for much discussion in other south
ern states, notably Alabama and
Florida.
After Georgia repealed the poll
tax, Sen. Lister Hill of Alabama
and three Alabama congressman
came out in favor of repeating their

however, turned thumbs down, and
declined even to remove the culmu-

The law excuses a voter from the

The Tennessee legislature re-

Since then, however, the privilege

MARINE RAIDERS' i. CLOSING TONIGHT
 AS CApIT0L'S BILL

A beautiful wartime romance pro- vides the emotional angle in Marine Raiders" RKO Radios gripping pie ture of the famous fighting corps. This feature is at the Capitol for the last times tonight.
 Starring Pat O'Brien, Robert Ryan and Ruth Hussel, the film deftly blends it's love story between Ryan and Miss Hussey with vivid scenes of Marines on Guadalcanal, in big scale invasion of the Philippines and in elaborate glimpses of the rigorous training of 'rookle' Ma rines for jungle combat.
 The romantic episodes take place in Northern Australia, where O'Brien and Ryan are sent to re- cuperate after the Canal affair, and again, as they are sent back to par ticipate in an island invasion. Said to be the finest scenes of their kind ever embodied in a service picture, these episodes definitely establish the -Hussey duo as a brilliant TO- mantle team.

(continued from Page One)

Even more they hope that Stalin will agree there is no need for a veto on the right to discuss. But a hot debate has been raging oyer what to do if Russia reaffirms its stand.
 Virtually all United States dele gates except Stettinius are reported urging that the delegation make a strong statement of it's position and carry the fight to the con- ference floor, if necessary In such an instance there is every prospect that the Russian view would be voted down-for many small na- tions are becoming quite short tempered about the entire veto situation.
 State Department advisers, how ever, are advocating that the dele gation move cautiously, in order to avoid arousing new Russian fears and antagonisms, and avoid blowing up the issue unduly.
 One effect of real fight on the point, some delegates argue, would be to recapture from Russia some of the moral leadership which Foreign Commissar Molotov won on such issues as promise of 'inde- pendence" for colonial peoples early in the conference.
 Stettinius is reported to feel that a decision to make fight is of such importance it should be made by MT. Truman as matter of highest foreign policy. sy s
