CLERGY VOTE HEAVILY AGAINST
new DEAL In POLL OF DIGEST

The anti-Administration major
ity from clergymen in New Eng
land is considerably less than it
was in the recent main poll when
the northeast section of the coun-
try balloted nearly to l against
the New Deal.
Maryland and Delaware show
the heaviest clergy vote, of 4 to
1, against the New Deal.
The clergy in West Virginia,
Washington, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
New York, New Hampshire, Mas
sachusetts and Florida indicate
approximate majorities of 8 to l
against the New Deal while those
in the other thirty-five states reg
ister less pronounced oppositions.
"Of the 21,606 who responded
to the poll, 1912 vote mo- and
6,434 vote yes" the magazine
states in it's current issue.
"The negative percentage
70.22-is almost per cent high
er than that of the main poll.
Only 29.78 per cent of the clergy
men vote yes whereas in the
10000, 000-ballot poll the favor
able percentage was 37.O6.
Another way of showing the
results is to point out that more
than seven clergymen out of ten
are opposed to New Deal policies
today.
GIN The Literary Digest Poll of
1884. on the same subject, 49,
513 churchmen approved the New
Deal, while a minority of 1886
opposed it.
Analysis of the figures by
states shows only Alabama, Mis-
sissippi and South Carolina clergy
men giving a majority for New
Deal policies. In the 100000
ballot poll twelve states are fav-
orable.
Letters received by The Lit
erary Digest show the conflict
of political opinion among the
country's churchmen. There is
much praise for The Literary Di-
gest for conducting the poll. Also
there is criticism, to which The
Literary Digest is glad to give ex-
preston"

American University of Beirut
where students of 80 nationalities
get modern education.
The tongue of Xerxes and Da-

that stay of their youthful schol-
ars in Syria might wean them
from the parent language.
All teaching at the institution.
founded in 1866, is in English. AT

self.

The clergy are more opposed to
the New Deal than the country at
large according to the findings of
a special Literary Digest poll of
the nations clergy of all denom-
nations which has been conduct
ed since the recent 100000
ballot referendum of the maya
zine on the Administrations poll
cies.
A total of 21,606 clergy re-
turned voted ballots of which
1922 per cent were tailed mo-
and 29.78 per cent Eyes" in an
ever to the question: u" Do you
now approve the acts and poll
cies of the Roosevelt New Deal
to date?"
The final returns of The Lit
erary Digest main poll to the gen.
eral voters, which was published
five weeks ago. showed 62.66 per
cent of the participants against
the New Deal.
A poll on the same subject
conducted among the clergy in
the early summer of 1884 indi-
Gated that 55 per cent of the
clergy were in favor of the Admin
istration's policies then.
Only in three states, Alabama,
Mississippi and South Carolina,
are the clergy shown voting in
favor of the New Deal in the
current tabulation which is pub
lished in this weeks issue of The
Literary Digest. These three
states evidence approximately 8
to 2 majorities for Roosevelt's
acts and policies.
The clergy of Arkansas, Geor-
gia, Kentucky, Louisiana, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vir-
GINA and Utah are recorded as
disappearing Roosevelt's policies
in the present poll while in the
recent nationwide poll the gener-
al voters in these states were
shown supporting the New Deal
substantially.
In forty-five states the tally of
the clergy referendum indicates a
majority opposed to the Admins

FOR HURRICANES
FLORIDA REPRESENTATIVE
ASKS FOR ONE MILLION
DOLLARS TO CONSTRUCT
BUILDINGS FOR REFUGEES
Oy Associated PresI

WASHINGTON, Feb. 90
Representative Wilcox (Dem.,
Fla.) envisiOned today the Flor
ida keys of the future spotted
with combination community CEN
tiers and hurricane sanctuaries.
The unique structures where
music and parlor games could be
enjoyed while a tempest ragged
outside are part of his $1,000
900 proposed storm relief pro-
gram.
Pointing out the buildings
would be constructed only in sec
tions where homes are not equip
ped to resist hurricanes he said:
Hurricanes are nothing to
worry about if you've got some
place to go that's safe. The peo-
pie are prepared in the larger
cities. It's the folks in these
other areas I'm thinking about. If
they can't find a deep hole to
ride in it's too bad sometimes"
The congressman said the build
ings would be so constructed by
the works progress administration
that when hurricane wasn't
threatening they could be used
for town halls and gathering
places.
With the $4,000 worth of new
weather bureau instruments he is
asking of congress, and cO-opera-
ton of Great Britain and Cuba,
he predicted the hurricane of the
future would mean only chummy
get-together of the country folk,
so far as they are physically con-
cerned.
With a series of observation
posts in the Bahamas, Cuba, the
West Indies and more for Florida,
Wilcox predicted the hurricanes
could be forecast two weeks be-
fore they reach the United States.

course" he said, "till within a
few hours when they'll strike and
just about how hard"
With such a system of observa-
ton in operation the Floridians
could go about their business nor
mally until time to leave for
''town hail." he said.
There they go hold a dance,
put on amateur theatricals, talk
over old times. discuss politics OIL
otherwise amuse themselves"
The representative said Eng
land and Cuba have signified in
establishing the observation posts
and exchange storm information
with the United States.
"SOme people in Florida" he
added, might not like to admit
we have hurricanes, but that's
just like Californians saying they
don't have earthquakes"

SPOTLIGHT TURNED ONDUKE OF
YORK WHO BECOMES BRITISH HEIR
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Feb. &c. = King
Georges death has turned the
spotlight upon the quiet Duke OF
York who as heir presumptive to
the British throne energies as a
new world personality.
Even the British know little
about him. Shy, home-loving, re-
firing, this prince of the House
of Windsor has all his life
deliberately, whenever possible,
kept himself from public at
tention.
He deputized for his father at
public functions when duty de-
manded but always arrived with
out fanfare, said his piece and de-
parted
Man OF Varied Talents
Now, on all sides, the public is
reconsidering Albert Frederick
Arthur George, Duke of York,
vice admiral of the royal navy,
lieutenant general of the army,
marshal of the air corps.
Eighteen months younger than
King Edward, he is "Bertie" to
those who know him well.
Remarkably diverse interests
are attributed to him. He knits,
is interested in the welfare OF
working people, can WELD a pick,
is a good sailor. can cast iron
plates in a smelling factory, and
stay home whenever he gets q
chance.
He likes the movies, reads de-
tective stories. enjoys the harp
music of his wife, hunts, COLTS
and, by sheer force of will, has
overcome suffering.
Under Fire In World War
Tutored in early life by the
same tutor employed for Prince
Edward, he and the king were put
through military drill by the same
pipe major of the. Scots Guards
and by the same sergeant major
of the Coldstream Guards.
Then King George sent him to
the naval training school. There
for four years Albert studied
history, navigation, general sub
jects, went for a cruise, learned
to play football, became a long
distance runner, and when the
World war began, went to sea.
He took part in the Battle OF
Jutland, being under fire through.
out that encounter, on the battle.
ship Collinswood. Later, he saw
duty in the sea zone as turret of.
ficer aboard the battleship Malaga

but was forced into hospital
ashore where for months he was
desperately i'll of stomach ulcers;
was twice operated upon.
Deeply conscious of his obliga-
tions, the duke has interested
himself in labor problems. He is
president of the Industrial Wei
fare Society and maintains a sum-
mer camp in Kent to which he
invites sons of Workers and of
aristocrats alike. He used to play
golf with Frank Hodges, a union
miners leader.
Suffering Doomed To Crowd
1t was we'll known the duke
referred to 'rHis Majesty" and
''my father" during Georges life
time in order to avoid saying
"the kicking" His suffering at
tracted unusual attention in 1926
when he opened the Wembley
Exposition.
Standing before a battery of
microphones, his voice carried
only few feet away. Turning to
a friend on the platform, he said
just as the electricians turned
on the current, so that a gargan-
tuan voice doomed forth" the
d-d-damned thing doesn't WV
work"
Several years ago he cured
himself of stammering by months
of effort.
He is an authority on tartans
and as Duke of York is entitled
to a seat, but not a vote in the
House of Lords. He "to all prac-
teal purposes" is dependent on a
grant of $125,0OO a year voted
to him by the nation. He and the
duchess live in a sooty mansion
on Piccadilly at Hyde Park Cor
ner, across the park from Buck
ingham Palace.
