...public mind the Attorney General's banners were somewhat tattered. Asked by Gallup pollsters if the Government "did the right thing" in seizing Montgomery Ward, 61% of the answerers said "No." Congressional mail sacks bulged with letters from furious constituents denouncing the seizure. Francis Biddle, who had never been so busy in his life, had other troubles. The trial of eight ladies of the evening from Washington's Hopkins Institute-a trial initiated by the Justice Department and ballyhooed by Government prosecutors as an assault on "a million-dollar call house" -turned out to be little more than...
Last week Dr. George Gallup also released a poll completed after the Wisconsin primary, showed Roosevelt leading Dewey by 55%-to-45% after eliminating "about one in ten" who were undecided.

...current Gallup poll indicated that seven out of ten Canadians would wel come tariff-free reciprocity with the U.S. after the war. Of those in favor, 37% did not believe that such reciprocity would curtail Canadian production. Even if it did, 23% were still for complete U.S. Canada free trade. Another 28% would be opposed if it turned out to have this effect...
