J., February 19 — Which politi cal party do the voters of the country think is better ,, , handle such important problems as reducing strikes, encouraging new business, keeping wages and the farmers’ income up, maintaining high profits for business, keeping taxes from getting too high? More tnan zuu uciu he Institute have been probing roters and voter thinking on these ssues during recent days. Ques ioned on which party is better able « handle eight different problems, voters give the Republicans the idvantage on three, the Democrats he advantage on three, and neither party the advantage on the remaki ng two. The weight of voter opinion is vith the Republican Party on sucn iroblems as keeping taxes from Setting too high, keeping business irofits up, and encouraging new lusiness. The Democratic Party is given he edge on the handling of such iroblems as keeping workers’ vages high, maintaining a high ncome for farmers, and the prob ems of world affairs. It is a toss-up in the voters’ ninds as to which party would be letter able to handle the job of ■educing strikes and labor trouble V, #1 4U A 4 aU u 1 , M 1 W it. . . nent efficiently. Since October, when a similar survey was made, the Republicans lave made progress in convincing voters of their ability to handle the atter two problems. In the October survey, the Democrats held the ad vantage as the party better able o handle these problems. The same thing holds true for he problem of keeping taxes from jetting too high. While today, the veight of opinion favors the 3.0.P., in October it favored the Democratic Party. Voters in today’s survey were isked: “As you feel today, which po itical party—the Democratic or Republican—can handle each of hese problems better?” The problems and the votes: Riose in Which Democratic Party Has Advantage Dem. Rep. No. dif. Deadling with ivorld affairs 49% 38% 33% Keeping ivages high ... 60 21 19 Keeping ’armers’ ncome high .. 66 36 19 Those in Which G.O.P. Has Advantage Dem. Rep. No. dif.

While the Republican Party has •egistered some gains in the above questions since October, the find ngs underline the Republican Par ;y problem of convincing the voters ;hat it represents primarily the nterests of the common man. Voters incline to think that the Republican Party is the one to landle the problems having to do [ cop*- BY NEA SERVICE, INC. T.T*. REG. U. S. PAT.

The program will again emi nate by remote control direct from the Legion home, Thin and Dock streets. All legionnaires and the general public are invited to attend these programs which are aired fron the spacious ballroom on the third floor of the home. a. m: xjcgxuxi piugiani, all CU IJ i cooperation with the management of station WMFD, is presented for the purpose of arousing public in terest in the problems facing the veterans in this county. By the same token it also aims to promote cooperation on - the part of com munity and individual in solving these problems. The Legion pre sents both sides of the story—vet eran and civilian. By giving a complete picture of current condi tions the Legion hopes to develop means to eliminate, in so far as possible, the conditions leading to such ; oblerns. The producers of the broadcast invite veterans with a problem peculiar to their individual situa tion to write in their “gripe” and, in due time, it will be presented to the listening audience. They also invite all others, either with a prob lem or the possible solution of the problems presented, to send in tneir opinions fo max tneir sme ox the story may i be discussed. Do You Remember? When radio developed.' the first "dial stopping” program . . . No? Well it was the Amos and Andy broadcast . . what a radio institu tion they became . . . who can for get the parties which were postpon ed . . the number of automobile accidents which were chalked up with business and finance. The Democratic Party is viewed as the one better able to keep wages up for workers and income up for farmers: it is thus viewed as pri marily the party which represents the people. An earlier poll showed that only one in every ten questioned throughout the country felt that the below-average income people are the main interest of the Re publican Party. A majority—57 per cent—felt is it largely interested in tax people of above average in come. — "i ... all because riders were hurry ing to get someplace so that they might hear the airing . . . and then the next day—groups on the street corners, the clubs, the office or most anywhere would gather to discuss the Amos and Andy pro gram . . . why even the moving picture theatres interrupted their programs to bring the audience this program ... it was the talk of the nation . . . and the few who had a radio would invite neighbors and friends in for an Amos and Andy party . . that was about the time that radio engineers began thinking about putting radios in automobiles . . . and such troubles they came up against . . . first the car was made of metal and metal is usually used to shield against the reception of radio waves . . . next there was the question of power to run them with . . . the first experimenters used the car batterv . . . and each installation required a flock of B batteries and C batteries . . this in turn meant a whole mess of wires to spread all over the car . . . and boy, oh, boy, when the batteries began to decompose from heat . . . well, mess is the only word I can think of . . . The antenna was usually slung under the running board and if you had' all the suppressors avail able—and plenty of luck—you might be able to bring in a station providing of courre it was not out of range . . . The National Broad casting company cooked up the idea of hooking a couple of radio stations together ... by means of telephone line. . . this system proved successful and thus was born the Red Network . . . Another “Do You Remember” soon—same way—same column. Personal Piffle There are a few things of more common occurrence than shaking hands yet very little has ever been speculated upon the subject. 1 con fess, when I consider to what unim portant concerns the attention of writers and readers has been di rected, I am surprised that no one has ever found time to “handle” so important : matter. If you will recall no attempt has been made to give the public a rational view of the doctrine of shaking hands. Well this has troubled me, no end —so we did a bit of investigating. In the first place I have been un able to find in ancient writers any distinct mention of hand-shaking. As a rule, in those days, they fol lowed the heartier practice of Skin Sufferers OLDS* NATDBAL^nr? •““"»**««» M< n external andl^S' CAPS0L** snde ot testlmonSuf1 £***“«“*• Thou ■RUGGISTS AND ni__Ir°“,1 DOCTORS.

Incidental y, this practice has not wholly dis ppeared among grown persons in Europe. Unquestionably it has the advant age on the score of cordiality. As far as I can find out when the ancients trusted the business of salutation to the hands alone, they joined but did not shake them. May be the practice grew up in the age of chivalry, when the cumbersome iron mail, in which the knights were cased, prevented their em bracing. But there is nothing his tory reports which enables us to trace the progress of the art of hand-shaking in which it now exists among us. By the v:ay—would any of the readers have any data on this hand shaking business? Spot News Well, the ‘rst performance of ■ “Man On The Street”, according to all reports, has been favorably received. The second performance will be put on at 1:45 p. m today frnnf rtf "Rpllr-Williamc st.nrp. Tom Gause, in charge of the broad cast’s production informs us that he has a real surprise up his sleeve for this afternoon’s airing — this plus the silver dollars that are given away for correct answers asked the particiDants. As a final payoff there will be a jack-pot question in which all participants will be given an opportunity to win. It’s a local show you can’t afford to miss. If you can’t be at the broadcast in person tune in WMFD at 1:45 today and hear your friends on the air. And Remember, for spot news from Wilmington and vicinity, listen to the STAR-NEWS Round-The-Town Reporter at 1:25 and 6:25 p. m. every day.
