He apparently was seized by cramps, and was drowned. John W. Budd,'55, former Lebanon police chief, attempted to pull his shotgun through a fence on his farm near Lebanon. The gun was discharged, the shot severing large blood vessels in his right arm. He bled to death before he moved 100 yards. A searching party found the body Saturday night.

Gallup Analysis Shows Importance. of ‘Middle’ Group

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP

Director, American Institute of Public Opinion

EW YORK, Nov. 21.—In

the business circles

of New York and Chicago, in the New Deal’s fireside councils in Washington, and wherever political leaders and political analysts meet

nowadays the question is being asked:

explains the political shift month’s elections?”

“What indicated in this

On the answers depends the

course of political strategy for

the next two years.

Roosevelt is a majority

President still popular with (54.4%) of the:

voters, but his popularity is less

than it was on election day,

This year, for the first time since 1930, the Republicans made substantial gains in State and Congressional

i elections. Dr. Gallup

of Public Opinion revealed that these Republican gains

would be made. by step with a drop in President:

They have indicated that—almost step

Now an Institute survey indicates which groups

in the national life shifted most

and what complaints

had the most weight in bringing these shifts about. The Institute has interviewed a sample of the men

and women who were for

President Roosevelt in

1936 but who voted against the Administration this

November.

White-collar workers, farmers, employers and even some of the unemployed—these voters have told in their own words why they no longer support the New Deal.

6. The New Deal's labor policy, of sit-down strikes.

The Institute survey indicates that Government spending is the most common reason given for turning against the Administration. Almost one-fourth of all the shift voters mention it, and it is particularly prominent in the comments of persons in the upper and middle income

groups.

If the Administration is forced to vote additional taxes to meet its deficit spending, the volume of middle class pro-

The middle income group contains almost half of the total voting population and is made up roughly of persons

trol project will necessitate taking out about 100 trees, “most of them scraggly.” Mr. Kortepeter said that the river channel at that point now is 175 feet wide and that it is to be widened to 525 feet, which is specified by the UJ. S. War Department. “To do that,” Mr. Kortepeter said, “it is necessary to take out some trees, because we can’t have them sitting out there in the middle of the river. “But the trees we have to take out are, for the most part, without value and we could not possibly transplant them.” City Engineer Henry B. Steeg said the Board will meet some time soon to consider the protest, but said he had no idea what it could do about it. He said the plans for the project were approved by the Park Board March 5 and that the plans indicated clearly that the trees in question would have to come out.

STATE BODY QUIZZES COUNTY TAX BOARD

The State “Tax Boar Board created a precedent today when it interviewed members of the Marion County Tax Adjustment Board on reductions made in Marion County tax rates and budgets. As approved by the County reviewing body, the 1939 property tax rate for Indianapolis residents in Center Township was fixed at $3.19 for each $100 of assessed property. The State Board said it took this action because local governmental officials at the public hearing last week were unable to explain the reasons behind several Qepsrimenial budget slashes.

Thus all signs indicate that the political “battleground”

is likely to be in this group.

” ” ” THER reasons why voters have shifted away from President Roosevelt since 1936, the survey shows, include dissatisfaction with the Government’s relief policy and with the President’s associates and advisers. A Pennsylvania hotel manager explains that his attitude, has changed toward the President “because his labor policy. has driven a lot of business out of the state.” A 29-year-old theater attendant in West Virginia says: “He’s gone back on all his promises.

I'm worse off today

Other typical observations are: “There’s been no improvement in business for all the New Deal's reforms.” . . . “The New Deal is costing the country too much money.” , . , “Too much stuff is being handed out.” (Copyright, 1938)
