116 LAID UP SHIPS
WILL BE RELEASED
WASHINGTON, May — The
Senate commerce committee ap
proved a bill today to release for
service 116 laid-up ships of the
Maritime commission as a move
to meet a threatened ship short
age.
Under the Merchant marine act
the Maritime Commission had to
buy and retire from service all
ships more than 20 years old to
stimulate the building of a more
efficient merchant marine. The
bill approved by the Senate com
mittee and recently passed by
the House frees the vessels for
service.
It was said that a shortage of
ships in the United States coast
wise trade, due to selling abroad
is approaching the emergency
stage.

American Newspaper Men
Believe Roosevelt And
Dewey Will Be Nominees
NEW YORK —According to a
poll conducted by the magazine
Current History, American daily
newspaper editors believe that
Roosevelt will run for a third
term and that Dewey will be his
opponent.
But in their opinion Cordell
Hull should be the Democratic
nominee and Senator Vanden
berg the Republican.
Sixty-nine percent were con
vinced that the political senti
ment in their communities is
more conservative than in 1936.
Less than 3 percent says it is
more liberal—24 per cent say it
is about the same.
The poll was supervised by
George V. Denny, Jr., President
of New York’s Town Hall, for his
regular department in Current
History, “What’s Your Opinion?”
Every daily newspaper editor
was asked five questions:
“Who do you think will be nom
inated for President by the Demo
eratic party?”
“Who do you think will be nom
inated for President by the Re
publican party?”
“Who do you think should be
nominated for President by the
Democratic party?”
“Who do you think should be
nominated for President by the
Republican party?”
“In your opinion, is the senti
ment in your community more
conservative than in 1936, more
liberal, about the same?”
While 63 per cent of the editors
think that Roosevelt will be nom
inated, less than 18 percent think,
he should be. They clearly pre
fer Mr. Hull. Nearly 34 per cent
think he should be nominated.
Only 19 per cent think he will be.
Strength by Areas
President Roosevelt’s greatest
strength is among the editors of
the East South Central States
(Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama,
Mississippi). Mr. Hull’s greatest
strength is in the Mountain Stat
es (Montana, Idaho, Wyoming,,
Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona,1
Utah and Nevada).
Though 38 per cent of the coun
try’s daily newspaper editors be
lieve the Republican nomination
will go to Dewey, only 19 per
cent think it should, as compar
ed to the 24 per cent who think it
should go to Vandenberg. Mr.
Dewey makes his best showing in
the New England and South At
lantic States (Delaware, Mary
land, Virginia, West Virginia, the
Carolinas, Georgia and Florida),
where about 40 per cent of the
editors think he will be nominat
ed. Senator Vandenberg is strong
est in the Mountain States. Thir
ty eight per cent of the editors
there think that he should be nom
inated, 34 per cent predict that
he will be.
As to the Democratic runners
up nearly 26 per cent think that
Garner should be given the nom
ination but less than 5 per cent
think that he will get it. His
greatest strength is in the Pac
ific States, (Washington, Oregon,
California).
The Democratic also-rans trail
far behind the favorites. Less
than 3 per cent say that Senator
Wheeler will win the nomination
6 per cent think he should; less
than 5 per cent say that Paul Me
Nutt will be chosen, 2 per cent
say that he should.
Other Hopefuls
Other hopefuls; Attorney Gen
eral Jackson, Postmaster Farley,
Senator Clark, Senator Glass and
a handful of others received a
few scattered votes but evident
ly newspaper editors don’t con
cede any of them a chance.
As a possible Republican candi
date Senator Taft runs behind
Dewey to the extent that 17 per
cent of the editors think that he
should be nominated and 25 per
cent think he will be. Former
President Hoover retains a defin
ite following since 8 per cent
think he should be nominated —
only 1 per cent thinks he actual
ly will be.
Nor do the editors believe that
the Republican nomination will
be landed by either Frank E.
Gannett, Governor Bricker of
Ohio or Representative Martin of
Massachusetts. None of them got
an Appreciable vote on the ques
tion of who will be nominated,
but on the question of who
should be nominated the vote for
Gannett was 4 per cent, for Gov
ernor Bricker about the same
and for Representative Martin 3
per cent. The editors do not be
lieve, apparently, that any other
Republican hopeful has even a
fighting chance.
In answer to the question: "In
your opinion, is the sentiment in
your community more sonserva
tive than in 1936, more liberal,
about the same?” the East North
Central district returned thc
most decisive answer. More than
30 per cent of the editors from
this district declared that senti
ment in their communities was
more conservative than in 1936.

PALS — FOR ONE NIGHT—All fights were off, tem
porarily, when Sen. Arthur Vandenberg from Michigan and N. Y.
Dist. Atty. Thomas E. Dewey (right) met at a dinner in Washing
ton, D. C. Each is battling for G.O.P. national convention delegates.
President Roosevelt officially opened the 1940 major league base
ball sea-on when he tossed the first hall in the game between the
American League Washington Senators and the Boston Red Sox
and which the latter won, 1 to 0. This picture wai made jurt as the
ball left the President’s hand.
