pr. Gallup's releases have been qualified by such "Outs" as inten- sity factors, margins of error, un- decided voters and so on, but even these haven't served to soothe the feelings of the G. 0. P. campaign leaders. So we have seen all week the claims that the Gallup poll is unreliable, and witnessed the Republican National Committee trot out new one, the Dunn poll, which gives Willkie the election.

 The Gallup poll, which helped win the presidential nomination for Wendell L. WiIlkie, is now an- athena to Republican leaders. It was Willkieis rise from nowhere in the Gallup poll that brought him first to the fore as @ serious con- tender at Philadelphia. His packers cited the poll figures to wavering delegates and it proved one of the most important factors in his nomination.

This comment is not offered to defend the Gallup poll, or any other straw vote, for who can forget the Literary Digest poll Of 1886 with its prediction of a Landon victory? It is made only to illustrate one of the usual pol itical maneuvers: If it's some thing good for our side, hooray; if it's not, it must be a lie.

enicker of the week was the published report that lover 15.000' people were at Library Park to hear Willkie. The next day 1t was changed to say that from 10000 to l5,000 in all had seen the can- didate on the streets and at the park during his Waterbury visit. Rep. Dan Mahaney will have strong support from veterans in his campaign for reelection. There's quite a bit of dissatisfac- ton in Republican circles over the party's nomination of social- ist candidate Franklyn Barringer for state senator in the 18th dis. tFics.

When, shortly after the Repub- lican convention, the Gallup re- ports had WilIkie leading in the presidential race, they were taken as G. o. P. campaign bibles. The first nationwide poll by Dr. Gal lup, the results of which were an- nounced Aug. 5, gave Willkie BOA electoral votes to 227 for ROose- welt. The Republican high conn mand at that time didn't make
 any complaints about the accuracy 0f the Gallup method.

guests attended the annual donor
luncheon of the Adas Israel Sister
hood yesterday at the Mayfiower
Hotel. More than $4,000 was raised
for the permanent Hebrew education

descendant of many generations of
rabbis and herself an unordained
rabbi.
Miss Levinthal said the obligation
of American women for service to
others should be recognized by the
Sisterhood, in view of the fact that
women of this country enjoy greater
economic, professional and social
freedom than any women in the
world today. She added it was the
duty of the sisterhood to see that
their homes were more than four
walls and roof.

Says England
Will Survive

Shakespeare's England can never
be destroyed no matter how many
bombs fall upon the buildings and
famous landmarks of the country,
Jan Struther, English author, told
members of the Womens National
Press Club yesterday at luncheon
at the Willard Hotel.
Westminster Abbey and other
buildings may be destroyed" she
said, but the kind of people who
built them and worked in them, the
kind of people that Shakespeare
wrote about, can never be destroyed" >"
Miss Struther, who came to the
United States five months ago, told
of her interest and liking for Amer
leans. indicating a special fondness
for the people of the Middle West.
She liked New England, she added,
but did not find the people of that
section as much like those Of Eng
land today as the citizens of the
Middle West.
New England" she remarked, "is
like the England before 1914, but
those in the Middle West are talking
and thinking as England is now"

SAYS Bluffs Have
Gone Out of Style

America must be prepared to have

for hemisphere defense as we'll as
her own continental needs, Wayne
Chatield Taylor, Undersecretary of
Commerce, told the Woman's Ma
tionall Democratic Club at lunch
con meeting yesterday.
Using as his theme American
Needs in the Light of the Present
European Situation" Mr.. Taylor
pointed out that certain decisions
have been made by the United
States to undertake defense of the
Western Hemisphere if necessary.
I'VE seek no wars" he said. "It
may well be that no one seeks war
with us, but with new alignments
developing almost daily we must be
in a position to protect ourselves
and rush to the aid of our neighbors
in this hemisphere.
Bluffs Out of Fashion.
Commitments to the Latin Ameri-
can republics and to Canada were
made voluntarily by this Nation,
the speaker declared. adding that
We must be prepared to fulfill our
obligations whether we are called
upon to do so or not.
Bluffs have gone out of fashion
in international affairs he as
serted
Whether we had time or not for
sufficient adequate defense was prob
lematical, Mr.. Taylor commented.
Il do know that we have no time
for idle debate" he declared, "for
coddling this or that industrial or
financial group. We must have the
active support Of every men, woman
and child" he continued. 1--WE have
unity of purpose, we must have
unity of performance"
Voluntary Sacrifices Necessary.
Voluntary sacrifices on the part
of all would be necessary to retain
our liberties and our democracy,
Mr.. Taylor said. Personal ambi-
tions and comforts must be. put
aside to make democracy workable,
he added.
Mr.. Taylor was introduced by
Judge Lucy HoWorth. Mrs. Claude
