WASHINGTON, Jan. 26,
(UP) = President Roosevelt
today sent a special message
to congress denouncing the
soldier vote bill passed by the
senate Dec. as a fraud on the
soldiers and sailors and marines
now training and fighting
1T is fraud upon the American
people," the president said 1T
would not enable any soldier 70
vote with any greater facility than
was provided by public law 712
under which only a negligible num-
Der of soldiers votes were cast
The bill condemned by Mr.. Roose-
velt called upon the states to enact
legislation to facilitate absentee
balloting by members of the armed
forces. 1t was adopted by the sem
ate in place of bill which had
been approved by the senate privi-
leges and elections committee and
which would have provided for vot-
ing by members of the armed forces
on federal ballots under direction
of a war ballot commission.
The bill now is on the house cal
endar, after being slightly revised
by the house elections committee
1t is tentatively slated for floor
Imperial Valley press., 1944-01-26

consideration early next week.
The senate, meanwhile, is con-
sidering the soldier vote issue anew.
Pending on the floor is COM
promise bill sponsored by Senators
Scott Lucas, CD, Illinois, and
Theodore F.. Green, CD, Rhode Is
land, which would provide for dis .
tribution of federal ballots on which
service personnel would write in
the name of their choices for preSi-
dent, president, senator, and
representative.
Mr.. Roosevelt endorsed the pend
ing LucaS-Green senate bill-Which
has been introduced in the house
by Elections Committee Chairman
Eugene Worley, Cd, Texas-be-
cas-, he said, it seems to me" thas
it would furnish to service per-
sonnel an opportunity to vote.
The new LucaS-Green and Wor-
ley bills set up proper and efficient
machinery for absentee balloting.
Mr. Roosevelt said.
Each state, under the bills, would
determine for itself whether or not
the voter is qualified to vote under
the laws of his state.
There is nothing in such pro-
posed statute which violates the
rights of the states,' the president
Imperial Valley press., 1944-01-26
President Backs New Bill
On Ballots for Soldiers

said THE federal government.
merely provides quick machinery
for getting the ballots to the troops
and back again"
Meanwhile, Senator Styles Brids-
eS, (R0, New Hampshire, opened
a fight in the senate to put the
names of presidential candidates on
the federal ballot proposed in the
new Lucas-Green bill He said that
step would reduce any advantage
Mr.. Roosevelt might have through
his long incumbency.
The senates pending Green-LucaS
bill would set up federal ballot
without names, but Bridges said
this would grant an undue advant-
age to the president if, as expected
generally, he is fourth term cam
didate.
"A man who has been out of
the country two years might not
be thoroughly familiar with the
name of the Republican nominee
but printing his name on the bal
lot would enable the soldier Or
sailor to vote more intelligently,'

On North Front

LONDON, Jan. 26. CUP) = Gen.
Leonid A. Gorov's Red army has
ctptured Kfasnogvardeisk, five
way railroad junction 25 miles
southwest of Leningrad, giving new
impetus to Russian drive rolling
the Germans westward on a 100
mile northern front, Moscow an
nounced Wednesday.
Premier Marshal josef Stain is
sued an order of the day hailing
the captors of Krasnogvardeisk,
turntable of the staggered German
defenses on the Leningrad front.
The city of $4,000 fell to Soviet
storm troopers last night, opening
the way for drive into the Baltic
states.
Krasnogvardeisk, also call c d
Gatchina, had been converted by
the Germans into q fortress with
an extensive system of permanent
defenSeS, Stain reported.
The fortress was believed TO be
the last formidable stronghold in
the Leningrad system of fortifica-
tions anchoring the German de-
fense line running down to Lake
linen.
With that base reduced, GoVorov
was expected to be able to wheel
his fast moving units in behind the
line and take the sting out of the
defenseS to the south.
