THE AUTHOR OF
UNITED STATES POLL

Kenneth Fink, director Of the
United States Poll, whose release
appears for the first time in the
Sidney Herald is director of
Princeton Research Service, at
Princeton, New Jersey, an indie
pendent non-political organization
devoted exclusively to public
opinion research.
The United States Poll, whose
column now appears each Thurs
day in newspapers across the ma
ton, makes weekly reports on So
cial, political, and cultural issues
affecting American voters.
A c~ross-section of American cit
liens is interviewed each time a
survey is made.
In the November, 1852, nation
al elections, Princeton Research
Services United States Poll made
two nationwide predictions: First,
that Eisenhower would win with
$685. of the national vote. He
did win with 55.1% of the vote
a deviation of 49,; second, that
the Republicans would get 49.55%
Of the nationwide vote cast for
Congressional candidates; Repub-
lican Congressional candidates re-
ceived 49.77% of the vote a
deviation Of less than three-tenths
Of one per cent - .27 to be exact.
And in the November, 1854. ma
tional elections, the United States
Poll predicted that the Democrats
would carry Congress with $3.50
of the national vote.
The Democrats did with $685.
of the vote - a deviation of less
than three-fourths of one percent
~ percent to be exact.
Thus in its three nationwide
predictions q in 1852 and l in
1850 the United States Poll scor-
ed three BULBS eyes and its aver
age deviation was less than 2 per-
cent.

UNITED STATES
POLL

wheIming Margin Believes
That Religion will Defeat
Communism in the Battle for
The Minds of Mankind.
Princeton, New Jersey - A
United States Poll nationwide sur
vey completed within the past ten
days shows that an Overwhelming
majority - more than four out
of every five of all those question
ed are of the opinion that in the
long run, religion will defeat cora
munism in the battle for the
minds of mankind.
At the same time, fewer than
one in twelve believes that re-
Iigion will not be able to defeat
communism.
In other words, those who think
that in the long run religion will
defeat communism in the battle
for the minds of mankind out
number by a margin of better than
10 to l those who think religion
will not.
When United States Poll staff
reporters put this question to a
scientifically selected c-ross-Sectlon
of the states adult citizens:
GIN the long run, do you believe
that religion will defeat commu-
nism in the battle for the minds
of mankind or not"
These were the nationwide re-
suits:
Religion will defeat communism
-85%; Religion will not defeat
communism - so No opinion -
10.
Highlight of today's survey find
ings is that in every population
group examined, at least 70 in
each 100 believe that in the long
run religion will defeat commu-
nism.
And in no group do more than
10 in each 1OObelieve that religion
will not be able to defeat commu-
nism in the battle for the minds
of mankind.
This holds true for men and
women, and people in all city
sizes, sections of the country, age
groups, educational levels and po-
litical parties.
Worthy of particularly mention,
too, is that there is not too great
difference of opinion on the mat
ter among college-educated people
on the one hand and those with
less formal schooling on the 9TH
er.
The vote by amount of formal
education:
Religion will defeat communism
college, 81 % High School, 81 % ;
Grade School, 84%.
Religion will not-College 1870
High School SO; Grade School,
80; No opinion - College 10
High School, 10; Grade School,
80.
Those who believe religion will
defeat communism give as their
chief reasons that people have
more faith in religion and God
than they do in communism; that
religion has always won out as
shown by the fact that many en-
pires have disappeared but religion
lives on; that people are turning
more and more to religion as evil
denced by increasing church mem
bership; that religion has a strong
er appeal than communism, and
that communism is against re-
ligion.
Smaller groups mention that
good will always wins over evil.
that communism offers nothing tc
believe in; that people r relig-
ious by nature; that religion gives
people something to live for; thai
nothing can be gained by force
and that communism is evil by
nature
Those who believe that religion
in the long run will not be able
to defeat communism in the bat

Population
Is DOUBLING

"Unless something is radically
wrong with a medium Or large
city, the metropolitan pOpula-
tion will double within the next
As or SO years. Make it As years
say by the year 1000. The
population of the world is dOub-
ling faster than that, the pOpu-
latiOn of the United States is
growing that fast, the pOpula-
ton of metropolitan areas is in
creasing faster. So a double
metropolitan population for any
particular city can be assumed
as just a matter of course. In

Light-as-a-feather, home made
rolls are one of those food favorites
that everyone gets enthusiastic
about. And any homemaker who
masters the art of making fine
yeast bread just naturally has a
reputation as truly good cook.
Fortunately, it's easy and fun to
make fine yeast breads nowadays.
You can either start from scratch
or use a good roll mix and, of
course, you will use quality ingred-
tents. Quality, creamy butter is a
must for all of your fine baking
and with yeast rolls, you'll not only
use it inside" as an ingredient but
outside" too, as a fresh, subtly fla
vored spread.
Yeast rolls are especially fun to
serve because there is such a great
variety in shapes, flavorings, and
toppings. The favorite cloverleaf
roll shape is made simply by form
ing the dough into small balls, US
ing three of them together for each
roll. Butterhorn rolls are luscious
% look at, too. To form these, cut
the yeast roll dough into pie
shaped wedges and then roll from
the wide edge of the wedge toward
the point.
For party style yeast rolls, you
may wish to try exciting flavorings.
