BACK- £25 LAND TREND SHOWN IN STATE CENSUS
Follow Results of Test In Indiana.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 (U. P.).—
_° The “back to the farm” movement
of recent years still is in progress, but those returning to the “land” are not farming. That is one of the major results the decennial census, beginning April 1, is expected to show. Others
are: 1. Scarcity of jobs for persons in ‘teen ages. 2. Sharp increase in the number of married women at work or seeking employment. . - These advance predictions were made by the Commerce Department yesterday on the basis of a test census taken last summer in what is considered two representative counties—St. Joseph and Marshall counties, Indiana. South Bend, Ind. is located in St. Joseph County. Plymouth, Ind. is the largest city in Marshall County which is adjacent and south of St. Joseph County an represents an agricultural section of the state. Cites Good Roads
Secretary of Commerce Harry L. Hopkins said that the trend from the city to suburban areas was a result of good roads which enable residents to travel easily into town for shopping and work, and cheapér housing in rural areas. In both counties, urban populations decreased—3.9 per cent in South Bend, from 104,193 in 1930 to 100,087 in 1939. Rural non-farm population in St. Joseph County, however, increased 19.9 per cent. More than one-third of the males and nearly 40 per cent of the females in the South Bend labor force between the ages of 14 and 19 years were out of work or looking for a job, the census revealed. 20-24-Year Class Fares Better
Youths aged 20-24 fared better: 21.1 per cent of the males and 14.2 per cent of the females in that class being totally, unemployed. The percentage of females 14 years old and over who were in the labor force increased from 28.6 per cent in 1930 to 31.1 per cent in 1939, the statistics showed. Married women 15 years of age and over in the labor force numbered 4568 in 1939 Soiipared with 3577 mn 1930.

‘REGIMENTATION’
Defends ‘Personal Rights’ In Speech Before Irvington Club.
The currént trend toward regimentation of the professions is an invasion of personal rights, Clarence E. Benadum of Muncie, candidate for the G. 0. P. gubernatorial nomination, declared in an address before the Irvington Women’s Republican Club last night. “The system by which 11,000 beauty operators in Indiana are forced to patronize physicians politically designated by the State Beauty Culture Board is an example of the invasion of personal rights,” he asserted. “I believe surgeons and physicians in Indianapolis realize there is a move afoot to bring about socialization’ of their profession. I have taken the position that free men want to be free in their professions and trades. : “The proposed integrated bar is just another monster, identical with that force which now has designs on the the medical profession.” He declared they are the “Siamese twins of political iniquity.” “The general public should have freedom in its right to choose men from both professions who in their opinion would be the best qualified to serve them.”

MEDICAL EXAM FEE UNDECIDED
Association to Leave Charge Under Hygienic Law Up To Individual.
The amount of fee to be charged for medical examination under the
left entirely up to the patient and physician, it was indicated today. Thomas Hendricks, Indiana State Medical © Association executive secretary, declared there would be no association recommendation for a standardization of the fees to be charged. The law becomes effective March 1. : “The matter of fees is being left up entirely to county medical groups,” Mr. Hendricks said. “The matter of a possible fee standardization has been discussed in several counties but no action has been taken as yet.” Mr. Hendricks declared the as-
-|sociation is of the opinion that the
amount of fee should be left to a physician-patient agreement. “No one knows better than the family doctor,” he said, “how much a patient can afford to pay.” The fée will be charged. for the services of a physician in drawing a blood specimen and physical examination required under the new Act. Dr. Verne K. Harvey, State Health Director, pointed out that marriage applicants who could show proof of their inability to pay a medical fee for a pre-marital blood test and physical examination could secure the service free through local medical charities.

NEW YORK, Feb. 7 (U.

The group will hereafter be known as the Kin-Mother Association. Names suggested included “surmother,” “mother-elect,” ‘‘queenie,” “happy-mediator, ” “joyous delight,” “dovey” and “counselor.” The judges were Dr. Wilfred Kk, who promised to incorporate the new name in his dictionary; Mrs, Catherin Hayes Brown, mother of Actress Helen Hayes and Professor Quiz of the

The Gallup Poll Shows—

But Only 399% Say U. S. Should Advance Funds “For Military Needs.
{ By DR. GEORGE GALLUP Director, American Institute of Publie Opinion
PRINCETON, N. J, Feb. 7— Should the United States Government authorize a non-military loan to Finland? The pros and cons of this question
will be discussed in Congress in the coming weeks. Since the public has, for the most part, not heard the loan proposal. debated in full, public opinion at this stage is significant only as evidence of the extent of American sympathy for Finland. To obtain : some indication of opinion toward the loan at this early stage, the American Institute has polled the country on the following question:
“Some members of Congress favor our Government lending Finland money to buy farm products and other non-military supplies in this county. Others say this might get us into war. Do you think the Government should lend money to Finland?”
Those with pinion: voted as follows: Should Lend Should Not Lend..........
A small group—8 per cent—expressed no opinion. This vote should by no means be taken as a final expression of sentiment, for when the national discus-
sion of the Finnish loan brings all the implications to public attention, opinion .may change. The survey results are interesting, nevertheless, for two reasons: First, sentiment at the start of the debate is rather evenly divided. While the majority favor the loan, the vote for it is by no means overwhelming. Second, the strength of support! for the loan is revealed by the fact that even when the possibility of war is suggested in the survey question, a majority favor the loan. Sentiment on the loan proposal obviously is related to American sympathies in the Russian-Finland war. A recent study found 88 per cent of voters in sympathy with Finland, 1 per cent in sympathy with Russia, and 1t per cent neutral or no opinion. It is significant that while 88 per cent sympathize with Finland, only 58 per cent are willing to see a Government loan made to the Finns. The present loan proposal, outlined by President Roosevelt, specifies that the money may be spent only on supplies of a nonmilitary character. Is the public disposed to go farther and grant a loan which could be used for war supplies? Sentiment on this issue was tested in a second question in today’s survey. Those voters who said they approved a Bon-military loan, were then asked,
“Would you favor the United States Government lending money to Finland for airplanes; arms and other war materials?”
The vote was nearly two to one against this proposal:
AMERICAN INSTITUTE PUBLIC’OPINION
Those who favor granting a nonmilitary loan to the Finns, give, as their chief reasons, the fact that Finland “pays her debts to us so we should try to help her,” that “Finland is the victim of aggression,” that a loan would help to defeat “Russia and communism” and that it is a “legitimate loan for no military purpose. Those opposed to the loan argue that “it might get us into war,” that we should not “discriminate in favor of Finland,” and that we should not lend money to any foreign country, “no matter how much they need it.”.
