FEW FAVOR WAR

Only 27% Vote ‘Yes’ to Poll Linked With Sending U. S. Craft to Isles.

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP Director. American Institute ! of Public Opinion PRINCETON, N. J., Feb. 17.—The widespread. notion that the sinking of American merchant ships by

German U-boats at some future date would automatically swing U. 8. public opinion -irresistably toward war—a no- | tion many good { observers have taken for granted —receives a sharp setback iw Sudy : just completed by A the American Institute of Public PUBLIC’OPINION} Opinion. An Institute survey found only 27 per cent saying they would favor “going to war” after the sinking of American merchant ships bound for Britain with _ war supplies. To a cross-section of men and women in all parts of the United States and in all age-groups and income-levels, the Institute put the question:

“If American merchant ships with American crews are used to carry war materilas to Britain, and some of them are sunk by German submarines on the way over, would you be in favor of going to war against Germany?” Would favor war 271% Would not faver war ...... 61 Qualified answers and undecided

Two important facts must be kept in mind: 1. The Institute’s survey did not this’ time raise the question of whether American ships should be permitted to carry goods into the European war zones or not. Such traffic is of course still prohibited by Congressional neutrality legislation and an Institute survey reported Jan. 17 showed a small majority of those. with opinions were still opposed to lifting this restriction. 2. The Institute’s survey referred merely to the sinking of U. S. merchant ships carrying war supplies to Britain—not U. S. warships nor to merchant ships in other sealanes. .

Sallee’s Report Is Of Sweetness and Light; Revenue Up.

By RICHARD LEWIS

One of the standard guages of how the City Park Department is getting along is the annual re-

port of Parks Superintendent A. C. Sallee, who generally tells all.

Department was in an uproar over patronage, Mr. Sallee’s .report: reflected the situation in no uncertain terms. Last year, when the merit system came in and the politics went out, Mr. Sallee’s report described the turmoil of the transition.

All Goes Smooth

The superintendent’s 1940 report, recently presented to Mayor Sullivan, is an idyll of sweentess and light. As may be guessed, everything has been running smoothly in the Park Department, the report says. Revenue is up, dissension is down

land due praise for. this situation

is rendered - the Park Board, the Recreation Advisory Committee and Department personnel. As the report has it, the Park Department is budding like a tulip bush, Unlike all other City Hall departments, the Park division opened 1941 with a $102,135 balance— enough to carry it along without a temporary loan until spring tax collections, according to Mrs. Looise Rich, auditor. All 1940 bills are paid. Prosperous, peaceful, the department is looking forward to a big year.

Golf Profits $5776

One feature of the report, however, is not quite clear. That is the golf course profits. The expense of operating the City golf courses last year was a full $15,000 less than in 1930. But the 1840 golf profit was $5776 compared with $25,808 ten years ago. One of the explanations given is that Sarah Shank and Riverside courses were torn up last season and were not ready until late. An-~ other is last year’s late spring which held up mass golf until June. Next year, on the basis of decreased overhead, Park officials expect a much larger profit.

GEORGE (. BIEGLER OF LOAN FIRM DEAD

Thorntown of Lafayette, a cousin of Mr, Biegler, will officiate at the services. The Rev. George S. Southworth of the Episcopal Church of the Advent will assist.
