ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Ma
pies, Feb. 19.-The Allied command
has restored the use of Army radio
to correspondents on the Anzio
beachhead.
Correspondents were not permitted
to use the radio for three days be-
cause the command said their dis
patches at one period had been un-
duly pessimistic and had resulted
in dnjustified alarm among the peo-
pie at home.
The correspondents reply was that
they had described the course of
battle as they saw 1t.
News Dispatches Criticized.
During the period they were de-
MED the use of the radio dispatch
were sent out of the beachhead by
courier.
An Allied command spokesman
told correspondents the radio was
cut of because they showed COM
plete lack of perspective and dis
torted the facts" OF the beachhead
situation and that the Army was
extremely annoyed over their "er-
roneous stories"
Gen. Sir Harold Alexander, Allied
commander in Italy, himself ad-
monished the correspondents on the
beachhead, saying substantially the
same thing.
Ban Eased After Reaction.
Correspondents at Algiers were
told that alleged "blow-hot, blow
cold" tendencies Of their dispatches
regarding the beachhead operations
had caused alarm at home, but they
were not permitted to write stories
at the time concerning the COM
plant or send messages concerning
it to their home offices.
Following a reaction in America
and Britain at the cutting of of
radio facilities the censorship became
more liberal in permitting corre-
spondents to give their views on the
seriousness OF the beachhead situa-
ton.
The ofhcial attitude Of the Allied
command has been that while the
beachhead battle was an extremely
tough one there was no reason for
lack of confidence that the beach,
head would be held.

New Test Of Strenqth
Seen if Soldier Vote
Compromise Fails
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.


If conferees fail to adjust their
differences by the end Of this week
over the use of Federal ballot by
servicemen, the issue may be taken
back to the House and Senate for
another test Of strength, informed
sources said last night.
Both branches have approved new
machinery for the mailing of State
absentee ballots, but the Senate also
Is on record for a modified version
OF the Geen-Lucas bill permitting
use of the short, Federal voting
form by servicemen who certify they
have not received a State ballot.
The House rejected the Federal
ballot proposal, and reliable reports
are that in the three meetings
already held no substantial head
way has been made by the con-
ferees. The conferees are scheduled
to reconvene at Q pm. tomorrow
and one House member expressed
hope that some conclusion could be
reached, then, either to agree or
disagree.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
took the view that the question
should be disposed Of soon so that
the States will know how to pro-
coed. If another vote shows the
House standing firm against Fed
eral ballot, Senator Taft said the
Senate should accept the State bal
lot procedure.
Supporters Of the short Federal
ballot have contended that mailing
d1fnculties make it impracticable for
the Army and Navy to transport
full-size absentee ballots from each
State to and from the armed forces
all over the world Senator Taft
sponsored substitute to permit
use OF Federal ballots only by serv-
ice personnel from any State which
failed by June to make provision
for lightweight State ballot. This
substitute was turned down by the
Senate for an alternative that would
give a Federal ballot to any one in
the armed forces certifying he had
not received State ballot.
Representative Rankin, Democrat.
OF Mississippi, leading House advo-
cate Of the State ballot plan. is
sued a statement last night, declar-
ing:
III the opposition should finally
succeed in browbeating the House
into accepting the Green-Lucas

The epic Of Charles E. Bedaux
an immigrant who started as q
sandhog and ended as an inter-
national capitalist and political
conSpirator. was closed by sui
eide as he faced a possible trial
for treason against the United
States, the Justice Department
revealed yesterday. He was So
Known to two continents as the
originator of widely-used indus
trial speed-up system and as a
friend Of the Duke and Duchess of
Windsor, Bedaux was under deten-
ton by Federal authorities at Mi
ami, Fla, when he ended his life
by taking an overdose of sleeping
powder. He swallowed the drug
Monday night, shortly after learn
ing that a grand jury would investi-
gate charges against him of treason
land communicating with the enemy.
He fingered for three days in a
coma, dying at 9:l5 pm. Friday.
A statement by Attorney General
Biddle revealed for the first time
that Bedeaux had been a close COL
laborator with important Na1 fig
ures and, even after America and
Germany were at war, was directing
for the Vichy French the construc-
tion Of a pipeline across North
Africa to transport edible oils to
Mediterranean ports to relieve the
critical shortage of fats in Nazi-
dominated Europe.
The industrialist's dossier lists
among his friends and associates
such arch enemies Of the United
States as Joachim Won Ribbentrop,
Nazi foreign minister; Hjalmar
Schacht, famous German economist;
Otto Abetz, German Ambassador to
Occupied France, and Capt. Fritz
Wiedemann, close friend of Hit
ler's, who once served as German
lconsul-general in San Francisco.
Flown to United States.
Bedaux, who had been arrested
by order of Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover shortly after the Allied in
vasion of North Africa in Novem-
Der, 1912, was brought to Miami in
an Army plane last December %.
1nasmuCh as he was native of
France and had been out of the
United States constantly since 1887,
special board of inquiry of the
immigration and Naturalization
Service was asked to pass on the
question of his American citizen
ship. He was naturalized in 1917.
In Miami, John E. Burling, a
special agent of the service, re-
vealed Bedaux had been told Mon
day that the inquiry group had
found he was citizen and that a
grand jury would be convened Ito
inquire into his relations with high
officials of the German government
and of the Vichy French govern
ment, and that the grand jury would
consider whether he should be in
dicted for treason and for COM
municating with the enemy"
Bedeaux, apparently fearful of
some such development, had been
boarding sleeping tablets, he re-
vealed in a note left to his secre-
tary. He took a lethal dose of
these, and was found unconscious
in the detention quarters of the
immigration Service by his attorney
on Tuesday.
Rushed to Jackson Memorial Hos
pital, Bedaux died Friday night
without regaining consciousness. So
ended the life of the penniless
French immigrant boy whose speed
up system-damned by most labor
leaders but widely used in industry
had catapulted him to great wealth
and comradeship with some of the
most powerful figures of his age.
After the announcement of Be-
daux's death in Miami, the Justice
Department issued q statement
