Roper Suspends Poll;
Sees Dewey Victory

| Republicans were warned yester-
day by their national chairman not
to get overconfident because a pol
taker said victory in November was
so assured he planned to make nc
more reports on the contest.
Elmo Roper, conductor of the for
tune survey, announced in the New
York Herald Tribune that the ma
tional Republican ticket was so far
ahead that only q political con-
vulsion" could defeat Gov. Dewey.
Mr.. Roper said he had decided
after years Of study that a winner
"clinches his victory early in the
race" and that presidential cam
paigns rarely alter the outcome.
He said he planned to make no
more resports on his presidential
surveys unless something really in
teresting happens"
Hugh Scott, chairman Of the Re-
publican National Committee. ex-
pressed qualification at the Roper
statement. but added:
Despite Mr.. Roper's announce
ment - this Is no time to relax
our efforts to build up the biggest
majority in history. ="
while have every confidence
that the Dewey Warren ticket will
be elected. never regard an elec-
ton as over until election day. Over
confidence can lose an election"

William McNair, @,
Co|orfuI Ex-kayor Of
Pittsburgh, Dies
BY the Associotsd Press

ST. LOUIS, Sept. l0.-An inquest
will be conducted tomorrow in the
death of William N. McNair, 68, for
mer Mayor of Pittsburgh, who COL
lapsed and died in Union Station
last night.
A dinner audience was waiting to
hear him and he had just put hit
wife on a train for Houston, Tex
Her train was 80 miles away when
she got the news, and, after waiting
two hours at Bismarck, Mo-, she
came back on another train.
Apparently it was a heart attack
that killed the veteran Pennsyl-
vania Democrat. He had made a
luncheon talk and had not been i'll
Mrs. McNair is flying ito Pitts
burgh this afternoon after joining
a daughter, Mrs. Robert Morrison
who is flying from Houston.
Burial will be in Pittsburgh, but
the time has not been set.
Mr.. McNair was elected mayor in
1933+the first Democrat to win the
Office since 1905. In 1914 he was
elected to the Pennsylvania Legis-
lature and currently was campaign
ing for another term.
A six-footer with winning po-
litical manner and a fair for pub
licity stunts, Mr.. McNair was swept
into Office with plurality of 1000
more votes than President Roose-
welt received in Pittsburgh in the
1892 election.
One of his first actions delighted
his supporters and attracted ma
tional attention. This was his an
nounced intention of setting up
Offices in the lobby of the City Hall.
He soon abandoned this idea after
discovering the lobby would be too
cold and that 1t would interfere
with his working efficiency.
Another of his stunts was to offer
a bottle of whisky to Mrs. Ella
Boole, president of the Women S
Christian Temperance Union. On
one occasion he spent an hour in
jail for ignoring a court ruling.
Admired by Zioncheck.
In an era of curious and outland-
ish political behavior, Mr.. McNair
more than held his own with such
publicity headliners as the late Rep
resentative Zioncheck, Democrat, of
Washington, who once went wading
in the pool of the sunken garden
at Rockefeller Center in New York.
Mr.. Zioncheck became such an
admirer of the Pittsburgh Mayor
that he suggested him for Presi-
dent. But Mr.. McNair was as cool
to the idea as he was to Mr.. Zion
check, whom he ignored when the
Representative visited Pittsburgh,
wrestled with a Turkish grappler
and gave Pittsburgh IL hours of
wild fun making.
Mayor McNsir had a cure-all, he
thought, for city financial burdens,
something resembling the single tax
of Henry George, but he never sue
ceeded in working it out. He re-
signed on October 6, 1896, in the
midst of financial chaos resulting
from the City Councils refusal to
approve his appointee for city

extra votes needed. AS this is writ
ten, decision has not been made
regarding the inclusion of Mr.. Wal
lace in some key States.
If Mr.. Truman had all the breaks
and the Wallace candidacy were
withdrawn, the situation in States
like Minnesota, California, New
York and a few others, would be
close In such case, if nearly all
the Wallace voters switched to Mr..
Truman, the latter's reelection
would be within striking distance.
A total of 81 electoral votes might
be added to the 2l0 referred to
above, making the possible Truman
total 297. This, however, seems un-
likely.
Gov. Dewey's lead in a large bloc
of States with many electoral votes
is so substantial that If later figures
confirm the first results 1t will be
difficult to overcome it in the few
remaining weeks. 1t is now expected
that Gov. Dewey will win with at
least 304 electoral votes. He might
win 397 If he captures all of the
close States. Therefore. at this
point in the campaign, the result
looks like Gov. Dewey by 3o4-397
electoral votes.
The strength of the Dewey
Warren ticket lies all across the
northern tier of States. In the
populous eastern and central States,
some of which were formerly Roose-
welt stronsholds, the Republican ra-
tios are significant. However, two
States in New England are at pres
ent close. The Wallace vote in Cali
fornia makes the Republican lead
definite. Washington and Oregon
apparently will also be Republican.
1t should be emphasized that this
analysis is based upon the results
Of a poll taken before Labor Day.
Since then, Mr.. Truman has spoken
to huge crowds in Michigan and
has begun a very intensive personal
campaign which may win him large
numbers Of votes.
Succeeding articles will provide
actual popularity percentages and
other pertinent data permitting

sions.

if the company is required to make
the changes without proper reim-
bursement from public funds.
Fare Increase Ruling Awaited.
Capital Transit has estimated that
track changes would cost $3.50, 900
If the underpass plan is adopted
and the Potomac Electric Power
Co. estimates the cost OF relocating
its underground equipment at about
$195, 900.
The transit company recently re-
quested an increase in fares which
it said is necessary because of in
creased costs. Hearings on the re-
quest were completed recently and
ruling by the PUG is expected
soon.
Two plans have been advanced
by Capital Transit which would
permit removal of tracks from the
intersection to break up the bottle
necks. One plan would set up double
tracks on Sixth street and In
diana avenue connecting Pennsyl-
vania avenue tracks with route 40
car tracks at Fifth and D streets
NV.
The other plan would eliminate
all tracks on Pennsylvania avenue
NV. east of Ninth street includ-
ing the Sixth and c street loop.
First Plan in Detail.
The first Capital Transit plan
calls for removal of all tracks
on Pennsylvania avenue between
Seventh and First streets and on
First street, NV. and First street
S.W., and First street S.W. be-
tween independence avenue and G.
street; rerouting Of route 54 cars
via Seventh street and independence
avenue to Pennsylvania avenue Sc.
and the Naval Gun Factory; con-
struction Of 3 bypass track on
Seventh street between Constitution
and Pennsylvania avenues NV. to
permit northbound Seventh street
cars to bypass cars assigned to
routes 80 and 54; combining route
80 with the Cabin John and Rosslyn
lines; substitute operation OF bus
service via Constitution avenue be-
tween Potomac Park and Union
Station as a morning and evening
rush hour extension of route Al
now operating between West Po-
tomac Park and Peace Monument,
and construction of terminal loop
on Eighth between D and E streets
NV. for route 81 and 60 or a by
pass track on Eleventh between E
and F. streets NV.
The $4,000 plan. which has the
approval of both the Department OF
Vehicles and Traffic and the High
way Department, would send east
bound Pennsylvania avenue street.
cars to Pennsylvania avenue Sc. by
making righthand turn at Seventh
street and turning left again at
independence avenue S.W.
Parade Route Denied. i
Mr.. Robertson emphasized that
his department wants Constitution
avenue left open at the intersec-
ton for use as a praade route. He
said John Marshall place and
Fourth street, the north and south
legs of the intersection, should re-
main open because of the contem-
plated development of the new court
house and other scheduled projects
at Municipal Center north of the
intersection. John Marshall place
eventually will become a double
roadway under the Municipal Center
development plan.
Mr.. Robertson said the $4,000
would also eliminate car tracks
from around Peace Monument.
