Time iFo; Pre Vote Preparations I s Pared Down. .

OTTAWA. March 9 -(CP) ~09.- nodians Will decide April 27 wheth- er or not the government should be released from past covnmltmenis against conscription for overseas service, the House of Commons was informed today.

Soldiers. serving in Canada or overseas, will vote any time be- tween April 16 and April 25. excluding Sunday April 1D.

State Secretary McLarty made the announoemcnw-long awaited in the Commons vlten he tabled an order-ln-council passed under the plebiscite act and the proclama on fixing the date for voting.

"I might. stale that the date for voilng has been fixed for April 27 next." said Mr. McLarty.

The early dale came as a sur- prise because until today it had been indicated a date early in May was possibly the earliest the vote could be expected.

Announcement of the April 27 date gave rise to the possibility the House might continue the Easter adjournment until after the plebis- cite. Easter this year falls on April 5 and Mr. King has said there will be an adjournment of probably two weeks.

Jules Castonguay, chief elector- al officer who will be in charge on the taking of the plebiscite vote. said the length of time it had been thought would be necessary for pre- vole preparations had been pared

down.

“Al. first

would be necessary or enumera- tion of voters but this had been cut to 14 days as compared with 49 days needed for general election numerution ulten the voters’ lists are revised after being made up. For the plebiscite them will be no revision. .

Despite fresh victories chimed

While Nlppnnese seizure of new bases on the

High (J o m m an d Shakeup Announ- ced By Navy ‘f .c- retary Knox.

WASHINGTON, March 9-—(AP) —’1‘all. taciturn Admiral Ernest Joseph King, already boss of the United States fleet, today assum- ed supreme command of all Am- erlcan naval operations, combining with his duties as fleet chief the powers heretofore exercised by Ad- mirul Harold R. Stark as chief of naval operations.

Before this change was made. King as commnnder-in-chief of the fleet had charge primarily of fighting activities wh", Stark was responsible for keeping the fleet 1n condition for any emergency and for long-range planning. Now all these functions are combined under one man.

The high command shakeup was announced by N8.V_v secretary Frank Knox in a release disclosing creation of the position of "com. mander, United States naval forces operating in Eruropean waters" and the assignment o: Admiral Stark w that command.

Mlle! 0f Stark. 61. and the dele- gation of his powers to King, 63, wars interpreted by naval anti-p orlties as a streamlining process cllmiluroble to that by which the War Department recently was re- organized into three main dlvls- ions-ground forces, air forces and "ll/W? 0!

As part of this streamlining pro- cess, the War Department today appointed a more youthful general staff. reduced to a fifth of its former size. Giving new emphasis to aviation, the department named an air force officer, MaL-Qen, George C. McNarney, an deputy chief of staff, second only to Gen. Marshall who remains as chief.
