that IT cannot grow children up

that it has to help them realize

this most effectively the child's

A Conference Committee

Senate on the Soldiers Vote
Bill, and the compromise
measure is expected to be ap-
proved some time this week.
Final draft of the bill will be
almost a complete victory for

is thought to be 80 drawn as
to eliminate any question of
constitutionality. Under the
compromise only state ballots
can be used for armed service
voting in the United States.
Those with the armed forces
overseas must also use state
ballots except under the fol-
lowing conditions: "a The

Representative Albert En-.

investigating committee, has
called attention of the Con
.gress and the country to the
fact that the gigantic Penta-
gon Building, which is the
largest Office structure in the
world, actually cost eighty-six
million dollars instead of the
thirty-five million . authorized
by Congress. The additional
fifty-one million dollars was
taken from, funds Congress
had appropriated for fighting
and winning the war, without
its knowledge, consent or ap-
proval. The building was erec-
ted under the supervision and
direction of Brehon B, Somer-
veil, then a Brigadier General.
Son1erveil is also the gentle
man responsible for spending
one hundred and thirty mil
lion dollars on the Canol Oil

which has become almost a
national scandal. He is con-
