New Soldier Vote Legislation Seen Unlikely
Washington April 7 GP A holiday bound Congress read with interest to say President Roosevelts suggestions for changing the service vote but there were no indications that anything would be done. Senate Leader Barkley Virginia told reporters that the federal war ballot would be made available to service men in this country as well as overseas and in use facilitated but he declined to predict congressional action. The President had proposed changes permitting all persons in uniform in use the federal ballot if they failed to get a state ballot by December 1. Senator Taft Ohio said he would not back such a plan and Navy changes were unlikely. The new law effective today without the Presidents signature makes federal ballots available only to military personnel overseas and then only after the voter has requested but not received a State ballot by December 1. Senator Green Rhode Island said he hoped states would not refuse to certify the federal ballot under state law. Green and Senator Lucas Illinois planned to introduce amendments embodying the Presidents suggestions. Congress was ready to recess until April 12 for Easter.
