Description
verso labeled in typeset: PLA801738 Eager voters lined up at the Town Hall in Saarbruecken, waiting for the clock to strike half-past eight, Jan. 13, the time at which the first vote was cast in the Saar plebiscite. Despite a blinding snowstorm, three quarters of the voters cast their ballots before one o'clock. The population overwhelmingly indicated its desire to return to Germany.
