Women showed a higher vote OF
approval than men. The vote of
women was 70 per cent, that OF
men 81 per cent.
PUBLIC APPROVAL of sending
food abroad dates back at least as
far as 1913. In December of that
year, the institute found CT per
cent of the population saying that
they would put up with shortages
for a year or two after the war
in order to give food to people in
Europe. In April of 1945, the vote
was 65 per cent in favor.
In June, 1915, a substantial ma
jority of voters said they would
be willing to eat about one-fifth
less in order to ship foodstuffs
abroad. The vote was:
'If necessary, would you and
your family be willing to eat about
one-fifth less than you are now
eating in order to send more food
to Europe?"

Two OF Every Three Amer.
leans Willing To Use
Less Flour And Meat
BY GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute of
Public Opinion

PRINCETON, N. j., March g.
An overwhelming majority Of
Americans are favorably disposed
toward a program to cut down
food consumption here in order to
send more food to Europe.
More than two-thirds Of the ma
TONS families, in the latest sur
vey of opinion on the subject, say
they are willing to use less flour
and eat less meat, and to put up
with present shortages of butter
and sugar, in order to help feed
people in need abroad.
Every survey made on the issue
for the past three years has found
substantial majorities willing to
send food to Europe, indicating a
widespread belief on the part OF
the public that the need for aid
abroad is acute.
It remains for the government
to lay down a specific program.
If one is formulated, telling house
wives precisely what they are ex-
|pected to do, the cooperation of .
majority of families can be reason
ably expected. There would be
objections from a minority OF
course, the extent Of the objec-
tons depending on how much
sacrifice people are asked to make.
But the majority are at least
favorably disposed toward the idea
of sending food to aid Europe.
The current attitudes were
sounded by interviewers for the

POLL

Opening today at the Loew-P Poli Theatre is the heart-warning story filled with tender emotion and un- torgettable. appeal, Sentimental Journey" which stars John Payne, Maureen O'Hara and William Ben dix, and features brilliant little Connie Marshall.
 The basic theme of the story re- veals what happens when a young wife-a glamorous and successful stage star, passionately in love with her husband-adoptS a nine-year- old girl to add to his happiness. Because of the highly sensitive and imaginative nature of the young- ster, the plan doesn't work out, and, instead, precipitates crisis.
 John Payne's portrayal of the young theatrical producer who him. self unable to reconcile the intro duction of @ child into his house. hold, is one of the stand-out per: formances of the year. He handles the part with great depths of feel ling and tremendous effectiveness. In the utterly unusual and chal- lenging role of the wife who pins her hopes for her husbands hap" piness on a daring plan, Maureen O'Hara 'emergeS as a truly excep- tional dramatic actress. William Bendix, as usual, is thoroughly en- tertaining as Payne's pal.
 But it is for little Connie Mar shall that extra-Special garlands must be reserved. Tn what is by any standards a very difficult role the wondrously talented youngSter has acquitted herself in true star fashion, carving for herself sure nich high among the great child actresses of the screen. You'll be seeing a great deal more of Connie from now on.
 In the co-feature Divorce" Bruce Cabot finds himself before the mo- ton picture cameras co-starring with Kay Francis. Divorce" shows some of the problems which a man, returning from the war, has while readjusting himself to civilian life. Cabot finds the woman of the world, played by Miss Francis, to be more exciting than his charming film wife, Helen Mack.
