Riggs said.

Mr.. Riggs fetched out a cage
containing the pretty little

at them. The dealer put the
cage back on the shelf.

What do you get for them?"
DR.. Mann asked gruffly. Mr..
Riggs told him. "All right" DR..
Mann said. III take them. .
His tone was that of a man
trapped by a blackmailer.
On the way home a compan-
ion inquired why he ever took
the birds since he was SO in
sistent on ignoring them.
II was not ignoring them

his own at home is a friend of

/ Mr.. Riggs began talking about
his newly arrived quetzals. The
big birds, Guatemala's national
symbol, are gorgeous things, with
irridescent greens and scarlets.
DR.. Mann pretended utter lack
of interest. But he bought a
pair.
He also took two small boa
constructors and a little turtle,
and departed.
On the way home it was sug-
gested that he had treated Mr.
Riggs as a policeman treats a
burglar.
Just horse-trading, DR.. Mann
explained.

Who's Going

harder scrutiny as the campaign winds up The men,
ory of what happened in 1913 is still vivid Elmo Roper
made his final poll report September 9; Dr. George
Gallup wound up his Sampng 10 days before the cleo
ton. According to their figures Thomas E. Dewey was
to be President of the United States but eecton-day
figures showed Harry Truman the winner.
Il could not have been more wrong" Roper stated
braVey, and he and Dr. Gallup and several other poll
ing groups embarked a scientific inquiry into the
error of their ways.
I'VE found says Roper, THAT we had been making
two false assumptions = one, that voters wouldn't
change their minds at the last moment, and two, that
undecided voters could be dsregarded" AS result Of
these assumptions the polls failed catch the switches
caused by the sudden demise Of the Wallace movement
and the serious drop in farm prices. AS result Of the
1913 experience the polls will stay in business this year
right up to election eve.
But perhaps even more important, the So-caled
undecided voter will get great deal Of attention in
this final fortnight voter who says he has not yet
made up his mind is now asked certain questions
designed TO reveal his voting tendencies if he is
not sure of these himself.
1896: A Hard Lesson
These questions include such matters as how he voted
in 1913 and 1882 how he feels about some of the lesser
but controversial figures in both major parties. From
the way the subject answers, poSters believe predic
ton may be made on how he will vote November 6.
This merely one in long series of hard lessons the
polling profession has learned Back in 1886, The
Literary Digest whose straw votes had correctly
predicted the elections of 1928 and 1882 came terrible
cropper by forecasting victory for ALT M. Landon
Franklin D. Roosevelt The Digest" achieved this
result by mailing out 100000 straw-voe ballots and
tabulating the 1000 OOO-odd returns.
That was the last time the StrawVoe method, based
on telephone directories and post cards, employed
by serious Presidential pollSter. The DgeStS
was avoided by the new scientific Sampng method of

VALUE OF FISHING FOR
CHANNEL BASS ON COAST

To The Editor:
A recent report in the Norfolk
Ledger Dispatch, dealing with the
taking of large number of chan
mel bass in nets, if true distresses
me very much. Let me present the
economic aspect of this report in
terms of simple arithmetic.
If the SO Channel bass were
caught and they weighed an aver
age of 40 pounds each, then the
total weight would be LAO
pounds. At 10 cents a pound, that
would make total of $144.00.
So far this year, / have made
nine trips to Hatteras at cost
of $4,000 e2gn trip, (not including
jeep expenses) this makes a total
of $3.50 90 spent by one individual,
trying to catch an elusive channel
bass.
Hatteras has fascination for
me, which many surf fishermen
who have been there also have.
The hospitality and friendliness
of the folks there is impressive,
folks like Fate Midget, are real
Ambassadors of Good Will, but my
real objective and desire is to
pull in. channel. bass.
The commercial fisherman would
gain more benefit by leaving chan
mel bass for the visiting surf fish
ing, who before long will consider
channel bass fishing on Hatteras
a myth and will no longer spend
their dollars toward a useless eff
fort. Thank you.
