voters who are engaged abroad in
war work Of various kinds would be
desirable. But as to members of our
armed forces and merchant marine
I deem the legislation imperative.
Our millions of fighting men dc
not have any lobby or pressure
group on Capitol Hill to see that
justice is done for them. They are
not ordinarily permitted to write
their Congressman on pending leg
islation; nor do they put lads" In
the papers or stimulate editorial
writer's or columnists to make special
appeals for them. It certainly
would appear unnecessary that our
soldiers and sailors and merchant
marine have to make a special ef-
fort to retain their right to vote.
AS their Commander in Chief,
am sure that I can express their
wishes in this matter and their re-
sentiment against the discrimination
which is being practised against
them.
The American people cannot be-
lieve that the Congress will permit
those who are fighting for political
freedom to be deprived of voice in
choosing the personnel of their own
Federal Government.
Wants Record Vote in Congress.
I have been informed that it would
be possible. under the rules OF the
Congress, for a soldiers vote bill to
be rejected or passed without any
roll call, thus making it impossible
for the voters of the country-mili-
tary or civilian-to be able to de-
termine just how their own Repre-
sentative or, Senators had voted on
such bill.
l have hesitated to say anything
to the Congress on this matter for
the simple reason that the making
OF these rules Is solely within the
discretion OF the two houses of the
legislative branch of the Govern
ment. I realize that the Executive
as such has nothing to do with the
making or the enforcement OF these
rules. Nevertheless, there are times.
I think, when the President can
speak as an interested citizen.
I think that there would be wide
spread resentment on the part
of the people Of the Nation il they
were unable to find out how their
individual representatives had ex-
pressed themselves on this legisla-
tion-which goes to the root OF the
right of citizenship.
As I have said, this is solely a
legislative matter, but I think most
Americans will agree with me that
every member of the two houses of
Congress ought to be willing in JUS
tice Ito stand up and be counted"

Archeo|ogists Leave
Friday on Sixth Field
Trip 10 Mexico

The sixth National Geographic
Society Smithsonian Institution
archaeological expedition to South
ern Mexico will leave Friday to con-
tirue studies of pre-C Columbian civ
ilizations. DR.. Gilbert Grosvenor
president OF the Geographic, an
nounced today.
Led by DR.. Matthew w. Stirling,
chief Of the Bureau of American
Ethnology, the expedition will in
clude Mrs. Stirling, an archeologist
in her own right, and Richard
Stewart, crack Geographic photog-
rapher.
Every year since 1898 DR.. Stir
ling and small group of scientists
have cut their way through forests,
dug deep into burial mounds and
unearthed stone carvings seeking
facts about peoples who built ornate
temples, performed amazing feats
of sculpture with crude imple-
ments, made jade ornaments, car
ried jade-headed axes and made
necklaces worth a kings ransom.
The expeditions objective this
year is an archaeological survey of
the 'headwaters of the Tonala River
IN ,Tabasco, Veracruz, Chiapas and
OaxacaS States. Last year a native
told DR.. Stirling about a large ruin
in the region. No explorer had ever
visited the site. The expedition
made an unsuccessful attempt to
find the ruin, but, with data now
in hand, hopes to reach it for pre-
liminary examination.
Outstanding among the treasures
found on previous expeditions was
stone bearing the oldest recorded
date in the Western Hemisphere.
In Mayan symbols the stone re-
vealed the date November 8, 29l
BIC. The expedition also unearthed
caches Of jade One cache of more
than TOO pieces included ear plugs
and figurines of men and animals.
Six colossal heads of basalt, weigh
Ing from Is to 20 tons each and
believed to have been used in re-
ligious ritual, have been excavated.
A reproduction of one of the largest
of these heads, found near La Venta,
Mexico, is on exhibition In the

Seven More Sought
In Connection With
Coupon Theft Here

DlStrlct OPA investigators kept a
sharp lookout Tor the appearance OF
any part of an estimated TO-
100000 gallons worth of fuel oil and
gasoline coupons stolen from the
shredding machine of a local paper
company, as the names of seven more
men were added to the list of sus-
poets involved in the largest single
black market operation yet uncov-
cred.
Warrants were issued late yester-
day at Harrisburg, Pa. for the ar
rest of seven Central Pennsylvania
men said to be connected with the
case. The warrants charged the
men with illegally acquiring or SELL
ing ration coupons.
Four Washington men, three OF
them colored, are awaiting trial fol-
lowing their arrests on January
and 13 on charges Of violating the
National Defense Act.
Safeguards Mapped.
The case, which yesterday drew
from Price Administrator Chester
Bowles promise that steps would be
taken to avoid similar occurrences
in the future, resulted In a state
ment today from Thomas I. Emerson,
OPA enforcement chief, that safe
guards his department is developing
will prevent future thefts.
1--WE are not in a position yet to
talk about the controls ." Mr.
Emerson said, but we think they
will meet the situation"
The loss of the gasoline and fuel
oil stamps resulted, the agency said
when the stamps-most of them OBJ
solete for issuance, but still good in
the hands of consumers - went
through the shredding machine OF
the Penn Paper e. Stock Co. here
without being destroyed. Subse-
quently the waste was shipped to a
Pennsylvania paper mill.
Mr.. Emerson said thefts and
counterfeiting of ration coupons had
assumed serious proportions" ir
various parts OF the country" but
he added:
"The situation is by no means
desperate and we are confident we
can lick it."
AS part Of program to prevent
thefts, OPA already has announced
it will establish central issuance sta
tions in metropolitan centers to
handle distribution of coupons.
First evidence that the illegal
coupons were in circulation was un-
covered and reported by the Harris
burg ONCE.
Shortage Denied.
Approximately $4,000 pounds OF
the coupons were sent to the locaI
flrm for shredding between August
and November, 1943. Another ship
ment of 5,720 pounds on December s
was intercepted because the diver.
sion had come to light, OPA said
The agency termed greatly ex.
aggerated" reports that circulation
Of the coupons had caused serious
shortages Of fuel Oil and gasolin,
on the East Coast. 1t pointed ou
that the areas daily quota of gaso
line, for example. is 15.424,000 gal

CHICAGO, June 30-The Re-
publicans now have a party ma
chine. II was assembled at the
Chicago convention by dint of a
lot Of overtime and night work
by the party bosses who, after
near fight on the graveyard
shift, finally took the body of
the Bricker machine and riveted
it on to the chassis of the Dewey
machine. AS an afterthought, a
few of the sub-contractors who
had been tinkering with expert
mental Stassen, DirkSen and
Hutchinson machines, piled on
their accessory bits and pieces
the next morning.
When the contraption was
cranked up and given its trial
run at the closing session of the
thing functioned just like an
Chicago convention, the darn
old-time steam roller. The way
it flattened out opposition and
took hurdles on the obstacle
course, nominating both presl'
dental and vice presidential
candidates in two hours and as
minutes-an all-time record
was something TO make the
Democrats jealous. Never was
a steamroller so well oiled and
never did one have such momen-
tum.
AT present writing there is
only one part missing-a gadget
known as a Willkie. Somehow
it just didn't fit and so was left
off, though maybe it con be fas-
tened on as a bumper or fifth
wheel, later.

can people want TO 60 places,
when they want to get ashore
quickly, trust them TO get off
the horse and take speedboat. >
All right, call il a speedboat.
Call it an amphibious peep or an
alligator tank. But whatever
name you give it, in its initial
demonstration at Chicago il
functioned more like a BULLDOG
err.
Just who owns this machine
and who is going TO run it from
here on is not yet clear. The
designers are easy to guess at
from their finished product. The
engineering worked out in night
sessions at the Blackstone and
Stevens hotels shows all the
fine handiWork of Joe Pew of
Philadelphia, ALI Landon of
Kansas, Bob Taft, George Ben
der and Roy Moore of Ohio for
Gov. Bricker; j. Russell
Sprague, Herbert Brownell Jr.
and Edwin F. Jackie of New
York for Gov, Dewey, plus a
few of the more active COVER
nors and members of the Repub-
lican National Committee. IT
was all strictly inside political
planning 10 build smooth run
ming machine.
What happens next is that the
machine assembled at Chicago
goes through the modification
center where Candidate Dewey
will decide who is going TO run
this machine-the mechanics
who threw it together-the par
ty bosses-or the young pilot
himself.
In his speech Of acceptance,
Dewey indicated that he would
surround himself with the abb
est men and women TO be found
in America experienced IN
the task to be done and young
enough to do it,
Hopefully, that can be inter-
preted as meaning lot of the
old mechanics may be retired.
Also in his acceptance speech,
Dewey said the foreign policy
plank of the party platform was
the same thing as the Mackinac
Declaration. This is the first
modification to be installed on
the Chicago built machine.
SPEECH PLEASED
An acceptance speech is a
difficult thing TO make. Dewey
seemed to get by this first test
in good shape, as it seemed 10
please everyone. Dewey had
been working on his acceptance
speech even before he was draft
ed. After he was nominated, the
manuscript was gone over by
the governor advisers in CHI
cago, while he was flying west
from Albany, and the real rea-
son for holding his plane in
Cleveland was TO permit him to
confer by phone with some of
his rewrite men, who read him
proposed changes and got his APP
proval.
In the next four months Dew
ey will have occasion to make p
lot of other speeches in which he
can express his views more
frankly, indicating whether he
will take over this G.. O. p. ma
chine and run it, or whether il
will run him.

FRISCOE'S SEALS
 TO PERFORM HERE
20 Acts to Feature Zindah GrOttO's Circus at Stadi-
 um Monday

F'riscoe's seals, trio of fun-lov- ing mammals on a strict piscatorial diet, will be one of twenty great acts to be enjoyed at zindah Grot- to's 9th Annual Charity Circus which begins a weeks engagement on Monday next at Municipal Sta- dium on Watertown avenue.
 These highly trained seals are al- most human, responding to their trainer Capt. Harry Pickard in an intelligent manner seemingly aware of what is expected of them at all times. Of course, there are times when they reverse the procedure thereby provoking gales of laughter from the adults as well as the chil- dren with whom they are always top circus favorites next to the clowns.
 Friscoe's seals are always a stel- lar attraction at every performance
