Order to Allow
PIebiscite Time

Employees of the Army Finance
Once were indignant this morning
when it appeared that the time they
took to vote in the District plebis-
cite would be deducted from their
annual leave.
What made them especially angry
was the fact that their colleagues
from Maryland and Virginia are
being given the usual two hours off
to vote without time deduction.
When The Star called to check
this report, Army officials said the
order had been modified on receipt
of new War Department order and
that the employees would get an hour
off to vote without its being sub
tracted from their leave The en-
ployes will be permitted to end their
day at pm. instead of the usual
5 o'clock quitting time.
Army officials said the Maryland
and Virginia employees were given
the two-hour period because they
have longer way to travel" from
the Office to their voting places.

Limitations Statute Bars
Action in $4,000 Theft
~ the Asxo<iotsd Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5.-A 46-
year-old former post Office clerk has
confessed. postal inspectors said to-
day, that he stole $4,000 in cash
from mail sack in 1887.
But, they explained. he can not be
prosecuted for the theft because no
indictment was returned within the
three-year period specified by the
statute of limitations.
However. Treasury officials were
interested in the case, because the
man failed to pay income tax on
the $4,000.
w. S. Palmer. special postal inves-
tigator here from Washington,
quoted the man as confessing he slit
a registered pouch en- route from the
Federal Reserve Bank to an Oakland
bank and grabbed the first thing 1
got my hands on"
1t was small canvas bag contain
ing $4,000 in currency. He said he
concealed it in his garage.
The man remained postal clerk
for two years and then went into
business for himself. Eventually he
lost every cent of the money.

South Watches votinq
|For Possible Effect
Ion Committed Posts
BY The Assoeioisd Press

ATLANTA, Nov. 5.-The possible
effect of the result on racial rela-
tions was involved today as South
erners voted their traditionally
straight Democratic ticket to pile up
an early lead for the party in the
fight for control of the Eightieth
Congress.
Loss of Democratic majority repre-
sentation on committees could bring
to the congressional floor proposed
legislation bitterly and successfully
fought by the Southerners hereto
fore in committee, with the race
issue admittedly squirting them on.
The Fair Employment Practices
Committee bill is an example. The
present House Rules Committee,
made up of eight Democrats-five
of them from the Southland four
Republicans, has kept the measure
of the floor.
A switch in party representation
on the committee, Southerners say,
might bring the bill and the night
out in the open quickly.
Southern Senators and Represent
atives, with few exceptions, contend
passage of such legislation would
disrupt racial relations. They say
it would require Southern employers
to hire Negroes for jobs held by
whites since reconstruction days.
This poses the question Of the ef-
feet on the South,s segregation laws.
While watching the national pic
ture today and trying to weigh its
possible results on their pattern of
life, the South will be keeping an
eye on Alabama and ballot issue
directly affecting the races.
Alabamans vote on proposed
constitutional amendment admit
tedly designed to make 1t more diff
ficult for Negroes to vote.
The proposal, known as the Bos-
well amendment, would do two
things:
l. Require prospective voters to be
able to understand and explain, +"
instead of merely read and write,
any section Of the United States
Constitution apd to be of good
moral character"
2. Eliminate the present provision
that any one Vho owns property
taxable at $3.50 q more can vote
regardless OF whether he can read or
write.

he was surprised at the heavy
vote. Prior to the election he said
that he did not expect the vote to

primary. On the basis of first reports
observers now are predicting vote
of from 5000 to 5000 as foreseen by
Republicans.
In Alexandria. after the polls had
