Amendment Proposed To Allow Congress Soldier Vole Control By J. A. O’LEARY. Speedy adoption of a consti tutional amendment giving Con gress definite power to arrange for soldier voting by Senator O’Mahoney, Democrat, of Wyom ing as a solution of an issue that has aroused sharp disssentlon on Capitol Hill. Pointing out that the prohibition amendment to the Constitution was repealed In one year, Senator O’Mahoney predicted the Congress and the people could act In a much shorter time to protect the voting rights of the armed forces. This approach to the problem would rec ognize the States-right argument that Federal balloting machinery, such as the Senate rejected re cently, would have been unconsti tutional. Senate passage of the Eastland McKellar-McClellan substitute, call ing on the States to pass absentee ballot laws for their servicemen, touched off discord in that body, and the problem is still confronting House leaders after the recess. Speed Is Urged. “I believe that a constitutional amendment should be introduced on the first day of the new session,” said Senator O’Mahoney, “giving Congress the power by law to pro vide for the participation of soldiers in the coming election and for the counting in every State of the bal lots which they shall cast under such law.” The Senator expressed confidence that if the House and Senate would pass early in January the necessary resolution submitting such an amendment, “special sessions of the Legislatures can and will be held before the end of that month to ratify the amendment.” There is on the statute books now a law, passed by Congress in 1942, authorizing the War and Navy De partments to distribute to all ser vicemen post cards to be used in writing home for regular State absentee ballots, but supporters of the new Federal ballot proposal contend that method is cumber some and ineffective in getting ballots to and from soldiers scat tered all over the world. The 1942 act set aside registration and poll tax requirements for servicemen during the war. The Green-Lucas bill, which the Senate rejected, proposed a simpli fied Federal ballot, on which ser vicemen could vote for President, Senators and Representatives, either by name or party designation. A serviceman would have retained the right, if he preferred, to send home for a regular State ballot covering all local as well as national candi dates. It would have set up a Fed eral War Ballot Commission to supervise the distribution of ballots and their return to the States. Changes in Bill Studied. Since the Senate acted, those who believe it will not be practical to give all servicemen a chance to vote without a simplified Federal ballot have been considering the possibility of revising the defeated Green-Lu cas measure to give the States more definite power to pass on the validity of the ballots, except to retain the exemption from registration and poll tax. In offering his solution of the difficulty last night, Senator O’Ma honey said: “Few people will doubt that, when the Congress of the United States in pursuance of its constitutional power to raise and maintain armies takes the young men out of the Nation from their homes and their business and places a gun in their hands to defend the national exis tence, it can also protect them from the loss of their privilege to par ticipate in Federal elections, just as it has endeavored to protect them against the permanent loss of their jobs. “It must be recognized, however, that in the United States all public officials both State and Federal, have no power or authority except as granted by law, and that the constitutions of the several States are superior to all State statutes, while the Constitution of the United States is, by its own terms, the su preme law of the land. Elections Safeguarded. "All of the States of the Union have laws designed to safeguard the integrity of all elections and some of them provide by their constitu tions that only those ballots pre pared and distributed according to State law may be counted, and only those persons may vote who com ply with prescribed rules and regulations. We can not close our eyes to the fact that State officers are governed by these laws and these constitutions and can not be released from their obligation to observe their provisions except by a superior law. An amendment to the Constitution of the United States would be such a superior law. "I believe that the people of the United States and the Congress should recognize this constitutional situation, and instead of hurling heated epithets at one another should undertake immediately to abolish all constitutional obstacles that may be deemed to stand be tween the soldiers of this country and their right to vote in the next election.” Prohibition repeal took exactly 368 days after the resolution was introduced December 2, 1932, he re called. It passed the Senate Feb ruary 16, 1933, and the House four days later. In less than 10 months the required number of States rati fied it. Senator O’Mahoney said he feels that every man and woman In the armed forces "ha* paid the equiva lent of a poll tax and has registered In a sufficient manner to enable them to vote.” Hillman Joins Froponenta Further support for a Federal ballot for the armed forces, mean whilt, came from labor and from Senator Lucas, Democrat, of Il linois, co-author of tho recently rejected bill. Sidney Hillman, chairman of the CIO Political Action Committee, telegraphed Democrat and Repub lican party heads “ws believe that re-afflrmation at this time of your unequivocal eupport for a uniform, simple Federal ballot, administered by a bl-partisan Federal ballot commission, would do much tq re assure the families of our h'ferolc servicemen.” "I boldly assert," Senator Lucas mid, "that It la not a question of destroying States’ rights; It Is a question of protecting human rights. Members of the armed forces cannot be relegated to a condition of sec ond-class citizenship.” ■vary time you lick a War savings «am» pm ha* 0* tka kata NEW YORK.—IT’S COLDER OUT THERE—If you are suffering from the cold, pity this Coast Guardsman, Chief Boatswain’s Mate Rudolph Rogers, who surveys the ice-covered deck of his cutter after it pulled into an Eastern port following a patrol in subzero storms.

Americans Rout Nazis 10 Times In See-Saw Fight for Italian Hill By THOMAS R. HENRY. Star Staff Correspondent. FIFTH ARMY FRONT IN ITALY, Dec. 21 (Delayed).—At least 10 times in a month American troops took Hill 470 in a dark or rainy night. Each time they were over whelmed in the morning with ma chine guns and rifles barking all around them from pillboxes and fox holes which had seemed deserted when they climbed past them up the shell blackened slopes. Sunrise seemed to change rocks and thornbushes into German sol diers. American losses were heavy. Many were killed in the long series of attacks. At one time an entire platoon was taken prisoner. It was only after an infantry battalion had taken a position following a hard two-day battle that the mys tery of the hill with 10 lives was solved. Past the foot of Hill 470, which was one of the key positions in the divisional push westward from Ven atro, ran a deep wooded stream bed down which the enemy could bring reinforcements with perfect con cealment. Near the bottom of the hill were three cave entrances. The exits of one of these caverns w'as on the summit. The two others were about midway up the slopes, one on the south and one on the west. These constituted an almost perfect defensive system. All the American attacks were against the northwest side. German Forces Light. The Germans were holding the position with relatively light forces, probably not much more than an in fantry company ever was there at any one time. The American at tack made with one or two platoons followed terrific artillery bombard ments which left the hillsides a Dantesque picture of blackened des- j olation so that, as one of the dlvis-1 ion officers said, “it looks like a perfect moving picture battlefield.” The whole hill would cover little more than a city block. It was hard to believe that human beings could live under such intensive shelling. When the American attacks were made in the dark they usually met little resistance, sometimes none at all. The troops would occupy the crest of the hill and radio back to regimental headquarters that the position was definitely taken at last, all the defenders who remained had either been killed or captured. The pillboxes and the fox holes were empty. All the time the Germans were bringing new forces down the stream bed and through the caves to strategic positions from which they could mow down the trapped Americans in the morning. The situation finally became intolerably and when a division, held up nearly a month by bad weather and im passable roads, started the westward push in the third week of Decem ber which was definitely to break through the German winter line in this sector, the hill had to be taken at any cost. The game of hide and seek was over and the enemy had to make a stand once and for all. Their natural defensive positions were so excellent that they were able to hold off for two days the attack which was punctuated with much hand-to-hand fighting by the in fantry battalion led by Lt. Col. Preston C. Murphy of Fort Collins, Colo. Picture of Desolation. Now the slopes of Hill 470 present an appearance about as close to that of the no man's land of the last war as could be found in Italy. One cannot take five steps anywhere, without stepping into a shell hole. Two days later the pungent odor of phosphorus used to make smoke screens Is very strong. The de fensive system was strong, with scores of skillfully camouflaged logs and granite pillboxes and deeply dug rock-lined fox holes which only a direct hit by an artillery shell could damage. Seen from a few miles away Hill 470 looks like a contemptible little knoll with rugged heights towering above it on three sides. It is not very steep, but few places in the whole Voltumo campaign have had such great strategic importance. This was recognized by both sides. Two days after the capture the slope was strewn with bodies. There were at least 200 German dead. In the operation more than 100 German prisoners were taken. At least 4.000 rounds of mortar shells were fired against the hill with relatively little effect on the defenses. Britain to Pay Cash For Capital Goods Under Revised Plan By BLAIR BOLLES. In a revision of lease-lend policy, the American Govern ment has decided to request cash from the British govern ment for capital goods usable in postwar economic operations as well as during the present con flict, it was learned reliably yes terday. The British government has come into possession of a fair-sized bal ance of dollars through the co-oper ation of the Commonwealth govern ments, like Australia and Canada, that sell materials for cash to the United States. It is the possession of these dollars that makes it pos sible for the lease-lend policy amendment. Progress in the organization of the Foreign Economic Administra tion, the central agency set up here last September, has brought the de velopment of the “hard-boiled" at titude in lease-lend. The Office of Lend-Lease Administration was in cluded in FEA. The lease - lend administrators plans to eliminate operations which in the past have caused criticism considered Justifiable in administra tion quarters. One of these opera tions was the practice of our buying fish in Iceland and turning it over to the British on lease-lend. The British crisis in dollars late in 1940 inspired the creation of the lease-lend system. At that time Great Britain, after making heavy munitions purchases over here under the Neutrality Act’s cash-and-carry formula, was said to be “scarping the bottom of the barrel” of her resources salable over here. The production of Cuban gin. largely consumed in the United States, is expected shortly to come to an end as a result of firmness on the part of FEA, which is seek ing a formula to encourage the use of Cuban black-strap molasses for production of industrial alcohol in stead of gin. The Office of Economic Warfare, one of FEA’s predecessors, made at tempts to increase Cuban industrial alcohol production but failed. The OEW received no co-operation from the State Department or the Amer ican Embassy in Havana at that time, but the degree of co-opera tion now is greatly increased. Cut Sought in Cost Of Administering D. C. Nursery Schools Ways of reducing administrative costs of the District’s public nursery schools will be discussed tomorrow morning by Superintendent of Schools Robert L. Haycock and other members of the Nursery School Advisory Committee. Their report will be relayed to the Commissioners for consideration in the light of a complaint from the Federal Works Agency that costs here are too high. About $42,000 was allocated to the Dstrict by FWA last summer to equip and operate 21 centers for about two months. Hampered by shortages of equipment, personnel and suitable school locations, Miss Dorothy D. Pearse, day care director, said, the day care office has been able to open only 12 centers. One of these had to be closed a month later for lack of attendance. The original allotment has thus lasted the District six months instead of two, Miss Pearse said. An additional $24,000 has just been allotted for three months by FWA, but with it came complaint by Henry J. Sullivan, assistant regional director, that District “adminis trative" costs seemed high. The Commissioners asked the commit tee for a report on cost reduction. Russia (Continued From First Page.) implications, were believed to have put everything they had in their counteroffensive, begun November 17 after the Red Army had cap tured Kiev and pushed westward to a highwater mark which enveloped Zhitomir and Korosten. Both Zhitomir and Korosten were recaptured by the Germans in the next few days as Soviet Gen. Nikolai Vatutin pulled his men back more than 30 miles before the mighty on slaught. Then the Russians dug in, holding their lines a little more than 50 miles from the Ukraine capital of Kiev which the Germans had hoped to win back. A dispatch Friday from Eddy Gil more, Associated Press correspond ent in Moscow, told how the Rus sians finally had turned the tide of battle with their big guns, mobile cannon and tremendous formations of tanks. Bitter Resistance. Mr. Gilmore reported the Rus sians had gained ground, but it was not until Berlin’s announcement yesterday that the great scale of the movement was indicated. After the fall of Gorodok, called the key to Vitebsk, the German po sition on the northern front was almost equally bad. The Russians were gaining despite the bitterest Nazi resistance. There were many signs that the Germans had become frightened in the Vitebsk sector and that they were making feverish efforts to for tify the city for the expected at tack. A dispatch from Gorodok to the Soviet government newspaper Iz vestia in Moscow said numerous prisoners were taken by the Rus sians after -the breakthrough in this outer defense of Vitebsk. There were also stories of frequent Ger man suicides in the deep snow of White Russia, but the majority of Germans, it was aaid, were sur rendering to any Russians they could find. A front dispatch to the Commun ist organ Pravda said the Ger mans were rushing everything from long, armored trains to fresh forces of air power to the Vitebsk area, and admored trains were reported taking part in the battle yesterday. Annapolis Navy Officer Awarded Legion of Merit Ey the Associated Press. NORFOLK, Va., Dec. 25.—The j Legion of Merit has been awarded to Capt. William P. O. Clarke of An napolis, chief staff officer, com mander Amphibious Training Com mand, Atlantic Fleet, for his serv ices in the period of preparation for major amphibious operations.

Clarke, with extreme initiative and outstanding ability, organized and established training facilities and carried out an ex tensive training program to provide efficient operating complements of officers and men for all types of newly constructed landing ships and craft. • • * Aggressive leadership and perseverance under many handicaps and trying conditions brought these ships and craft to a high state of readiness for combat operations and enabled them to par ticipate effectively • * Maryland's Minute Men Reduced by 9,000 By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE. Dec. 25. — Gov. O’Conor announced today that the Maryland Minute Men organization had been reduced from a force of 15.000 to 6.000 men. Declaring that it had been de cided that there was no longer a need to maintain companies at full strength, Gov. O'Conor said that the reduction conformed to tables of organization approved by the War Department.

Battalions one, two and three, of the eight Minute Men Battalions in Baltimore City, were among those placed on the inactive list. Crown Prince Umberto Wipes Mud From Eyes Of Jeep Driver on Trip to Front in Italy By • Buff Correspondent of The Bter. FIFTH ARMY FRONT IN ITALY, Dec. 18 (Delayed).—Crown Prince Umberto of Italy rode 10 miles down a muddy road In the front seat of a Jeep the other day, handker chief In hand and wiping the mud out of the eyes of the GI driver. Near the front It Is not permis sible to keep windshields u p because of the reflec 11 o n a , which can be seen easily by enemy artillery observers. Con sequently those Thorn., a. Henry. In the front seat are exposed to consfcurt mud^splsuihlng^ ^ his visit to the front to Inspect the terrain over which a division of Italian troops just thrown into the line were expected to fight. Ameri can officers escorted him. Among them was Lt. Col. E. N. Harris, El Paso, Tex., who found the c^own prince “an exceptionally charming fellow.” The Americans explained to the crown prince that the front seat was the easiest riding but that it would be his Job to keep the driver’s eyes free of mud. He said this would be an enviable experience. It was his first jeep ride. He appeared In a gorgeous new uniform. It was muddy in a few minutes. The Americans knew nothing of the proper ways of addressing royalty. They called him familiarly "Umberto” and “Prince.” He seemed to enjoy lt, Col. Harris says, but every time he was called by his first IU^n^*««r^wtto^ao^ the speakers. He could not under stand how anybody could be so familiar with royalty. At the end of the jeep ride the prince was taken over the terrain In an artillery observation plane, the fuselage of which had been shot full of flak holes a few days before. Umberto didn’t object In the least. He explained to the escorting officers that he considers the Italian division fighting with the Americans the best that Italy had to offer and that he personally had selected it to vindicate the honor of Italy. The next day it fought one of the hardest battles of the campaign in an effort to take shell-blackened Mount Lungo and failed only after acts of heroism which will live long in the annals of the Italian Army. “I thought that Prince Umberto was heart and soul on the pure side and at the bottom was a pretty decent fellow,- said Col. 32nd ANNIVERSARY YEAR "YOUR MARK OF STYLE” MONDAY: O AM- ’TlL 0 PM.
