HIGH WINDS HIT
SOUTHERN STATES
BY the Associated Press

High winds reaching tornado in
tensity in places swept across the
southern part of the country yester-
day to the accompaniment OF
thunderstorms and rain.
The strong winds, after striking
in Texas Friday night and killing
at least % persons and injuring
more than a hundred, dipped along
Bayou Teche in the Louisiana
| Acadian country yesterday.
No casualties were reported in
the Louisiana tornado, but town
officials at St. Martinville estimated
the damage in excess Of $100, 900.
The blustery weather extended
over the entire southeast and parts
of the middle west. The winds
stemmed from low pressure area
ever Missouri, moving eastward
and northeastWard.
The weather was squally over
a wide area of the Gulf coast and
the schooner Sardine flashed dis
tress call she was sinking off Dry
Tortugas.
Wind and lighting storms swept
the area east of Texas and moved
into Georgia late in the day.
Temperatures were mild for the
time of year and the weatherman
could see no cold weather in the
immediate future.
Rain fell over a good part of the
middle west as well as along the
Pacific coast. Overcast skies were
general.

The Gallup Poll
he GaIIuP Poll
Truman Plan For Handling Strikes
Is Fauored By Out Of 10 Voters
Poll Shows Wide Desire In
All Sections For Remedy
For Stoppages
BY GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute Of
Public Opinion

PRINCETON, N. j., Jan. s.
President Truman's proposal te
Congress for fact-finding boards ano
and a 3o-day cooling off period be.
fore workers go out on strike has
very substantial support from all
major population groups, in all Sec
tons from coast to coast.
Final results in the Institutes
poll on the question show national
,vote of approximately 8 out OF 10
in favor Of adopting the Presidents
plan, the majority believing that
it would operate to reduce strikes.
The vote:
president Truman has proposed
law requiring a 30-day cooling
off period before a major strike
could start. During this time a
committee would look into the facts
and causes Of the dispute and
make public its report. Would you
favor or oppose such 1aw?'
National Vote
Favor .........,...... 70 per cent
Oppose ................ III per cent
No opinion ......... II per cent
DO you think this law would
operate to reduce the number OF
strikes?'
Yes ................. u per cent
No IA per cent
No opinion ........... IA per cent
Polls reported earlier showed the
plan approved by labor union men,
bers and all principal occupation
groups throughout the country.
Opposition to the proposal. the
poll finds, is based on three princi-
pal reasons. People who do not
favor the Presidents plan say that
strikes are labor's most important
weapon and should not be curbed,
that investigation committees would
not be impartial but would be pro-
management, and that there are
too many Ineffective committees
already.
Here are some sample comments
on the "anti' side, as taken down
verbatim by Institute interviewers:
Labor must act quickly or it
won't gain its points.
There's only one way to get &C.
ton and that's to strike"
