In a supplemental smuiighe, the High Command said that the Allied troops which surrendered at St. Valery included a French general, commander of an army corps, one English and four French division commanders and inestimable amount of booty.

The Gallup Poll Shows—

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP Director, American Institute of Public Opinion PRINCETON, N. J. (June 12.— With the Republican nominating convention less than two weeks away, another sharp rise has come in the popularity of Hoosier-born, Wendell L. Willkie and a corresponding drop in the popularity of Thomas E. Dewey .in polls taken among the rank and file of Republican voters.

Institute of Public Opinion shows that Mr. Willkie has, in a little over two montks, jumped from nowhere to second Place in popularity as a presidential ‘candidate—a phenomenal rise. The leading-choices of the Republican rank and file — though they may not prove to be the choices of the Republican delegates in Philadelphia—are Mr. Dewey, Mr. Willkie, Senator Robert A. Taft and Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, in that order. Mr. Dewey’s lead is not as. great today as it was in a survey a month ago, but he continues to run far ahead of his rivals, with appreximately three times as many mentions as Mr. Willkie. There is still, however, a substantial group of Republicans—30 per cent—who express no choice on candidates at the present time. Republicans were identified in the survey as those persons who want to see the Republican Party winn the Presidential election this

year. While the popularity of Senators Vandenberg and Taft has remained relatively steady percentagewise,

the figures show a drop for Mr. Dewey from 67 per cent, to 56 per cent, to 52 per cent. During the same period, Mr. Willkie rose sharply in popularity, going from 3 per cent to 17 per cent. In polls previous to May 8, Mr; Willkie’s name did not even appear among the leaders, the total vote: cast for him being less than 1 per cent. The Dewey forces.can take comfort, however, from the fact that the ratio by which their candidate leads is still substantial, and that the Willkie forces have a long way to go to catch up with them. The changes in sentiment in the last month form a dramatic challenge to the validity of an old political theory. Politicians have argued for many decades that voters tend to clim onto-the “bandwagon” of a candidate sBown to be in the lead. They desire, according to this argument, to move with the crowd,

AIR RAID ALARM STARTLES ROME

Duce’s First Communique

Reports Malta Bombing, African Raids.

ROME, June 12 (U. P.).—Italy in its first war communique announced today the bombing of Malta, British naval base in mid-Mediterranean, and asserted that a British bombing raid on Italian North Africa had been repulsed. Authoritative sources had reported that Italian planes also had bombed Aden, Britain's Red Sea base, and that Italian Fascist and native troops had attacked British and French Somaliland. Of these reported attacks the communique made no mention. Rome's first. air raid alarm had startled the city into wakefulness

S. refugee ship Washington was taking prior to the time the vessel was stopped and threatengd with torpedoeing yesterday. A search of State Department communications indicated that official word of the ship's plans to stop at Galway was not sent Germany until Monday morning. At that time a message was sent to the American {Embassy in Berlin asking - that thé German Government be notified that the ship would proceed to Galway and that her contemplated course would be forwarded later. Description of the course was sent Monday afternoon.

approach the Maginot Line in power of resistance, but the French have concealed their real effectiveness. The fall of Paris to the Germans will mark the end of a successful 54|phase of the war for Germany, but it will not have a major effect on the outcome. In the war. of 1812 Washington was , captured, but America® won the conflict. In the Spanish Civil War, the anti-Franco forces held Madrid to the end, but lost the war, It is now becoming probable that if Paris is captured the new battle Lne will run from the Channel southeast to Paris and then swing northeast toward Sedan, where the original German breakthrough occurred.

LAlpine advance may imply some form of co-operation with Hitler's troops is being devised. The present minor operations of the Italians have no importance. A major stroke, however, must be contemplated by the Italians, for their strategy is based on the annihilation of the Allied forces in France. Yet the Alrine defenses are naturally so powerful that Mussolini may well hesitate to invite the ‘inevitable casualties.
