THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1949 ERP Risks Failure in Five of 19 Areas * * ST. MARY'S STUIDENTCHAPEL - and her foremost allies, Britain and France. The ECA, mixing in, . has already been stung. ECA, because that is its mis- sion, views Western Germany as an economic problem. But it is one in which political and military problems inevitably overshadow anything economic. Presumably American policy is based on the belief that Western German's quick recovery is essen- tial for the economic health of _ Europe. Both Britain and France, but France particularly, have shown alarm that Western Ger- many may become a strong in- dustrial competitor and an aggres- sive threat. Their maneuvers have impeded Western German's re- vival. * * * THERE is not yet even a joint recovery program for the French and U.S.-British zones, although the ECA has pleaded for one. Yet Western Germany absorbed over one billion dollars from American taxpayers in a year. Britain suppiied Western Ger- many with the equivalent of $70,000,004) in foodstuffs, ship- ping services and other items. France supplied nothing. Frenchmen have considered American haste to stimulate West- ern German's recovery as a ju- venile delusion, or worse. They say it has mocked the tragic les- sons of history. * * * (ECA OFFICIALS in Washing- ton. however, report a marked brightening of prospects for re- covery Germany now is making. The State Department has an- nounced agreement on halting the removal of scores of industrial plants from the British and French zones. The plants were be- ing dismantled as reparations, or standing idle awaiting removal.

Holy Hour Group Gives nsfor T.uman Win By PAUL BRENTLINGER In a post-mortem of last No- vember's election. the University's Survey Research Center has come up with the answer to exactly why President Truman surprised all the pollsters and emerged as a surprise victor. Results of the survey, made pub- lic in vacation week, show that the Democrats triumphed in No- vember simply because they out- numbered the Republicans, not because the Republicans failed to go to the polls. Actually, many more Democrats than Republicans stayed home on election day. * * * DIRECTED BY Prof. Angus Campbell and Robert L. Kahn, the study was made by interviewing a cross-section of voters throughout the nation. The local research ex- perts use a highly controlled meth- od of sampling, which strives to eliminate biases which can show up when the interviewer himself chooses respondents. Failure of the major poll tak- ers to use this sort of sampling was a big reason why they mis- ,udged the election results, ac- cording to the Survey Research Center. The University survey examined the characteristics of Democratic and Republican voters, the impor- tanee of various issues, the effect of the campaign, and related ques- tions. SURVEY FINDINGS indicated that Republican voters were more likely to make their decisions early n the campaign, and less likely to change their mind. Those still undecided in Oc- tober voted two to one for the Missourian. Thus, those polls which ceased operations early in the campaign were obviously doomed to embarrassment on the morning after election. The Democratic strength was in the lower age groups, the labor- ing groups, farmers, and the low- er income groups. Dewey drew most of his strength from the col- lege educated, the businessmen, and the high-income groups. SINCE LOW-INCOME families outnumber high-income families, and laborers are more prevalent than professional people, it is not hard to see wh'y the University alumnus went down to defeat last fall. .. . ... . . .......... . ...... ...

Nobody predicts a flood of for- eign investors. Greece is anomer headache for ECA. One of the poorest countries in Europe to start with, Greece is in her ninth year of armed strug- gle, first against the Axis, then against Communists. ECA All) has amounted to $172,000,000 for the first year. Even this may have to be in- creased in volume. Greece has no fInancial sta- bility, her refugee problem is enormous, her army is bigger than ever, and the guerrilla war drags on. Austria, a rump state left over from the dismemberment of an enemy empire in 1918, emerged from the second world war sup- posedly recognized as a liberated nation. To date, she has been de- prived of an inpendence treaty, Russian commissars dominate sev- eral of her major industries in- cluding oil, and her foreign assets are lost. war solvency for occupied Austria is still out of sight. The free territary of Trieste, which the United States, Britain and France now want to hand back to Italy, has cost ECA $17A 000,000 in a year. The money re- paired some port facilities, en- couraged the rebuilding of several factories, and kept the people from starving. As long as Trieste dangles alone at the edge of the iron curtain, it probably will be a candidate for U.S. charity. Just to protect it requires the continued presence of 10,000 American and British troops-one soldier for every 33 ci- vilians. A third of the working population is unemployed.
