Director, American Institute of Public Opinion

PRINCETON, N. J. Dec. 20—The British request this week for Amer-

{can financial aid focuses attention questions that will come before the new Congress in January—the question whether the Johnson Act should be modified to permit loans to Britain. With Chairman Bloom of the House For-

Committee advocating amendme n t, and Senator Hiram Johnson, author of the Act, fighting any alteration of the law, - the controversy Dr. Gallup « is already well under way. The latest study, completed by 8 Institute just before the British fequest, indicates that sentiment jor changing the Act is approxiately the same today as it was pb month ago. But there has been kb substantial increase since last day. : :

NEWARK, N. J., Dec. 20 (U.P.).— Mayor Meyer C. Ellenstein of New‘ark proposetl yesterday that a World War ship building yard at Port Newark be turned over to the British for the construction of merchant ships. . Mr. Ellenstein said he had asked Governor-Elect Charles Edison to negotiate with the United States

The traditionally isolationist Middle West stands out from the rest | _of the country as the area least " willing to see the Johnson Act changed.
