mo- Nov. 1964 ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH I8A Gallup FROM PAGE ONE St Louisan Had Key Role in Ending Battle at University in Bolivia By RICHARD EDER lf64, lork Time. Nr. rn ire LA PAZ.

Bolivia. Nov. 2-Mspr. Andrew A. Kennedy stood relatively more Democratic than men in their presidential preferences.

Women have traditionally been more conservative, politically, than men. This is the pattern in Western European nations also. In 1960, for instance, if women alone had voted, Richard M. Nixon would have won a majority of the popular vote. If youiliavea choice, take a fan-jet.

Another interesting feature of this year's race is the vote of young people. It was the early hope of Gold- water enthusiasts that their can r' ate didate would make his greatest appeal to younger voters. Yet, even though many young people are found in his audiences, vo ters under the age of 30 have actually been more pro-Johnson than older voters. It is important to point out three precautions that should be taken by readers in interpreting in the city's cemetery and read the service for a student killed in last Thursday's fighting at the university. Then the slight, gray-haired American pncst.

"Remember, you are not poing to shout as you go through the city," he told the studonis as they piled into trucks on their way to a protest meeting. As the students drove off. obediently quiet, a man slipped through the crowd and Msgr.

Kennedy put his arm around him. He was a union leader from the Siglo Veinte mine, the center of leftist resistance to the government. He asked Msgr. Kennedy to intercede for some jailed tin miners, and the priest promised to do what he could. 44 Sleepless Hours The priest, who is from St.

Louis, is the most widely acclaimed figure in La Paz today. From last Wednesday through Friday, for 44 sleepless hours, he argued and pleaded, waited for hours in government these results: (1.) Findings deal only with the i popular vote. It is the electora vote that decides the winner. It is possible for a candidate to wm in the Electoral College and have less than a majority of popular votes. (2.) Polls cannot estimate the effect of last-minute party activity on the vote registered for a candidate.

He climbed over a locked gate and, after a dispute, got inside the building. "I told them that nobody had sent me and that I wanted them to tell me what was on their minds," he said.

"They gave me of fruitless telephone calls, and drove back and forth through the city.

This year, the Goldwater workers have been more active in making calls on voters. (3.) Sampling in all fields Is subject to a degree of error. The best guide to the size of this error is the poll's own record.

In the years since 1948, when basic changes were made in sampling procedures, final figures of the Gallup Poll have pointed to the winning candidate, or party, in all of the seven national elections. Final results have varied from the actual election results by an average of 1.7 percentage points. The range of error in these seven elections has varied from 0.5 to 4.4 percentage points. The prudent reader, therefore, should take account of this range of error in evaluating today's report. The interviewing areas used in the survey reported today constitute a probability sample of 270 election precincts.

Selection of households and respondents within households was by a prescribed procedure which is designed to make the choice of respondents systematic and not left all trie typical nonsense, sam they were ready to be martyrs if necessary." "Anybody who dies without reason," he told them, "is not a martyr but a damned fool. Why don't you delay your demonstration a week or two and catch the government by surprise?" Impressed by this line of argument, the students agreed to put off their demonstration if the government did the same. At midnight the priest went to find Humboldt. Officials said he was not available. Finally an aid told the priest that the demonstration could not be canceled.

The general agreed that Msgr. Kennedy could visit the prisoners. He told the priest that the government was going to call a counter-demonstration of its followers in La Paz on Thursday, to coincide with a scheduled demostration by the university students. "After I left San Roman, a newspaper called and asked if I was acting as mediator. I hadn't thought of it, but that gave me the idea.

The students decided to move outside.

Building Set Afire By 6 p.m. some students had gone to the Health Ministry and set it afire. Then the battle began. Groups inside the university fired machine guns and rifles and threw dynamite at the government forces, who returned the fire. A little late, President Victor Paz Estenssobor telephoned Msgr.

Kennedy, who had gone home, convinced he had failed. The President told him that the militia wanted to go in and tear the university apart and that he would have to let it unless the priest could persuade the students to surrender. The priest drove back and ducked inside the building. The militia had taken the first two floors and was firing upstairs. The priest went to the third floor and persuaded the students to surrender.

For two hours he went in and out, leading the students, who were taken away for questioning. By the time the affair was over, two soldiers and one student had been killed. Msgr. Kennedy Sent to Aid Poverty-Stricken Bolivians Msgr. Kennedy has been In Bolivia since 1956, when he and two other St.

It would obviously be misleading to include persons in the sample who are ineligible to vote or who have no intention of going to the polls. Copyright, 1964, American Institute of Public Opinion. ROCK 'N' ROLL PERFORMER ARRESTED ON JUDGMENT Jackie Wilson, a rock 'n' roll performer, was arrested Saturday night on an old default of contract judgment after leaving a show at Kiel Auditorium by climbing from a second story window and jumping from a by government. When government has the power to determine wages, hours, or working conditions of workers, we are on the road to dictatorship with the workers, as usual, being the first victims, but certainly not the last. Whether one considers Jimmy Hoffa respectable or not, his case is another example of this Administration's disregard for the fundamental constitutional rights of individuals.

The question of Mr. Hoffa's guilt or innocence will be determined by the courts. However, when the Federal government violates our Constitution and common rules of decency in order to con-vict an individual, we are closer to a police state and a dictatorship than most of us suspect. If so powerful a man as Jimmy Hoffa has his rights violated, then the constitutional rights and priv-ileges of all of us are placed in jeopardy! The railroading of sane, innocent persons into mental institutions such as Mary Kimbrough Jones and General Walker seemingly indicates the true attitude of the present Administration toward the civil and constitutional rights of individuals. The widely publicized Civil Rights Bill was motivated more by political expediency than a true concern for civil rights.

The branding as extremist of all who sincerely oppose the present Administration's programs and propaganda, and their frantic and illegal efforts stifle or destroy the freedom of speech of their opponents, clearly shows their shallowness of principle and the weakness of their arguments. This Administration must be defeated November 3rd and we call on all men and women of America, particularly those in the ranks of labor, to join with us in the support of Barry Goldwater for the next President of the United States. For ourselves, we could no longer remain silent or indifferent to the many illegal and unconstitutional acts of the present Administration whose programs and activities will result in the destruction of our form of government. It makes no difference whether these acts are done consciously or unconsciously. We cannot continue to support men who are advocating courses of action which are destroying the benefits that our unions fought and bled for over many years.

In fact, we feel that we are morally obligated to oppose "big government" and its programs which will ultimately control working people both on the job and in their homes. We call upon all citizens who take their moral and civic obligations seriously, to join with us to defeat this new form of tyranny which would enslave us while pretending to be the friend of the working man. The short term "benefits" big government plans to bestow upon us are like the "benefits" that Caesar bestowed upon the Roman Republic. The price the Roman people paid for their "benefits" was the destruction of their Republic and their freedom. We list a few of the causes that compelled us to take this action: the use of the massive power of the Federal government to force "compulsory arbitration" of labor disputes.

Compulsory arbitration is not free collective bargaining. For example, the use of compulsory arbitration by President Johnson to enforce upon the railroad workers a settlement of their dispute to which they would not voluntarily agree, is a form of tyranny. Free labor as represented by the labor unions cannot let their terms of employment be determined by an outside group, whether it be the Federal government or an arbitrator appointed DIAL GE 6-5500 FOR THE LATEST SPORTS RESULTS 24 HOURS A DAY! and lor complete details always turn to The Sports Pages of The ST.
