STRAW VOTES
DON'T REGISTER
IN HURRICANE

NEW YORK, Nov. 4 UN.S0.
Straw votes may show which way
the wind doth blow, but they don't
register much in a hurricane.
This was disclosed today in a
survey of the various straw polls
taken on the Presidential election.
Wide Off Mark
The balloting of some $4,000, 900
voters" 1.-THE poll that ended all
polls''-demonstrated that the poll
takers were quite generally wide Of
the mark.
OF the principal polls, the Cross
ley and Gallup polls were nearer
the mark, both predicting Presi-
dent Roosevelt's reelection by sub
Stantial majoritieS. Even they,
however, failed to accurately eSti-
mate it's unprecedented sweep.
These polls were taken by some
what different methods, but by So
called scientific sampling."
Digest Poll Amuses
The highly-touted Literary Di.
gest poll, which boosted of an un-

outcome of Presidential election
contests, was so completely wrong
that StatiSticians regarded it with
amazement today. How the Digest
poll is taken has never been fully
explained, that being secret" of

NEW YORK, Nov. 4. U.N.S).
Bald, genial Jim Farley, who chewS
gum as fast as the late Will

premier political prophet of all
time.

simply curbstone guessers, Farley
was the only one to call correctly
the Roosevelt landslide of 522
votes to in the electoral col
lege. Said Jim:
81 give 'em two States, Maine
and Vermont, and no more"
Last Wednesday night, Farley
gave a beefsteak dinner for the

the Roosevelt and Landon camps
and poll was arranged in which
each writer guessed" the cleo
toral vote.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May The majority and minority opin- ions of the United States su- pseme court in the case of the securities and exchange commis- 5ion and J. Edward Jones were really very spectacular in their implications.
 Search the courts history and you'll find no instance where so many observers felt the court had gone leaping over so many fences to enter a field which had nothing to do with the case be- fore it.
 Lawyers and laymen here, frie- nds and enemies of the new deal alike. think the conservative six man majority deliberately took the occasion to baWl out by in- fluence Senator Hugo Blacks lobby committee, which has beal on the pan for peeking at peo- ple's telegrams. It referred to unlawful searches aid seizures" "a rowing inquisitorial investiga- tion," and so on.

Is Setting the Pace
 Soviet Russia
(By The Associated Press)

MOSCOW, May 27-That the Soviet State must for the time being carry on with certain tra- ditions inherited from the bOur- 5eoisie was among the important announcements contained in a statement on governmental and social development of Soviet Rus Sia published recently.
 The statement said of the plan among other things, "The time has not yet arrived to abandon the principle and practice of com pulsion, that inequality in income and therefore distribution of ma terial comforts of life must con- tinue in the transitory period un der the protective guidance of the state"
 The statement said further that democraticization of the soviet system under a new constitution is now being formulated and will not lead to the creation of politi- cal parties or any organization opposed to the community party.
 These explanations are printed in the magazine Boleshevik, off cial organ of the central commit tee of the communist party.
 The new constitution under study will grant the right of eau al vote to all soviet citizens ex- cept those disenfranchized by the courts. The class origin of citi- zens is not to be taken into ac- count, and voting will be direct and secret.
 According to Josef Stalin, so- viet leader as quoted in the mag azine, the constitution will serve as a whip in the hands of the people against the badly working organs of the state"
 The magazine explained that our system will be devoted sole ly to the busting of bureaucrats and other unworthies by the cleo tion of the best individuals to office."

attention centered upon the king
of England. So it was not until
1886 that the romance began to
cause open comment.
King George V. Edwards father.
died last January. His eldest son,
trained from infancy to assume the
duties of kingship, succeeded to
the throne on Jan. 20. Ever since
his birth in 1894 he has been
carefully schooled TO take his place
as England'S 38th monarch. Soon
after mis- accession to the throne,
which was to hove been formally
celebrated in coronation ceremon-
les in May. 1887, he began to break
from the traditions and customs
of the throne. to demonstrate
spirit of independence.
And nowhere was this more evil
dent than in his relations with
Wallis Simpson. His intimacy with
her was unbroken; he continued
to see her as much as possible
and the relationship resulted in
their second yachting voyage to-
gether on the luxurious Nahlin,
last August.
Pictures began to be printed,
always showing the king in the
company of this unknown Mrs.
Simpson. Details about her life
and friendship for the king of
England also appeared.
On their return to England she
visited the king at Balmoral CaStel
in Scotland and the visit was duly
noted in the official court circular.
Edward did not attempt to keep
his love affair a secret. And, most
significant of all, there was no
longer much pretense about Mrs.
Simpsons own marital ties Simp-
son did not accompany them on
the Nahlin, he did not appear with
her at the many dinner parties
and visits.
