“pocket veto” provisions of the constitution. It was considered most unlikely that congress would take any further action on soldier vote legislation as urged by the President.

The President charged in his message that the bill could “fairly” be called nothing more than “a standing invitation to the several states to make it practicable for their citizens to vote.” Congress in passing the bill placed & certain responsibility on each state for action, Mr. Roosevelt said, and those in the armed forces “who want to vote but cannot” would understand that “the congress itself shares the responsibility through the complexities of this bill.”

said, “wholly inadequate to insure to servicemen and women as far as is practically feasible the same opportunity which they would have to vote if they were at home. “Because of the confusing provisions of the bill and because of the difficulty of knowing just what will be the practical effect of the bill in operation, it is impossible, for me to determine whether in fact, more servicemen and women will be able to vote under the new measure than under existing law.

‘States Must Help’

“That determination will largely depend upon the extent to which the states-co-operate to make the measure as effective as its provisions permit. In view of this situation, I have resolved the doubt in

and am permitting the bill to become law without my approval”

“No state or federal red tape should take from our young folk in the service their right to vote” Mr. Roosevelt said in appealing further for individual state action to authorize the use of federal

He asked congress to enact an amendment to the bill to authorize members of the armed forces who have not received their state ballots by a certain time, whether or not they have formally applied for them, to use the federal ballot without prior express authoriza- ! tion by the states. “If the states do not accept the federal ballot, that will be their responsibilities he said. “Under

More Entries Expected “The Bradford-Daniels-Ostrom organization is supporting Mr. Gates. Mayor Harry Baals of Pt. Wayne and Mayor Ross Castle of Connersville also are in the gubernatorial picture, but neither has announced. Many political observers believed that the entrance of Mr. Dawson into the gubernatorial race would cause a shifting of political groups, resulting in a final lineup of Jim Tucker and Ralph Gates vs. Homer Capehart and Charles Dawson, Mr, Gates owes his election as state chairman in 1941 to Mr. Tucker who with his coborts had sufficient power through the auto license bureau to bring about the ouster of Chairman Arch N.

They are at the front fighting with their lives to defend our rights and our freedoms. We must assure them their rights and freedoms at home so | that they will have a fair share in determining the kind of life to which they will return.” Governors Canvassed

(Soviet dispatches sald the Russians crossed the upper Prut in a two-day battle that cost the Germans extremely heavily after Russ army units seized river crossings ahead of sizable Nazi detachments. The Germans were reported unable to carry out their customary destruction at Cernauti because of the speed of the Soviet advance, but they left the city clogged with thousands of mines and booby traps. (The Czechoslovak government press bureau in New York reported that Czechoslovak underground forces, including hundreds of Russian war prisoners, have established contact with the approaching Russ army.)

SURPLUS OF EGGS IS PROBLEM HERE

{Continued From Page One)

Chain Store council, the state -egg board; state poultry association, the war food administration, Purdue university's agriculture department and the farm bureau's poultry department plotted a campaign to convince the housewife that eggs are her best buy from the standpoint of food value and thrift, The representatives also discussed an appeal to the government to hold its support price of 30 cents a dozen for eggs which would pay the farmers an adequate wage for their work. The congestion in the egg market was attributed to these factors: 1. A shortage of cold storage space. Seventy-three per cent of the space is now filled as compared with 57 per cent in 1043, 2. Egg dryers have an adequate stock and are unable to secure sufficient egg breakers to operate at capacity. 3. Cancellation of government contracts for dried eggs. Last year the government ordered 400 million pounds of dried eggs; this year the figure is set at 185 million pounds. 4. Cancellation of chick orders, resulting in hatching eggs going on the market. Hatcheries are running 17 per cent under that of 1 whereas a reduction of only $ per cent was requested. 5. Holding of current receipts by grocerymen and dealers, hop~ ing for results from price sup-
