It is merely an electrical connection in the until the moment when the totals are taken. Then all the electrical records are averaged by the machine. Designed for any group from a business conference to an audience of 120 persons, the meter records a true, uninfluenced group opinion, since each individual is expressed secretly and carries the same weight.

Percentage Vote Possible addition to group opinion, the instrument also is able to take a percentage of those in favor, of those not voting, and of those "on the fence." The device is effective in illustrating how discussion can sway group opinion in a short time from one side to another. In preliminary tests, group opinion measured at the end of a conference in some cases proved to be almost, directly opposite the opinion the same group at the beginning of conference. designers say it is effective for any group, ranging from per- DEATH NOTICES NASHVILLE TENNESSEAN, Thursday Morning, Feb. 20, GRUBBS-Wednesday, February 19, 1947, at 10 a. at his home, 6203 Centennial John Wesley Grubbs, age 54 He is survived by his wife, Mrs.

Public figures, politicians, educators and business men in Nashville, Middle Tennessee and. various other parts of the state will be invited to take part in survey, as will the man in the street and the housewife in the kitchen. Everyone who wishes to do so will be given an opportunity to register his or her opinion on a series of interesting and important questions now being compiled especially for this survey by nationally known educators, lecturers and writers on international and domestic affairs. Lists of Questions Planned In some instances, lists of questions will be given to voters or jurors in advance of samplings in order that they may have an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the issues to be discussed before the questions are presented.

A developmental model of the device will be used in Nashville and Tennessee.

In the meantime, are advising our membership not to be alarmed and to take no steps without the full advice of their parent body.

We are confident that our organization can weather the storms intended by this offensive legislation. "The labor movement has grown strong in the face of adversity and we are confident that our union will stand staunchly together in the present crisis. We are assuring our membership that immediate steps are being taken to secure competent legal advice as to the proper procedure to follow. No action should be taken by any local union except in conformity with the policy to be determined by the parent organization. "There have been rumors of work stoppages by local unions, in protest against this unreasonable law.

We are earnestly urging that no action of this kind be taken by our members. "Our members should remain on their jobs so that orderly procedure can be followed in bringing this law to the legal test in the courts of the land."

Frank Hobbs, state Democratic executive committee chairman and chief spokesman for Gov. Jim McCord, said yesterday after the move had taken beating in both houses.

"Some of the legislators just didn't understand what it meant," Hobbs said after the house had defeated the resolution 48-42 and senate opposition had forced the administration to back down on an effort to push it through. Hobbs said a petition asking it had 24 signatures. "They thought a steering committee would have control of their local bills, too," Hobbs continued. "But a couple of night sessions a week could easily take care of all the local bills in that time." There was still some opposition to the move, however. After Floor Leader Willard Hagan of Lebanon had moved suspension of the rules to consider the resolution in the senate, Sen.

James H. Cummings of Woodbury attacked "crystal gazers" backing it, and charged, must be afraid of this "Somebody, session." Sen. R. W. Smith of Newport said he noticed the petition had been circulated among new members and warned against legislators "being caught in the same trap we were caught in two years ago."

He recommended continuation the existing statute, which otherwise would expire with the unlimwited state of emergency, until June 30, 1948, pending action on permanent legislation.

Such legislation would keep the authority alive for any future emergency involving war on the high seas. Extension Asked For most of the 11 other statutes in the same category, the President also asked extension until June 30, 1948, pending enactment of permanent substitutes. The 24 which wants repealed include those authorizing the hiring of "dollar-ayear" men for government jobs, and the employment of United States nationals on emergency public works in Hawaii. The 36 permanent laws which would be permitted to lapse, while remaining on the statute books for possible future use, mainly apply to military personnel, supply and property problems. Mr.

said he has instructed the heads of all government departments and agencies to discontinue by March 15, 1947, the exercise of all powers derived from those statutes. Of the 10 remaining statutes covered by the President's message, five are to continue in force for periods ranging from six months three years after the state of emergency ends; two have no definite termination provisions, and three are slated to expire with the emergency. Mr. Truman asked extension of all of them. Burley Price Fair BOWLING GREEN, (Spl) Burley tobacco sales here yesterday totaled pounds at an average of $31.55 a hundred pounds.
