POLL SHOWS
MORE LOSSES
BY NEW DEAL

NEW YORK, Dec. 81. U.P)-Latest
returns from the Literary Digest
presidential poll showed a further
loss in popularity for the New Deal.
A total of 87,158 votes have been
received of which 577,631 answered
negatively the question do you now
approve the acts and policies of the
Roosevelt New Deal to date?" This
brought the negative percentage to
the new high figure of 58.51 per
cent. Last weeks percentage was
57.69.
Eleven of the 10 southern states
continued solidly New Deal. Only
Florida and Oklahoma voted against
it. The IL middle western farm
states continued balloting more
than 3 to against the administra-
ton.
Forty one states have reported
thus far. Twenty-Five of these
showed displeasure with the ad-
ministration, while IL were in sup

ed today by Ray Edgar, new south

PRESIDENT TO
FACE DIRECT
HOUSE TEST

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. W.H-A
direct test of President Roosevelt's
strength in the House will be forced
on the currency initiation issue dur
ing the first two weeks of the ses-
sion, it was learned today.
Supporters of the Frazier-Lemke
farm mortgage refinancing bill,
calling for a potential currency ex-
pansion of 100000, plan to
open the session with an imme-
date drive for vote.
Sponsors of the measure, which
has the backing of 80 state legisla-
lures in memorials to Congress, lack
IL names on a petition designed to
force a vote over administration
wishes.
Democratic leaders are quietly
laying plans to prevent completion
of the petition by pressure on mem
bers. The Frazier Lemke bloc has
been canvassing members during the
recess. Rep. Usher L. Burdick, r.,
N. D., said the necessary additional
names should be obtained a week
after Congress convenes.
House leaders also expect an early
test of strength on the Townsend
Old Age Pension plan, although they
are not as worried about the
strength of this bloc. A petition to
lforce a vote on a modified form of
the Townsend plan has but AZ
names.
Townsend and Frazier Lemke bill
supporters are expected to caucus
on January or in an effort to
establish an effective coalition work
ing for both bills.

There were lot of county officials
in the Wilson school auditorium last
night, some of them among the 30
odd persons on the platform and
more of them among the 1000 or
more inside and outside the big

a covetous light in his eyes at the
thought of that many votes packed
into the same room.
The only one who got to say any
thing was an appointive officer, S.

collection. Maybe Mac wasn't think

DR.. Townsend pictured for his

political system under which the

abolished. He visioned thousands
of pension clubs through the ma
