Director, American Institute of ublic Opinion

PRINCETON, N. J, Dec. 6— One political question which has come to the forefront in recent months, particularly since the European war just how strong a third-term President Roosevelt would run against a flesh-and-blood Republican candidate To find some indication, the American Institute of Public Opinion has conducted an experimental test in which it matched Mr. Roosevelt against Thomas E. Dewey, the young Republican district attorney

The results are by ho means a conclusive indication of ‘what might happen if these two men were actually the candidates in 1940, for events and developments in the coming months will almost certainly alter opinion to a greater or less degree. The issue presented to the voters, who comprised a carefully-selected Cross-sect of Doth parties throughout é country, was as follows “If Thomas Dewey runs for President in 1940 on the Republic an ticket against Roosevelt runhing for a third term on the Democratic ticket, which would you prefer?” The vote of those expressing preference follows:

man who seems to the Foundation, what happened? He said he didn't remember, he said that he hadn't prepared the figures. How can you ‘expect to unearth

facts with witnesses like that? “Why ‘doesn’t Mr. Hunt answer cross-examination instead ‘of continually ‘evading our answers.’ (C. Winfield Hunt, secretary of the

Mr. Deardorfl then told the Board that he had proof that milk distributors here were hauling milk to Hamilton County and selling it for 11 cents a quart. ‘Now,” Mr. Deardorft said, “tell me how the distributors can make profit at that price. Mr. Hunt has testified that it costs the distributors 11.8 cents for the bottle they deliver to your door.” Paul 'C. Wetter, president Indianapolis Federation of Civic community clubs, ‘charged that Leon C. Coller, Marion ‘County Milk Administrator, “is too distributorminded.”

No one representing our group has at any time used the work ‘strike’ in connection with any activities nor [have we at any time conferred with any union official.” | Farmers Receiving Less’ Representing the consumer, Harry S.
