Kelly Plans
Extension OF
Voting Hours

Detroit. Oct. 3l-AP-Goyernor
Kelly, after a conference with other
state officials early today. an
nounced that he would summon
the legislature to a special session
Friday to consider an extension OF
voting hours for the Nov. Z cleo
ton. The session will begin at
II a. m, Central War Time.
Kelly said his decision resulted
from a change OF position by the
Detroit city election commission
which. "as a result OF more com
plete information, discovered that
a serious emergency had arisen
which caused 1t to join with the
Wayne county election commits
sion in requesting a special session
OF the legislature to meet the
emergency"
at was decided further the
governor declared in a prepared
statement, that the emergency
could best be met by providing per-
missive legislation for the Nov. /
election only.
This decision was basel on the
conviction Of both the election com
mission and the state officials that
It would be a mistake TO order that
all the polling places in the state
be kept open until 10 p. m. The
legislature will, therefore, be re-
quested to enact legislation to per-
NIT the governing bodies OF cities
and townships to extend voting
hours where such governing bod
les deem it necessary"
Kelly, who twice before had said
a special session would not be
needed, cited reasons given him by
the Detroit and Wayne county cleo
ton commissions in their requests
for a two hour extension Of voting
time beyond the usual 8 p. m, clos

Summer May
Peace

London. Oct. SLAP Prime
Minister Churchill cautioned Com
mons today that the war against
Germany might last into next sum-
mer and that against japan until
the end OF 194e. -
He made these predictions EN-;
phasizing they were subject 10
changing conditions, in calling for
the retention of Britain's nine-year
parliament and warborn coalition
OF government, without an cleo
ton.
There were immediate indiea-
tions that Commons would string
along with Churchill. Arthur
Greenwood, prominent in the labor
party's councils, endorsed extern
sion OF prolongation OF parliament
for a year, but he served notice
that Churchill's government would
not be free from controversy in
coming months. He also made 1t
clear labor's ranks would oppose
extension OF the coalition govern
ment until Japan was defeated
Churchill held out hope that "po-
litical CONFUSION in Germany may
bring the war to speedy end at
any time"
But, in almost the same breath,
he warned that against that pos
sibility must be set the iron con.
troll of German life in all its forms,
including the army which has been
established by Hitler's storm troops
and secret police"

RECALL OF
BY JOHN NJ. HIGHTowER


Withdrawal OF General Joseph w.
Etilwell from his triple command
in Asia apparently means clean
breakup of the fronts against ia
pan into British, Chinese and
American theaters.
Eventually it is expected that
the British will seek to join forces
and commands on the American
side of the long battle line. But Il
can be ste ted flatly that In high
military and naval quarters here
there Is powerful opposition to any
such move. Every effort will be
made TO preserve the cleavage
which has now been effected.
This attitude within the Amer.
lean high command Is based on two
points primarily:
"a Under the leadership OF
Nimitz. Macarthur. Halsey and 9TH
er American forces have campaign
ed with spectacular success and
any basic change in the plan OF
leadership might be for the worse.
