and house that it all but died.
The new plan, sent on its way
toward senate and house floors.
Where conference compromises are
usually accepted, provides:
1. A federally - distributed short-
form ballot for the armed forces
to vote for president, vice president
and members of congress.
2. It can be used by voters of
states which have their own ab-
sentee ballot machinery only if the
governors certify before Aug 1 that
the federal form is acceptable un-
der state law.
3. Voters from states which have
no absentee voting law can use the
federal form only if the governor
certifies that it will be welcomed
as a bonafide vote.
4. No serviceman or woman
can get a federal ballot unless
the voter has applied for a state
ballot and swears it hasn't been
delivered by Oct. 1.
* **
The Oct. 1 deadline automatically
rules federal ballots out of primaries
—the controlling elections in many
southern states. In addition, states
which accept the federal ballot must
accept all its terms: waiver of poll,
tax payments and local registration
for armed service voters.
California is the only state which
has specific approval of federal bal-
lots In its election laws. The pro-
vision was adopted in a recent ses-
sion of the legislature.
Legislatures of 20 states are meet-
ing now, or soon will be. Eleven
states plan no legislative session
this year.
Conferees said, however, that the 1
compromise may not require action
by legislatures. In most cases, they
said, states can accept the federal
ballots by an expression from the
governor or attorney general that

The contention of Jack &
Heintz—the party was staged
so that senior member Bill
Jack could get his ideas over
to congress—is that war firms
should be permitted to retain '
profits of five percent after
taxes have been paid.
Principal speaker at the WPB
exhibit was Vice President Wallace
who praised labor-management
committees and the ideas which
they have produced to step up pro-
duction.
"There has been great coopera-
tion between labor and manage-
ment," he said, with the govern-
ment stepping in and helping out
where it can. I hope this situation
can continue to produce goods . of
peace.”
