President Gains Favor in South Following Passage of WPA Bill Cutting/ Wage Differences; 40 Per Cent Favor Third Term.

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP Zz Director, American Institute of Public Opinion RINCETON, N. J. Aug. 23.—As President Roosevelt returns this "week from his vacation cruise in New England waters to face growing public interest in his plans for 1940, the monthly Presidential index of the American Institute of Public Opinion shows that there has been a slight decline in the President’s popularity since last month. In the country at large, the survey shows, Roosevelt has the sup-

port of 56.6 per cent of thesmajor party voters today as coms pared with 57.5 per cent in July. This means, however, that as Congress goes home after a session in which many New Deal bills were shelved or defeated President Roosevelt still holds a

He is not as popular as he was on election day, 1936, when he polled 62.5 per cent of the major party vote, but his popular strength is still something to be reckoned with in all political speculation. At no time during the recent session of Congress did the President drop below the 56 per cent line, in spite of the fact that’ he was constantly under fire from Republicans and conservative Democrats. The month-by-month trend since Congress convened in January has been:

selected cross-section of several thousand men and women in all parts of the country and all walks of life, so selected as to represent the opinions of the 45,000,000 persons in the voting population, 2 8 = ODAY’S survey underlines again the puzzle facing the Democratic leadership: Does Roosevelt’s- continued popularity, which is attested in the Institute’s surveys ang “in numerous other ways, mean that the voters want Roosevelt for a third term? There are many New Dealers in the Washington administration who would like to believe that it does mean that. But Institute surveys on the third-term question indicate that a majority of voters do not favor a third term —even though many of them are enthusiastic supporters of President Roosevelt in his present term. As compared ‘with. the 56.6 per cent who support Roosevelt today, the Institute finds that only 40 per cent of the voters say they will vote for Roosevelt ~if he runs for a third term. 8 8 8 INCE today’s survey is the first test of Roosevelt’s popularity since passage of the much-dis-puted A bill—which Roosevelt approved—abolishing the prevailing wage principle, it is interesting to note that the President’s popularity declined in the past four weeks with véters in the industrial East and Midwest but increased ‘throughout the South. The new WPA wage rates have meant higher rates in the South than before, while WPA workers in the North and East have had i earnings reduced in many

SUIT CHALLENGES INSURANCE RULING

The Allstate Insurance Co., 333 N. Alabama St. today challenged the validity of a State minimum automobile liability insurance rate rulirig

lin a suit filed in Circuit Court.

George H. Newbauer, State Insurance Commissioner, was named defendant in the complaint, which seeks a declaratory judgment as to rights of the insurance company under state insurance laws. The insurance company charges in the action that the enforcement of the minimum rate ruling, which was promulgated by the Insurance Commisisoner April 20, will deprive the company of “fundamental rights guaranteed to, it by the Indiana Insurance Law and by the State Constitution.” The Allstate Insurance Co. has been writing automobile insurance for many years at rates less than the

line—spokesmen for the union indicated. The wage increase would affect approximately 470 men who operate trucks in: the plant or who handle finished products, they said. . Company representatives said other union demands had been met. Companies Affected Companies which would be affected if the threatened general strike were called would be the Borg-Beck Co., Chicago; Norge Manufacturing Co., Detroit Gear Co., Long Manufacturing Co. and troit; Ingersoll Steel Co. of Chicago and New Castle, Ind.; Machine Universal Co. of Rockford, Ill.; Calumet Steel Co. of Chicago Heights, Ill.; Morse Chain Co. of Ithaca, N. Y.; Marvel-Schebler Co. of Flint, Mich.; Warner Automotive Parts Co. Auburn, Ind, and the Muncie Foundry Co. of Muncie, in addition to the three plants already closed. Union officials did not set a date for the general strike call.

SIX HELD IN RAID Police reported they raided a place in the 400 block E. Washington St. early today, found six men playing poker, and charged Arthur Billman, 34, with keeping a gambling: house. The others were charged with visit--
