Beer, Stouffer Plan To Talk at Forum

"Who Will Win in '56?" will be the topic of discussion when news analyst Louis Bean, Samuel H. Beer, professor of Government, and Samuel A. Stouffer professor of Sociology, meet at the Ford Hall Forum Sunday night.

The forum will provide a "discussion rather than a debate" about the political situation, according to Stouffer, who has conducted political polls at the University in previous years. The sociologist said he has kept up with Gallup poll results which indicate an advantage for Eisenhower in the present campaign.

Beer, state chairman of the Americans for Democratic Action, last week called the defeat in the Minnesota primaries a major setback for Stevenson. If Kefauver wins in the nation's primaries, Beer predicted, a dark horse candidate might get the Democratic nomination.
