ENGLAND amazed
We in England simply can't
understand the near defeat of ex-
tension OF the selective service
act by the congress of the United
States" wrote a friend Of mine
from England. I'VE felt sure" he
continued that America was
about to go into the war with us
lock. stock and barrel. but the
passage of that law by only one
vote would indicate that we have
been barking up the wrong tree.
What Is the real feeling over
there? How much help can we
actually expect from America?'
II is natural that an English
man. II he gets the same news re-
ports as we do over the radio.
would think America Is on the
verge OF war. When Mr.. Church
hin and Mr.. Roosevelt held their
dramatic meeting at sea, most
Englishmen and a lot of Americans
thought the conference would con
clude with plans for us TO declare
war.
But actually. as Mr.. Roosevelt
knows. the majority OF people in
this country are still opposed to
sending an expeditionary force to
Europe. They are in favor OF Civ
ing an help possible TO Britain. so
far as equipment goes. but they
continue TO draw the line at "all
aid short OF war"
The answer To my English friend
is: Americans know IL is necessary
10 see Hitler beaten. They want to
help you beat him. But IL they can
do the job by giving you guns in
stead OF shooting the guns them
selves. that's what they want to
do. That may seem selfish. when
we consider Hitler a common
enemy. but there are still lot OF
people in our country who think
IL Is a lot more your war than
ours-who think there is a lot of
difference between a 20-mile chan
rel and a 3.O00-mile ocean separat-
ing them from the enemy.

why a lot of US voted against the
extension OF selective service.
That's why the great majority OF
us would vote against a declara-

sent are against our entrance in

ferently about it. We would be
violating our duty II We. consider

Of such a large majority OF the
people we are here to speak for.
I'd tell your British friend TO keep
an eye on the Gallup poll.
How many congressman are in
nuenced by the Gallup poll and
other similar polls is a debatable
question. but there is no doubt
that polls of public opinion are
playing a bigger part in govern
ment policy today than any method
ever used before for taking the
naton's pulse.
GALLUP accuracy
DR.. George Gallup. head of the
American Institute OF Public
Opinion, broke into the headlines
in 1886 when. based on his scienti-
fic methods of checking public
opinion. he issued an amazingly ac-
curate prediction of the national
vote in the presidential election.
Since that election DR.. Gallup
has continued TO predict many 9th
er elections with uncanny accuracy
so that each year there are thous.
lnds OF new converts who look 10
Or. Gallup for a clear picture OF
public opinion.
But there are still many who
still refuse TO believe that public
opinion can be measured by the
Gallup sampling method.
DANGER representation
DIR. Gallup doesn't know. him
self. how much influence his pools
may have on the votes OF congress
men. But he told me recently
that there are some members OF
congress who think there ought TO
be law against such polls.
The danger. from the viewpoint
OF these congressman. is what
would happen TO our representative
form OF government IL all the peo-
pie in the United States became
convinced that a poll was a sure
fire measure of public opinion.
AS they see II, such a condition
in a country which is supposed to
be governed by the people, would
eliminate the need for congress
altogether Laws could be passed

of the people as indicated by the
poll. And congress would become
about as necessary as our present
electorate college-it would just
vote according to instruction as
indicated by the polls.
Such danger does exist, as
does the even greater danger OF
fraudulent polling. but neither is
sufficient reason for putting any
curbs on scientific experimental
ton with measuring public opin-
ion. Certainly a nation would be
more perfect democracy IL the will
OF the people was always a known
quantity In determining the poll
cies of government supposedly
conducted by the people and for
the people.

Fishing Still Holds Spotlight
In Northwoods Vacation

MILWAUKEE, July 26.-You let
the canoe coast for moment and
look around you on the lake. Over
at the edge of the weed-bed, a
khaki-shirted fisherman is excitedly
playing a big muskellunge on
the beach are group of SWIM
mers .. q. in front of the resort are
some youngsters playing tennis . :.
over on the point you can see
foursome approaching the first
green on the golf course.
It's a picture that you can see
repeated again and again with
slightly different details in the
northwoods of Wisconsin and Upper
Michigan.
Not so many years ago, the
northwoods was known only by
comparatively few sportsmen who
were willing to make a rather diff
cult trip and endure discomfort for
the sake of the grand fishing that
was available. Today, the number
of visitors has multiplied many
times, thanks in part to fast, con-
venient service on conditioned
trains.
Thousands of lakes, shallow and
deep, springfield and Stream-fed,
make patches of blue in the rolling
woodlands of pine, spruce and fir,
poplar and birch. Swimming, sail
ing, canoeing, and motor boating
are popular pursuits, but the big
appeal of the lakes is fish. Natural
advantages plus the active work of
the Wisconsin and Michigan State
Conservation Departments has kept
lakes well stocked with wall-eyed
and Northern pike. with large and
small mouth bass, pickerel and
muskellunge, and with many va
rieties of smaller pan fish. The cool
streams have plenty of brook, brown
and rainbow trout, while many
rivers also have excellent pike, bass
and muskie fishing.
Accommodations in the north
woods range widely enough in cost
and luxury to suit almost any budg-
ct. You can do your own house
keeping in a lakeside log cabin,
enjoy the comfort and informality
of a woodland lodge, or take part in
the social activities of a modern
hotel. There are tennis courts and
sporty, rolling golf courses at or
near many resorts, while saddle
horses are generally available nearby
for delightful canters along wooded
trails.
The principal resort regions di-
vide naturally into two distinct
areas. In North Central Wisconsin,
popular spots are the towns Of
Tomahawk, Heafford Junction,
Hazelhurst, Minocqua, Woodruff,
Arbor Vitae, Sayner, Plum Lake and
Star Lake.
In Eastern Wisconsin, the resort
district starts at Elkhart Lake and

Natura|ists Study Rare
West Virginia Plants

CHARLESTON, w. Va, July 26.-
Among the many tourists to west
Virginia this summer have been
many aturalists-amateur and pro-
fessional-drawn by the rich va
riety of plant life.
One of the sections particularly
appealing to this type of tourist is
Cranberry Glades. located in Poca-
hontas County. Embracing several
acres, the area is in the form OF a
great natural bowl in the noun
tains, 1000 feet high. 1t has been
referred to by naturalists as a mis-
placed tract of Arctic tundra IN the
Southern mountains. Here are
found reindeer moss, wild orchids
and other rare plants.
Farther south is another point OF
equal fascination to the student OF
plant life. 1t is Kates Mountain at
White Sulphur Springs. The noun
tain was named for Kate Carpen-
ter. whose husband, Nathan. was
killed there by Indians in pioneer
days. Here is the home of Hates
Mountain clover and other rare
plants. Ths clover was discovered
in 1892 by DR.. John K. Small of the
New York Botanical Gardens. 1t is
said to be one of the rarest plants
in the world. Locally it is called
the West Virginia shamrock and
resembles closely the Irish sham
rock. An interesting clematis (Cle-
mats ovata) also grows here. its
northern limit in the United States,
and species of wild thorn which is
found nowhere else in West Vir-
ginia.

Great Smoky Visitors
SEEING More Black Bears

GATLINBURG, Tenn, July 90
Tourists to the Smoky Mountains
National Park are finding black
bears for camera studies to show
their friends at home
The bears appear to be more nu-
merouS this year and also tanner
than ever before. but park author
tiles warn all visitors not to feed
them or get too close to them, as
they might slap or scratch.
Bears that are fed become beg
gars,'' park authorities say. land
may attack some one to get more
food if they associate food with
men"
The bears we're thick in the
Smokes in pioneer days, but old
timers with dogs and long rifles and
lumber companies almost extermin
ated them.
Since the park has been estab-
lished the bears on the 4O,00O-acrt
mountain tract have been protected
and have returned to their former
numbers.
1t is not unusual this year to SEE
two or three bears on the roadside
on the 20-mile trip from Gatlinbure
to the top Of the range.

WWDC Receiver Asked
On Eve Of Opening Here
Earlier Story on Page A-1S.)

(Earller story on rage A-Io.)
District Court today was asked to
appoint a receiver for the Capital
Broadcasting Co., operators of the
new Radio Station WWDC. The
action was demanded in suit filed
by Dyke Cullum, vice president Of
the company, who charged that the
firms funds were being handled in a
reckless and wasteful" manner.
Mr. Cullum, describing himself
as a trustee and owner of 40 per
cent of the company's stock, said
the Federal Communications Com
mission had been informed that
the stations construction would re-
quire only S19l0,( but that more
than $4,000 has already been spent
for that purpose.
The law firm of Long, st. Lewis &
Nyce, which filed the suit, said the
F. C. C. had been gifted of the mat
ter, and that it would be up to the
commission to decide whether there
we're any irregularities that war
ranted interference with the sta
tion's operation.
Notified of the suit this after
noon, Edwin M. Spence, secretary
treasurer of the company, said he
did not see how it would in any way
interfere with WWDC's opening.
