Winnipeg Telephone 33 042 U.S. GALLUP POLL Marshall AMERICAN INSTITUTE PUBLIC OPINION PRINCETON, Oet. 13 The Truman Administration faces serious problem in winning full public support for the Marshall Plan. The problem grows out of lack of public familiarity with (1) the plan itself, and (2) the situation in Europe which the plan is designed to meet. Proof of the existence of the problem is that Americans who are the most familiar with the Marshall Plan give it a favorable vote.

Those not familiar with it give it an unfavorable vote when the plan is explained to them in terms of lending money to help European countries. The Arst hurdle which the State Department faces is that only about half the voters of the nation say they have heard or read of the Marshall Plan. From coast-to-coast interviewers for the Institute asked voters: you heard or read about the Marshall Plan?" The vote: Yes No 51 Those who have heard of the plan were then asked the question: "What le you understanding of the purpose of the plan?" A great deal of vagueness and confusion in the public mind is revealed in the answers to that question.

(CP)--A resolution asking the federal government to ban the Labor Progressive party and its "Communist affillates in Canada" was passed by more than 300 delegates representing 165 Ukrainian Catholic parishes in Saskatchewan at a week-end convention of the Ukrainian Catholic Brotherhood and the Ukrainian Catholic Youth. Plan Hard to Sell in U.S.

most of them had favorable opinion in general, the proportion of favorable answers being highest among the best-informed. But when the pian explained in terms of extending loans for billions of dollars to certain Europeon countries, in order to help them to get back on their feet, voters with little previous knowledge about the plan express unfavorable views. On the basis of this evidence, It would appear that the support given by the public to Secretary Marshall's key Item of foreign policy will depend almost en. tirely on how the government, the press and other mass media explain the plan during the next few weeks and menthe to those who have little familiarity with it now. according to degree of information of the voter.

Scientists flying with the operation emphasized it was not a hurricane-busting job, but rather a quest of information as to possible ways to dissipate storms in the future.
