Federal Vote For Soldiers Fees Confident In Ballot Debate
Washington January 13. Supporters of a federal ballot for soldiers voting push for federalization despite states rights opposition. Rep Rankin believes the House will pass a bill keeping election machinery at state level while Rep Visseane argues civil rights justify a federal system. Twenty two organizations back a single federal ballot as crucial for the 1944 elections. Secretary Stimson notes absentee ballots from 48 states would be hard to manage. Hewins promoted to commander at Camp Lejeune.
