In both Ohio and New York new
surveys will be conducted 10 meas
ure the changes of sentiment as
the campaigns progress. Final pol
figures will be reported a day o.
two before the election.
Bricker served three terms as
governor of Ohio before being
nominated as vice-presidential can
didate on the 1914 Republican
ticket.
AS Governor, B"icker proved
himself an able vote-getter. He
was elected by an increasing per-
centage of votes each time he
campaigned. The first time, in
1888, he won with So per cent, the
last time with go IL per cent.
Ever since he and Governor
Dewey campaign together on the
1914 presidential ticket, Bricker
has continued to be popular among
Republicans as a possible candl-
date to head the ticket in 1948.
The latest survey conducted by
the Institute among Republican
voters throughout the country
(August) found him one of the top
three in popularity for the 194S
nomination, the other two being
Governor Dewey and Harold E.
Stassen.

National COP Leaders,
1948 In Mind, Watch
ing Race Develop
By GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute of
Public OpiniOn.

PRINCETON, N. j., Oct. s.
John w. Bricker, often mentioned
as a possible presidential candi-
date for the Republican party in
1948, holds a comfortable lead at
present in his race for United
States senator from Ohio against
James w. Huffman, Democratic
incumbent.
A poll conducted throughout
Ohio by the Institute shows the
standings of the two candidates
as follows at this stage of the
campaign:

tor from Ohio which do you favor
Huffman or Bricke~"
Bricker $3.50
Huffman 20

Like the New York guberna-
torial race in which Governor
Thomas E. Dewey is running for
reelection, the Ohio Senatorial
campaign is being closely watch
ed bys political leaders for it's 1913
implications.
If B~icker and Dewey were to
win their respective, contests this
November by very slim margins,
their, stock for 1948 would undoubt-
edly go down in the eyes Of COP
politicians. A prime qualification
of any presidential candidate is
that he be a strong vote-getter.
Hence the size of the lead held by
Bricker and Dewey, if they win in
November, a matter of consider
able interest to politically-minded
people all over the country.
Governor Dewey's position at
the present time in his race
against James M. Mead for gov
ernor Of New York was shown as
follows in an Institute poll of New
York state reported last week:

American Legion And VFW
Circulate Petition
Against CPA

A campaign to enlist the sigma
lures of 5000 New Hanover county
veterans to petitions requesting the
Civilian Production Administration
TO relax its ban on new industrial
construction in the Wilmington area
will be launched next week by the
local American Legion and Veteran
of foreign Wars.
The two groups, which represent
40 per cent of the city's ex-service>
men between them, laid plans for
their petition drive at a meeting
with leaders of Industrial Proper
ties, Inc. here yesterday morning.
Our petitions will emphasize the
view of the local veterans that they
need jobs more than homes and
that only the construction of new
industries can provide the jobs
they need, Ken Noble, a member
of the VIEW committee which in
auguarated the veterans fight
against the CPA restrictions, said
after the meeting.
The two ex-servicemen's groups
will solicit signatures from all
veterans whether or not they are
members of the Legion or VFW,

TRUSTEES FAVOR
FOUR-YEAR TERM
University Of North Caro-.
lima Board Would Ex-
tend Medical Study

RALEIGH, Oct. L. IN "A re-
solution authorizing the University
Of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to
expand it's two-year medical school
into q standard four-year medical
school "as soon as practicable aft
eer the General assembly appro-
pirates. the necessary funds was
passed unanimously Tuesday by the
board Of trustees of tht greater uni
versity.
Governor Cherry, however, told
the board that he could not ap-
prove financial commitments for
the proposed medical care program
until budget hearings indicate
that existing state agencies and
state services have been reason
ably provided for and a sufficient
balance remains to carry out the
new program.
: Despite the unanimous passage
OF the resolution, the session re-
vealed sharp differences Of opinion
between trustees who are alumni
of North Carolina and State Col
lege alumni.
This difference came out when
John W. Clark of Franklinville IRE
scented and the board adopted the
following resolution:
That we as businessmen, tax
payers, and citizens x X x would
like to know why the recommends
ton Of the Governor of North
Carolina with respect to the en-
gineering school at State college,
adopted unanimously by the board
oftrustees, in regular meeting, has
been disregarded, and,
Same Emphasis
1--WE request the board of trustees
to place the same emphasis upon
the expansion Of the engineering
school at North Carolina State col
lege that they place upon the ex-
pansion Of the medical school at
Chapel Hill"
The resolution referred to a rec
ommendation made to the board by
J. Melville Broughton, who was
then governor, that this board
give immediate consideration to
plans for an adequate engineering
building at State college and for
the general enlargement and devel-
opment of the engineering depart
ment Of the school in all its branch
es.''
The resolution pointed out that
Governor Broughton made the rec
o~mmendation at the same meeting
at which he made a Recommended
ton for a medical school at Chapel
Hill.
%Josephus Daniels of Raleigh pre-
sented and the trustees adopted a
resolution that the four-year medi-
cal college be a part of and tied
INTO a statewide system of clinics
and health centers'' so that health
service is available to every citi-
zen of the state.

the known writings Of Marshal Ney
with specimens Of the hand Of the
country school teacher. Peter
Stuart Ney.
According to Ronthaler, the ex

am convinced that all writings were
made by the same man." Mans
Of the writings Of the teacher. Ney
were found in marginal notes il

students.
