‘Only Three New Cases Have

On Broadening Ages.

By RUTH FINNEY | Times Special Writer | WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-—-With the Senate debate on military training nearly two weeks old, there were indications, today, that a filibuster is in progress against it, Opponents of compulsory train. ing resorted to an old filibuster tactic late yesterday-—insistence that long amendments be read in full from the desk before they are discussed. Up to that time the debate, while lengthy, circuitous, and continually interrupted for discussion of other matters and for quorum calls was nevertheless proceeding according to Senate tradition. In a long debate Monday in which the Senate debated whether or not it was moving slowly, Democratic Floor Leader Allen Barkle agreed with oppon-

INDIANA POLL TMES

THE

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP Director, American Institute of Public Opinion | PRINCETON, N. J, Aug, 21 State-wide surveys in Ohio, a state which has been a good barometer of national political sentiment since the turn of the century, show Ohio voters continuing to lean toward Wendell Willkie in the Presidential race, The Institute's latest poll, on which interviewing continued up through last week-end, finds Roosevelt polling 47 per cent in Ohio, to 53 per cent for Willkte—the same division of sentiment as was found tn the Institute's first post=convention poll early thix month The results represent a sharp defection from Roosevelt in Ohio since the 1938 election, when the President carried the state by a majority of 61 per cent vi the major party vote Moxt of the defection the survey finds, has come in the smaller cities, towns and rural areas throughout Ohio. Ohto is an important state to wateh in any Presidential election not only because of its 26 electoral votes, but because of its past rec ord as an index of national sentiment It has cast its electoral votes for the winning candidate in every election since 1900, which means that anyone wha had correctly fore cast the Ohio winner in the last 18 elections would have been pleking the national winner as well While there is no guarantee, of course, that Ohio will continue to be a good barometer state, its record was particularly impressive in 1938. Roosavelt polled 61 per cent of the major party vote in the state and 62.5 per cent of the major party vote in the nation--a difference of only 15 percentage points Most of the interviewing in the latest Ohio study was completed before Wendell Willkie's acceptance speech last Saturday, mo that the impact of his address is not reflected in the results Rural and small town areas in Ohio show a much sharper drop in sentiment for Roosevelt than do the urban centers This fact has an important bearing on the campaign because approximately two-thirds of the vote cast in Ohio is east in places of under 100,000 population, The attitude toward Roosevelt today as compared to 1936 is shown below | FOR ROOSEVELT
