Intellectuals Favor Draft Shift At APA Meeting
At the American Psychological Association gathering in State College on September 1, Dr. Bernard F. Reiss of Hunter College reported five Gallup polls showing intellectuals, once the most opposed to conscription, now lead in support. From 37 percent for and 58 against in 1937, sentiment swung to 61 percent for after France fell, with intellectuals moving from 10 percent stronger against than others to only 1 percent more in favor, a 1 1/2 to 2 point shift. The study aims to gauge intellectuals' role in social change as Karl Krechevsky warned of democracy-wealth contraction offering labor a choice between totalitarian and democratic paths.
