TEST OF FEDERAL
WAR VOTE TALKED
Nav Be Made To End
0uarrel Over Ballot Meth
dds For Servicemen

WASHINGTON, Feb. rs. -(P-
A move developed in Congress to-
DIV to push the constitutionality
~ federal absentee ballots to a
onick supreme court test in an eff
fort to end the quarrel over vot-
no methods for the armed forces.
Senator Hatch O-NM) announc-
Cd that he had conferred with At
orney General Biddle on legisla-
inn necessary to bounce a feder-
Il ballot bill into the court for a
rnling far enough in advance of
me election to remove any pos
sible post-election contest of serv-
ice votes.
He will present the plan Mon
d.v TO senate and house colleagues
~ they begin the third week of
heir stalemated attempt to find
service voting law that will sat-
sfv both the administrators fed
eral ballot advocates and the
states rights" forces.
The New Mexico senator-a fed
oral ballot supporter and one of
+ne senate con1erees-will propose
lba+ A seSvice vote law be passed
setting up a federal absentee bal
lot and include in it language
blueprinting a supreme court test
before the votes are actually cast.
Agreement on the Hatch plan
would dispose of one of the chief
argument states Fighters have ad-
vanced against federal ballot.
Tnev contend a federal voting form
yould set up a constitutional in
vasion of the rights of states to
make their own election rules.
Tbev have been fighting against
anv use of federal ballots unless
+fe bill specifies that they meet
tbe test of state election laws.
House members offered a new
compromise for the senators to
study over the weekend. 1t would
require the states to certify that
? federal ballot complies with
their own laws.

highway and down to the newly
captured town of Porkhov, As miles
east of Pskov On the railroad from
Staraya Russo. Then it continues
south along the Novosokolriki rail-
way to the station of Ustrugi, Is
miles west of Novosokolniki on the
railroad to Riga.
That was the line as pictured
by two broadcast Moscow COM
muniques recorded by the Soviet
Monitor
The communicates also presented
a picture of swift, general Rus
sian advance, with the Germans
putting up strong fights for &C.
casional hedgehog positions.
1900 Germans Killed
In the advances which captured
Porkhov and Novoselye-the drive
on Pskov and its four railways and
two highways-over 1900 Germans
were killed, Moscow said. In this
area $50 communities were taken.
South of Porkhov, the last impor-
tant town before Pskov, the Rus
slams crossed the Shelon River and
reached the Po~khov- Chikhachevo
highway.
The communicate said that in this
area one group of Russians cap
tured German guns and ammuni-
ton, swung them in the opposite
direction and opened fire on re-
treating enemy troops.
On the second part of this front,
the area from Porkhov south to
Novosokolniki, 218 localities, were
declared captured, including eight
railway stations. The Germans thus
were forced back to the Pskov-
1drltsa railroad for north-south
communications
In this fighting a regiment of
Germans was routed and 700 men
killed. Typical of the fighting was
one attack described in the late
Moscow bulletin.
Red army men penetrated into
the enemy rear and made night
raid on a village occupied by a
company of German infantry. The
attack was so sudden that none
of the Germans had time to es-
cape. The majority was killed and
the remainder was takcr prisoner"
Adolf Hitler was reported to have
hurried to the northern front to
investigate the causes Of recent
German defeats in this sector
where the Nazi armies have fallen
back steadily toward the Estonian,
Latvian and Polish borders.
Quoting a Swedish source, the
French radio at Algiers said that
Hitler had gone to the front with
staff generals to bolster the Nazi
resistance to the Red army's great
onslaught.
Another French broadcast from
Algiers, quoting Swiss source,
said that Field Marshal Georg Won
Kuechler had been imprisoned in
a fortress at Koenigsberg for in
subordination to Hitler in disobey-
ing orders to hold his northern
front at all costs Marshal Won
Kuechler ten days ago was report
ed to have been relieved Of his
command.
