POLLS AND PAPERS
Showed Anti-F. d. r. Bias
Why we're the prediction polls so far
off and why is it that the readers Of
the big newspapers chose to ignore the
advice Of the editors? These questions
are still being discussed, and most of
the editors who insisted that cts time
for a change" are still pursuing the
same old editorial policies.
According 70 Editor and Publisher
trade journal, 1913 per cent of the ma
tons daily newspapers were opposed 70
Roosevelt. Each year has witnessed a
widening gap between the political opin-
ions of the newspapers and those Of
their readers. Here is the record:
1920 per cent for F. d. r.
1866 per cent for f. d. II.
1903 per cent for F. d. r.
1944-17.7 per cent for F. d. r.
Like the newspapers, the major polls
showed a marked pro-Dewey bias. The
Gallup poll, which Dewey has long con-
suited before adopting major policies,
ran a series of optimistic pro-Dewey
forecasts during the election and then,
at the last minute released its official,
final prophecy of 2S9 electoral votes for
Dewey, or i40 more than he actually
received.
Facts for Farmers proved more ac-
curate than any Of the official polls.
It was on record with a forecast Of 392
electoral votes for Roosevelt.
THE FARM VOTE
Despite the systematic campaign that
has been carried on for several years to
make the farm vote safe for reaction
analysis of the returns shows that the
farmers are still capable of thinking fol-
themselves
Considering the large sums Of money
that have been spent by interests such
as the Pews, to mention one of many
and the obedient support given these
interests by all too many farm leaders
it is a tribute to the level-headednes'
of the farmers that they voted as they
did this year.
Where efforts were made to bring tht
Montana labor news., 1944-12-21

issues TO the farmers, the response was
prompt and effective as in the case of
the Farmers-for-Roosevelt Committee in
New York state.
James Haggerty, Dewey's publicity
manager, said over the radio that, when
the upstate New York vote began COM
ing in and showed no Swing" to Dewey,
they knew there was no hope. Edwin
F. Jackie, assigned the job of deliver
ing the upstate New York vote to Dewey,
turned in his resignation as chairman Of
the Republican state committee after
the votes were counted.

There can be no doubt, however, that
the major issues in the election will con-
tinue to be brought over in the period
ahead. Even though the voters repudi-
ated the coalition of G. o. P. reaction
aries and southern poll takers, there is
no reason to believe that the alliance
has been ended.
WILL CONGRESS COOPERATE?
Despite the 432 electoral votes won by
Roosevelt to the SO going to Dewey, the
administration still finds itself facing a
much better but yet none too friendly
Congress. The election has markedly i'm
proved the situation, but even the most
optimistic analysts admit that it will
be no easy task to get the two-thirds
Senate vote needed to ratify any peace
treaty.
This two-thirds rule proved the Stun
bling back to international cooperation
after the last war, and it will be major
factor after this one as well. A ma.
jority vote is all that is needed to de.
felare war, butt a two-thirds vote is
needed to sanction a peace treaty. The
result is that mo" vote is equal t.
two yes" votes, and a small band o

Needed For Future Jet Planes

were critically short in the pres
ent war, to reduce the alloy con-
tent OF shells and armor by one
quarter, without reduction in eff
ficiency.
Among the gre at scientific
strides in this war, he said, are
casting armor plate instead of roll
ing. Casting was started with prac-
t;cally no knowledge OF the pro-
cess. Before the war Swedish steel
was used almost exclusively for
high-stressed springs. Now new
method, still secret, produces
much better springs.
Gun barrels up to rs MN are
now rolled in seamless tubing
mills. The continuous strip mills,
that rolled thin auto steel, learned
how to roll thick ship plate. And,

way could the abnormal demand
of the Navy and Maritime Com
mission have been met.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IS. - Gre
alton of new alloys for the Jet
planes of future war was called
for today by Maj. Gen. G. H.
Barnes, chief of research for u.
Is. ordnance.
General Barnes did not specifi-
cally mention rockets in a report
to the first wartime meeting OF
the National Academy of Sciences.
But the jet plane needs he out
lined are almost exactly the same
as those published for rockets be-
fore this war started.
The new alloys, he said, are
needed to stand extraordinary
heat. This heat comes from the
explosive discharge of hot gases,
or of the series of separate rapid
fire explosions, which drive a jet
plane or rocket.
The rocket heats in t h e past
have been extremely high, appar-
emily being above the jet plane
heat.
The introduction of jet propul-
sion into war materiel," General
Barnes said, creates an addition
al need for steels to withstand alb
normal elevated temperatures. The
alloys now available are costly,
difficult to produce, and may not
be available in sufficient quaint
ties should this development be-
come a major factor in warfare"
Another future war possibility is
use of boron, tellurium and other
chemical elements for alloying the
r'ateriels that &c into ordnance.
Boron, he explained, has been
used in American settl-making in
this war and its use is still WIDEN
ing. Boron, familiar to the public
only as boric acid for eye washes,
was one of numerous things which
enabled the nation, when alloys
