One voter in seven (169) said he was dnteeiten or without a fefinite opin The publi c's determination to let nothing stand in the way of national defense is shown by the fact that even among voters in the upper income groups, a slight majority favored greater regulation of industry for defense purposes, while a majority in the lower income groups approved a ban on strikes in these same industries.
