Dr. George Gallup, head of the Gallup Poll, has declined to predict the winner of the American Presidential election next month. He said in an address here that because of a "religious issue" in the current Presidential campaign and a lack of "great ecuiusiasm" for either candidate, no poll had any scientific basis for making a prediction. THORNE CASE Shrub Traced to Bradley Home SYDNEY, Tuesday. A botanist today identified plant particles found on the clothing of kidnap victim, Graeme Thorne, with shrubs growing at a house in Moore Street.

Clontarf. In a typed report tendered in the Central Court, the botanist. Dr. Joyce Winifred Vickery, said the shrubs did npt grow on vacant land at Seaforfh where the dead boy was found. Police witnesses claimed that Stephen Leslie Bradley, who has been charged provisionally in Colombo with murder, lived in the Moore Street house and moved out on July 7, the day Graeme Thorne disappeared.

Dr. Gallup said that the 1948 Presidential election "has induced a certain caution into pollsters' thinking." That year, contrary to the predictions of most pollsters, Mr. Harry Truman was returned to the White House by defeating Mr. Thomas Dewey. Campaign American voters were warned today that an anti-Catholic campaign would be increased in the United States eight days before election day in an I -J 1 4 i -j 1 ff 1 tr- Senator Kennedy said that Mr.

Nixon had altered his original statement on the need for the defence of the islands to bring his policy in line with President Eisenhower, that the islands should be defended if the Communists attacked on their way to Formosa. Senator Kennedy said that as his policy was also that the Islands should be defended if the attack was aimed at Formosa, he considered the issue could be dropped from the campaign. Mr. Nixon said that he was not ready to drop the question of the off-shore islands unless Senator Kennedy withdrew his statement made on a television debate that the islands were not worth defending. Accusation Mr.

Nixon accused Senator Kennedy of "dangerous Immaturity" and blunders in his foreign affairs statements. He said if the Democratic Presidential nominee, "had made these mistakes as President, the free world simply couldn't have afforded it" effort to keep Senator John F. Kennedy from being elected President. The executive director of the Fair Campaign Practices committee, Mr. Bruce L.

Felknor, said: "In every election cursed by dirty campaigning, the worst lies always appear in the last minute." Mr. Felknor said in New York that the campaign to keep Senator Kennedy, the Democratic candidate and a Roman Catholic, out of the White House will be stepped up by anti-Catholics on Reformation Sunday (October 30). "For months now plans have been under way on two levels to turn Reformation Sunday into a gigantic anti-Kennedy rally," he said: "One level is an inter-denominational association of fundamentalist churches. The other is an amalgam of hatemongers and bigots." Islands Issue In their speeches in campaign tours today both candidates referred again to the issue of the Nationalist Chinese-held islands off the shore of mainland China Matsu and Quemoy. room where he had waited most of the afternoon, Isolated from other witnesses.
