McCollough, Guy B. Gil- Inquiring Reporter Each day ave persons are lected tor their opinions OR question of the day. QUESTION Do you think Lindbergh's entry Into the a'rmail difficulties will affect his popularity? L. G. Rafferty, Wharton township.

"I don't believe it should but I do believe that in order to vindicate himself Lindbergh should make statement. I think he was sincere in his objections and that through his actions he was made the tool of the interests which he represents. I think he was justfed in asking the president to permit his side a hearing." M. J. Snyder, Murray avenue.

Yes, I think it will. He was foolish to get mixed up in it and from his message to the president I would judze it was intended for propaganda." Herbert Fike, 20 Braddock street. "No. Lindy only asked for a hearing for the side with which he has been identified and which will be so greatly affected by loss of the airmail contracts. It is the right of any man and any industry accord, ing to the constitution of the United States." M.

L. Jordan, North Union township. "Yes, I believe it will. Lindbergh was probably sincere in his protest but it has been given unfavorable publicity. If it was given to the press without his knowledge I think he should make a statement and clear himself." Mrs.

Jane Snider, Hopwood. "No. Lindbergh was only trying to make his side clear in a protest which seems justified. Perhaps the postal authorities know more than they have told but it does seem unfair to make the innocent. suffer along with the when the maintenance of an industry such as commercial aviation is affected." more, James W.
