3-2, for Popular Vote

Before U. S. Fights Overseas

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP American Institute of Public Opinion

EW YORK, March 28.—If American troops are ever to be conscripted again for fighting overseas, a majority of Americans believe that the question should be submitted first to the people them-

selves in a national vote.

That suggestion, outlined recently in an article by Gen. Hugh S. Johnson as a counter-proposal to the resolution requiring a national

vote before a declaration of war by Congress, is approved today by a 3-to-2 majority in a nationwide survey by the American Institute of Public Opinion. The resolution was introduced by Rep. Louis Ludlow, Indiana, Democrat. - The vote is one more reflection of the present-day American sentiment. against European conflict without consulting the public. Previous Institute tests have shown wide approval for the principle of the Ludlow resolution, too, a proposal which is in the hands of Congress now. But some military authorities, including Gen. Johnson, have argued that adoption of the Ludlow amendment would prevent this country from protecting its overseas commerce and investments, and that America ‘would not be willing to “stay out” of war if these interests should actually be attacked. . ” 2 “ HE real purpose,” says Gen. Johnson, “is to prevent Americans from being drafted to fight in any overseas army without a referendum, Why not say so?” Gen. Johnson's proposal would leave responsibility for declaring war where it is, but give the people of the United States a chance to vote before conscripting men for overseas fighting. To test support for the idea, the Institute asked: “Should the Constitution be amended to require a national vote before the country could draft men to fight overseas?” The vote is: For National Vote Before Draft Opposed

”

” ” 2 REATEST sympathy for the plan to require a referendum before another “draft” comes from the East, where New England voters favor it 3 to 1, the survey shows, and from the Middle West, where it is approved by 2 to 1. The South and West approve, but by much smaller majorities. Those who favor the Johnson

Pleasant Service

suggestion declare (1) that the people most affected should have a chance to make their voices heard, (2) that Congress is too small a group to decide when this country needs to send troops overseas or (3) this country should never fight in an overseas war under any. circumstances. The minority argue that “the goverriment should be free to act in any emergency” and that ‘the Government can decide what's needed better than the voters can.” The Institute has tested sentiment on the Ludlow resolution principle four times in the past two and a half years. In the earliest surveys, in 1936 and 1937, the Institute found more than 70 per cent of the voters in favor of the plan. In the most recent survey, published March 7, the number favoring the plan had dropped to 58 per cent, a reflection probably of strong Administration opposition to the proposal.

CONSIGNED TO RIVER

ELKHART, March 28 (U. P).— Elkhart citizens today hoped they were finally free of the dynamite bombs which James Dever planted in his farmland in 1904 to prevent extension of a street across his property. Police consigned an old iron pipe, closed at both ends and believed to be one of Mr. Dever's bombs, to the St. Joseph River. The pipe was found by Frank Shaffer, who lives on the old Dever land. The aged farmer, who died in 1909, crammed several iron pipes

with dynamite and buried them. Later he boasted of his feat Several of the bombs were located, and in 1935 three boys who unearthed one of the pipes were killed when it exploded as they pounded it with a hammer. : .

You Don’t Just Catch It!

There are as many theories about pyorrhea as there gre people who have the disease . . . and according to statistics, the chances are YOU are one of them. ... You don’t “just catch” pyorrhea— it is caused by NEGLECT—YOUR neglect to care for your teeth + + « Or your dentist's neglect to recognize the disease in early and curable stages. . ..

Contrary to common belief .pyorrhea can be prevented and cured.

If you could only see the terrific toll in health that pyorrhea takes every day, you would do something about it immediately. . . . Rheumatism, arthritis, stomach, kidney and heart ailments are often traced directly to a diseased mouth. . .
