Conference Is Called
Tomorrow 10 Solve
Dormitory Problem

Another effort will be made to-
morrow to solve the Federal Gov
ernment's girl dormitory problem at
Arlington Farms, just across Me-
mortal Bridge in Virginia. A con-
troVersy has arisen since the Navy
Department obtained permission to
move in 1000 additional WAVES
after four agencies, including the
Navy, had promised every vacant
bed in the place to girl civilians in
recruiting campaign to bring
stenographers to Washington.
Representatives Of the Budget
Bureau, Civil Service and the Ma
tlonal Housing Agency will attend
a meeting tomorrow to try to iron
out the problem.
No present occupants Of the dor
mitories will be dispossessed, regard
less of any solution arrived at, an
MIA spokesman said.
Turnover is doing much to ease
the problem, he said, but even if
the agreement to give the Navy two
additional dormitory buildings were
Cancelled, there still would not be
beds for the civilian woman workers
who have responded to the Govern
ment literature illustrating the
places attractions.
In December, the spokesman said,
388 girls moved from Arlington
Farms. While the turnover rate is
going down, he said, they are NOV
ing out now at a rate of 300 a
month.
The NaFy had to have room for
1000 more WAVES in Washington.
1t asked Budget Bureau permission
to build dormitories for them in the
Northwest section. Because of the
shortage Of lumber and the number
Of rooms available in Washington,
the bureau refused the request.
The Navy then turned to Airing
ton Farms, where there are about
1000 vacancies. MIA gave Public
Buildings Administration instruc-
tionS to turn the buildings over to
the Navy. Immediately the four
agencies, which had been recruiting
civilian woman workers, with Ar
lington Farms as one of the attrac-
tions to bring them to Washington,
protested. They are the Army, the
Navy (for civilian personnel the
FBI and the Treasury. Altogether
they have applications from $500
young women for the Arlington
Farms vacancies.
At present there are 5000 WAVES
at Arlington Farms and about $500
civilians.

Outlook Held Bright to Enact
Compromise Soldier Vote Bill

cans, Withdrew their alternative plan
to send the uniform ballot only to,
men overseas, while requiring serv-.
icemen In camps in@this country to
get their regular State absentee
ballots.
Senator Tydings, Democrat, of
Maryland also. withdrew his por-
posal to require each State to submit
to the War Ballot Commission the
list of qualified voters entitled to
receive the uniform Federal ballot. .
First Step Taken in 1912.
In 1912, Congress took the first
step t olet servicemen away from
home vote, by setting aside registra-
ton and poll tax requirements, and
directing the Army and Navy to
furnish each Serviceman with
post card application for an absentee
ballot.
Up until yesterday Senators Green
and Lucas had been proposing to
reWrite that 1912 law completely
which meant re-enacting the ban on
poll tax and registration require
ments. Yesterday, however, they de-
cided on a different approach by
leaving the poll tax and registration
features of the 1912 law stand, which
eliminated from the pending bill any
reference to repeal of State laws.
Thus, while the poll tax and regis
tration sections of the 1912 act re-
main on the status books, the new
bill makes 1t clear that local officials
will decide whether the simplfied
Federal ballots sent to their States
shall be counted. No effort is made
In the new bill to impose Federal
penalties on State officials.
Connally Indorses New Bill.
Senator Connally, Democrat Of
Texas, who voted for the compro-
mise, told the committee he did not
vote for the 1912 law because it
undertook to set aside State laws"
He explained that he was not pres
ent when the Senate rejected the
filst Federal ballot plan before
Christmas, but sees nothing obiec-
tlonable in the new bill He added
his belief that the provisions agreed
to Yesterday 'at least soften or re-
peal' the provisions of the old law
Senator Tydings also expressed
satisfaction with the compromise
explaining that it met the objec-
tlons he expressed a few days ago.
The compromise still contains
provisions designed to give service
men the alternative of writing home
for State ballot, if they wish to
vote for State officials, and Senator
Ferguson, Republican, of Michigan
obtained adoption of an amendment
calling on the War and Navy De-
partments to make all reasonable
efforts to facilitate delivery of such
ballots. If a serviceman fills in
both the Federal and State ballot.
the State ballot will prevail.
Senators Revercomb of West VIZ
ginia and Moore of Oklahoma. Re-
publicans, were the committee
members who voted against the
compromise.
Evening star., 1944-01-21
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

The outlook appeared bright
today for final agreement in
Congress on a compromise to
enable all members of the armed
forces to cast uniform Federal
ballot this fall for President,
Senators and Representatives,
but with local officials passing
on the validity of ballots after
they are mailed home.
BY vote Of II to 2, the Senate
Elections Committee approved such
a compromise late yesterday, and
Senate leaders will try within a few
days to put 1t through in place OF
the Eastland -McKellar States rights
bill that chamber passed before
Christmas.
we are going to pass this bill
in the Senate" was the confident
prediction of Senator Lucas, Demo-
crat. Of Illinois. who joined Senator
Green, Democrat, of Rhode Island
in sponsoring the compromise.
House Vote Big Question.
The one big question still to be
answered is, How will the House
vote as between the compromise and
the States rights bill?" A House
Elections Committee already has
reported out, to S, the Eastland-
McKellar bill, which contains no
uniform Federal ballot, but urges
the States to change their laws to
facilitate the mailing to servicemen
|of regular absentee ballots and re-
|quires military authorities to give
priority to ballot mail.
Even If the House should approve
the State ballot plan before the
Senate has time to reverse its posi-
ton, however, further Senate action
would be necessary, because the
House Committee has changed de-
tails of the Senate's original bill
This would give Senate leaders a
chance to offer the compromise be-
fore the bill goes to the White House
The key to the compromise is the
provision which strips the Federal
War Ballot Commission of any power
to pass on the validity of service
mems ballots, and adds that such
determination shall be made by the
duly constituted election officials Of
the appropriate districts, precincts,
counties or other voting units of the
several States"
This recognition of the rights of
the States to control elections is
believed to have won the support
of some of the Southern Senators,
who joined with some Republicans
to beat the original Federal ballot
plan.
After a lengthy public hearing
Yesterday afternoon, at which mill
tary officials again listed the me-
chanical difficulties involved in try
ing to transport 48 different State
ballots to all parts Of the world, the
compromise won prompt approval
by the Senate Committee.

and Austin of Vermont, Republi-
