77 Per Cent Favor Birth Control Information if Given Through Public Health Clinics Run by Government
By DR. GEORGE GALLUP Director, American Institute of Publie Opinion ‘PRINCETON, N. J, Jan. 25.— With the adoption by South Carolina of a plan for birth control education as a regular part of its public health service, the American Institute of Public Opinion has conducted a survey to test public.sentiment on extending this plan elsewhere. Although birth control clinics sponsored by private organizations have been operating in. many states, South Carolina is the second
AMERICAN INSTITUTE PUBLIC’OPINION] birth control information in its public health clinics. Formal announcement of its program was made this week at the annual meeting in New York of the Birth Control Federation, The birth control education plan was first adopted by North Carolina health clinics two years ago. : : The institute asked:
right support to the vice grand,
“Would Fou. approve or disap-
state to furnish|
prove of having government health clinics furnish birth control information to married people who want it?” oi The vote of those with opinions was:
Approve ..........iseev.. 71% Disapprove ............... 23
Approximately one voter in every
10 (11 per cent) expressed no opin-|
ion, The institute has on this issue, as on many other questions of social importance, attempted to measure trends of sentiment in recent years. Taking no sides on any issue, its function is solely to report the facts about public opinion. In the course of measuring trends on the birth control problem it has made three previous surveys. A comparison ‘with today’s results shows a. slight increase — between five and seven points—in sentiment favorable to the birth control movament. Regardless of the manner in which the issue was stated, all the institute’s studies have found’ sentiment running between 70 and 80
In 1936, before it had become possible; through court interpretation of the law, to send birth control information through the mails, the institute asked in a survey: “Should the distribution of information on birth control be made legal?” . The vote was: { C80 sss peren 0% 30
A few months later, in July, 1937, another survey was taken on the following question: “Do you favor the birth control movement?” Yes No
In October, 1938, sentiment was recorded on the following issue: “Would you like to see a‘government agency furnish birth control information to married people who want it?”

These results compare with the 77 per cent vote today in favor of birth
The study found a higher favorable vote among young persons than among those in the older age groups. No great difference of attitude was found by economic groups. Both the upper income level at one extreme, and persons on relief
‘lat the other extreme voted ap-
proximately 8 to 2 in favor of birth control service through the health clinics. Voters who expressed their disapproval cited three main reasons: (1) that birth control is a private matter and should not be the concern of the government, (2) that the practice or spread of birth control . is contrary to religious principle, and (3) that it will lead to “race suicide.” Those: voting their approval expressed the belief that birth con-
trol information should be made;
available in order to help the poorer classes, that it would allow “better spacing” of children and better living conditions for those already born, and that people might as

Should the spinning wheel of po< litical fortune cause the McNutts to move from their Shoreham Hotel apartments to the White House, Mrs. McNutt would be vastly pleased. . Here since September, this pose sible First Lady likes. Washington ——and sees right through it. She catches on to the fact that this city is filled with quickly formed friendships which may not withe stand the first frost. “Washington is. a city where eve eryone knows everyone, but no one very well,” Mrs, McNutt says.
Mrs. McNutt will willingly bestow :
on Eleanor Roosevelt the accolade for fine First Ladyship, just as she says that Franklin D. is her favorite personality.
No ‘My Day’ for Her
Should she find herself the mise tress of. 1600 Pennsylvania Avee nue, however, she would not ate tempt to imitate “My Day.” “I have the deepest admiration for Mrs. Roosevelt's interest in eve erything, but I am no good at great causes,” Mrs. McNutt confesses. “Whatever good I can do must be done in a purely social way and through. individuals rather than organizations.” ¥ Asked what she would do if she did take over the White House, she declared: “I guess I'd just stay home.” “It may sound odd,” she explains, “but beneath all the glamour, brile liance and sometimes brittle exterior, Paul really is sensitive.
