continued their work in relative obscurity Two new figures which the present war haa pushed to the forefront are General Douglas Mac-Arthur and Donald Nelson The fact that these two have grown in popular stature since Pearl Harbor is not news but it is rthy fact revealed for first time in a survey by the Institute that both of them are today ranked among the top five by the public as presidential material for 1944 FDR la on List Although General MacArthur has no interest in elective office according to his friends and although his military duties would probably preclude his running for office the American public pays him the tribute of placing him at the top of a list of 18 presidential choices excluding Mr Roosevelt The 18 comprise virtually all leaders who have been prominently mentioned in recent years as presidential timber Next to MacArthur In popular favor as a presidential candidate comes Wendell Willkie the GOP candidate in 1940 and following him Thomas E- Dewey The next two ranking about equally so far as public favor is concerned are Henry A- Wallace and Donald Nelson The relatively high ranking given to Nelson a newcomer to the political scene is further proof that the public thinks the job he has undertaken as the czar of war production is being well done Teachers Have Bay Political observers well know of course that a man's popularity does

relatively unknown candidate Willkie came up to the front rank as the candidate most favored by the rank and file of Republicans Institute studies of that year showed that while Willkie was the choice
