Gallup Poll Shows 46 Per Cent Would Approve, 46 Per

ourse ‘Against Germany;

Churchill's Popularity Is Overwhelming. By DR. GEORGE GALLU®

Director, American_Institute of Public Opinion

PRINCETON, N. J., Nov. 15.—Although British citiZens have been herded nightly into air raid shelters by the crash of bombs and the “banshee howling” of the sirens, a substantial number are still opposed to retaliation against the Nazis by bombing the civilian population of Germany. When the persistent Nazi raids on English towns had been going on indiscriminately for over a month, the Brit- . ish Institute of Public Opinion conducted a survey to deter-

mine how much desire for revenge

existed in Eng-

land, Its survey asked voters the question: “In view of the indiscrimin ate bombing of this country, would you approve or dis-| approve if the R. A. F. adopted a similar | policy of bombing the civilian population of Germany?” The vote was as follows:

AMERICAN INSTITUTE

PUBLIC’OPINION

Approve Disapprove . Undecided ...

In the same survey, the British Institute, an affiliate of the American Institute, conducted one of its periodic checkups on: the popularity of the British Prime Minister. It found that support of Winston Churchill is overwhelmingly— the highest ever recorded in any poll on the popularity of a man in public office. The survey on Churchill put this question to the voters:

sees sen

“In general do you approve or disapprove of Mr. Churchill as Prime Minister?”

The results today, as compared to a similar poll in August follow:

Today August

Approve 88% Disapprove 6 7

Undecided ....,... 5 5

The highest vote of public confidence ever given to Neville Chamberlin in the British Institute surveys was 71 per cent in December, 1939. In the United States, in five years of polling, the American Institute has never found President Roosevelt's popularity higher than 69 per cent (February, 1934). The British Institute’s staif of interviewers, now numbering: about 200, has continued its work without interruption through the worst weeks of the air blitzkrieg. The staff is composed mostly of women interviewers, and men beyond the draft age. Each carries an identification card and a gas mask, and many have taken to wearing tin hats for protection against bomb splinters and falling debris while making their rounds interviewing a representative sample of British voters.

Democracy “Still Alive”

According to latest reports, the British public has responded freely to questions asked by the interviewers. Many observers have pointed to the British Institute's continued existence as evidence that British democracy is still very much alive. At no point has the work suffered from Government censorship. Results have been published at regular intervals in the London News Chronicle, the famous London newspaper directed by Sir Walter Layton. The interviewers have reported many curious incidents in the course of their work since the air blitzkrieg began. One witnessed the complete demolition of a private residence in which the owner was buried under a-Jandslide of bricks. When the owner was dug out, unharmed, his only comment was: “And now what am I going to do with the bloody ton of coal delivered this morning!”

FEDERAL CHURCH AID TALKS TO OPTIMISTS

Dr. Christopher Jeffares McConibe, chairman of the Evangelism

Department of the Federal Council of Churches, was to address the Optimist Club at noon today at the Columbia Club. Dr. McCombe, who is attending the National Christian Mission in Indianapolis this week, is the pastor of the Church of St. Paul and St. Andrew in New York.

INFANTRY GETS NEW MANUALS

Technique Changes Based On Lessons Learned From New Wars.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15—(U. P.). —Maj. Gen. Gearge A. Lynch, Chief of Infantry, has announced that the Army is adopting a new infantry manual as a result of lessons learned from modern warfare abroad. In announcing distribution of the manuals, Gen. Lynch said that it “represents the most important change in tactics and technique in infantry in many years.” Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson commented that the manual grew out of changes in technique resulting from semi-automatic rifles, anti-tank and anti-aircraft guns. “It emphasizes more sharply the need for efficient leadership of small combat groups in modern warfare,” Secretary Stimson said.

If we could leave the earth, traveling into space as far in one second as light travels in an entire year, we would have to continue for 16 years to reach the distance already penetrated by modern telescopes.
