that the plan would not re-

Farley Asks Dewey
To Broaden State 5
Service Vote Law
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 22.--James A.
Farley. State Democratic Chairman,
last night called the New York
State soldier vote law "a gold brick
law" and urged Gov. Thomas Z.
Dewey TO call special session of
the Legislature to remove "its obvi.
Gus defects"
Mr.. Farley spoke over the same
CHS network on which Coy. Dewey
q week ago reviewed his administra-
ton and termed the State war
ballot "a simple, workable formula
for soldier voting"
State ballots, listing all ofices
from President down to local ofilces,
viii be sent under the law to all
service personnel applying for them.
Ballots must be returned to the
War Ballot Commission by Novem-
Der 3, four days before election day,
and then forwarded to local boards.
MIR. Farley said the simplest way
OF allowing service men and women
to vote would be to send ballot to
every war voter whose name and
address was furnished by q relative.
He also said the November 3 return
date made 1t necessary for most war
voters to designate their choice OF
candidates several weeks before
election day.
"The present soldier vote law"
Mr.. Farley said, sis a monstrosity, q
reservoir of antiquities, and a per-
petration of deception against your
sons and daughters who, more than
any one else, deserve your protection
of their fundamental rights. which
they cannot guard because they are
in distant lands protecting you from
the holocaust Of war"
Mr.. Farley said that Gov. Dewey,
prominently mentioned as possible
Republican presidential nominee,
has been quite free In his use of
the word chaos in criticism of far
less important Federal matters"
He should certainly be equally as
Jealous in guarding against chaos in
a State matter which possibly may
be interviewer in the fabric of his
own destiny" Mr.. Farley said.

charged with seditious conspiracy.
Defense Objections Upheld.
Defense attorneys had objected to
various statements made as selec-
tion of a jury started Thursday.
Among these was reference by Mr..
Rogge to two previous indictments
in which some of the present de-
PENDANTS were named. The 80 per-
sons are being tried on a third in
dictment and the other two in
dictments are not at issue In the
present trial.
P. Bateman Ennis and w. e.
Faulkner, representing Gerhard
Wilhelm Kunze, former leader of
the German-American Bund, also
listed as prejudicial an exclamation
by another defendant, Edward
James Smythe. Smythe jumped up
during the courts questioning Of
taleSmen and shouted at the Judge,
referring to his outline Of the indict-
ment to veniremen: you've already
convicted us in the light of that
statement you've made" Kunze did
not subscribe to his charge and his
case was prejudiced by it, his attor-
neys contended.
During the conference Justice
Eicher went over the whole matter
of the type of questions which had
been asked prospective jurors and
the procedure involved, it was
learned, and his decision apparently
was based on general consideration
Of what happened Thursday.
While the selection If a jury will
have to start over Monday, virtually
no progress had been made at the
Thursday session. No juror had been
seated even tentatively.
Meanwhile, pending in the Court
of Appeals was petition by
Smythe's attorney, James j. Laugh
lin, to stay the trial until charges
that the defendants were being de-
prived Of their constitutional rights
couldsbe heard.
Objection was made particularly
to the courts refusal to investigate
defense charges that the venire had
been shadowed and otherwise in
vestigated by the FBI and that JUS
tice Eicher had refused to hear fully
defense objections to evidence and
motions presented to protect the de-
PENDANTS.
The court also was alleged to
have adjourned court abruptly
Thursday without hearing a series
of motions affecting the constitu-
tional rights of the defendants. It
also was cited that the judge had
restricted the defense to 10 peremp-
tory jury challenges instead Of al
lowing 10 for each defendant.
