GALLUP QUESTIONED ON NEW YORK POLL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14 (U, P). —A congressional committee now studying charges that the Gallup poll had been used to influence the elections sought an explanation today of why the poll did not follow its samplings and publicly predict that . President Roosevelt would carry New York state. Chairman Clinton P. Anderson (D, N. M) of a house campaign expenditures subcommittee, said this question and others remained to be answered before the group completed its report on the poll. The subcommittee visited Dr. George W. Gallup, director of the Institute of + Public Opinion at Princeton, N. J, earlier this week. Anderson sald Gallup was “Ine genious” and “that he personally

was surprised at the apparently accurate deductions that could be drawn from small samplings and a study of historical data. But the chairman sald he still wanted to know: “Why did Gallup say Just before election that Governor Dewey would carry New York about 50% to 49% per cent’ when his area samplings— pinpoint samplings, he calls them— showed that President Foosevelt would carry the state by 52 to 48 per cent, the percentage by which Mr. Roosevelt actually did carry the state?”

‘SOMEBODY LYING,” SAYS UMW. JOURNAL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14 (U, P.).~— The United Mine Workers Journal charged today that “somebody was lying” either in October ar December about munitions production. The U. M. W. Journal said that “we have never witnessed such a difference In war requirements as registered between Ogtober and December, 1044." “The only thing we can make out of ‘all these contradictions,” it said, “is that somebody has been fooling somebody.
