The Gallup Poll—

Third Term Question on Roosevelt, and 54 Per Cent Back G. 0. P.

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP

Director, American Institute of Public Opinion

RINCETON, N. J.,, Aug. 9.— Michigan, birthplace bf the two most popular Republican presidential aspirants for 1940, Senator Arthur N. Vandenberg and Thomas E. Dewey, is leaning

Republican by a slight majority today, judging by surveys of political sentiment throughout the state.

/

I~

Although the Democrats swept Michigan in 1932 and 1936, the Amer- . ican Institute of Public Opinion finds today that a slight. majority in the Wolverine State would like to see the Republicans win the presidency in 1840. The state elected a Republican Governor last November. Sentiment in Michigan was tested on the following issue:

“What party would you like to see win the Presidential election in 1940?”

Want Republicans to Win.. 54% Want Democrats to Win.... 46

Michigan is of special. interest to 1940 forecasters and [politicians on two counts. First, it controls "19 electoral votes, ranking seventh among the states. Second, the political aspirations of its two prominent Republican sons raises a question as to which one is the favorite with G. O. P. voters throughout the state. While events in the next few months may easily . alter sentiment, the Institute finds that today Senator Vandenberg is the leading choice for 1940 among Michigan Republicans. Mr. Dewey, whom previous surveys have shown leading

LTHOUGH Mr. Dewey was born in Owosso, Mich., and graduated from the University of Michigan in 1923, he has not lived in the state since 1925. Among the Democratic voters of Michigan, Vice president John N. Garner is the leading choice of 1940 in case President Roosevelt does not' run for a third term. Attorney General Frank Murphy, former Governor of Michigan,

ranks second to Mr. Garner in

the state. Federal Security Admilnistiator Paul 'V.

Asked whether they would vote for Roosevelt for a third term if he ran, 34 per cent of all voters replied “yes,” 66 per. cent “no.” The chief source of Republican strength in the state continues to be the rural areas, as opposed to the cities where most of the Demcratic sentiment lies. :

For example, on the questién as to which party Michigan «voters would like to see win in 1940, the rural areas overwhelmingly favor (by a vote of 63 per cent) a ~ G. O. P. victory, whereas urban sentiment is more closely divided, with a slight majority (51 per Sent favoring a Democratic vicIY.

NEW HATGH LAW RULING AWAITED

Murphy to Decide Whether U.S. Workers May Attend Democrat Rally.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 (U. P.).— The Justice Department was expected to make public today a formal interpretation of the Hatch “clean politics” act for Government employees attending the current national convention of:Young Democrats in Pittsburgh. According to some observers, the opinion will have national significance since it may forecast how the new law will be interpreted in 1240. The request for the ruling was made by Pitt Tyson Maner, president of the National Young Democrats organization. He asked Attorney General Frank Murphy to rule whether the act bars Government employees from attending the. convention. In an informal opimion Monday, the Justice Department said Government workers could attend, but could not act as delegates in any official capacity—presumably,. they could not vote. Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh, Mr. Maner criticized the Hatch bill, charging that it was “the most unAmerican piece of legislation that has been passed in the last 25 years.”

The blackout was to have been tonight but was postponed because of bad flying weather. Paris reported that the GermanPolish tension over Danzig shortly would reach the “acute” stage, although officials deprecated the idea that an outbreak would occur just now. Albert Forster, the Danzig Nazi chief, returned to Danzig from a consultation with Fuehrer Adolf Hitler at Berchtesgaden. He will address a mass meeting tomorrow on alleged Polish threats to bombard Danzig, which the inspired German press has intimated will mean war. Fortified by assurances from Herr Hitler, Herr Forster is expected to make a defiant. speech. In the Orient, friction between the Japanese and British was heightened when the Japanese made a strong protest against the landing of British sailors from a destroyer at Swatow to protect British subjects from demonstrating pro-Jap-anese Chinese. Japan demanded an apology and indemnity for a Chinese shot in the melee.

demand for an immediate military alliance with Germany and’ Italy. The Navy, four of the five key members of the Cabinet, and important business interests were reported to be united in opposition to committing Japan to join in any war in which the Axis powers might be involved. The Japanese Ambassador at Rome, Toshio Shiratori, asserted in an interview that Japan's adherence to the three-power military alliance awaited only the working out of final details.

It was not clear, however, how:

much authority he had for his statement. Germany added to its defense preparations by. ordering the registration of all men, women and children from the ages of 5 to 70. They will be required to give details of their physical condition and qualifications for work. The announcement said: . “Should Germany be attacked,

women as well as unfit men must |

Although creating a furore in world medical circles by her abnormal birth—a larger than normal heart protruding from her chest and covered only by a thin pericardial tissue—little Maria seemed no different in other respects from the thousands of babies born annually in the slums of the Tondo tenement district. Doctors were amazed at the ‘vitality of the child despite the absence of breast feeding which was forbid because it would necessitate moving her. A slight fever which followed birth was subsiding.

‘PAYOFF’ ON TRAFFIC STICKERS PICKS UP

Location of the traffic sticker “payoff” window at the police Station today was credited by Police Chief Michael Morrissey for the general improvement in the voluntary payment of traffic stickers. Since the Traffic Violation Bureau was set up on the second floor of Police Headquarters June 10, a total of 3577 motorists have paid sticker

fines of $7154, Chief Morrissey said.

The traffic sticker ‘payoff’ window was previously located in the City Controller's office at the City Hall. Since June 10, police have issued a total of 5129 stickers, Chief Morrissey said. Of that number, 273 motorists took their cases to courts, and 12 motorists demanded jury trials, ncne of which has been arranged because of crowded court calendars. The Police Department - requested the City Prosecutor to issue warrants for 734 motorists who failed to pay their

stickers.

Another secondary test of: southern political sentiment was made in Mississippi yesterday. Here again the New Deal ostensibly was not involved. But the Mississippi primary for Governor was waged lbe-

accurately .the split in Democratic party lines which has dodged Mr. Roosevelt's every move during: the past Congress.

Mr. Bilbo’s candidzte in the Gubernatorial primary was, Judge Paul Johnson, a former Congressman. Mr. Harrison is understood to have backed former Gov. Martin Sennett Conner. . The lead in the Mississippi race was a seesaw affair with Judge. Johnson holding a slim lead over Mr. Conner as the.count continued today. Both were assured of being candidates in a runoff primary.

He said he was informed that the man was flogged and tied with ropes for eight hours last Friday night in a torture den.

HOOSIERS WILL AVOID M’NUTT ‘PRESSURE’

“MoNuit-for- President” activities will not be included in the program of the Indiana delegation to the National Young Democrats Convention which opens tomorrow night at Pittsburgh, its members announced today. In fact, the Hoosier delegation’s five convention votes will be distributed among several candidates, “to avoid creating any feeling that pressure is being exerted fo promote the candidacy” of the Federal Security Administrator, they said. - However, Administrator McNutt will greet delegations of other states from the Indiana State Committee's suite in the Pittsburch Hotel. Fred F. Bays, State Committee chairman, and other high Indiana party leaders plan to attend the convention but it was indicated Senators Frederick VanNuys and Sherman Minton would not be present.

1938, and again in April this year in direct appeals to European rulers. Meanwhile, during the Congressional recess, maneuvers will be begun to. control 1940 convention delegations. Conservative Democratic !stratetgy, chiefly, will be to attempt to tie up delegations for favorite sons and hold them out against the President. Conservative leadership is centered in the South and there the jockeying for position will be most noticeable in the next few months. Southern anti-Roosevelt leaders now realize the handicap placed on them when the last convention abolished the two-thirds nominating rule which previously gave them a veto through control of one-third of the delegates. The election ‘just held in Kentucky may have a bearing on that state's place in the 1940 picture. Senator Alben Barkley, Democratic floor leader and powerful party figure, suffered a defeat there. The candidate he supported for Governor, former Congressman John Young Brown, backed by the C.I1.0., apparently has lost to Lieut. Gov. Keen Johnson, the candidate sponsored by Gov. A. B. (Happy) Chandler. Senator Barkley had expected to control the 1940 Kentucky delegation, either in behalf of his own candidacy for the nomination—little heard of lately—or to deliver to the Roosevelt forces on behalf of a New Deal candidate. « Lieut. Gov. Johnson announced at the outset of his campaign that he would be for a Barkley favorite son delegation in 1940, but “Happy” Chandler may have something to say about this. He had a strong state’ machine with which he will continue to have influence. Governor Chandler is a distant cousin and an admirer of Senator Harry F. Byrd (D., Va.), who is one of the flock of “favorite son” candidates now on ‘the horizon. ~ President Roosevelt kept out of the Kentucky contest. John L. Lewis, C. I.

behalf of Mr. Brown, issuing a bitter denunciatioh of Gov. Chandler for sending troops into Harlan

County several weeks ago. When Mr. Lewis attacked Vice President John N. Garner recently as a “labor-baiting, poker-playing,. whisky-drinking evil old man,” “Happy” sent a sympathetic tele= gram to the Vice President.

Senator Byrd, as favorite son of Virginia, will throw" his lot with the Anti-New Dealers. Senator Walter P.

trol that state's delegation which is

not expected to support the New Deal wing. Secretary of State Cordell Hull will be. the favorite son of Tennessee. If his candidacy fails, then the Tennessee delegation probably will be available for the Roosevelt forces. . An instructed delegation in Alabama for Speaker of the House John H. Bankhead will be opposed, it is indicated by Gov. Frank Dixon who wants an uninstructed delegation. The Speaker undoubtedly would be found among the Roose-: velt forces while Governor Dixon would not. Senators Pat Harrison and. Theodore G. Bilbo will fight over control of Mississippi's delegation. Vice President Garner, the mainspring of the conservatives, will advise on their strategy in the next few months. He will enter the convention in control of the Texas delegation and with others sukject to his orders.

HYDE PARK, Aug. 9 (U.
