4 STRATEGY OF BIG POLITICAL PARTIES STILL IS IN DOUBT How to Make Best Appeal to Voters Bothers Both Repub- licans and Democrats By BYRON PRICE Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington From the standpoint of major strategy, mid-September finds the Fresidential campaign still in a wait- ing stage. Nothing is plainer sthan the intent ot the Democrats to reserve for the final hours of the battle whatever bombshells may repose in their ar- senals, whatever dramatic strokes of Policy they may be considering. On the Republican side, there is no evidence of a decisive choice between the two alternative courses which are open. The party still is free to adopt & plan of attack only, hoping to be voted into power by the force of anti- administration sentiment, or to ap- peal affirmatively for support by pre- senting @ definite program of its own. Both major party nominees are de- laying a detailed discussion of those issues which have been regarded gen- erally as paramount in the campaign. | Governor Landon has not yet laid | out the program he would adopt, if elected, with respect to relief; nor has President Roosevelt made specific reply to those numerous criticisms | sive could be changed to an offensive. appears to have contributed also to the delay in the Republican camp.

'GAMPBELL DEFENDS AAA FUND BENERITS; Asserts Large Payments Mad to Him Were Divided Among Indian Landholders oes ss {| Washington, Sept. 16—(4)—Thomas ; Campbell, world’s largest individual wheat producer, in a statement Tues- day night defended his acceptance of agricultural adjustment administra- tion benefit payments for retiring from cultivation land he leased from the Crow Indians of Montana. The Hardin, Mont., “wheat king”) said he was answering critics of the AAA who pointed to $52,000 Campbell received in benefits as one of several large payments made to individuals. | Campbell, here to confer with! President Roosevelt on soil conserva- | tion programs, said the $52,000 he re-' ceived as an individual for a curtail- ment program on 23,000 acres of Crow reservation land “really went to 260 persons, 259 Crow Indians and my- self.” “During the AAA I gave the In- dians from 15 to 25 per cent ‘of the benefit payments,” Campbell said. Campbell said his critics had made it appear he had leased the land from it from cultivation to obtain benefit payments, ! “I had farmed their land for tenj years,” he said. “Had I not done it, | they would have had no ‘wheat his- tory’ and therefore would not have been able to participate in the AAA! or the new soil conservation pro-' Scores Black Legion | | | | | | | The Black Legion was described by ths Oakland county, Mich. grand jury as a terrorist organization with political ambitions, in a report pre- pared and submitted by Circuit Judge Guy B.
