had not been a single important
disaster in the ports, harbors, vessels
and 21,00O miles Of vast areas under

could do the most damage in the
ports, he said, adding that the blow

Alabama Judge Hits
Rampant Vote Fraud

DOTHAN, Ala, Mar. 8.-The
Houston County grand jury sum-
moned a number of election officials

Circuit Judge D. c. Halstead that
high-ranking State officials were re-
ported to have been involved in
alleged irregularities in the recent

In certifying 1t. Andrews, Chair
man Gessner T. McCorvey of the

yesterday in charging the jury.
Il am rather inclined to believe
that the qualified voters of the
Third Congressional District have
been deprived of their right to elect
a Congressman for their district,
and as the matter now stands it
may be that we will have a Con-
gresham for the political racketeers

Congressional action has been
completed on an emergency measure
authorizing the Navy to undertake
a $3.50 900 900 program for expanding
ship repair facilities.
The House yesterday passed the
legislation without dissenting vote
and sent it to the White House.
The actual appropriation for the
program is to follow. The first de-

out yesterday by the House Appro-
priations Committee, carries the
funds, but the committee in making
major slashes in the bill reduced
the proposed Navy fund from $780,

Turkey Represented
As Eager 10 Restore
british Relations
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ANKARA, Mar. 6 Delayed -
Turkey was represented today as
anxious to 60 part of the way to
patch up her differences with
Britain, although the Turkish gov
ernment still feels that deliveries
of supplies have been far below
what was promised.
This view of Turkish policy was
obtained from participants in a con-
ference of Turkish editors with
Foreign Minister human Menemen-
cioglu, who was quoted as saying
Turkey planned to do everything
in her power to preserve her alliance
with Britain.
The Turks hope the British viii
make the first conciliatory move
but if it is not forthcoming, they
probably will make it themselves
it was said. Turkish policy was de-
scribed as still contemplating even
tual participation in the war and az
Delng ready to revise the estimates
of the war material 1t considers
necessary.
Gondon disclosed last week
that British arms and goods
shipments to Turkey had been
halted because the British were
dissatisfied with Turkish help in
the war;
Military aid of the value of 25,-
100000 pounds sterling (about $780,
000,000) to be delivered within six
months was promised by the British
under the 1899 alliance treaty, but
only 100000 pounds sterling
(about $76,0O0,O0O has arrived to
date, the Turks say.
They add that of commitments
made later by Prime Minister
Churchill at Adana, only per cent

Welsh Coal Strike
Spreads; Complete
Shutdown Feared
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Mar. g. The flow
of coal from the Welsh mines on
which British war industries are
largely dependent was reduced fur
ther today as a wage strike spread
throughout the area and there were
indications that production might
be halted entirely by nightfall
Best estimates said $4,000 or 10000
out of 100000 miners in the Welsh
fields already had walked out.
With the situation hourly growing
worse, the nation looked hopefully
to meeting of owners and miners
IN London this afternoon under the
. Craftsmanship of Fuel Minister Gwi-
lyn Lloyd George to produce some
solution for the wage problem, which
the miners say needs general over
hauling
More miners were walking out
hourly and the loss in daily produc-
tion was estimated at $4,000 tons.
Locals Vote to Stay Out.
The executive council of the
miners union had recommended
that the workers return pending
discussion of the issues, but some
locals already had voted to remain
out until Saturday, when a report
on the London talks will be pre-
sented to union delegates.
The strikes began as showdown
several weeks ago, then mush-
roomed to serious proportions this
week as dissatisfaction spread over
a decision boosting the weekly wage
from sl6.75 to $40, but not providing
an increase in piece rates.
The Welsh fields, which embrace
part of Monmouthshire, produce
more than one-sixth of the nations
coal. So far other areas have not
been affected.
The Government has a big stick
1t could use against the miners-the
National Service Act, which permits
drafting Of men into the armed
services.
Transfer Of Men Tested.
It was believed this would not be
invoked. however, for there has
Deen sucn scarcity OF miners that
some men have been released from
the armed forces to work in the
pits and past suggestions that it be
invoked have raised objections that
service in the armed forces should
not be considered punishment.
The National Service Act also
empowers the government to trans
fer miners from one pit to another
action which is now in the process
Of being taken against few hum
dred miners as test case. Such
shifts are considered difficult, how
ever, because of the problems con-
nected with the wholesale move
ment of men at time when the
transportation system is being
cleared for handling the western
invasion.
Meanwhile, more strike trouble
broke out when many Glasgow dock
workers quit over an interunion
dispute. The number idle was not
disclosed.

Results In 10 Elections.
The 10 special elections since
1912 to fill House vacancies have
showed the Republicans gaining in
the percentage Of votes cast-ex-
cept in the I'd California dis
trict, which had been represented
for years by the late Representa-
tive Englebright, Republican. In
that district, however, which was
won by the Democrats, the Repub-
'lican support was divided between
two candidates and the sum of
their votes was a majority.
The first of the by-elections was
in the 9Th Missouri district jan
uary IL, 1943, when Representative
Bennett, Republican, succeeded his
father. The second was in the I'd
California district and the third was
In the I'd Kansas district, Repub-
lican by a strong majority. The
fourth was in the 32d New York
district, where a Republican sue
ceeded a Republican. The fifth
was in the 23d Pennsylvania district,
a Republican replacing a Repub-
lican. The sixth was in the 4th
Kentucky district, which the Re
publicans took from the Democrats.
The seventh was in the I'd Penn
sylvania district, where the Repub-
licans took another Democratic seat.
The eighth was in the 18th Penn
sylvania, where Republican sue
ceeded Republican. The ninth
was in the 21st New York district,
where the Republicans lost to the
Tammany candidate by only 1871
votes, and the tenth was yesterdays
election in Denver.
In out of the 10 special elections
the Republicans gained Democratic
House seats.
When all this is added to the
election results in the gubernatorial
elections in New Jersey and Ken
lucky, and the election for Lieuten-
ant Governor in New York, in No
Ivember, 1943, the Republican trend
throughout the country appears on
