Scouting for Voter Trends 'We are in the thick 6f the political pulse-taking season. Reporters and other opinion samplers are combing the country. Generally speaking, this trend- aearchinff is quite different from that practiced even a few years-ago.

In former days the method was to tap the views of Democratic and Republican county chairmen around the nation. They were assumed to know pretty accurately how voter sentiment was running their bailiwicks, and they usually did. The Doming of the public opinion polls added a new dimension to the business. The pollsters sampled voters' views first hand, on what was declared to be a scientific basis reflecting a national cross- section. Now we've moved a step beyond these generalized poll-taking methods to the technique of pin-pointing sensitive areas which experience has shown give he indications of a trend.

Sarnuel Lubell, presently disclosing his 1956 findings in American newspapers, has been the real pioneer in field. His past researches enabled him to call many elections accurately especially the 1952 and 1954 battles. Lubell's knowledge of past voting performance in America is vaat and detailed. He plots his inquiries and his findings against a backdrop of economic, social, religious and cultural factors which give the story added meaning. Analyzing is the art of measuring major changes of sentiment, since only by such changes does one party unseat another.

Consequently, the key man in Lubell's searches is the switching one who perhaps voted for Mr. Truman in 1948, turned to President Eisenhower in 1952, and is going for Adlai Stevenson this time. Or the one who has traveled a Dewey-Stevenson-Eisenhower course. BLYTHEVILLE (ARK.) COURIER NEWS Hal Boyle's Column everybody's after voter. The New York Timei several teams canvassing the nation.

The Wall Street Journal been huning him down. One midwestern farmer tucked away on a remote dirt road complained he'd been visited by two reporters within a week. The American voted himself is really responsible for all this activity in campaign time. He isn't the predictable fellow he used to be. He's far better educated and informed than he was even a decade or two ago.

Changes in the techniques of communication keep him abreast of issues. He's more keenly aware of how they may affect his pocketbook and his general welfare. This broad sensitivity means that many just one or two usually determine elections nowadays. And no one can be sure too far ahead what will be the decisive combination of issues. Because the voters know so much more, the old sampling methods inevitably produce less.

Thus who want to try. to figure what will happen have no choice but to get out and leg it hard. It's all to the good. We're getting the best election reporting ever. And, more broadly significant, it indicates the American voter has moved to a new plane in direct response to the facts of his world as he has learned them.

Peter Idiom's Washington Column Unnoticed Part of Ike's Speech Told of World Reconstruction Plan WASHINGTON President Eisenhower proposed a vast, new, world-wide reconstruction program, to be paid for out of savings from disarmament, in an unnoticed passage of his first TV speech in his campaign for re-election.

White House sources point out this was really th big issue in the President's speech on peace, though he treated it somewhat casually. As a postscript to the speech, this world-aid idea is being emphasized today as the key to Eisenhower's world peace planning, regarded as the incentive to speed disarniainent- The idea is really not new.

That one or more new- questions about rheumatic fever in children, are presented by Mrs. R.J. She asks first, whether cortisone helps to cure rheumatic fever.

Unfortunately, it has proveii difficult to get at least of the value of these hormones' It is equally difficult to, know which of several hormones to give, if one gives any, and the amount.

For this purpose penicillin or some of the sulfa drugs have proved quite effective. They have now been tried In many areas and on many children.
