Bloom Defends
Washington
As Greatest

WASHINGTON, Feb %. up
Representative Sol Bloom of New
York rose to the defense of George
Washington Thursday.
His fire was directed at DR.. George
Gallup, the man who makes his
living asking questions.
A Gallup poll published showed
that AZ Per cent of the people
thought Abraham Lincoln greater
man than Washington. Only % per
cent thought washington greater.
George Washington is the only
non-controversial person in his
tory" Bloom wrote Gallup. And
consider it very unfortunate that on
the day before his birthday you
should release such poll to the
press"
Bloom has nothing against Lin
coin. It's just that he feels you
can't stack one up against the
other.
You night just as we'll try to de-
scribe how high is up or how big is
round" he wrote Gallup And he
continued:
Never were men more divinely
raised for their tasks than these two
great national heroes--tasks SO diff
ferent that each Woulc undoubtedly
have failed where the other sue
ceeded.
washington was called forth to
found nation, Lincoln to save one
Washington to lay enduring founda-
tions, Lincoln to ward off the light
ming that flames to destroy the
structure"
