The compromise soldier vote bill which has passed the U. 8, Senate and now is pending house action provides for the use of state ballots by soldiers overseas except in cases where the state permits the use of federal ballots - by soldiers who do not obtain the state ballot, :
Party Views Differ
THE REPUBLICAN belief is that all state ballots can reach the soldiers in time and be returned in time to be counted, thus eliminating any necessity for eny other type of ballot. : The Democratic viewpoint, largely favorable to the federal ballot idea, is that it is up to the Republicans, since they control the legislature, to decide what type of a state. soldier vote bill to pass at the coming special session. . “If the Republicans don’t permit the counting of federal ballots which would be used only in case the boys couldn't get their state ballots, then the Republicans will be to blame for those Who didn't get to vote,” said one Democratic leader. Governor Schricker said today he likely will await presidential action on the compromise bill before issuing a special session call.

price structure. “I can conceive of no greater contribution than this to the
strength and vitality of the American economy, once the war is won.” He contended that the work of the OPA—much criticized and attacked since its inception—will be written in history “as one of the best jobs done during the war.”

the seven delegate-at-large posts, with one going to a Dewey candidate and the other two to candidates who neither pledged nor indicated a preference. In addition, an unpledged, but proWillkie candidate, was lepding for two of the four seats at stake in the state's .two congressional districts with a delegate backing Dewey and one unpledged candidate in front for the other two posts. Willkie, the 1940 G. O. P. candidate and an avowed contender for the 1944 nomination, was the only one who campaigned for the primary. There was no contest in the Democratic primary which presented a slate solidly in favor of President Roosevelt for a fourth term.
- What Returns Show
Returns from 253 of 296 precincts for the delegate-at-large seats gave: Former Governor Huntly N. #psulding (unpledged)—13,008. Governor Robert O. Blood (unpledged, but pro-Wilikie)—12 834. Former U. 8 Senator George ' Moses (ynpledged)—11350, Robert W. Upton (unpledged, but pro- Willkie) —8508, National Committeeman Robert P. Burroughs (unpledged, but Will. kie's state campaign manager)— TLL Frank J, Sulloway (unpledged, but pro-Willkie) 8333. Charles A. Holden (pledged to Dewey) —T7408. Under New Hampshire law, a candidate who is pledged to a particular candidate must vote for that candidate at the nominating convention until given written permission to switch his ballot. In the congressional contests, Former U. 8. Rep. Arthur B. Jenks, unipledged, but pro-Willkie, and Thomas J. Manning, pledged to Dewey, were leading in a six-man contest for the two seats in the first district. In the second, Sherhan Adams . and Grace Batchelder, both unpledged, were leading.
(TRAFFIC IN ‘LABOR RENTING’ CHARGED
WASHINGTON, March 15 (U.P). «Congress received charges today that war profiteers conducting a *“labor-renting traffic” were hiring out workers to war firms for as much has $54 a day with the apparent approval of the army and navy. . A report by a special military affairs investigating committee said the workers—craftsmen, designers, technicians and other skilled types —-were hired at rates from 65 cents to $275 an hour and then rented out to war firms for as much as $3 an hour, $4.50 for overtime, $6 for double time and $6 a day subsistence and travelling expenses. The report, signed by the milltary affairs committee chairman, Andrew J May (D. Ky.) and Chair- . man Carl T. Durham (D. N. C) of ‘the investigating committee, said the practice was widespread and was ' employed “particularly” on oost-plus-fixed-fee contracts where the charges are passed on to the taxpayers. os

Sentiment Tested
SEVERAL NEUTRAL observers made a Theck of district and county leaders attending the G. O. P. editorial association meeting here Saturday to determine sentiment in the TuckerCapehart senatorial race. They found that the sentiment today, as reported by the various leaders contacted, is almost evenly divided with both having plenty of strength. This finding, if true, can be viewed enthusiastically by both camps. The Capehart boys can feel very much encouraged, because they hae come a long way already—they started off several months ago with practically no regular organization support outside their own district, the seventh, and now they have a sizable amount of it, including the support of the district organiza. tion here. (The 11th district has the biggest block of delegates in the state convention.) ‘The Tucker supporters can view the finding with jubilation, because they've got so much aid and haven't really started their came paign yet. : Of course, no one can actually calculate strength until after the convention delegates are selected in the May 2 primary.

—House Democratic Leader John W. McCormack last night denounced as an “obvious political movement”
the establishment by house Republicans of a special 25-man com= mittee to study post-war tax reforms. 4 McCormick said the move was “unjustified” because the Republicans in congress have had, and continue to have, every opportunity to discuss tax problems on -established committees, : “Knowing the desperation of the Republican leaders,” he said, “no one need be greatly surprised at this obvious political movement, but in time of war, I believe it will ap-
