TaImadge Asks Democrat.
To Nominate Macarthur
By the Associated Drag.

By the Assoc.a lated Press.
EASTMAN, Ga, Feb. 23.-Former
Gov. Eugene Talmadge OF Georgia
believes Southern Democrats should
seek nomination of Gen. Douglas
Macarthur as Democratic nominee
for President.
The suggestion brought immediate
commentator from Senator Van
denberg, Republican, OF Michigan
who has been influential in the move
to name Gen. Macarthur as COP
standard bearer.
Mr.. Talmadge outlined his pro-
posal In an address to the Eastman
Lions Club last night.
Douglas Macarthur is a Southern
man, born in Arkansas" the former
Governor declared. His wife is
from Murfreesboro, Tenn. He can
carry the responsibility as com
mander in chief of our Army and
Navy better than any other citizen
His nomination would mean his
election"

Conferees Appear
HopelessIy Divided
Over Soldier Vote
BY the Associatee Press,


Congressional negotiations for
a service vote compromise that
would send Federal ballots to
the armed forces crumbled
rapidly today.
Unable to agree among them
selves, House conferees prepared a
formal demand that the Senate
abandon the uniform Federal ballot
bill and accept instead States
rights measure leaving service
voting to the individual States.
The Senate conferees probably will
respond to this by breaking off
negotiations altogether.
Stalemate Looks Final"
Failure to agree on some pro-
cedure for registering the millions
of votes held by members of the
armed services is bound to have
explosive repercussions during the
coming political campaign.
Senator Green, Democrat, of
Rhode Island, co-author of the ad-
ministration's Federal ballot plan
and chairman Of the Senate con-
ference group, said the present
stalemate 'looks final"
Il suppose if the Senate con-
ferees refuse to recede then we'll
go back and report that We can't
agree he added. II certainly don't
expect the Senate conferees to make
a counterproposal."
Prospects for a compromise blew
up yesterday just after the conferees
had believed they were getting some
place at last.
Worley Suggestion Spurned.
The followers of Representative
Rankin, Democrat, of Mississippi.
leader of the Southern states
rights" Democrats, spurned a sug-
gestion by Representative Worley,
Democrat, of Texas to authorize
distribution of Federal ballots and
leave it to the States to decide
whether to accept them. In ex-
change Mr.. Worley would have re-
pealed Federal law waving local
registration and poll tax payments
as voting qualifications for those in
uniform.
Mr.. Rankin took one glance at the
Worley plan and said it overcame
his constitutional objections to the
Federal ballot, then he took another
look and decided it didn't-"not by
a jugful."
IT'S still Federal ballot" he told
a reporter, and all the perfume of
Arabia won't make the Federal bal
lot smell any sWeeter."

COMMUNITY SING

The Community sing sponsored by Douglas residents for Christmas Eve, turned out to be a very well attended affair and an enjoyable one. Charles Koelsche and his band, Noreen An drews, Mae Cuthbert, Carol Rout- sala, Curtis Bach, Shirley Edwards, Larry Pusich, Betty Kibby and Helen Isaaks were on hand and gave two very good selections on their instruments starting the pro- gram. Another member of the band, Miss Lucille GoetZ, was on hand to help in the singing. She is pianist for the band Following several se- lections, the Rev. Robert Treat, who was invited from Juneau, was asked to give word of prayer. Mrs. James Parsons was at the portable organ loaned by Pastor Nickels of the Alaska Evengelistic Society, and Mrs. L. s. Grant led the crowd in singing, which included all the fav- orite Christmas carols, many of which were requested from the sing CTS. After the sing, bags of candy bars were distributed to all the chil- dren by Val and Alice Poor as a Merry Christmas greeting.
