BRITISH IN
 HEAVY VOTE
 YESTERDAY
Outcome of Conservative Socialist Struggle Hinges
 on.BaIIofs of Soldiers

LONDON, July 6.-The Conser- vative press maintained today that yesterdays general elections had almost certainly" resulted in a victory for Prime Minister Church. ills Government but Labor Party organs held the Conservatives had lost their absolute majoricy in Par lament.
 Results will not be known until July 26, after the absentee soldier vote is counted.
 Observers agreed there was a near record turnout estimated at almost 24,0O0,000 voters-80 percent of the eligible electorate of 30,000,- 00O-lured by good weather and hectic campaign battle between the Conservative program of free en- terprise and the Labor platform of partial naturalization of industry.
 The Daily Herald, Labor news paper, claimed the least optimistic forecast" gave Labor 266 seats in the new House of Commons as against the 163 members it had in the dissolved Parliament. It said there were confident predictions that the Tory (Conservative) vote was a minority of the total cast"
 The Conservative Daily Express said most cautious estimates gave a majority of 60 to 90 seats flor the government"
 At the time of dissolution the Conservative Party had 358 of the 615 seats in Commons, but with allied parties it had working majority of nearly 200 seats. With $40 seats in the new Commons it will take 321 for a party or bloc to have majority.
 Complicating factors included the soldier vote, the population shifts because of war work, and the To- year lapse since the last elections, which meant that about one-third of the eligible electorate never had voted before.
 The shifting of population and the German air blitz played havoc with election records. It was esti- mated that thousands who tried to vote found themselves disqualified because their names were lost from the polling registers
 Among those disenfranchised was Churchill himself He spent cleo tion day instead touring his con- stituency by car, shouting have you all voted?"

'0rqanized Ratket' on Medical Discharges for
 Soldiers Is Announced
HAMPSTEAD, N. Y, July 6.-Ex-

HAMPSTEAD, N. Y, July 6.-Ex- istence of a "complet, organized 'acket" whereby soldiers obtained fraudulent medical discharges" and transfers from hot outfits" due for combat duty was announced today by the First Air Force.
 Fee for discharges was several thousand dollars" and somewhat less for transfer to safe, secure branches of the Army, the Air Force Public Relations Office said in announcing results of an investi- gation begun last April into ''irreg- ularities" at Mitchell Field here.
 The announcement did not give the number of men who had obtain ed the fake discharges, but said most of them were from units in distant parts of the United States and not connected with the First Air Force"
 "Evidenct indicates" the Air Force statement said, that payments of money were made to certain un- scrupulous civilians in the metro politan area
 These civilians passed soldiers on ito military members of the con- spiracy at Mitchell Field, who then effected completion of the fraudulent processing" the Air Force said.
 The "sunningly planned and op- erated conspiracy" arranged to avoid detection, the statement continued, by mixing the fraudulent discharges in with the constant flow of legiti- mate ones obtained by wounded veterans flown here for processing and treatment.
 Mitchell Field, an aerial debarka- ticn port, received 4,O00 wounded a month from Europe.
 No names were made public by the First Air Force, which said it's in vestigation still was not complete. Court martial proceedings will be held later, it said.
 50 far" the statement said, there is no evidence to substantiate ru- mors of favoritism by those in command authority" and the com plex pattern of manipulations" evil dently was handled by persons in lower levels"

U. S. ARMIES GOT BOMBS,
 NOT SHELLS
Jet Propulsion Planes Also Delayed 10 Forces
 Fighting Ndzis

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Ameri- can armies fighting in Germany with cannon were sometimes idle for lack of ammunition but received huge tonnages of air bombs they couldn't use.
 Disclosing this today the Senate War Investigation Committee also said American delay in sending jet propulsion planes to Europe very nearly allowed the Germans, already far ahead in their production, to re- gain air supremacy over Europe.
 The unwanted air bombs, the committee said, were one type of 20-pounders in 800 pound clusters and another of 260-pound fragmen- tation bombs. The report said air force officers in the field testified the had no use for one tthe form er) and very limited use for the other"
 Witnesses in the United States contend that the theatre ordered these quantities to be shipped, whereas the unanimous testimony of officers in the theatre was that they did not desire these bombs and the bombs in effect were forced upon them"
 The committee said an artillery ammunition shortage in 105 and 155- millimeter calibers developed in Oc- tober, 1944, and never was over come, requiring the Seventh Army to take some of the available sup plies from the Italian front so it could land in southern France.

 In one of the most dramatically humane incidents of the Pacific war the U. s. s. Destroyer Murray inter cepted, stopped and searched the Japanese hospital ship Takasago Ma ru about 300 miles north of Wake Tuesday.
 The Murray's commander reported that boarding party from his ship searched the Takasago with the full cooperation of the Japanese con- manding officer, who said his vessel was on the way to Wake to evacu- ate the garrison's sick and wound ed.
 The Nipponese officer said his ship would remain at Wake for a few hours and then proceed to Japan
 The American commander permit ted the hospital ship to continue it's voyage
 The Murray intercepted the Taka- sago Maru again yesterday about 40 miles north of Wake, and again a boarding party searched the ship.
 They found it was carrying STA military patients from Wake. Of these 490 were Navy personnel and ASA Army personnel. After this visit and search, the Murray's com- mander told the hospital ship to continue her voyage to Japan.

The ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON It. Col. Robert s. Allen now on active
 service with the Army)

WASHINGTON = A significant, off-the-record meeting took place between Secretary of War Stimson, one-time Republican candidate for Governor of New York, and Demo- cratic Governor Herbert Lehman, five times Governor of New York, now head of UNRRA.
 Lehman has been greatly troub- led about the danger of acute starvation in Europe next winter, and fears the United States will get the blame. Actually, there is food in Europe but it is unevenly distributed and difficult to trans port to cities. Meanwhile, European railroads are overburdened.
 Ex-Governor Lehman, therefore, went to see Stimson to point out that. the gsU. s. Army had 100000 trucks in Europe, and he wanted to borrow 5O,O0O of them for food dis tribution.
 Simson listened briefly, but turn ed the subject to the political sit uation in Europe. He seemed much more interested in whether Europe could keep the peace, apparently forgetting that people with full stomachs are more peaceful than those half starved. Lehman got no definite answer, and still has been unable to get an answer from Stim- sons generals. They keep saying they need trucks for "deployment." BRASS HATS IN HOT WATER

EXILE POLISH GOVERNMENT E
 IN LIQUIDATION
Britain Takes Steps Follow ing Recognition of
 New Regime

LONDON, July 6.-The British took steps today to liquidate the ma chinery of the London Exile Polish government, following joint recogni- ton of the Polish Provisional Gov ernment of National Unity in War saw by the United States and Great Britain.
 What to do with the Exile Govern ment's army of 250,000 was about the only remnant of the Polish Prob lem" left to plague the Allies.
 The British Foreign Office an- nounced creation of an interim treasury committee for Polish ques- tions" to supervise the task of liquidation
 Only such essential activities of the London Poles as educational and hospital services for Polish citizens in England and care of refugees abroad will continue to be financed by the British government, the Foreign Office said.
 The London and Washington an- nouncements isolating the Exile re- gime, with which the United States and Great Britain had dealt throughout the war. emphasized that setting up of the expanded Warsaw government was only a step" in fulfilling the Yalta Big Three agreements.
 LONDON, July 6.-The repudi- ated London Polish Government called upon the 250,000 men in it's armed forces today to remain loyal an action which apparently chal- lenged the vending plans of the Big Three to give these men a choice between returning home or remaining abroad.
 Shorn of recognition by Britain and the United States, the exiled regime of Premier Tomafz Arcisze- wski declared that it would hand over its authority "soley" to a Government formed on free Polish soil.
