Voting Chance for All
Soldiers, Wish of F. R.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 (AP)
President Roosevelt declared
today, he had simple policy on
the question of votes for sol
diersthat every soldier should
be given an opportunity to vote
unless combat circumstances pre
vented it. -
He enunciated the policy at a
press-radio conference in re
sponse to a request for comment
on the soldier vote bill pending
in congress. He said he had not
rf.-ad the legislation and hadn't
the faintest idea whether the
measure as passed by the senate
would give soldiers the opportun
ity of which he spoke.
The senate-approved version In
effect handed the problem back
to the Individual states.
Asked whether he thought "fed

plement" the policy stated by
him, Mr. Roosevelt said he was
sure lt is needed.

Workers union for a bargaining
agency election at the Hoquiam
plant of Rayonler, Inc., closed
now for two weeks by a strike.
Dr. George Bernard Noble, re

NLRB felt that such a stop would
break the master contract Ray
onler now has' with two unions
ot AFL workers, which includes
some 34 other plants. The board
acted ibout six weeks ago on a
petition filed last fall.
At present, he added, the War
Labor board nan no case before

Von Reuther, Who
Scuttled Nazi Navy
In 1919, Passes On
LONDON, Dec. 21. (AP)
The German DNB agency said
today that Vice Admiral Ludwlg
von Reuter, 75, who ordered the
scuttling of the German fleet in
Scapa Flow In 1919, died today
of heart disease.
Basing his, action upon an or
der of Kaiser Wllhelm, issued In
1914 at the start of the world
war, that no German ship must
be allowed to fall Into the hands
of the enemy, von Reuter, then
a rear admiral, ordered the bat
tle flags run up and the sea valves
opened. As the ships settled, the
crews took to the boats, and some
of the British vessels, their com
manders Infuriated by the coup,
fired on them, 24 Germans being
killed or wounded. ;
The English tried to get lines
aboard the German ships and tow
them to safety, but they rescued
only the battleship Baden, three
light cruisers and 18 torpedo
boats. All the others went down
with flags flying, 11 ships of the
line, five battle cruisers, eight
small cruisers, 50 torpedo boats
and a number of auxiliary craft.
Years later some of them were
raised, rusted hulks, of little value
even as scrap.
Von Reuter was arrested, charg
ed with violating the terms im
posed by the armistice, and sent
to a prison camp to await trial.
But resentment against him died
down, the charges were not press
ed and he was released.

THIS CHRISTMAS
HEIP TO RESTORE PEACE ON EARTH
THIS year our memories of other happier Christ
maiei Are more vivid than ever. The stockings,
the trees, the carols, the family reunions memories
of all of these make us yearn more strongly than ever
for the safe return of our husbands, brothers, sons
and daughter who are far from home.
So the foremost hope of all of us is that peace shall
once more return to this earth and soon.
You can help to speed the day of victory and peace
by giving War Bonds and Stamps this Christmas.
Every War Bond, every Stamp; you buy and give
helps mould more bullets load more shells launch
more ships lift more planes into the skies I
Every War Bond, every Stamp, you buy and give
will help to dictate the terms of the Armistice and
write a peace that will endure.
: So give U. S. War Bonds and Stamps to everyone
on your Christmas list. Give and give generously!
Remember every War Bond and Stamp is more
than r. present for the one who receives it. It's a gift
of peace and happiness and safety for some soldier or
sailor besides
care some time before telling of
the beatings, Elder said.

could be exiled for five to 10
