NEW YORK, Aug. 24 (flV
Because 11 states will not count
their soldier votes on election
day, November 7, It is possible
thnt the outcome of the 1944
presidential election will remain
In doubt for several weeks after
the polls close.
Should the election be unusu
ally close, the winner might not
be known until as late as Decem
ber 7, when the canvass of Ne
braska's absentee vote could de
termine whether the state's sev
en electoral votes would be cast
for President Roosevelt or Gov
ernor Thomas E. Dewey. , .
Two Million Absentees
These possibilities grow out of
an Associated Press survey
which indicates that more than
2,000,000 men and women in the
armed forces have applied for
absentee ballots and that, by the
most conservative estimates of
state election officials, approxi
mately twice that number will
vote in November.
The soldier vote is likely to be
decisive in most of the 11 states
which do not immediately tabu-
late it, and the 11 including
Pennsylvania with 36, California
with 22 and Missouri with 1,
have a combined electoral vote
of 116. President Wilson's elec
toral margin over Charles Evans
uugnes in ibio was only 23.
.' November 22 Counting
In Pennsylvania, wherp nffi,
elals expect 200,000 to 300,000
soldier ballots, the absentee vote
will be counted November 22.
California, whose secretary of
state predicts a service vote of
iro.uuu to auu.ooo, will not can
vass it until November 24. Mis
souri, receiving more than 1000
ballot aPDlications dailv. will
start counting absentee votes the
iiiuay aiier election day.
Will Defer Count
"Of the states which will defer
their soldier vote, count, eight
gave j-resmeni nooseveu a total
of 99 electoral votes in 1940. The
other three gave Wendell L.
Willkie, 17.
'-Besides Nebraska, Pennsyl
vania, California and Missouri,
the states which will add up
tome oc all f their soldier votes
after election day are: Colorado,
'x electoral votes, November
22; Delaware, three, November
9: Florida, seven, November 17
North Dakota, four, December 5;
Rhode Island, four, December 4
Utah, four, November 27; and
Washington, eight, November 27.

Stimson Says Nazi Hopes
Of French Defense Waning
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 OP)
Secretary Stimson said today al
lied military victories , coupled
with the rising of French forces
have shattered German hopes of
making a prolonged stand even
in northern Jrrance.
The secretary of war told a
news conference:" '
"This has been an historic
week the climax of the battle
of northern France, the forward
surge of the allies in southern
France, the liberation of Paris
and now Romania s abandon
ment of the axis.
"On every - - side Germanv
weakens. Now is the time for
us to muster all out strength and
unity for the final blows.
The liberation of Paris bv th
French people themselves after
our own American forces had
half-encircled the city is a fit
ting demonstration of the wan
ing power of the nazis and the
reDirtn of freedom."
Nearly Liberated . .
Stimson said that alreadv the
great bulk of metropolitan
France has been liberated, for all
practical purposes, by the com
bined actions of allied armies
and the French DeoDle them
selves. In the midst of success.
he reminded, it still is necessarv
to remember that a substantial
number of-divisions of the Ger
man fifteenth army in the Calais
area were not yet in combat.
Standing north of the Seine riv
er, he said, they undoubtedly
will seek to reorganize such
seventh army units as manage to
escape from Normandv and In
crease, their strength.
"Allied air and erouriri force
with teamwork and -Dower."
Stimson said, "are in the midst
of effective action to undermine
and crush the. ability of the Ger
mans to make a Droloneed stand
in northern France." -r
Menace to Rhone .
Stimson said the sriMtapiilnr
advance of an armored force of
the 7th army in southern France,
pushing beyond Grenoble,
mreatens to cut the Rhone in its
upper regions.- ruining German
pians lor a nard fought with
drawal up the valley of that
river from the coast. It also has
sealed off all direct routes of
communication between the Ger
man forces in France and Italy.
Pockets of resistance, in some
of which the nazis are fighting
bitterly, still exist in southern
and western France, the secre
tary saia, out iney soon will
be as isolated as the Japanese in
the eastern Marshalls or New
Britain.
Defense Area
Stimson said the only area left
for a German attempt at a real
defense is a region of the last
war's battlefields in northern
ranee. But the enemy s supply
and reinforcement routes Into
this territory-are under constant
air patrol and attack, he added,
as-far as the interior of Belgium
ana me uerman Doroer.
In the past week, . Stimson
said, allied .planes destroyed
2279 railway cars of all kinds
and destroyed or damaged more
than 800 locomotives. Now they
are concentrating on barges and
small boats, while keeping up
their attacks on' German trucks,
tanks and troops concentrations.
