FOUND WINTER
WAS MILD, TOO
Even Now They're Planning
To Bore From Within In Great Numbers.
Bugs, everything from grasshoppers to Mexican bean beetles, are likely to swarm over Indiana in near plague proportions next summer, State Entomologist Frank N. Wallace predicted. today. After a lengthy checkup on the weather during the past winter and a study of hibernation habits of most bugs, Mr. Wallace determined _ that very few insects were killed by cold weather.
Easy Winter on Insects
“The ‘past mild winter has been so easy on insects that even the weak ones may have survived to propagate their kind as soon as the warm weather starts,” he said. It is the rapid changes from warm to near zero temperatures that kills off millions of weak insects in winter and there hasn't been enough . severe cold to kill them, the entomologist said. Uncertain on Mosquitos : Some of the insects that may be ected in swarms next summer include chinch bugs which are damaging to crops, crickets and hoppers of all kinds. As far as mosquitos, Mr. Wallace is not so sure because, he said, the amount of rain between now and summer will determine their hatch-
ing menace.
TEACHER SUES OVER LOST JOB
Trustee of Perry Township Named by Miss Dowden,
- Who Asks $2280.
A suit seeking her reinstatement as a Perry Township public school
teacher had been filed in Superior Court 3 today by Miss Dorothy J.!
Dowden. Gi The suit, which named John George, Perry Township trustee, as defendant, charged that Mr. George had “failed, neglected and refused to employ the plaintiff as a teacher for the school: years 1937-38 and 1938-39 in violation of the Indiana Teachers’ Tenure Law.”
Mr. George could not be reached for comment. The suit further charged that the plaintiff became invested with tenure rights after five years of consecutive employment as a teacher in Perry Township. Miss Dowden said in the suit she had been employed in Perry Towpship schoo 10 years. : Miss Dowden declared in the suit that no charges had ever been made against her, or any hearing held, or any finding made. She asks $2280 damages, which she claims is the amount of salary she would have earned if she had been employed the last two years.
55-CENT RED CAB FARE PLEA STUDIED
The Safety Board is to decide Tuesday upon the request of the Red Cab Co., for a 55-cent maximum in the City limits, Leroy Keach, Safety Board president, said today. In a meeting yesterday the Board refused to grant a request of the United Cab Co., for a 50-cent maximum, saying a City Ordinance prohibited it. Donald ' Morris, Safety Board member, in voting against the United Cab request, said: “I think it would be a great mistake for these: companies to cut each others throats. I still cannot understand why the companies wish to lower their rates. They are too low now.” The Safety Board suggested to the representatives of the two companies present that they should “get together and work out similar rates.”

The Gallup Poll
Half of Voters Say They Would Like fo See Republicans Win in 1940
By DR. GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute of Public Opinion i
EW YORK, March 29.—There is considerable foundation for the growing confidence of the Republican Party that, after eight years of political eclipse, it may be able to furn the tables on the New
Deal and elect a President in 1940.
With the election still 18 months away, a cross-section survey by the American Institute of Public Opinion shows that, at the present
time, a bare majority of all voters with opinions say they would like to see the Republicans win the Presidency. A similar majority also say)
that if it came
to a race between a Republican ticket composed of
Thomas E. Dewey and Senator Robert A. Taft, and a
AMERICAN INSTITUTE PUBLIC/OPINION
- Democratic ticket headed by John N. Garner and James A. Farley, they would be inclined to vote for Mr. Dewey and Mr. Taft. : The division of sentiment‘is close and many factors, notably the state of prosperity at election time, could alter it. The slight preference for Republicans at this time does not even indicate that they can win. But the fact that about half of the voters today say they would like to see the G. O. P. win, whereas less than 40 per cent voted Republican in 1936, is one
indication that the Republican Party symbol is once more regaining
some of its popular appeal.
The first question in the survey asked a cross-section of voters in
all parties: election in 1940?”
“Which party would you like to see win the Presidential
The vote of those with opinions was: Would Like Republicans to Win. ...... eh iene

undecided group a in 1936 their future decision will have an important bearing on Democratic prospects. id HAT party the majority of voters will favor in 1940 depends largely, of course, on what candidates are selected. In order to have some rough gauge of how much the selection of specific candidates might affect party strength, the Institute has run various opposing candidates against each other in informal
“trial heats.” Political observers have lately been linking the names of Mr. Garner and Mr. Farley as possible candidates for President and Vice President, respectively, on the Democratic ticket, and Mr. Dewey and Senator Tait as candidates on the Republican ticket. : In a companion question in today’s survey the Institute matched these pairs against each other, with the following results:
Would Prefer Dewey-Taft TicKet ....c.coonnensorennn: 52% Would Prefer Garner-Farley Ticket 4 The undecided or “no opinion” vote was approximately 16 per cent. It is interesting to note that
there is a close correlation be-.
tween the number of voters who say they would like to see a Republican win in 1940 (51 per cent), and the number who favor the Dewey-Taft ticket (52 per cent).
As a further experiment, the Institute put Senator Taft’s name at the head of the Republican ticket with Mr. Dewey as Vice Presidential candidate, and ran this combination against Garner and Farley. The results were the same—52 per cent for the TaftDewey ticket, 48 per cent for Mr. Garner and Mr. Farley.
