TWO-THIRDS OF
NATION BELIEVES WE'LL AVOID WAR
Fear of Involvement Has Dropped Sharply Since October.
By DR. GEORGE GALLUP or, American Institute of Publie
PRINCETON, N. J, Feb. 16.—|
Public fear that the United States will be drawn into the European war has declined sharply during the last four months in public opinion studies by the Institute. Whereas only a small majority of voters polled last October thought the country could stay out of war, sentiment has changed to the point where

more than twothirds believe the United States will avoid armed conflict.
LOCAL DENTIST
Whether t h e country will or will not go to war is, obviously, a question in the realm of pure speculation, for the answer will depend largely on the course of events. Nevertheless, the rising confidence in our ability to stay out is significant. Some observers of war psychology have maintained that when the people of a nation come to look upon a war as inevitable, and fatalistically resign themselves to the idea, the chances of getting into that war are enhanced. For - this reason the following trend of sentiment, as shown in Institute studies, is noteworthy.
“Do you think the United States will go into the war in Europe, or do you think we will stay out of the war?” Will will Go In Stay Out Last October .... 46% 549 Today ..... seuss 32 68 The trend will be of special interest to those students of neutrality legislation who recall the arms embargo debate in Congress last autumn. The group of Senators who felt the embargo should not be repealed argued that the nation would be brought one step nearer war if it were repealed, and their contention had some effect on public opinion at the time. But nearly four months have elapsed since the embargo was lifted and, as today’s study shows, public fear of involvement in the war has declined rather than increased. However, any objective analysis of opinion must always allow for the effect of future events. A smashing German offensive in the spring, a large scale, bombardment of open cities, or a deliberate flouting of American rights abroad by one of the belligerents might cause voters to change their minds about the possibility of avoiding war.
Institute , studies have cleariy . shown, however, that the public does not desire war. Sentiment is, in fact, almost unanimously opposed to American armed participation, the ratio being 97 per cent against, to only 3 per cent in favor. Asked why they thought -the United States would stay out of the war, those interviewed in the Institute survey gave the following chief reasons: . 1. The people are overwhelmingly against war and would not stand for American participation. 2. The United States learned its lesson in the last war. 3. The nation would have everything to lose and nothing to gain. Those who think the country will be drawn into the war sooner or later feel that it is impossible for & nation the size of the United States to “keep isolated when most of the world is at war,” or that the nation’s sympathy with England and France will put us in if the Allies meet with serious reverses.

JACKSON DISMISSES CHARGES AGAINST 16
CHICAGO, Feb. 16 (U. P.).—Attorney General: Robert H. Jackson today discarded as “inappropriate” one of the last legal actions ordered by his predecessor in office, Associate Supreme Court Justice Frank Murphy. He dismissed charges against 16 persons who were indicted in Detroit. by a grand jury, ordered by Justice Murphy, for allegedly conspiring to induce Americans to enlist in the Spanish Loyalist Army. “Since these acts were not prosecuted when they were new or current,” he said, “it seems inappropriate to begin prosecution for activities so long known to the Gov-

TINY ‘GADGETS"
ARE SPECIALTY OF MALLORY GO.
Numerous Advancements in Radio Made by Local Firm. ;
You turn on the radio in the morning, drink your orange juice cooled by electrical refrigeration, drive downtown, use the telephone —for all these, you probably should thank Indianapolis-made Mallory products. It's all done in a plant on E. Washington St. that is approaching the five million dollar mark in net yearly sales. The factory, started in 1916 by P. R. Mallory, is small by ordinary industrial standards. - That's because the company makes tiny things— switches for instant tuning, condensers small enough for pocket radios, - vibrators that change DC into AC current and make automobile radios possible, and volume control switches. Make Many ‘Gadgets’ The main building is three stories tall. There are scores of girls and many men working over rows of tables inserting, clamping and testing thousands of specific types of “gadgets” that go into modern radios. The Mallory Co. has initiated many advances in radio and electrical work and has built others on order. It is solely responsible for a new condenser that takes up oneeighth the space of the larger models but has the same capacity. This one refinement, more than any other, is responsible for the small, compact and efficient radios available todey, company officials say. The company makes points for switches—turns out literally millions of them monthly. Tungsten is used and lately they have been putting silver caps on the tungsten to get the best combination of hardness and conductivity. Silver-Banding Developed This led to one of Mallory’s newest inventions—a process of "bind-ing-on” silver to a copper switch or bearing. THe silver can be laid on in thicknesses of as small as .001 of an inch. ; In switches the silver acts as an almost perfect conductor and its wearing ability makes it economical. The strength of the silver greatly increases the life of a bearing at a slightly increased cost. Recently the company has been advertising its welding tips that, according to officials, make possible the great Budd streamlined railroad cars. The Budd cars are of stainless steel. Their strength and beauty depend on a perfect welding job. Before the use of Mallory welding tips the electrical charge was so strong it seared the metal. The new tips carry so powerful a charge for such a short time that they are able to bind the metal without marking. It’s a Mallory rectifier, incidentally, that changes AC to DC current and puts a whistle on your model electric train. The company does a large business in South America in radio parts and replacements. Its European business is largely with metals and machine parts and it has branches in England, France and Italy. The Washington St. plant was enlarged about 10 years ago and a new building to house the firm’s silver-banding process is now being constructed on adjacent property.
