For some reason, the president __ SOLDIERS WILL GET THE BALLOT and his organization are waging an all-out drive to blix’k the pass- There has been a lot of tliseussion about the so-called sol- dier vote bill before Congress, the question being whether the Kederal Government or the States should take charge of the program and arrange all the details. The dispute has been enlivened by news from the battle- fronts, all to the efteet that men in the service expect to east their ballots 111 the next Presidential election. Really. it doesn t make much difference whether the Federal Government or the States carry out the details. But. there seem to he distinct limita- tions on the amount of mailing matter that can be supplied to the men in the field and on the ships.

Senator Rufus Holman is a political phenomenon and can ’t be counted out yet. The Ore gon voter is inclined to agree with this view that although you can ’t find any Holman voters before the election, old Ruf emerges about two lengths ahead when the votes are counted. It was this way in 1932, 193(! ami 1940 and the infere nce is that it might be this way in 1944. FRANK'S GOT IT Frank S in atra’s got something Hitler never had.

C.—The ques tion of how best to provide a vote fo r those in the armed forces is the hot issue in Congress as this is w ritten. I mentioned this prob lem in a weekly le tte r back in November when the Lucas-Green Federal ballot b ill firs t appeared. A fte r six days of debate, the senate rejected the Lucas bill. Press and radio commentators were generally unfair in their re port of the senate action claiming Republicans had united w i t h southern democrats to defeat the bill. As a m etter of fact the par ties divided sharply. O f senate re publicans present when the roll was called on the bill, 12 voted for it and 18 voted against it. The democrats w'ere divided about even. The substitute bill passed by the senate was hastily drawn.

Howser pleaded guilty when a r raigned before Judge Carl E. W imberly and offered no state ment. Howser was accused, accord ing to the statement of D istrict Attorney J. V. Long, of repre senting to the county court that a tract of land near Drain did not contain merchantable timber of a value of more than $500.00. Basing its action upon the report, the court sold the land fo r the offered price of $500 and learned later that sale had been negotiated to a Drain logging concern fo r more than $9,000.00. The county has since recovered title and has taken over the sale contract, Howser paying to the county the amourtts, exceeding $2,000, already paid on the con tract.

In making this statement Mr. Johnson (kiintcd out that the units to In* provided through the con version program of the national housing agency are not included in the quota of dwellings to tic provided by new construction, cither privately or pubhel.v f i nanced. and owners of suitable properties, as well as lending in stitutions, buildeis and material dealers, are’ being urged to take part in this program. "The need for immediate fam ily accommodations ror workers iq war plants cannot be over-empha sized,” the FHA director pointed out. "The easiest and quickest way to provide these accommoda tions is through the use of exist ing structure«.'* Special financing arrangements are available under tbe federal housing administration's title I loan insurance program.

"In many instances w ith a comparatively s in a 11 amount of repair und remodeling work they cun be transfoi med into apartments providing housing accommodations for essential war workers and their families. The im portant thing to remember about the conversion program is that these badly needed dwelling units can be provided quickly, and vviili tbe use of a minimum amount of critical materials."

The b ill the Senate passed was definitely open to criticism as to detail but was correct in principle. I t recognized the fact that the congress does not have the right to over-ride state elec tion laws. The Lucas-Green pro posal, which the senate rejected, simply ignored the plain language of the constitution of the United States which denies the right of Congress to pass such a piece of legislation. Even before the senate acted, the house committee on the elec tron of president, vice president and senators and representatives in congress, of which I am a mem ber, had this legislation under consideration.
