TOUGH TASK IF "HE RUNS AGAIN
Per Cent Back Policies,
~ Only 47 Per Cent Favor ~ A Third Term.
By DR. GEORGE GALLUP : Director, American Institute of ERE Opinion “PRINCETON, N. J, March 13%
One of the most persistent political “qu
measuring thirdterm sentiment the week after the 1936 election and since that time has conducted more than 87 complete nation-wide surrT veys on the third term, approaching the subject from every possible point of view. = An analysis of all these studies, including the most recent, indicates ~ that even though Roosevelt is more popular as President today than he Was in 1936, sentiment against a term is 80 great that he would have a hard time being elected at the present time.
Third Term Opposed
=. While 64 per cent of voters polled by the Institute approve of Roosevelt as President at this point in * his second term, only 47 per cent are for a third term in a study completed this week. This compares with 46 per cent last month, ©
,- Translated in terms of the vote - cast in 1936 (45,000,000), the Insti- . fute’s studies show that whereas - Roosevelt has the following and support as President today of ap- - proximately 28,500,000 voters, at least 7,500,000 of these voters say ‘ they would desert him at the present time on the basis of their
feeling against a third term.
~ The qualification “at the present fime” is important, for the studies indicate that events have a great impact on public sentiment, particularly in connection with the - third term. : _-Prior to the outbreak of war in Rurope, sentiment for a third term averaged about 35 per cent, which ‘meant the odds were overwhelmingiy against the President’s re-election. ~~ .:Since the war, however, there has ‘been a rising trend, today’s vote of ‘47 per cent comparing with 40 per xent las. August, and 33 per cent Jast May. : £1 Voters Watching War
~ Since the war brought substantial changes, it is clear that one main key to sentiment favorable to a Ahird term between now and summer will he the course of events in Europe. The other factor will be the candidate whom the Republicans nominate. Past ctudies indicate that of the two, events in Europe are likely to play the mote important part in influencing opinion on the particular issue. A military offensive which arouses the public’s emotion and fear, and focuses attention on foreign policy will undoubtedly increase Roosevelt's third term chances, particularly since’ his foreign policy has been found widely popular. : On the other hand, if public attention is fixed largely on domestic issues. third term sentiment may revert to what it was before the foreign crisis began.

BARBER PRICES SETHERE AGAIN
Effective Tomorrow; Reports 714 of 878 Signed Pay,. Hour Petition.
The State Barber Beard today issued new prices and hours regulations for Indianapolis barber shops, effective tomorrow. The order was the same as that issued 10 days ago following a public hearing and cancelled an hour affer it was promulgated while it was investigated further. The regulations will force all barbers in Indianapolis to charge a minimum of 50 cents for hair cuts, 25 cents for shaves, and fixes shop hours from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m. daily
hour will be 7 p. m. > The schedule is similar to regulations issued last November. However, the previous regulations were invalidated by Circuit Court Judge Earl R. Cox on the ground that the Board’s procedure was illegal. The Board announced that 714 of the 878 barbers in Indianapolis had signed the petition for the order. “This number constitutes more than 80 per cent of all licensed barbers in the city,” the Board stated. : : Meanwhile, a suit contesting the constitutionality of the State Barber Control Law, brought by the Indpendent Barbers’: Association, is pending in the Indiana Supreme Court. State Board members said a recent survey showed that 453 shops in Indianapolis have been open an ayerage ‘of 70. hours: a. week and that the barbers have been working an average of 68 hours a week. The Independent Barbers’ Association contended that its members could not make a living under the minimum price schedule and 6 p. m. closing order..

Bankhead would limit campaign contributions to $1000 on pain of a fine of not less than $5000 and a penitentiary sentence of not less than five years. : : “ Both Senator Alben W. Barkley (D: Ky.), majority leader, and Senator Charles L. McNary (R. Ore.), minority leader, announced opposi= tion to the amendment. Senator Carl A. Hatch (D. N. M.), indicated favor for some law limiting contributions but questioned that it should not be done in connection with his pending bill. Moreover, he argued, the penalties suggested by Mr. Bankhead are too drastic. Smith Berated Bill The Bankhead amendment dealt with a point made repeatedly by opponents of the Hatch Bill—that its prohibition of political activity hy Federally paid state jodholders
while allowing the big contributors freedom to continue their activity. On similar lines yesterday Senator Ellison D. Smith (D. 8. C.) berated the Hatch Bill for covering ordinary jobholders while exempting high officials. He denounced President Roosevelt's activity in the “purge” attempts of 1938.
McNary and Hatch said they believed a final vote possible tomorrow. Again yesterday . Senator Barkley attempted to get the Senate to fix an hour for the vote—and thus end the session's most protracted debate —but again he was blocked by a Senator Theodore G. Bilbo (D. Miss.). : Hatch Has Gained Votes A record of roll calls shows that Senator Hatch has gained , votes steadily for his bill. In the first critical test last week, on an amendment by Senator John E.
