State Polls Indicate Roudebush Could Beat Hartke Two statewide polls taken for The News in January and this month show Fifth District Congressman Richard Roudebush would make the strongest Republican candidate against incumbent U.S. Senator Vance Hartke and would defeat Hartke. The second poll, taken Feb. 12 to 15 over Indiana, matched Hartke against Indianapolis Mayor Richard G. Lugar, state Treasurer John K.

Snyder, Secretary of State William Salin, 1968 GOP Senate nominee William D. Ruckelshaus, and Seventh District Congressman John Myers. The results were as follows: Hartke 46 Hartke 44 Myen 38 Snyder 40 Undecided 16 Undecided 16. Hartke ...40 Hartke 47 Rojidehush 47 Salin 36 Undecided 13 Undecided 17 The first poll, taken the week of Jan. 19, showed slightly different results, which were: A professional polling organization conducted the surveys.

Snyder is a formally announced candidate for the Senate nomination. Roudebush has not announced, but is regarded as a certain entrant. Lugar said Dec. 31 he would not run unless the June 18 state convention drafted him, or President Richard M. Nixon asked that he run.

Lugar said he did not expect either to happen. Ruckelshaus, now an assistant U.S. attorney general, said here Feb. 12 he did not expect to enter the race for the nomination, and added he regarded Roudebush as the strongest contender. Salin will run for renomination as secretary of state, and Myers for renomination to Congress.

Both men have been mentioned in Senate speculation, but neither has been regarded as a serious candidate. The Jan. 19 poll showed Roudebush, Myers and Ruckelshaus would do best with normally Democratic voters, each Republican getting 12 per cent of such votes. With normally independent voters, again in the Jan. 19 poll, Roudebush would get 44 per cent of these, and Ruckelshaus 41 per cent.

Snyder would get 22 per cent. The Feb. 12 to 15 poll showed Roudebush would get 15 per cent of the Democratic voters, Ruckelshaus 13 per cent, Snyder 12 per cent. With the normally independents, Roudebush would get 46 per cent Ruckelshaus 44 per cent, and Snyder 33 per cent. In the first poll, 41 per cent of those polled said they were Republicans, 34 per cent Democrats, and 25 per cent independents.

In the second poll, the breakdown was 33 per cent Republicans, 32 per cent Democrats, and 35 per cent independents. 43 Hartke 38 44 Ruckelshaus 48 13 Undecided 14 41 Hartke 45 41 Salin 36 18 Undecided 19 38 43 48 Snyder 40 14 Undecided 17 Lugar Myers Hartke 46 Lugar 43 Undecided 11 Hartke 41 Ruckelshaus 45 Undecided 14 THE INDIANAPOLIS NEWS H0M KS EDITION DOUBLE DRIBBLE Increasing cloudiness with chance of light snow mixed with rain tonight; warmer with rain tomorrow, Page IS.
