Inteknationa! Gallup Poll
Is Russia Out To Dominate World?
Many Voters In 4 Nations Think So
Surveys Conducted In Unit
ed States, France, Cana
da And Australia
BY GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute Of
Public Opinion

PRINCETON, N. j., March 49,
The common people of at least four
nations-the United States, Canada,
France and Australia-show a con-
siderable amount of worry and
concern over Russia's precent
course in world affairs.
Although one of Russia's lead
ing historians, Eugene Tarle, this
week declared that Russia is not
seeking world Nomination." there
is widespread belief, except in
France, that Russia more than
any other nation would like to run
the rest Of the world. In France,
opinion is rather closely divided
as to whether it is Russia, or the
United States, which seeks to
dominate other nations in familiar
nineteenth century imperialist
fashion. ..
The greatest fear Of Russian in
tentions is found among the people
+ Canada whose government
recently charged the Soviets with
spying on atomic bomb develop
ment and Allied military secrets.
Polls in the four nations were
taken at a comparable time by the
American, Canadian, Australian
and French Institutes Of Public
Opinion, which are affiliated Or
CARNATIONS devoted to the con-
tinuous measurement of public
opionion in their respective coun-
tries.
Voters in each country were
asked the following question, or
close variation of it.
do you believe any nation would
like to dominate or run the
world?"

lCRR New Refrigerator
Car Started Monday

Assembly of the Illinois Central
Railroads long-awaitsd experiment
tai alumium refrigerator car began
at the McComb. car shop Monday.
Work is expected to be completed
within the next two months, after
which extensive tests with various
commodities will take place.
In the words of w. A. Johnston,
Illinois Central president, this will
be "a rolling ice-box built of alum
mum and glass, Graded on springs
that would do credit to a baby
buggy, capable of flashing across the
country at better than a mile a
minute"
The a takes shape according to
plans formulated by the Refrigera-
tor Car Committee or the United
Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Associat-
ion. The car will make extensive use
of aluminium, of fibre glass insulat-
ion, of forced air circulation.
Through the use of collapsible bulk
heads, it will double in service as
needed, with added space, for ordin-
airy merchandise boxcar purposes,
and it can be heated as well as cool
ed. Its savings in net weight will be
some $4,000 pounds, or nearly Is
percent of the weight of the usual

In addition to improving riding
qualities, the car is expected to offer
temperatures low enough for the eff
ficient transportation of deep-freeze

WeeviI I~nfestation
High In State

The cotton insect situation in
Mississippi changed very little dur.
ing the past week, according to the
State Plant Board. Weevil infestat.
ions are so high in some counties
practically all squares are being de-
stroyed. Leafworms are generally
present in the northwest quarter Of
the state, but not in sufficient num-
bers to justify poisoning yet, stated
Clay Lyle, entomologist of the
Board.
Inspectors of the Board and Fed
eral entomologist examined l78
farms in q counties during the
week, finding weevils on 154, with
an average infestation of 48 percent
on the infested farms which COM
pares with 81 last week and 80 on
this date last year. The average on
all farms examined was AZ percent.
Although the weather has been
extremely hot during the week, DR..
Lyle stated that it had very little
effect on the weevil population on
account Of the rank growth of the
plants shading the wet ground.
Showers continued in several sect
ions of the state.
When leafworms are numerous
enough to begin Raging leaves,
busting with calcium arsenate at s
to 10 pounds per acre is advised. II
calcium arsenate is not available
and paris green can be secured, a
mixture of one part paris green and
4 parts hydrated lime, applied at 10
pounds per acre, is suggested.
In Holmes county eight farms
were examined. All were infested
with As. Sc, 81, GA. SO. n, 80. and 90
percentage of infestation.
