grandeur with the years, but here
tofore it has been the playwright's
wont to smile rather bravely and to
make pretty jests to relieve the sad
ness OF that knowledge. Lovers
and Friends" is much more serious
and regretful in mood. not unlike
that which touches columns ad-
dressed to the lovelorn, which. as
we say, seems quite unlike Miss
Smith.
Now and then the wistfulness is
blown prettily askew by the play
wright's old breezy wit but not often
enough to modify the feeling that
she is taking most of her characters
much more seriously than they de-
serve.
Lovers and Friends" presents
Miss Cornell with the role of a
woman who fell rather unreasonable
in love at first sight with an Eng
llsh Army officer in World War I.
She chose him in preference to a
career in the theater which did not
seem to be coming on very well. a
decision doubly heightening the un-
reasonableness of her action.
All this is accomplished in a
prologue, prettily sentimental
thing of its kind. 1t goes from
there into first act into which the
usual assortment of English ro-
mantle comedy characters appear
They are the actress who is not
promiscuous, but is recklessly seeing
a male who is not cad, the shy:
serious author who has written a
dramatic hit as a sort of sabbatical
from his regular literary effort; and
a prim servant. There is more in
spiration in the fourth character. a
pretty, mysterious sort of young fe-
male who pops in as the playwright's
secretary and goes out with the nus
bands dangerous curiosity.
After that, the conflict is prima-
rily one between the charming. wise
wife and the girl for the affections
OF the husband. 1t is an exquisite
thing to watch SO far as Miss
Cornell is concerned from the mo-
ment Of her startled surprise

Explaining why he voted against

1t indirectly restricts the action OF
Congress In l942 in waving poll tax
and registration requirements for
service personnel. The 1942 law, he
said, waived those requirements FOR
all servicemen, in or outside the
United States, while the conference
report requires all servicemen in the
United States to send for State
ballots.
Senator Hatch took the view these

tarily change their laws.

Government rejection of union de-

vision Of social security laws caused
widespread work stoppages for 10
days last month that assumed the
proportion of general strike and
resulted in the governments seizing
control Of streetcar and railroad sys-

CThis is the first dispatch re-
garding the strikes permitted to
pass Paraguayan censorship
Bakers, construction workers
shoemakers, tailors and factory
workers joined in the strike, which
the government officially announced
had ended without any disturbances.
The government also announced
that workers contributions to the
social security fund would be re-
duced from per cent of their sal
aries to per cent.
The government dissolved the
construction workers, printers and
streetcar employees unions and con-
fiscated their funds for social well

Soldier Voting Bill
First Test Of Feud
Since Tax Revolt
By J. A. O,LEARY.

The State-cOntrOl soldier vot-
ing bill approved by House and
Senate conferees will offer the
first test OF relations between
Congress and the White House
since the tax bill revolt, assum-
ing both houses ratify the con-
ference report. The Senate will
act first, probably Tuesday.
At his press conference today,
President Roosevelt said the whole
crux of the problem is whether more
members of the armed services would
be given an opportunity to cast q
ballot under pending legislation than
under the present law.
Beyond that observation, the Chief
Executive refused to comment, telling
his news conference he had not seen
the compromise State control bill
approved by Senate and House con-
ferees last night.
Although the measure provides
for limited use of the administra-
tion's Federal ballot form overseas,
this use is subject to State ap-
proval. The States rights forces
carried off the lions share of the
decisions in the conference.
Ratification Expected.
Senators Green. Democrat, of
Rhode Island and Hatch, Democrat,
of New Mexico voted against the
compromise measure, indicating that
it Is disappointment to admins
tration supporters. The conference
vote was to 2.
Judging by previous roll calls,
however, the odds favor ratification
of the agreement by the House and
Senate. That will put up to Mr..
Roosevelt the question of whether
to sign it. veto 1t or let it become
law without his signature.
Before the final conference vote
last night, the section which en-
ables State to say whether any
Federal ballots shall be distributed
to its citizens in uniform was still
further amended, with conferees dis
agreeing on the Importance of the
latest change requiring that the
Federal ballot be authorized" by
State laws instead Of acceptable"
to Governors.
High Lights Of Bill.
High lights of the final draft
were:
All members of the armed forces
in Continental United States must
use the regular State ballot il they
want to vote
Federal ballots may be used over
seas, but only If these conditions are
met: The Governor must certify
by August l that the short Federal
voting form is authorized" by State
law: the individual overseas must
show he first applied for State
ballot by September and that 1t
had not reached him by october l.
Change Explained.
Up to yesterday the Governor was
required by the bill only to certify
that the Federal ballot was "ac-
ceptable" under the laws of his
State. Senator Hatch construed
substitution OF authorized" to
mean that, except in California,
State Legislatures would have to
ratify the Federal ballot before the
Governor could sanction its use.
California has already provided
that its State procedure shall con-
form to whatever plan Congress
adopts. Chairman Worley OF the
House .conferees contended the
change did not necessarily" mean
the legislatures would have to act

Japanese Have Lost
Third Of prewar Fleet,
Navy Official Says

One-third of the navy with which
Japan started the war has been de-
stroyed, and the American Fleet now
can cruise the Pacific looking fol

principal weakness of the Nippon

Mobility of the American Fleet
this naval authority continued, now
has reached the point aimed at for
35 years. Huge fleet trains-Such as
ships carrying fuel, materials and
supplies of all types-now accom-

for them to remain away from bases

in the South Pacific, then moved on
to pound enemy bases in the Mari

from its home base.
Three of the five carrier groups
that hit Truk, he said refueled at

quent attacks on the big Japanese
base at Saipan and nearby jap

from American forces early in the

With such mobility of the Ameri-
can Fleet, few enemy bases may be
considered secure from attack un-
less the japanese Navy should at
tempt to intercept United States
fleet movements. That possibility
exists, bait the naval authority said
he did not expect such action until
the Japanese are forced back so far
that they have to fight.
