Service Men May Get Vote Chance
Washington July 14 The House Rules Committee faced a push to act on a bill granting absentee voting to eligible soldiers and sailors for the November election. Rep Ramsey urged quick committee action before the war tax debate, while Chairman Sabath warned opposition could stall.
