Poll Shows Readers Miss Daily Papers Say Radio Does Not Fulfill News Needs New York, July 24 -tl’P)- Two surveys on public reaction Io the ’recent delivery men’s strike against New York publishers revealed today that the longer habitual readers go without newspapeis the less they like it. Fact Finders Associate®, Inc., polling a cross section of public opinion for the American Newspaper Publishers association’® bureau of advertising, reported that 89.2 per cent of those interviewed said radio did not completely fulfill their need for news. The first poll, conducted in the first week of the strike, featured the question: "You are probably getting most of your new® now from tlie radio. Is radio complete ly fulfilling your need for news?" Results of the first survey showed 76.6 were not. In the second survey, taken July 11 and 12, five days 1 before the 17-day strike ended. | there were 89.2 negative answer® i to the radio question. In the early survey taken July 3 to July 5, 74.2 per cent of those interviewed said they missed most the national and war news. The others said they missed it very little. The later survey on this subject showed 76.4 per cent missed national and war news most, with 23.6 unaffected by this lack of news. In the first survey, the absence of local news affected 70.9 per cent and failed to disturb 28.1 per cent. The percentages in the second survey were 65.3 and 34.7, showing a slight decline in concern over absence of local news. Women were interviewed on the lack, of advertising and in the first survey 79.1 iter cent said they missed the ads very much or moderately. The others reported they scarcely missed them at all. Hi the second survey the percentages were 77.4 and 22.6. Asked whether they missed newspapers more after 10 days of the strike than they did early in the walkout. 58.7 per cent said “yes," 29.1 said "about the ®ame” and 12.2 said they missed them less.

Says Soviet Russia Has Labor Shortage Union Leaders From Russia Visit U. S. Washington, July 24. --(I i')Vassili Kuznetsov, head of the Russian trade union movement, said today that reconversion of Soviet industry had resulted in a labor shortage instead of unemployment Kuznetsov, a former Pittsburgh I steel worker, is here with nine, other Russian union leaders as | guests of the Congress of Indus-1 trial Organizations to compare re- ■ conversion problem® in Russia ant! the U. S. At an hour and a half long press | conference yesterday, Kuznetsov refused to predict whether Russia would enter the war with Japan He said his country would ratify I the United Nations charter but j that it was "a little bit early" for it. to discontinue its munitions in-1 dustry. The Russian labor delegation I will visit I'. S. war plants and eon | fer with labor leadens in Chicago. I Duluth. Detroit, Atlantic City, Phil -I adelphia, New York, Pittsburgh and I Canada in the next three weeks, j Kuznetsov said none of his delegation would attend the New York City Communist party political rally. Government agencies in this country have predicted a rise ln’.j unemployment to 2,000,000 by Aug 1 as war cutbacks increase and reconversion continues slow in getting under way. Kuznetsov gave file following explanation for the contrasting labor picture in his country: All Soviet industry i® state owned. Its production plans are made years in advance by a state planning committee. The reconversion plans are now being carried out. The government has reduced the work day from 10 or 11 hours to eight hours but retained the same take-home wages as prevailed during war work. It ha® restored vacations with pay and removed all restrictions on changing jobs. Kuznetsov said that the shortage of labor and materials is retarding | Russian reconversion. Additional labor is expected to come from older ®oldiers now being demobilized, persons transferring from war industries and German prisoners of war. o Floating repair shops 269 feet long are being used in the Pacific to speed repairs of damaged automotive equipment on newly-won island bases and on small islands m rear areas, Col.
