Director, American Institute OF
Public Opinion

PRINCETON, N. j., Feb. 2 A
growing feeling throughout the
country that Mr.. Truman is NOV
ing leftward has cost the president
considerable support from con-
servative elements.
The feeling that he has finally
tipped his hand and is going left
comes at time when the Ameri-
can electorate is as nearly mid
dle-of-the-road in its political de-
sires as it is possible to be.
The number of voters who want
the government to- move toward
the left is almost exactly counter
balanced by the number who want
it to move to the right, while the
majority think it ought to steer
a middle course between right and
left. There has been no impor-
tant. change in that sentiment for
many months.
Mr.. Truman was following a
niddle-of-the-road course in earl
Ter days. most voters thought, but
today nearly half the country
thinks he is showing greater par
TALLY toward labor and various
liberal groups than toward any
one else. This shift as seen by
voters has not been accompanied
by any particular shift toward the
left among voters themselves.
This partly explains why the more
conservative Democrats and Re-
pubicans have been criticizing
the president. AS reported last
week, general voters approval of
him has dropped IL percentage
points since last November, and
most Of the shift has taken place
among conservatives.
To some extent Mr.. Truman has
also lost support from liberal vot-
ing elements who feel that he has
not gone far enough to the left.
But the detection from that side
does not compare in extent with
the detection from the conserva-
tive side.
The country's opinions about Mr..
Humans policies were sounded
through two questions in the In
stitute's survey as follows:

COMMITTEES HOLD
PALMETTO BILLS

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 2.-R-
Scores of legislative measures fed
into house and senate hoppers this
year rested today in committees,
many of them stymied there by
lack Of committee quorums.
Bills to permit mutual betting at
horse races, return the state to
prohibition, increase income tax
exemptions, permit women to serve
on juries. and host Of others
have long lain in committees.
Some have failed to get commit
tee action because of the press of
consideration for other, preferred
bills; others have been sidetrack-
ed to subcommittee; but many
have bit the dust on points OF
quorum.
Lack OF a quorum at a house
commerce and naanufa cturers COM
mittee meeting this week temper
arily shelved five industrial bills
measures that would require
elevators and air conditioning in
textile mills, set wage and hour
standards In intrastate industry,
and prohibit wage discrimination
against women.
The bills were discussed vehe-
mently by Rep. John Long Of Tn
ion, author Of two Of them, as he
Grated manfu1ly for favorable COM
mittee reports.
General Counsel T. Frank Wat
kins Of the South Carolina cotton
manufacturers association then cit
ed, at length, textile mills opposi-
ton to the measures.
But after almost two hours Of
that, when a committee vote was
sought on reporting out the mea-
sure, committee member said
II question a quorum. A count
revealed that less than half the
committee membership was pres
ent, and that broke up the meet
ing.
The same situation has faced
every committee in the legislature
at one time or another, although
the judiciary committees and the
finance and ways and means COM
mittees usually attract q, majority
attendance despite their large
memberships.

THE VIEWS of Democrats and
Republicans polled in the survey
provide interesting contrasts for
students of politics.
An overwhelming majority Of
Republicans think the President is
leaning toward the views Of labor
and liberal groups. whereas they
would like to see him either keep
to the middle of the road or 60
more to the right.
Among Democratic voters the
desire Of the majority is also for
a middle course, but a larger num-
Der want to see leftward moves
than is the case with Republican
voters.
