Deadlock on soldier vote
Washington (UP) –
Senate-House conferees, who have been trying for a week to resolve the soldier-vote bill dispute today, were right back where they started – deadlocked.
A comparative suggestion which state ballot plan advocates originally found acceptable was rejected by them without explanation during the fifth meeting of the conferees.
It appeared that the conference would end in complete disagreement, with members reporting to their respective chambers for further instructions.
