See Compromise On Soldier Vote Senate And House Starts Race Today To Dispose Of Question. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 The Senate and House started i race today to dispose of the votes- for-servicemen controversy once and for all. The Senate met an hour earlier than -usual an optimists said a final rollcall might be reached late today, but Tuesday or Wednesday seemed more probable.

The House was left at the post because of other business and could'nt start debate until the contest was warming up in the cloakrooms between "states righters" and Federal ballot advocates. The House bill, already passed by the Senate, simply would tell the states to arrange their own absentee voting. President Roosevelt called it a "fraud" last week.

Butter Beverage HAMILTON HOTEL Good Samaritan Act Cost Family $4,000 CHICAGO, Jan. 31, is a tangled tale of a borrowed electric light fuse, a $4,000 burglary and the removal of five children to two orphanages. The action opened yesterday morning when 14-year-old Albert Adams innocently entered a North Side tavern to borrow a light fuse. Willie Klitch, a tavern visitor, voluntered to install the device and subsequently noted the boy's four little brothers and sisters -were alone in their apartment. Smeared with iodine and lipstick and almost naked, they were playing Indian.

Klitch notified his wife who was visiting her sister, Mrs. Edward Paluch. The women went to the apartment, cleaned it and bathed and fed the children. The sad climax (for the Paluchs) came when the women returned and found Mrs. Paluch's apartment in disarray.

They awakened Paluch who admitted he vaguely remembers hearing noises but supposed his wife was cleaning house. A search showed, he told police, that 52,200 in currency and $1,725 in war bonds had been taken. The would-be Indian children were forgotten until someone else called police who took them to two orphanages. Police said they had been entrusted to the care of an older girl, who apparently left them. The youngsters were not linked to the burglary in any way.

They merely happened to be deserted at the same time. Deny Farm AAA Payments Now County Farmers Not To Receive Gov't Checks Ahead Of Schedule. The Washington county office of the Agricultural Adjustment Agency, stating today that farmers have "jammed" the office seeking AAA soil conservation payments after it was published last week that payments would be made months ahead of schedule to Maryland farmers, said the statement was incorrect and did not apply to Washington county. "The AAA office is not accepting applications for soil conservation payments from Washington county farmers at this time," the office said, adding that payments, as far as was known, applied anly to Eastern Shore farmers. A statement, published last week and attributed to the Maryland office of the AAA, said farmers should apply to th-ir county AAA office now for their AAA checks, and that the checks were being mailed ahead of schedule to avoid any inconvenience to farmers.

The government checks were to be partial compensation for the farmer's "capital investments in building soil fertility for the war and posterity," the statement said. Solider Vote An Issue Here (Continued From Page 1) whose citizens advocated everything from the abolition of slavery to the maintenance of slavery. In 1861 when nominations were being made the Hagerstown Mail urged the nomination of a Peace Party ticket, but the Herald and Torchlight took the stand that no advocate of peace should be permitted to vote without first taking the oath of allegiance. "The Union party," according to Williams," although its success was a foregone conclusion, were yet somewhat alarmed because of the absence of so many voters in the Army of the Republic. The number which had enlisted from the county had already reached 600 and before the election 150 more had gone." "The Union people insisted that they should be permitted to come home to vote.

They did come and a full vote was cast, electing the Union ticket by a majority of 97S."

A class in electric welding is to be organized at the new Vocational Center, in rear of the Municipal Swimming Pool, Tuesday evening, February 1, at 7 o'clock. This is the first time in recent months that it has been possible to offer electric welding courses to the general public. The class offers to tackers, gas welders, and others, an opportunity to broaden their knowledge in the welding field. Electric arc welding is three to four times as fast as gas welding, and therefore, many war production industries are switching to arc welding as rapidly'as possible. Some of the welding machines are equipped with foot-controlled rheostats for light aircraft welding.

Enrollees preferring this type of training will be assigned to those machines. The class will meet from, 7 to 10 p. two or three evenings each week for a period of twelve weeks. Class meetincr evenings will be selected by those enrolling for the course. No tuition fees of any kind will be charged in that the cost of training will be borne by the federal government.

The Vocational Center is equipped with fifteen welding machines and a large supply of electrodes, plates, and tubes, all available for practice. Registration for the course will be held in the classroom building at the Vocational Center, in rear of the Municipal Swimming Pool, promptly at 7 p. m. February 1. This course is one of the many courses offered as a part of the vocational war production training program in Hagerstown sponsored and supervised by the local Board of Education.

Everybody Interested In Death Benefits Although few people know the amount of Social Security benefits payable upon their deaths, there are few whose relatives don', make inquiries after the death of a member of a family, according to the Hagerstown office of the security agency which reported today the results of a survey. In the cases of all persons who died during the last quarter of 1943 inquiries on due benefits were made in all instances except one. "In this one case where inquiry was not made through the local office," said Dwight Billings, manager," it happened that the person had no relatives in the county, having come here from a southern state." Yanks Breach German Lines (Continued From Page 1) Americans were methodically blasting them out of haystacks, silos, farm buildings and villages hastily converted into camouflaged pillboxes and forts. (A Berlin broadcast today said a strong British-American offensive had been started from the bridgehead. Dispatches from the bridgehead yesterday said the Allies had poured six infantry divisions into the ridge, along with armor and guns.

Despite the floods caused by the Germans diverting the Rapido river to a new course, American infantry and tanks north of Cassino on the main Fifth army front, captured two key hills, Nos. 223 and 167, and fought their way into the villages of Cairo and Monte Valla where they are now mopping up. Cairo is a little more than two miles north of Cassino, and Monte Villa is just over a mile. Cassino still was being held strongly by the Germans but it was now outflanked from the north. Tanks, pushed across the Rapido flood on a log bridge constructed by engineers working under shellfire, were of great assistance in smashing German pillboxes.

American infantrymen, crouching in the path of the tank treads to avoid German minefields, worked closely i with the tanks in the Russian style. News from the bridgehead indicated the Germans had dug in for five miles along the Cisterna-Rome railroad from a point two miles north of O'Conor Would Waive Registration For Maryland Soldiers BALTIMORE, Jan. 31 of registration requirements for Maryland members of the armed forces is favored by Governor O'Conor as a means of allowing service personnel to vote in forthcoming elections in the state. "I propose," the governor said in a broadcast yesterday, "that Maryland consider membership in the armed forces as a waiver of the usual legal requirements for registration of voters. This seems to me a common sense proposition, and I think it is a fair way in which to afford our servicemen the fullest opportunity to choose their public officials." Passage by the Senate this week of the new Lucas-Green soldiers' vote bill was predicted yesterday by Senator Millard E.

Tydings (D- Md) in his weekly broadcast (WBAL). The bill as it is now drawn, Tydings explained, leaves the matter of qualifying the absent service personnel for votteg entirely to the- state law. Maryland's constitution requires a citizen to be registered before being eligible to vote. Amendment of the constitution requires a majority vote of the electorate. 4th Ward Club To Celebrate Democratic Leaders Invited To Fifth Anniversary Party.
