LUCAS PREPARES
new VOTING BILL

WASHINGTON, Jan. s. ZAP, -
Senator Lucas (D-IlD offered a
new absentee vote bill for service
personnel today in place OF the
leave it to the states resolution
which the senate substituted Tor
his original measure.
Announcing he would formally
introduce his revised proposal
Monday, while the senate substi-
tute still bangles in the house cleo
tons committee, Lucas said:
eff a man can stop a bullet ne
ought to have the opportunity to
cast a ballot there's nothing
the states can do that will take
away the necessity for a federal
ballot
The Illinois senator still wants
a federal ballot commission, as
was provided in the original Dill
drafted by himself and Senator
Green ORD, but its powers would
be sharply pruned SO that its du-
ties would be almost entirely ad-
ministrative. The four-man, bi-par-
tisan commission would prepare
the war ballots, turn them over
to the Army and Navy, and after
they had been filled out, transmit
them to the 48 secretaries OF state.
The powers of the commission
would end right there. Local elec'
ton officials would not have to
account back to the commission
for ballots received nor would the
commission have any investiga'
tive power.
"The commission shall have no
powers or functions with respect
to the determination Of the vail
dity of ballots cast under the pro-
visions of this title declared a
new section which Lucas charac-
terized as the most important OF
the changes.

hers of senators who previously
opposed the BILL" he said.
The senate, on Dec. 3, jettison-
ed the original Green-Lucas bill oy

house the substitute calling on the
states to make absentee ballots
available to members of the arm
ed forces at home and abroad.

More than go other towns and
hamlets were captured by Gen.
Nkola Vatutn's Ukrainian forces
during the day, said the delayed
Moscow communique, recorded by
the Soviet monitor from a broad
cast.
Among them were Tarashcha, a
district center Of the Kiev region
% miles southeast of Belaya Tser-
kov.
To the north in White Russia,
where the Russians were advanc-
ing along the railroad toward No.
vosokolniki, more than 90 more
towns were captured including the
railway station of Vlasye, 20 miles
northeast of Newell.
Moscow dispatches said the
western front of Vatutin's attack
which crossed the pre-war Polish
border Tuesday h d penetrated
deep into Polesie in the direction
of Sarny. Sarny is IS miles west
of the former frontier. Polesie is
the largest county Of pre-war Po-
land.
Meanwhile, Berlin announced al
important new Soviet drive in the
area southwest of Krichev in White
Russia. 1t said the attack began
Tuesday with violent artillery
preparation after which several
Red army divisions and large
number of tanks smashed in on
comparatively narrow front. Heavy
fighting ragged all day and con-
tinued Wednesday, Berlin a d o
said.
Although the area was not iden-
titled further it was between the
Nevel-Vitebsk fighting in the north
and the northern Ukraine. T h e
fighting may be in the sector north
of hlobin, where the Russians long
have been at the upper Dnieper
after drive from Proposk.
The Russians, as is customary
when a new operation begins,
made no mention of the area.
In announcing the capture OF
Berdichev Stain cited an lair as

visions, a tank brigade, a tank
regiment and four artillery d
mortar regiments. A salute of 20
salvoes from 224 Moscow guns was
ordered to celebrate the victory.
1t was clear from the scope of
the Russian Ukraine operations
that the great battle to drive the
10000 to $50, 900 Germans from
the Dnieper bend had begun.
The German high command
communique issued from Hitler's
headquarters at the front made
the grim and sober announcement
of the crumbling of Berdichev.

UNUSUAL CAUSE

AS Pm would say, Hats Off" to the striking en-
ployees of the Continental Diamond Fibre Manufactur

dred white employees strike there not because OF
any wrongs which they themselves directly suffer but be-
of the companys alleged unfaness to coored fell
low-workers 1t is not wage dispute nor controversy
whether this union that should represent the workers
nor demand for renewal of contract None Of these
questions usually uppermost in labor troubles, caused
the Bridgeport strike We have it from the strikers own
lips that is partly protest against unsanitary condi
tions under which coored employees have to work and
partly protest charging the company with dscrmlna-
ton in failing to promote workers because of color.
The strikers appear to know that by bringing relief
to any working group they strengthen the cause of all
labor and push forward the whole democratic structure
We shall need great deal more of this kind of unity
