Supreme Court Test
|0f Soldier BaNofinq
Proposed by Hatch
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

A plan to let the Supreme
Court decide before election day
whether Congress has the right
under the Constitution to give
servicemen a Federal ballot was
advanced yesterday by Senator
Hatch, Democrat, of New Mexico
in a new effort to break the
deadlock over servicemen voting
legislation.
Senator Hatch said he has con-
ferred with the Attorney Generals
Office on the possibility Of devising
a method of getting a test case
quickly to the highest court, If some
form of Federal ballot can be agreed
on by House and Senate.
II that can be done, the Senator
said, it would overcome the argu-
ment Of those who believe a Federal
ballot would be unconstitutional and
who fear use of such ballot might
throw the results into court after the
election returns are in. Senator
Hatch's suggestion contemplates a
court decision well in advance Of
election day.
Plan Ready Tomorrow.
Senator Hatch said the proposal
probably would be to write into the
service-voting bill a provision that
test suit could be taken directly
from a district court to the Supreme
tribunal, without going through the
appellate branch.
He was not sure last night who
would be the appropriate person or
agency to bring the test, but said
he hoped to have an amendment
ready for consideration when the
conferees resume negotiations to-
morrow. Senator Hatch suggested
the suit might take the form Of an
application for an injunction.
Meanwhile, Representative Ran
kin, Democrat, OF Mississippi served
notice he will continue to fight for
retention Of election machinery In
the hands Of the States. The
House has voted for use of State
ballots only, while the Senate bill
seeks to make a Federal ballot
available to members Of the armed
forces who do not receive their
State ballots.
Latest Compromise.
The Senate conferees will meet
at II am. tomorrow to consider the
latest compromise plan. under
which Federal ballot could be
supplied to servicemen who had
not received a State ballot by Oc-
tober /, provided the Governor Of
the State certified before August
that the Federal ballot would be
acceptable under the laws of such
State"
The five Senate conferees will
confer with the five House mem
bers tomorrow afternoon, but some
Of the Senators have indicated they
do not believe they could accept
the compromise in its present form.
They contend that the words "un-
der the laws Of such State" throw
doubt on the right Of Congress
to authorize Federal ballot. They
also point out that State legisla-
lures would have to pass local laws
ratifying the Federal ballot before
the Governor could certify it was
acceptable under State laws.

crippled"
The company said the workers
were sent home because there was
mo adequate supervision" at the
plant as result of a walkout Of
supervisory employees, who are MEM
bers of an independent union.
Earlier today John Tamsen, vice
president. of Local $50 of the CLOS
United Automobile, Aircraft and
Agricultural Implement Workers,
which represents most Wright work
ers, charged the company had locked
out 10000 workers at the Woodbridge
plant and he said appeals had been
sent to President Roosevelt, the
Army and War Labor Board to halt
the alleged curtailment.
WLB Orders Strike Halted.
The company said the workers
who were sent home would be called
back to their jobs just as soon as
there was supervision available in
the plant.
In Washington the War Labor
Board ordered a strike Of super
visory employees terminated at plants
in Paterson and Woodbridge and said
it had directed reinstatement OF all
employees discharged or suspended
since the stoppage pending a final
determination.
In a telegram to David Newcomb,
president OF the Wright Aircraft ST.
pervision Association, the board
said this stoppage of work is in vio-
lation of labor's no-strike pledge and
the national policy that there shall
be no strikes for the duration of the
war and is seriously interfering with
the production of vital aircraft en-
gines including particularly the en-
gines for B-29 Super Bombers.
Strike Certified to WLB.
For these reasons the strike must
be terminated Immediately. The
Secretary of Labor and the United
States Cancellation Service have
certified the dispute to the National
War Labor Board. The board under
its established policy will take no
action on the dispute while the
stoppage of work is in progress.
The board therefore directs that
this work stoppage be terminated
Immediately and that you and the
other supervisory employees do
everything in your power to bring
about an immediate and complete
resumption Of production.
''The board Is directing the COM
pany to return all employees dis
charged or suspended subsequent to
the development of the work stop
page and to restore the status quo
pending an ultimate determination
of the merits of the dispute. Please
reply indicating the steps you take
to comply with this order"
