POLL COMMENT
IN CITY DIVIDED
Political Leaders Split on
Party Lines About
Digest Vote.

Leading Indianapolis political fig
ures today split on strict party
lines as they studied results of the
Literary Digest poll which showed
$3.50 per cent of the straw voters"
against the New Deal.
The poll listed 63958 votes from
Indiana with 1888 (59.65 per cent?
against the New Deal and 25,8O5
(40.35 per cent? in favor of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's policies. y
Former Republican Senator Ar
thur r. Robinson pointed out that
previous Digest polls have shown
only small degree of error, while
Democrats, from Gov. McNutt down,
attacked the wording of the Di-
gest's questions.
Local comment follows:
ALT 0. Meloy, former United States
marshal (Rep0: 1.-The Literary Di-
gest poll, I believe, reflects accu-
rately the sentiment of the people.
The people feel we are not getting
ahead "a much as we should"
Arthur r. Robinson, former United
States Senator CRep.O: II under
stand that Literary Digest polls have
never had~a more than q per cent
margin of error. The results are as
I find the thought as I go around
among the people"
Walter Pritchard, attorney and
former Republican nominee for
Mayor: my observations convince
me that the trends shown in the
Literary Digest poll are correct"
Arthur L. Gilliom, former Repub-
lican State Attorney General: Il
believe it is a fair reflection on what
the people think of the New Deal.
However, there is some question as
to their attitude toward the Presi-
dent"
Statements of some of the Demo-
Gratis follow:
Gov. McNutt: Certainly, too much
reliance should not be placed OH
the Literary Digest poll, considering
both the misleading words in which
its query was phrased and the scope
of its canvass. A great many per-
sons might disappfove of one or
more of the national Administra-
TONS policies, yet still be ardent

LINCOLN, Neb, Jan. 17.-Former
President Herbert Hoover and the
Columbia BroadcaSting System ex-
tended mutual apologies today be-
cause Hoover took two minutes too
long last night to expound his plan
for an AAA substitute and was cut
off the air.
Hoover had only seven lines of a
prepared address to deliver when,
two minutes past his allotted time
and with network schedules falling
into confusion, an engineer a thou
sand miles away in New York cut
him off in midword. A jazz orches-
ira followed.
The former President said it was
entirely his own fault. His Secre-
tary, Lawrence Richey. vouchsafed
that Columbia was most liberal in
allowing the extra two minutes. :"
Columbia officials announced regret
fully that had their engineer known
Hoover had only seven lines re-
naming The would, of course, have
allowed him to finish"
Richey attributed most Of the for

applause during the fourth of his

subsidy of special crops, such crops
as would improve soil or would Gre

Bulletin Says.

BY Cntted PTCSS
LONDON, Jan. 17.-Rudyard
Kipling, apparently lowering on the
edge of death, was kept alive by his
doctors today in the desperate hope
that the gain of even an hour might
bring a turning point and he would
survive.
A bulletin was issued from Mid
dlesex Hospital at $40 p. m. which
said:
While Mr. Kipling's condition is
still regarded as extremely critical,
it must not be regarded as hope
less"
So, with blood transfusions, saline
injections and oxygen, the doctors
and nurses fought to stem the
creeping infection from a perforated
gastric ulcer and save the poet and
novelist.
Hospital authorities officially de-
MED earlier reports that Kipling
was in coma, saying treatment
was being confined to injections and
oxygen.
A. E. Webb Johnson, his chief
surgeon, said earlier that it was
doubtful whether Kipi.ng could live
through the morning. He had lost
strength during the night.
while there is life there is hope y
he said. But the patient is very
low. He has rallied occasionally
But naturally he is getting most
tired and the loss Of energy is an
ever-present menace"
