Thrart .ml inn.wirir. nnlls report the president leading in 20 states Wlm a comoinea eieciomi vine of 198. Gov. Dewey, they say, leads in 13 states with a total of 143 electoral votes. All three, falling to agree on who's ahead in the 15 remaining states, decline to forecast which candidate is likely to get the 266 electoral votes that are needed to win. A fourth poll, conducted for Fortune magazine by the Elmo Roper firm, finds Roosevelt lavored by oa.o per cent oi vne civilian voters, but this poll docs not go into the electoral vote. Population shifts, an appar ently close division of voters in many states and the impossibility of telling how the soldier vote will go are the chief reasons given by the poll conductors for their unwillingness, to make a prediction: Dr. George Gallup's American Institute of Public Opinion re ports Dewey leading in 22 states with 255 electoral votes, Roose velt ahead in 21 states with 206 electoral votes, and five states with 70 electoral votes divided 50-50 between- the candidates. Newsweek magazine, basing its verdict on the reports of 118 political writers throughout the country, puts the president ahead with 249 electoral votes to Dewey's 247, and looks to Pennsylvania's- 35 votes to de cide the election. - The Crossley! poll, giving Roosevelt 52 per cent of the popular vote after trying to esti mate the service vote, says the president would get 354 electoral votes to Dewey's 177 If sngnt in dications in doubtful states are borne out. .

It was called, according to Matthew Smith, MESA national secre tary, in sympathy with a juris dictional dispute between the MESA and United Automobile Workers (CIO) in the Toledo plant of the Electric Autolite company. First of the MESA members to leave their jobs were ap proximately 2000 employes of the Nash-Kelvinator corporation plant. Smith said workers in 24 other Detroit factories had been ordered to quit their posts. Among them were the plants of the Detroit Tap and Tool com pany, the Michigan Tool com pany, the- Parker Wolverina company and several others. Sympathy Strike Besides the strike in the Elec. trie Auto-Lite plant 24 other Toledo plants were affected by sympathy stoppages. At Cleveland, Emil Pettitto, national MESA vice president, said "No plants in Cleveland are out yet," but, he added, executive officers were voted authority for a sympathy strikej a few days ago. Caused by Discharges The Auto-Lite strike was pre cipitated by the discharge of six employes whom the company claimed it was forced to dismiss because of a maintenance of membership clause in its con tract with the United Automoe bile Workers (CIO).
