Washington Report
By BOX WHITLEY
GIMMICK.1 The Republican Par
ty has come up with a gimmick
that could stand some close watch
ing by the Democrats. In fact,
it's the sort of device that the
Democrats might be able to use
to advantage for themselves.
It works like this:
A team of so-called interviewer*
? usually two women ? conducts ?
poll in a givfen neighborhood. The
interviewers call on housewives ?
as a rule during the day while the
husband is at work and the chil
dren at school ? and begin their
pitch by saying they are taking a
poll.
Since most Americans have the
strange desire of being included in
polls, this is an effective means of
breaking the ice. The interview
ers ask the housewife if she thinks
the ,U. S. A. has made real pro
gress toward lasting peace in the
three yean. The obvious answer is
yes. Then comes a series of other
questions. Do you think you and
your family are better off now than
three years ago? Do you think the
U. 8. A is following a wise course
in dealing with Communists?
THE 'POINT. On t&e surface, the
point of all these questions might
seem vague, but that isn't the case
at all. All the questions are phras
ed so they will get affirmative an
swers, and put President Eisen
hower and the Republican Admin
istration in the best possible light.
The final questions are these. Did
you vote for Eisenhower of Stev
enson? And then: Would you vote
the same way next year? If not,
why?
ANSWERS. With the answers
to these queitioni, the so-called
pollsters are armed with valuable
Information. It is a clever way to
search out the gripes and com
plaints against the present Admin
istration. But more important,
with questions properly phniml
it ia a vary effective way to help
voter* think the EUenhonhower
Administration la doing ? terrific
Job. ' I
TURNABOUT. The fame device
could ha uaed J tut aa affectively
by the Democrat*. Their pollatera
could aak: Do you think our gov
ernment is dominated too much
by big bu*ine**T la ia viae to let
our farm economy slump while
industry ia enjoying the biggest
profit* ever? Is your family fur
ther in debt now than it waa three
yeara agoT Do you think taxea on
working people are too high?
At any rate, it givea the Demo
crat* something to think about.
And it'a a sure sign that the Re
publicans mean buaineaa about
next year'a elections and are go
ing to the graaa root* to atart
their campaign.
United Statea exports of lard,
tallows and greaaea, cattle hides,
calfakina, and edible offal pro
ducts continue at relatively high
levela and are expected to con
tinue large.
