OPINION VARIES ON WAR VOTE

‘Poll Shows 56 Pct. Favor Referendum Before Overseas Fight.

' By DR. GEORGE GALLUP

Director, American Institute of Public Opinion

' PRINCETON, N. J., June 20.=The

campaign for a national referendum,

‘or vote of the people, on the question of war is being pushed by isolationist groups in Congress. The country has been divided on the war referendum idea, with a slight majority in favor, as shown in periodic checks by the American Institute of Public Opinion. The size of the majority has varied AMERICAN from Je to time, INSTITUTE running from ‘ as low as 51 per cent PUBLIC’OPINION] when the war broke out, to as

of 1940. The latest survey was completed early this month. The question: “Should a vote of the people be required before Congress can send men to fight overseas?”

Only 6 per cent expressed no opinion on the issue.

‘Proposed by Ludlow

The referendum proposal was first placed before Congress by Rep. Louis Ludlow of Indiana, who has sponsored it at nearly every recent session. At one time a House resolution to bring the bill to the floor for ponsideration failed by only a few votes; and the bill has continued to be the center of wide controversy

. and interest both in and out of Con-

gress. If a national referendum were taken today on the question whether the United States should go to war right now, there can be little ques-

+ tion that it would show a large vote

against entering the war.

The Institute’s latest measurement of war sentiment, as published May 16, showed the following vote among those with opinions:

“If you were asked to vote on the question of the United States entering the war against Germany and Italy, how would you vote—to go in the war or to stay out of the war?”

DIES SETS HEARINGS IN ‘RICHEST COUNTY’

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y. June 20 (U. P.)—Sheriff George A. Casey said today that Dies Committee investigators would begin closed hearings next Tuesday on subversive activities in Westchester, the nation’s so-called “richest county.” Sheriff Casey said he was notified of the hearing date by Stephen Birmingham, chief investigator for the House committee on un-Amer-ican activities. About 12 witnessss - will be questioned, Sheriff Casey said, and their testimony will determine whether a further, more extended inquiry will be made. The Dies Committee’s decision to check on subversive activities m the county, populated chiefly by persons whose businesses are in New York, resulted from thz work of Frank Capell, a special investigator, the sheriff said.
