Qualifications of this sort are so numerous that, out of my 1,037 an swers, there are 191 which stump me I can't determine whether they consider themselves better or worse off, or Just where they were a year ago. The fact remains that the vast majority say they are no better off, or worse.

The net answer to the Initial presidential query is "No" emphati cally.

FLOOD OF NSIVERS Majority Give Emphatic "Ho" In Reply to Queries Submitted by the President By CHARLES P. STEWART (Central Press Staff Writer) WASHINGTON.

They appear likewise to represent every shade of political opinion democratic, republican and independent, apparently with the Independents strongly predominating. They manifestly represent, too, a high degree of intelligence. I'll say frankly that the first-class of this correspondence sur prises me. I wouldn't have supposed that so clear an understanding of existing problems was so general.

Hopes for an early settlement of the strike Of 800 stock handlers which has tied up activities at the Union Stock yards rested today on a secret peace proposal presented to employers by federal conciliators.

Efforts of the regional labor board to bring an end to the strike were spurred on by sporadio violence In which a guard and three workmen were attacked by strike demonstrators. Louis Heller and John Wilson, strike-breakers, were beaten and stabbed with pitchforks. The police guard in the yards was doubled when demonstrators threatened to attack railroad coaches used as sleeping quarters for strikebreakers. Federal conciliators held a lengthy meeting last night and early today with strikers' officials and officers of the Union Stockyards and Transit company, the employers, at which a basis of settlement wa presented. Details of the plan were kept secret.

Employers promised to give the proposal their careful consideration. It was understood that the plan calls for restoring the strikers to their Jobs, ending the strike at once and submitting to arbitration ail technical differences such as hours, pay and conditions of employment.

(I.N.S.) John W. Dillinger. 70, shabilly dressed and in poor health was alone today at his farm home near here with the stirring memories of the burial of his gangster son fresh in his mind. One man, described as a Wiscon sin oil distributor, offered $10,000 for the body and meager personal effects of the slain Dillinger. The elder Dillinger said: "I turned the offer down, but I do want to raise money to pay the mortgage upon my farm.

I'll accept negotiations for the personal effects of John but will not sell his body." At almost the same moment that the body of the notorious outlaw was being incarcerated in a rain- soaked grave in Crown Hill ceme tery here, police had located the rooms in which he lived in Chicago. They found no money or bonds In his rooms. A souvenir hunter was caught taking a tin cup full of dirt from the grave of the outlaw in hallowed Crown Hill cemetery here. Police made him return the dirt but did not hold him. Moving about the farm home of the elder Dillinger was the two young step sisters of the slain bandit, Doris and Frances.

These pretty girls lay aside their best blue dresses that they had worn at the funeral of the outlaw. Clad in "everyday" clothes they busied themselves with the chores about the farm home. Mrs. Audrey Hancock, sister of John Dillinger, was under the care of a physician today. It was stated that the months of vigil in which she hourly expected to hear that her brother had been mowed down by bullets of officers had undermined her health.

The funeral, the crowds, the publicity and the heat almost finished the job, her son Norman Hancock said. The towns of Mooresville and Maywood, jammed with motorists and the curious yesterday, were almost deserted villages today. Only a few of the residents congregated, sipped beer, and recounted the colorful events that surrounded the last "home coming" of the notorious John Dillinger.
