'$5,000,000 Mod Model Village Now Useful in U. 8. Defense Program. BY BRUCE CATTON
Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Feb. 5—The | $5,000,000 model village which the Army built at Quoddy, Me. for a tide-harnessing project that never came off, has become a useful part of the national defense prograri. Under direction of the National Youth Administration, Quoddy is serving as a center in which hundreds of young men are being fitted for future roles as producers of war-essential materials. Within a few days, approximately 1000 young men from New England, New York and New Jersey will be in residence at Quoddy, te learn trades and acquire skills for various phases of defense protection.r At Quoddy, they will get from four months to a year of training, and will come out—if not fully qualified machinists or mechan.cs, at least men who are fitted to start in somewhere as a helper" with" prospects of developing quickly into a skilled worker. Biggest of the classes is in aViar tion, where some 200 boys are getting a grounding in airplane mechanics, construction and repair. Another large class is in the machine shop, which will have some 200 boys by March. For the work they do at Quoddy, the NYA ys get paid, monthly earnings ra ging, from $14 to $24, They don’t get paid for their school« ing, but the tuition is free. A

One of the major state positions, that of auditor, is held by Ana Frohmiller, -said- to be the first woman ever elected to such a position.

The actress was testifying in her $50,000 damage suit against John J. Lyons, restaurant proprietor, who, she charged, carelessly tossed a match, ignited her flufly evening gown the night of ‘Jan. 22, 1939, causing burns which kept her in a hospital for three months and left her legs, breast; back and hands ‘permanently scarred.” Mr. Lyons’ attorney, Edward L. Johnson, told the jury in his opening statement that the restaura-| teur “did not toss any lighted,
match” and had nothing to do with the incident.

Gallup Poll Reveals That Support Is About Same As at War Sfart.

PRINCETON, N. J., Feb. 5.—Pib-]| lic sentiment on the Ludlow war referendum, calling for a vote of the {people before Congress could eend men to fight overseas, is about evenly divided today, with” a slight majority in favor. A survey just § completed by the | Institute shows that the number who appreve the | referendum idea } has dropped in § ‘| the past year, and is now about | the same as it was when the. European war began. . |. F The war referendum bill, fest PT SAWP sponsored by Hoosier Rep. Louis Ludlow of Indianapolis has repeatedly come before Congress, in recent sessions, and was reintroduced in the first week of the present session. In September, 1939, when the European conflict broke out, only a bare majority of the nation’s voters —51 per cent—favored the referendum plan. In the ensuing months the plan grew somewhat in popularity, until by the first part of 1940 it was favored by approximately three-fifths of those questioned. Today, with the United States becoming more and more closely linked to the European situation through aid to Britain, the sentiment of the country is as follows:
“Should a vote of the people be
men to Agi» overseas? YeS cocoons
Only a small majority (5 per ne are undecided or without an opinion on thé&iSsue. Those who favor the idea argue that the people who do the fighting and the dying should have a voice in the decision, that a national vote would prevent a. hasty decision, and that “there might not be so many wars in the world-if the people were consulted.” Those who oppose the plan claim that it would weaken the powers of the President and Congress, that Congress is better qualified to vote on war than the people are, and that a referendum .might indicate national disunity to enemy powers. Of special interest is the vote of men in the population who are subject to the draft call. ¥ The study finds that males be~ tween the ages of 21 and 36 are no more in favor of the referendum than the rest of the population,
