CAPITOL (By Charles A. Halleck, Congressman, 2nd District.) (Note: With the 82tad Congress moving toward adjournment or recess later this week, this will be the last of the current series of Capitol Reports. Should the Congress go back into session later this year, they will be resumed.) A half dozen or so election reform bills have been proposed for last minute consideration by the Congress. They have been the subject of careful examination by the House Subcommittee on Elec- ( tions, on which I serve as ranking Republican member. A complicating factor is re-

1 fleeted in a brief prepared for the subcommittee by the American Law Section of Congress. This brief sets out that a question of constitutionality exists on whether the Federal government can suspend State registration or poll tax requirements. It is possible that final action will not be taken before the Congress goes home. This will not mean, however, that all service personnel will thereby lose their right to vote in the national elections. Actually, only two states — North Carolina and New Mexico —do not have provisions for absentee voting for service personnel. Moreover, the record of our first attempt to provide a Federal ballot fori members of the armed forces during World War II does not any widespread need for such machinery. In 1944 Congress enacted Public Law 277. Under this statute the states were given an option as to whether or not they would accept Federal ballots. Twenty agreed, although all 48 certified that they had state provisions for absentee voting.

So the government printed 7,&00,000 Federal ballots for the 19419 1 election. Not until later was it learned how overly-optl-mlstlc this estimate of need really was. A post-election check disclosed that only of them were voted. Another significant study revealed that in ten states which had authorized use of the Federal ballots 28,136 were used — representing per cent of eligible servicemen voters. At the same time in these states 446/0'74 G. l. — <314.6 per cent of those qualified to vote, used their regular state ballots. I don’t want to be misunderstood in this matter. The righf to vote is a precious American privilege, and it shouldn’t be denied anyone. But the matter of determining eligibility and of setting up appropriate machinery to safeguard the integrity of elections traditionally has been a state prerogative. The Congress, it seems to me, should proceed carefully toward the enactment of any legislation that would encroach on that right. Do we want to wind up with Federal control of the ballot box. I think not. Service personnel, incidentally, aren’t the only ones who sometimes temporarily lost their right to vote. I have a letter on my desk from a Second District resident who is being moved by his company to another state. Because of residence requirements he won’t be able to vote ih the national election, a situation which he strongly resents. And yet, establishment of residence as a voting requisite has developed, through necessity, as a vital part of the balloting machinery. There are quirks in our election laws which should be ironed out. Uniformity of state laws is highly desirable, but there is no sound reason why these things can’t be worked out through cooperation. . BIRTHS ' Mr. and Mrs. Robert B.
