WHICH PARTY BEST

FOR DEFENSE JOB?

Gallup Poll Shows Voters Evenly Divided, Although Some Cross Partisan Lines to Name Opposition as More Qualified to Handle Task.

By DR. GEORGE H. GALLUP Director of Institute of Publio Opinion

PRINCETON, N. J., July 16.—Would the Democrats or the Republicans do the better job of building up America’s national defenses? That question—according to outstanding political observers—will likely be the major issue of the Presidential campaign. To see how many Americans are taking sides on the question at this stage of the

of the United States: “Which party do you think would do the better job of strengthering our country’s national defenses—the Republicans or the Democrats?” Today the results of the first study to be made on this issue show voters evenly divided as between the two major

parties, with a minority group saying that “it makes little difference” to our national defense which party is successful in November.

WAIT URGED ON ‘EQUAL RIGHTS’

'Mrs. Roosevelt Says Time Is Not Ripe for Such Platform Plank.

CHICAGO, July 16 (U, P.).—Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt yesterday stepped into the women's battle over an “equal rights” amendment to the Constitution, and asked the Democratic platform committee to reject a proposed plank indorsing the amendment, A statement by Mrs. Roosevelt was presented by former Rep. Nan Wood Honeyman (D. Ore.), after the platform committee had heard several women ask approval of the amendment. The Republican platform approved submission of the Constitutional change for state ratification. “I feel about the equal rights amendment just as I have always felt; namely, that until women are unionized to a far greater extent than they are at present, an equal rights amendment will work great hardships on the industrial groip which is after all, the largest group of wage-earning women,” said the statement from Mrs. Roosevelt. “Therefore, at the present time, for us as a party interested in the well-being and protection of the workers, to put into our platform an equal rights amendment would be a grave mistake and in this I think all the leaders of the workers would concur.” Supporters of the amendment contend that special legislation passed by some states discriminates against women and deprives them of job opportunities. Opponents of the amendment declare that special legislation is required to prevent exploitation of women by industry and to insure that their health is not affected adversely by long hours and night work.
