Bridges Asks Report
From President on
Teheran Conference
Ey the Associated Press.

Asking what really happened at
Teheran," Senator Bridges, Repub-
lican, New Hampshire says the
American people are not satisfied
with President Roosevelt's statement
that neither he nor Secretary of
State Hull had made any postwar
commitments.
Americans" Senator Bridges told
the Senate yesterday, want to know
whether the national life and inde-
pendence of any people in Europe
whether in the Baltic region, the
Balkans or Western Europe, have
been endangered" by either COM
mitments cor the failure to make
strong representations"
He asked why Gen. Mikhailovich
in Yugoslavia has apparently been
abandoned and an opposition force
headed by Communists has become
the sole recipient of Allied support" +"
Americans are instinctively wary
of "grab-as-grab-can diplomacy,
Senator Bridges declared as he de-
manded that the administration
shed further light on the Teherar
and Cairo conferences.
The American people want tc
know whether we are trying te
restrain allies who have territoria.
or power ambitions" the Senate,
said.
The people also want to know, he
continued, how Poland, which was
the only full ally England and
France had at the beginning of the
war and which has been so horribly
ravaged, is to be rewarded for its
loyalty and supreme sacrifices"
Granted that no commitment
was made with respect to the Bal
kans, is it our policy to sit by and
by doing nothing allow the swallow
ing up of the Balkan nations?" Sen
at0r RridpeS asked

least three mailings and in some
States five, will be necessary to let
a serviceman cast a regular State
ballot. With men from each State
scattered in all theaters Of the war,
they say State ballots could not be
handled in bulk, but would have to
move as individual pieces of mail.
Highlights of the bill reported
out by the House committee are:
Postcard applications for ballots
would be distributed by the Govern
ment departments to the armed
forces, including merchant marine
and Red Cross; ballots to be mailed
back to State secretaries and for
warded to local election officials
cards and ballots to be handled free
by airmail; no propaganda may be
sent servicemen by Federal agen-
cies; equal radio time required for
both major parties in broadcasting
to servicemen; censors may delete
only material of value to the enemy
Worley's Proposals.
Chairman Worley of the Elections
Committee, who will lead the floor
fight for a Federal ballot, has gone
further than his Senate associates
IN seeking a compromise. He will
propose:
The simplified uniform ballot, on
which all servicemen could vote for
President, Senator and Representa-
tive by writing in either the party
designation or the name of the can
didate for each office; elimination
of the War Ballot Commission
which the Senate compromise retains
as a distributing agency; States
would determine the validity of the
ballots, except that no poll tax could
be required; State courts would have
jurisdiction of any penalties for
election law violations; free mail and
equal division of radio time.
Three Plans Offered.
In the Senate the effort to reach
a compromise on some form of SIM
pie Federal ballot has brought forth
three distinct proposals, namely:
A new Green-Lucas bill, giving
every serviceman the Federal ballot
for President and members of Con-
gress, but making local precinct OFF,
cials the judges Of validity of bal
lots; retaining the War Ballot Com
mission to distribute and collect
ballots.
A Republican substitute by Sen
ators Austin Of Vermont and Lodge
of Massachusetts,, giving the simple
Federal ballot to those overseas,
but requiring those still in camp in
the United States to get regula-
ton ballot from their States.
An alternative by Senator Tyd-
ings, Democrat, of Maryland, au-
thorizing the simplified Federal bal
lot, but requiring the Governor or
adjutant general of each State to
certify eligible voters to the War
Ballot Commission. He told the
Senate yesterday that If local elec-
ton officials are permitted to count
or throw out ballots confusion and
resentment will result. Under his
plan, he said. the eligibility of voters
would be settled in advance.

more like hymn than q soldiers

Bostonians did not agree, and gave
up trying to sing his version before

Warren Storey Smith, the Boston

Nazis Order 100000
Cleared From Sofia
After Allied Raids

BY the Associated Press.
| LONDON, Jan. 15.-The Bull.
garian government has ordered i'm.
mediate total evacuation of Sofia.
100000 citizens as a result of the
heavy Allied air blows against the
capital, the German radio an
nounced last night.
Dispatches from Istanbul quoted
travellers as saying the center of the
city was almost knocked out by the
American-British day and night at
tacks this week. The German ma
|rine headquarters and the Hotel
Slavianska Besseda, housing most OF
the German Army staff, were re-
ported destroyed.
Evacuees Go to Provinces.
The German broadcast said most
of the evacuees would be accom-
modated in the provinces and added
that other large towns in Bulgaria
also were to be evacuated.
(The Bulgarian home radio
broadcast an order of the day
by Interior Minister Docho
Christov which threatened the
personnel of Sofas health serv-
ices with prosecution if they did
not report for duty in the capi-
tai within "a hours. The broad
cast, recorded by United States
Government monitors, said the
city'S banks and motor repair
shops were also ordered to re-
open immediately
The death penalty has been or
dered for looting and a curfew i'm
posed from 8 pm. to 8 am, the
Berlin broadcast said.
The Istanbul advices said the
American daylight attack hac
caused the most damage with the
Ministries of the Interior and Fl
nance and part Of the Foreign Min.
istry reported destroyed among
many other buildings, including the
National Theater. The Ankara ra.
dio said yesterday that the jap
anese and Hungarian Minister:
were killed in the raids.
Nazis Reinforce Rumania.
Other Istanbul dispatches said
meanwhile, that latest reports from
Rumania indicated that fear of the
Red Army's advance on Rumania s
borders has spread to the army. The
Germans were said to have brought
in reinforcements, mixing German
and Rumanian units with the aim
Of destroying the identity of Ru-
mania'S home defense army.
Refugees arriving in Cairo from
Greece said the Germans had heav-
lily mined Athens and the port dis
trict of Piraeus as well as the great
Marathon Dam which controls the
city's water supply.
The German and Bulgarian occu-
patton troops were said to have
taken such brutal reprisals against
the slightest show of resistance ir
Greece that guerrilla activities hac
sunk to the lowest ebb in 18 months
The Greek government, in a Cairo
broadcast recorded by United States
Government monitors, said that fol
every crime the Germans and Bull
garians "have committed against
the Greeks they will have to answer
before Greek tribunal"
