The poll said Nixon's approval rating was 56 per cent in January and 51 per cent in February. Key factors in the decline, according to Gallup- have been public disapproval of the Indochina war and the state of the economy. Some 17 newspaper delivery tubes and rural mailboxes were piled up at the entrance to the Daily Chronicle plant on Barber Greene Road during the night Friday. Vandals apparently ripped the tubes and boxes from posts in the nearby countryside and deposited them at the doorway as a prank. The theft of U.S.
