Walter Beck, assistant highway

Drunken drivers. Beck said,

their condition and furnish a sub

The drivers who have been

TO Broadcast
Digest Poll
GOODYEAR Co. Will Announce Three
Times a Week Forecasts Of
Presidential Vote

p. w. Litchfield, president of
the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Com
pany, announced Tuesday that the
company has just completed ar
rangements to broadcast three
times a week for nine weeks the
results of the Literary Digest's
Presidential poll. This will be
the first time the Digest's copy
righted figures, which have a
record of forecasting elections
with unusual accuracy, will be
made available regularly W the
air under dual sponsorship. Good
year has arranged with the edi-
tors of the Digest to make the
returns public on a nation wide
network of NBC stations begin
ming Wednesday night. September
2. and continuing every Monday,
Wednesday and Fridav evening
thereafter until the day before
election. The final results will be
given on Monday, November 2.
Goodyear, of course. is not in
politics. Mr.. Litchfield states.
1T occurred to me, however, that
owing to the exceptionally intense
interest this year in the presi-
dental campaign, people through
out the country would be even
more interested in getting infor-
nation as to the progress of the
poll more frequently than it has
been available heretofore. 1t is
the duty, as well as the privilege,
of every citizen to vote. and if
in the light of this years extra
ordinary interest. these brOadcaStS
results in getting more people
than usually vote to do SO, I
think We shall be doing a prac-
teal public service as well as pro-
viding an interesting program OF
commercial value to the company.
so far as the results Ire con-
cerned. the broadcast will be bas-
ed entirely on the Digest's own
tabulations of its returns. John
B. Kennedy. noted author and
commentator. will announce the
results and officiate as editor of
the program. Goodyear has OBJ
tanned the right to broadcast on
Wednesday the weekly results

own publication and also to broad

Neither the Goodyear Company
nor the National Broadcasting
Company will participate in any
way in the distribution of ballots
by the Literary Digest or in the
compilation of the returns. All
the mechanics of the poll will be
handled by the Literary Digest
in the same manner in which it
has conducted polls on presidential
elections and other TOPICS of pub
lie interest since it first under
took this work in the 1920 cam
paign.
I'm 1882. for example. the Liter
arv Digest figures forecast the

than m per cent error In the
