velt's query as to the acceptability
of the federal ballot in this state.
"The attorney general and elec
tion officials are still studying the
provisions (of the federal act)
looking to coordination with the
Oregon laws any features which
would expedite soldier balloting in
this state," Snell said.
The governor indicated that he
would have a "yes" or "no" an
swer to the president's inquiry as
soon as this study is completed.
"Under Oregon laws all service
men and women from this state

casting complete ballots," the gov

is understood, however, that air
mail service will be provided in
delivery and collection of overseas
ballots.
"Oregon's legislature and elec
tion officials have already taken
necessary steps to insure soldier
voting but you may be assured,
Mr. President that should subse
quent developments indicate the
necessity for further action, Ore
