U-IDAHO STATE JOURNAL Monday, October 22, Hello, Folks: Last week a lady asked, "Do you have a sale on watches?" Answered the Bess, "No, but we have the best buy, without any ballyhoo about sales." She bought, she got the best deal, she is Read this quote: "Association of Better Business Buretu plans to launch a strong national campaign against the use of FICTITIOUS price claims in Jewelers outlook. Ticker has been campaigning just that for several decades. Further quote from ABBB: "Abuses are on the they seriously threaten the public's faith in ALL advertising, and is being done by some of the nation's largest sotres; the problem is further complicated by fake pre-ticketing and inflated list prices carried on by nattcftial manufacturers and importers.

Steel Mill Hand Leads Fight on Union Officials PITTSBURGH (UP) A night- working steel mill hand, whose belligerent opposition to a $2 a month increase in union dues has swelled into a growing rank-and- file revolt, called today for 'across-the-board" opposition to the international officers of the United Steelworkers of America. Don Rarick, who toils untlcr the towering cranes in U.S.

Steel Corporation's Irvin works, declared USW President David J. McDonald and his aides "have let down the little fellow tremendously" by signing safe-standard contract with the steel industry and then boosting dues and raising their own salaries. Rarick said thousands of steel workers in the mill-studded Motion' gahela Valley will rally tonight at McKeesport, 15 miles from here, to hear reports on a "spreading protest" to the dues increase massed at the USW biennial convention in Los Angeles last month. Rarick said his "dues protest committee" already had drawn support from the northern Ohio and eastern Pennsylvania steel jroducing areas. More support, he said, is in prospect from the Chicago and Gary districts.

"We're going to have to rent a post office box to take care of our mail," the grievance committeeman of USW Local 2225 said. "It showed that if we're to have democratic, union, the international officers are going to have to withstand opposition in our elections next February." The "Dues Protest Committee" already has called on William iart, an anti-McDonald man who heads (he union's Allegheny Valey district, to run against McDonald, who has held the presidency of the USW since the death of Philip Murray in 1952. Hart has not answered. Plan to vote for I Elsenhower-Nixon Stevenson-Kcfauver Undecided State Board Head Lauds Ul Students MOSCOW (UP) John Peacock of Kellogg, president of the State Board of Regents Saturday praised the work at the scene of the Unl- 'ersity of Idaho dormitory fire and also extended the board's 'heartfelt sympathy" to parents of he three students who lost their ives. The dormitory was turned info a Iazing inferno Friday, killing hree boys and injuring eight others.

Moscow fire officials believed the fire was started by an ar- ionist. Peacock said that he and regent member John Spencer of Grange- had gone over all that was ieing done and felt (hat university iresident D. R. Theophilus and ither officials have established the est system of "watchfulness under the'circumstances." He commended members of the Army, Navy and Air Force ROTC 'or their "fine attitude" in responding to the call for guard duty in the campus. Peacock said he and Spencer also were impressed with the ''warm eeling the people of Moscow have or the students was exemplified by the many offers to pro- ide shelter for the burned out stu dents." Closing Weeks Hold Key To Who'll Win Election By ELMO ROPER Elmo Roper and Associates In Mid-September, we reported how the entire nation (except for the 10 per cent who volunteered they wouldn't vote) fell about the two presidential tickets.

Since that time we have been analyzing the answers to a variety of questions we asked in an attempt to measure as closely as possible how many will vote and who will vole. This analysis process is essentially a matter of human judgment--not a statistical science. We have now developed what we feel is the best measure we have been able to devise to date of how many will vote and who will vote. We hope that our judgment is right, but only the election can tell. The data we have Indicate that at (his writing, the maximum probable number of voters'will not greatly exceed the 63 per cent who voted In 1952 and, as a minimum, may fall as low as 56 or 57 per cent.

When we analyze the of our latest study, we find that as of early October the probable voters plan to vote follows: Probable Voters Early October Per Cent 52. 43 The candidate-preference figures we reported in mid September were: of Nation Early September Prefer: Per Cent Elsenhower-Nixon Stcvenson-Kcfauvcr Undecided When these two sets of figures are compared, it would appear that two things had happened: That Eisenhower had gained strength, arid that there had been a considerable crystallization of opinion among the undecided people. Actually, neither is true. The 'undecided" has "dropped" from 11 per cent to 5 per cent, and Eisenhower has "risen" from under 50 per cent to over 50 per cent iy reason of the exclusion of what we regard to be the probable non- Our latest study indicates no appreciable shift in sentiment-in either direction. We said in September that "The (September) figures cited above are based on the entire adult population except for the few who volunteered they won't vote.

We arc currently tabulating the battery of questions in the survey which are designed to reveal which people are most likely to vote." PROBLEMS COMPLICATE There are three major problems connected with determining vvliich candidate is ahead and by how much. One of them is the problem of getting an accurate reflection of preference. Another is the problem of determining who the people are who are undecided even a week before the election will ultimately vote for. The most difficult problem is, however, that of determining just low many people will vote, and-- even'more important people.

Our primary effort during this campaign--other than to explore the issues--has been directed at the problem of determining how many and which people will go to the polls. To the uninitiated, this might seem a simple matter of merely asking people whether or not they plan to vote. Unfortunately for pollsters, this is not true. Wh.en we ask people who they will vote for, only about 10 per cent volunteer that they will not vote.

When we ask a direct question about voting Intentions, only an additional 10 per cent say they don't plan to vote, leaving 80 per cent of the nation's adult population who say (usually indignantly) of course they will vote. As against this 80 per cent, only 63 per cent actually voted In 1952 and that was the biggest turnout in history. Voting is "the thing to do," and many who have no intention of voting arc reluctant to admit they don't. Our failure to evaluate properly who would and who would not vote was a major cause of our error In 3948. In 1952, we made significant progress in our attempt to determine who would and who would not vote.

This year, we have expanded our efforts, and have used a total Acfress Figures Swimming Scene HOLLYWOOD (UP) Tall, blonde actress Jean Engstrom figures her swimming scene in a motion picture will make a bigger splash in Europe than the United States. That's because she'll be nude in the version made for Euope and 'diffused" for the American version. Bel-Air Productions came to the conclusion that the best way to make everyone happy and to satisfy both domestic and foreign markets and censorship standards would be to shoot the 'swimming scene Miss Engstrom, married and the mother of a 14-year-old daughter, accepted the part before the decision was made to shoot It two ways nude and not so nude. "Sure I thought about it," she said. "I'm a dramatic actress.

I don't do this kind of thing every day. I agreed to the arrangement only after I was convinced I would not be exploited and that the picture with the nude version would not be shown in the United States." The film, "Voodoo Island," is 8 Boris horror story but has plants instead of weird animals as the monsters. The plants crush peo. pie and eat them on a South Pacific island, according to the story. Miss Engstrom, a featured player, is in the island jungle and hasn't had a bath for days when she finds the South Pacific version of the old swimming hole.

In the American version she gets undressed as the camera explores foliage and later is seen swimming under "diffused" conditions. She's far away, there's a lot of water spalshing and, she's wearing a flesh-colored garment anyhow. However, Europeans will see her doing what she calls "a languid sidsstroke" without clothing and minimum diffusion. For industry In general in the United States expenditures for research amount to about one per cent of the national income, but the drug manufacturing industry spends approximately five cents of each sales dollar for research and development, according to the Health News Institute.

Accident The Journal's Idaho News Service AMERICAN FALLS-Two brothers, Otto Knoblick and Bill Knoblick, were involved in a collision yesterday morning on Idaho street in American Falls, police reported. Damage to the right side of Bill Knoblick's car was estimated at $250, and damage to the pickup driven by Otto Knoblick was $100. Neither driver was injured according to City Policeman W. J.

Hoehnen, who investigated. PERMANENT ANTI FREEZE 60c 6.. 2.40 Quart STAR SERVICE STATION 209 On the Miracle Mlla of ten questions for this purpose. The questions are of four types: 1. Past record How consistently have people voted in the past? What was the last election they missed? Why did they miss voting in it? Do those who say they vot ed in 1952 "clearing remember voting" or are they only "fairly sure." 2.

Qualifications for voting -Are people registered? Are they United States citizens? Have they lived in the state and town long enough to qualify as'voters? 3. Voting intentions Do people feel certain they will vote? Or will they probably vote. Do they doubt if they will vote, or do they plan not to vote? 4. Interest in the election Are people interested in the campaign? Do they see minor or major differences between the candidates? Between the parlies? Do they feel it is of prime importance that their candidate win, or that it doesn't "make too much difference since there are good men on both sides." It was from this battery of questions that we r.ade our judgment as to who would and who would not vote. TILL The importance of the Stevenson- Kefauver-Democratic grass-roots campaigning approach, and the emphasis on getting out the 'vote at the precinct level, can be seen from the early October "turnout corrected" figures.

More, of the potential Stevenson voters give evidence of staying at home on election day than do the potential Eisenhower voters. In order to win, Stevenson must either increase the turnout among people inclined to his candidacy, or else convert to his candidacy some of those who are presently inclined toward Eisenhower. At the time of our latest survey, he still had a month in which to convert prospective Eisenhower voters. Whether he can be successful, only time will tell. But it may be remembered that just such a change in sentiment during the closing weeks of the campaign- contributed heavily to Harry Tniiian's victory over Thomas Dewcy in 1948.

State Department Holds Up Record Of War Parleys WASHINGTON (UP)-The Stale Department has run into snags in its plan to publish the record of wartime conftrences with Russia and of the Communist victory in China during Democratic adminis- tratons. Informed sources said neither of the two volumes, which were to have been published months ago, can now be issued before the election. They are being held up pending clearances from both foreign governments and agencies of the U.S. governmept. The series of historical accounts was ordered published shortly after President Eisenhower took office in 1953.

So far, only'one volume of either special series has been published--an account of the Yalta meeting between the late President Roosevelt, Britain's Sir Winston Churchill and the late Soviet boss Josof Stalin. The State Department had told Congress It intended to publish before last June 30 additional volumes dealing with World War II meetings at Potsdam, Tehran and Cairo and the first part of a massive 10-volume series on the Communist takeover In China. But officials said today it now dear that the next volume in the wartime conference series --dealing with the Potsdam meeting cannot be publushed until some time next 'year.
