Lucas also took the floor
against the Danaher plan, contend
ing that proxy voting would destroy
/ the secrecy of the ballot and pre-
dieting political leaders would go
/ proxy hunting
Danaher Defends His Plan.
Senator Danaher, defending his
proposal, argued that the man or
woman in uniform would be in
trusting his vote to the one he
trusted most back home, rather than
have his absentee ballot forwarded
by the secretary of state of his
State to an appropriate" precinct
official.
| Senator Danaher said the soldiers
sworn voting instructions, on a pre-
pared form, would be mailed in a
separate, sealed envelope to his
father. mother. wife or other des-
ignated person. 1t would be carried
to the polls on election day and
opened in the booth.
Senator Lucas contended if 5.OOO,-
900 servicemen voted. 100000 other
persons would know how they voted
Senator Danaher replied that the
proxy would take the same kind of
an oath taken every day by citizens
who serve on juries.

Mr.. Pearson, in his column, de-
scribed the attorney as a former
amploye of the Finance Committee
and 'one of the few men not con-

Senator George, evidently aroused

The new tax bill contains some

would throw the rcnegotiation law
out entirely ard rely en- taxation to
recapture excessive profits. Under
the law, Government agencies may
renegotiate war contracts with busi-

Unnecessary Now, George Says.
There was some excuse tor the
law at the start of the war program
when costs were unknown, but that
time certainly has passed. Senator
George declared
Willard F. Rockwell of the Timkin
Detroit Axle Co, previously had
criticized the persons who renego-

being "as arrogant as they are igno-

Another manufacturer. j. F. Lin
coin. president of the Lincoln Elec-
tric Co, Cleveland. complained that
efficiency is killed by The law
which. he contended, rewards less
efficient management with higher
profits.
Meanwhile, Representative Calvin
johnson, Republican, of Illinois,
proposed that all additional assess
ments on individuals and corpora
tions, which might be voted as an
anti-infiation measure, be set aside
for postwar use by the taxpayer.
Treasury Would Hold Sum.
Under Mr.. Johnson s proposal. fol
instance, if an individual is paying
$500 in Federal taxes and Congress
in an antiinfiation move. decided
to increase the levy TO $1,000, the
$500 could be used for Government,
expenditures, while the additional
5000 would be held in the Treasury
to the account of the taxpayer, re.
turnable after the war in lump
sum or in installments.

Conference
Continued From First Page }

somewhere in Iran, but some ex-
pressed belief the conference was
being held in the capital at Teheran
The situation closely paralleled
the circumstances surrounding the
recent North African conference
when Axis and neutral sources pro-
Gained that Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.
Churchill were conferring in Cairo
with Generalissimo Chang Kai-
shek several days before the official
announcement of that meeting.
Unconflrmed press dispatches from
Turkey asserted that a demand to
Germany to surrender or be bombed
to destruction was being prepared
and that the ultimatum would pro-
vide for stripping Germany of all
her war gains.
1T is certain that the Allies will
make an unconditional surrender
appeal to the Germans" said the
Turkish newspaper Cumhuriet. The
three statesmen must therefore take
a decision on the form of German
government with which they will
be prepared to negotiate"
Stalin's Promise Reprinted.
In London it was thought that a
big three declaration might assure
the German people that they would
not be enslaved, regardless N how
heavily Germany must pay for the
war. Such a declaration, it vas
thought. would tell the German
people that the Allies were not fight
ing them, but their Nazl masters.
and would assure them .hev would
be free to choose their own >orm of
democratic government after the
Nazi regime was abolished

assertion that we have not and
cannot have such war aims as
forcing our will and our regime on
Slavonic or any other enslaved Eu-
ropean peoples who are expecting
our assistance was repubished yes
terday in the Soviet war news
weekly.
Another topic which might be dis
cussed at any big three conference
might be the attitude of neutral
Turkey, whose entrance into the war
on the side of the Allies is regarded
as increasingly possible.
"a Washington dispatch. noting
that it is generally believed that
such a conference would also
take up the question of adminis-
tering liberated territories in
Central Europe, said that Czech
President Eduard Benes might
act as mediator between the
Poles and Russians. Mr. Benes
left London several weeks ago
and was later reported to have
arrived in Moscow
Nazis Call Capitulation Impossible
A Swedish dispatch quoted a Ger
man spokesman as saying, mean
while, that a German capitulation
was impossible because, while Ger

BERN. Switzerland. Dec. 3.-Vichy
Ambassador Admiral Francois Bard's
diplomatic staff in Bern resigned
today in what was described as a
protest against the Vichy govern

The six staff members, two coun-

taches, sent in their designations to
Pierre Laval as minister of foreign
affairs. Technical attaches who have
no diplomatic standing remained on
the job, however.
The designations were said to have
resulted from dissatisfaction with

In a series of interviews with
leading government personalities,
DR.. Silver is understood to have
emphasized the determination of
American Jews to fight the White
Paper as a step offensive to the
honor and security of Jews
throughout the world and not only
because it is in violation of the
Balfour Declaration and the Pal
estine Mandate. Among a varie-
ty of activities in which DR.. Silver
engaged during his visits here was
a press conference at which lead
ing Washington newspapermen
hammered away at the Zionist
leader with many questions which
were answered so effectively that
the veteran reporters made spe-
cial note of the circumstance.
Spokesman for the American
Zionist Emergency Council indi-
Gated that DR.. Silver intends to
spend great deal of time in
Washington as well as in New
York in carrying out his respon-
sibilities in the Emergency Coun
Gil.

Under the Jewish law he could not

age DR.. Weizmann himself
