' One of the opinion polling or-
g animations comes tip with find
ings that the average American
is confused regarding the bill of
rights. The poll statistics showed
that 23 per cent of persons in
- terviewed said t h e y had never
heard of the bill of r i g h t s or
weren't sure they had: 3 per
cent had heard of the bill of
rights but could not identify it;
; 15 per cent gave confused or in
. correct identifications; and 23 per
, cent gave response indicating -a
reasonably accurate idea of the
content of the bill of rights.
- Now if we were to look at the

, that the American I people are
very ignorant of vitally important
.-facts about their government and

true that as to "book knowledge'
the score would be not nearly as
high as we would, like on -any
. test, the fact is that most people
'have a practical working under

bill of rights even if .they, can't

An! elaborate scale of war units,

of men idle and working days lost
The time has been lost despite
efforts of the labor unions to keep
the men at work.' 1

volved at least 235,000 . men and
cost well over 1,000,000 work days,

strikes- involving 102,000 workers.
None of the present walkouts
have been union-called or the re
sult of jurisdictional disputes. In
every case, the labor unions have
counseled against a walkout and
have urged mediation to maintain
war production while a settlement
