ballots, required by the 1912 law to
be sent to every one in uniform.
That law says the cards must 20 out
as soon after February l as prac-
ticable.
When the issue first reached the
House floor two days ago, Repub-
lcans and a group of Southern
Democrats defeated a change in
rules that would have insured a
direct roll call on the Federal ballot.
1t looked for a time as though the
Republicans had given the Presi-
dent a strong campaign issue, if he
runs this fall. in their refusal to
stand up and be counted
Having earlier defeated the effort
to force roll call, the Republicans
last night voluntarily consented to
put themselves on record, by per-
mitting a separate roll call on a
motion to recommit the States
rights bill with instructions to the
committee to bring out the Worley
Federal ballot substitute. Under
House rules this motion to recon-
NIT was in the hands of the Repub-
llcans, as the minority party.
Anderson Offered Motion.
The motion that brought the sep
arate vote on the Federal ballot plan
was made by Representative Ander-
son, Republican, of California who
was opposed to the States rights bill
1t was nearly II pm. when the fina,
House vote was taken.
We are not afraid to be counted,
Minority Leader Martin declared.
Earlier, the House placed in the
States rights bill an amendment BY
Representative Case, Republican, o1
South Dakota designed to overcome
in large part the Army and Navy
contention that ballots from the 46
States would put strain on over
seas mail and interfere with mail to
and from soldiers families.
To overcome the requirements
that applications be received in
advance, the Case amendment pro-
poses that States print on the out
side Of the envelope in which they
mail out the ballot an application
form for the ballot. That would
eliminate the advance mailing of an
application
The serviceman would mail home
his marked ballot. Before opening
the envelope, local election officials
could make a record of his applica-
ton from the envelope and deter
mine whether he was eligible to vote
Local selective service officials are
directed by the amendment to CO.
operate with election officials in
furnishing the names and addresses
OF servicemen who may not have
written in for a ballot.
The proposed Federal ballot would
cover only voting for President
Senators and Representatives. Op-
ponents challenged its constitu-
tionality, and argued servicemer
should have the same opportunity
to vote for Governors and other
State and local officials.
Throughout the House debate the
prediction was made that legal dis
putes growing out of the use Of
the Federal ballot. especially ir
States where the outcome is. close
might leave the outcome of the
November election in doubt far into
1945.
During the long House session
that chamber turned down, in sub
stance. even the limited use of the
Federal ballot which is being con-
sidered as last-minute move in the
Senate today. BY vote Of 155 to 104
it rejected compromise to let Fed
eral ballots be used if States do not
make their own ballots available

The surprisingly light losses among
the invaders were accounted for in
large part by the devastation of
the intensive. preparatory naval and
air assaults. Concrete and steel
defenses were ripped open by bat
tleships firing their 16-inch guns
at point blank range and by 1000
and 1000 pound bombs of raiding
planes.
Resistance Pinned Down.
What resistance remained as the

down by artillery firing from nearby
Gays overrun in the initial landings
Monday. Secret-type weapons and
new tactics also played their part.

of more than 80 Marshall bases

ocean area. continues to feel the
