POLLOCK Ploli'tical Polling Meet, Ends Here A three day colloquium concern- ing "The Role of Public Opinion Polls in the Study of Political Par- ties" ended here yesterday. The' conference, sponsored by the political science department, was attended by professional poli- ticians and experts in public opin- ion polling as well as political scientists. Gallup Tells. Of Polling EXeriences By MICHAEL BRAUN George Gallup spends most of his time thinking about what oth- er people are thinking about. As head of the American Insti- tute of PublicOpinion he is profes- sionally interested in people's opin- ions on everything from the A line to the Eisenhower administration. Public opinion polls reached a turning point in the 1948 presi- dential elections when all their predictions ran smack up against a little man from Missouri. "Since that time," he says, "we have developed and improved our methods. But we always keep the fact in mind that sometime in his- tory, polls will go wrong again." Machinery of Public Record When questioned as to the use- fulness of pre-election polls, Qal- lup replies that "they are of no advantage. Our main purpose is to establish some machinery of public record." "The function of public opinion polls," he continues, "can prob- ably be best explained in the words of James Bryce-'The obvious dif- ficulty of government is in ascer- taining that difficulty." Gallup feels that public opinion polls have several distinct advan- tages. "We can report public sen- timent faster than any other me- dium, including the press," he says. "Public officials respect our findings for their accuracy but are not necessarily influenced by them. Although," he adds, "Tru- man may have been disillusioned in 1948 by the number of people ?+ who were 'going to vote' for Dew-. ey " Reliance on Mail E Before the advent of public opinion polls, politicians had to rely on their mail to determine what the public was thinking about. Gallup feels that the mail A is merely "the sentiment of the ar- ticulate minority." Because it is the voice of a mi- nority, it is always wrong, Gallup says. As evidence he points to the mail concerning Prohibition. "It was mostly from groups like the WCTU, and 9 to 1 against repeal." The future of' public of public opinion polls? Gallup feels they will join the newspaper and the politician as "an accepted part of the American way of life." Judges for Case Clubs Announced Judges for next year's Law Sehnn1 Case Chih neuliminarv Prof. James K. Pollock, chair- man of the political science de- partment, called the conference to get diverse viewpoints on the topic prior to his attendence as a dele- gate at the International Confer- ence of Political Scientists to be held in Stockholm next year. Voter perception of the politi- cal party was a recurring theme throughout the six sessions of the meeting, according to John P. White of the political science de- partment. Voter and the Party "How does the voter envisage the party?" "What are his ex- pectations from it?" These ques- tions were discussed by Prof. An- gus Campbel, Head of the Sur- vep Research Center, George Gal- lup, head of the American Insti- tute of Public Opinion and Prof. David Truman of Columbia Uni- versity. The question of public opinion polls complementing, rather than competing with, traditional politi- cal research was discussed by Prof. Clarence Berdahl of the Uni- versity of Illinois and Prof. John Lederle of the political science de- partment. "Surveys should" be used to fill gaps in traditional research, not to supplement it," White said. International Polling "Cross national" or internation- al polling was also discussed. The difficulties of translating inter- Views, differing party organiza- tions and social factors, in addi- Salk Vaccine More than 300 Ann Arbor children will receive Salk vac- cine inoculations tomorrow.

The schedule for Ann Arbor schools will continue through Friday. tion to varying individual percep- tion were brought out in a panel that included Prof. Alfred de- Grazia of Stanford, Prof. Daniel Katz of the psychology depart- ment, Prof. Stein Rokkun of the University of Oslo and Prof. C. B. Macpherson of the Univesrity of Toronto. The parties also use the polls to determine the effectiveness of particular campaign strategies. "Significantly" White says "there was very little discussion of the 'bandwagon' effects of polling. He explained that this was the theory that the publichis influenced in their voting by public opinion poll results and casts their ballot for the favorite in a pre-election poll." Nominating Process "However" he continues "other functions of polls such as in the nominating process were discuss- ed at length." As an example, White pointed to the Republican presidential hopefuls in 1952. "Be- fore the convention practically every poll showed that Eisenhower would run stronger than Taft against any Democratic candidate. White believes these polls were a "trnno- influincn at the nnvn- Would Abide Cease-Fire WASHINGTON W)--The United States has received indications that Nationalist China will de- nounce but abide by any cease-fire agreement which this country may be able to negotiate with Red Chi- na for the Formosa Strait. President Eisenhower and Sec- retary of State Dulles are looking forward to further word on the Nationalist attitude toward ending the fighting, when two of their top aides report Monday on a fly- ing mission to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's capital, Taipei. Asst. Secretary of State Walter Robertson and Adm. Arthur W. Radford, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, returned to the United States Saturday from For- mosa. Robertson was asked whether he obtained assurances from Chiang that Chiang would abide by a peace pact. He said that Chiang "made no such comment to me." But other officials in Washing- ton said that as a result of var- ious contacts with the National- ists on the cease-fire problem, they were satisfied that Chiang Kai-Shek would go along, re- gardless of how much he dislikes it. Chiang has repeatedly made clear in public statements his gov- His policy is to keep the war going ernment opposition to a cease-fire. and fight his way back to the mainland with American help. Cal.). He is basically opposed to any conference from which Chiang Kai Shek's Nationalists are absent but said "there may be some formula, although I am not yet advised of it, by which we could negotiatej directly with the Chinese Com- munists without affecting the in- terests of the Nationalists." Knowland said, however, he had no present- intention of resigning as Senate GOP leader. The 12 who signed a statement declaring they are back of Eisen- hower in "waging peace" were Sens. Gordon Allot (R-Col.), J. G. Beall (R-Md.,) Prescott Bush (R- Conn.), Frank Carlson (R-Kan.), Clifford Case and Smith (R-N.J.), Norris Cotton (R-N.H.), James Duff (R-Penn.), Irving Ives (R- N.Y.), T. H. Kuchel (R-Cal.), F. G. Payne (R-Me.) and Saltonstall. Smith has been a strong sup- porter of Chiang Kai-Shek's China regime. Saltonstall is Knowland's assistant leader. They said they joined in the general statement by the other 10' with reservation that 1. Chiang be represented, if possible, at any cease-fire talks and 2. "that such negotiations insure that the armed forces of Nationalist China be maintained mobile and available in the event of Communist ag- gression, or threat of aggression, anywhere in Asia', including Ko- rea and Indochina." Knowland said he is opposed to any conference at which the Na- tionalists are not represented. Ear- lier in the week, he criticized indi- rectly Eisenhower's statement that it would be "perfectly legitimate" to negotiate directly with the Chi- nese Communists for a cease-fire r in the Formosa Strait even if the Nationalists did not participate. EVA -V gD zt e A InIM3*h, 'M', Purdue' Nines Split Double Bill In Tie for First With Minnesota Special to The Daily LAFAYETTE, Ind.-The Mich- igan baseball squad split a double- header with Purdue, 17-0 and' 3-5, as it lost its firstConference game of the season yesterday.' One reason for the loss was the injury of Don Eaddy, star third- baseman. who was hit in the head in the. first inning of the second game. After losing Eaddy, the Maize and Blue were never the same team that they were in the first game. Eaddy was sent to the infirmary and it has been dis- closed that he is in good condition. He will return with the team. . Tied for First This loss drops Michigan into a first-place tie with Minnesota, which took both halves of its dou- ble-header with Iowa. The first game was a scoreless pitching duel until the fifth in- ning when ten Wolverines scored. From then on Coach Ray Fisher's forces completely dominated the game, adding seven more runs to their score. Michigan pitcher Bill Thurston blanked the Boilermak- ers on seven hits in racking up the win. Purdue led all the way in the second game. Eaddy's injury real- ly made the Wolverines a nervous crew. It wasn't until the fourth in- ning that the Wolverines had' gained enough composure to score a run. Although they began to stage a comeback in the seventh inning, it was too late in the game to do much good. Scoring Barrage The Wolverines concentrated all their runs in the first game in three innings. They scored ten runs in the fifth, five in the sixth, and two in the ninth. Bases on balls .accounted for some of the runs in both the fifth and sixth innings. Danny Cline and pitcher Thurston both hit triples in the fifth inning to drive in several of the runs. Cline con- nected for a homer in the next frame, while Bruce Fox made his contribution to the upheaval with a double in the sixth. Ken Tippery and Tony Branoff ended the parade of sluggers as they hit a triple and a double re- spectively in the last inning. In winning their fifth consecu- tive game, the Wolverines faced Purdue pitchers Ronald Teunis, Bob Khoenle, Robert White, and Carl Emde during the first game. The Boilermakers only needed two pitchers in the second game to snap Michigan's winning streak. Joe Hawthorne held the Wolver- ines to six hits in the seven-inning game, but needed help from Den- ny Blind to get the last two men out with the tying run on base. Purdue had its big inning in the See THURSTON, Page 3 C Cl S S --Daily-John Hirtzel DELEGATES TO THE BIG TEN Residence Halls conference take time out to relax and tour the Michigan campus.

Delegates D iscuss Dorm Problems Takes Over, Declares He's 'Still Loyal' Bao Dai Ousted Earlier in Day SAIGON, South Viet Nam (4- Gen. Nguyen Van' Vy took over control of South Viet Nam today in a bloodless coup declaring him- self still loyal to ex-Emperor Bao Dai. He declared the revolutionary committee which deposed Bao Dai Saturday illegally and its provi-. sional government headed by Premier Ngo Dinh Diem was also illegal. Van Vy repudiated Bao Dal last night but he said he had acted under threat of death from the committee in the palace. Troops in Position Vy, who has taken over com- mand of the army on orders of Bao Dai, threw thousands of troops into strategic positions around the capital. He said he would maintain order and the army appeared to be behind him. Vy declared he had drawn up the declaration denouncing Bao Dai at pistol point and that the statement was not valid. Three-Point Program The startling turn of events came after the revolutionary con- gress committee."deposed" Bao Dai as chief of state and entrust- ed the regime to the American- backed Diem. It had set up a. three point program calling for: 1--Suppression of the rebellion of the racketeer army of Binh Xuyen. 2-Creation of a newly elected assembly. 3-Quick riddance of the rem- nants of French colonialism. 4 French Recognize Dai But the French still recognized Bao Dai, who lives on the French Rivera, as chief of state. The possibility of trouble here between the Vietnamese and French loomed when the French erected barricades around their Europeanized zone in Saigon to prevent Vietnamese from eter- ing. 500 Killed The civil war, in which 500 sol- diers and civilians have been killed and 1,500 wounded, was temporarily at a 'standstill. Binh Xuyen, driven from all points in Saigon except in theFrench-gar- risoned zone, licked its wounds in the Chinese suburb of Cho Lon, Diem claimed, his national arm" had won a stunning victory. The committee from congress then persuaded Gen. Nguyen Van Vy in a dramatic chance encounter at Diem's Independence Palace to denounce the deposed chief of state. Vy refused Bao Dai's com- mission to take over command of the national army.
