WEDNESDAY Nov. 8, 1944 Voters Jam Polls in Record Turnout; Last-Minute Sensations Fail to Develop Box Laid Low, Yanks Hunt the Pills Favorable Weather Big Factor in Heavy Balloting Generally Swamping precinct stations throughout the nation to mark an expected 50,000,000 ballots, American voters swarmed to the polls yesterday for the third war-time election in U.S. history. With weather on the whole fairly good all over the country, voting offi- cials in many states announced the greatest turnout in history. There was local snow in northern New England and rain in the Southwest and Rocky Mountain areas, but in most regions the air was crisp and clear. As the American people made their decision on who was to be the next President of the United States—Franklin D. Roosevelt for a fourth term, or his Republican opponent Gov, Thomas E. Dewey—the country was almost silent after weeks of the bitterest campaigning since 1928. ..Last-minute Election Notes- 1 political bombshells, which each party professed to believe the other had pre- pared, failed to eventuate.

Nov. 7 (ANS)—The GI Bill of Rights appears to be headed back to Congress for an amendment even as the Veterans' Admini- stration sends forms for soldier loans to the government printer. A conflict has developed on the critical point whether a veteran's disability compensation may be attached by the U.S. if he. is unable to keep up pay- ments on his home, farm or business for which he obtained the loan. The Veterans' Administration disclosed today that under its interpretation of the law such attachment was possible. The American Legion, which sponsored the measure, said the Legion never had planned, approved or had any knowledge such action would be permitted. Meantime, Sen, Bennett Camp Clark (D.-Mo.) said such an attachment was the intent of Congress while Rep. Pat Kearney (R.-N.Y.) said Congress had no such plan. Kearney added that he would introduce counteracting legislation when Congress re- comenes.
