LANDON ORIO TALK AWAITED AS "% TIP Kansas Governor, However, Says Speech Wednesday Is Non-Political. By the Assoclated Press. TOPEKA, Kans, November 2— Gov. Alf M. Landon, “just a traveling salesman for Kansas,” goes East next week for his first out-State public ap- pearance since supporters began ‘booming him for the Republican pres- idential nomination. He will address the Ohio State Chamber of Commerce at Cleveland ‘Wednesday. The Governor, brought to national attention largely through his main- tenance of a balanced State budget and reduction of governmental costs, said tonight the trip has no political significance. “I'm going to Ohio simply as a traveling salesman for Kansas.” Home State backers, however, await with eagerness the East's reaction to Landon’s speech. They hope Kansas economies will be hailed “back there” in contrast with what they regard as excessive governmental spending na- tionally. In a way, Landon will be going home. Ohio is his boyhood State. Landon indicated he will tell the Ohio organization how Kansas has “striven to place its house in order for the next period of prosperity. “I'm still Governor of Kansas and I want to see the State prosper. It has received much unfavorable pub- licity as a result of last Winter’s dust storms and the drought. If I can do anything to undo the wrongful im- pression many have, I will do so.” Landon plans to leave Monday, ar- riving in Cleveland early Tuesday. His schedule calls for departure from Cleveland Thursday. He said he| plans no stops elsewhere. MRS. PHILLIPS HEADS RED CROSS WORK Official Staff for Chevy Chase| Roll Call Is An- nounced.

THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, 1835 Library Hailed Club Banquet to Celebrate Founding of Children’s Movement. . “The Night Before Christmas,” St. Nicholas,” by Clement C. Moore, America in 1822. More than a century ago the aul in pamphlet entitled “A Visit From LL. D. Written in United States of thor of the “yellow and frail 16-page pamphlet,” from which the above reproduction is made, read his Christmas verses for the first time to his own New York home. Printed in 1846, “A Visit From children before the fireplacg in his St. Nicholas,” by Clement C. Moore, LL. D, is illustrated with woodcuts designed and engraved by Boyd. The facsimile, in a reprint by Dodd, Mead & Co., 1934, tells that the original printed pamphlet is owned by Melbert P, Cary, jr. It tells of the romance of this American-made immortal poem of childhood. IVING authors of books for children will be honor guests I at a banquet to be given next Saturday evening at the May- flower Hotel, when the Library Club of Wilson Teachers’ College of the Dis- trict of Columbia public schools will celebrate, at their second annual ban- quet “in praise of books,” the cen- tenary of the founding of the first free library for children in the United States. It was in 1835, in West Cambridge, Mass., now the city of Arlington, that Ebenezer Learned of New Hampshire, | formerly of Harvard College, made the | original gift of $100 toward this new venture in free libraries. He speci- field that the books were to “promote useful knowledge and the Christian virtues.” The personnel of this first library for children bears an analogy to the “Mastersingers of Nuremberg,” for Jonathan Dexter, a hatter, was ap- pointed librarian, and “Uncle Dexter"” brought the books to the library in a wheelbarrow. It's a far cry in child psychology | f today from 1858, when, in Sander’s ‘New First Reader” one finds this poem for childhood (with lugubrious illustration) : “What is that little grassy mound, ‘Where pretty roses bloom?” “Your brother lies beneath that ground— *Tis little Oscar’s tomb.” “Alas! did little Oscar die?” It is such texts, perhaps not quite so destructive, that Lawrence Tibbett decried in an interview last Spring in Better Homes and Gardens. | Mr. Tibbett has accepted the invi- | | tation of the library students and will be among the guests of honor at this Child Library Centenary banquet on He spoke forcefully upon “Songs I will not sing to my chil- dren,” listing among them our much- loved “Rock-a-Bye, Baby” with its breaking bough and falling baby! “There are so many good chiidren's songs, and so many of the old songs that have bad psychology,” said Mr. Tibbett, including the “bogey man” among them. He has been asked to | speak on “Songs I Give My Children.” | Mrs. Roosevelt, who is a true friend |of this library group, comes to them for the second Roosevelt, author” For Mrs. Roose- velt only last Summer completed a | book for children on the City of Washington. Padriac Colum, Irish poet, is to speak on “Irish Sagas.” Archibald Rutledge, famous nature writer, will | speak on “Wild Things Never Stop Trying.” Audrey Wurdeman, Pu- litzer Prize winner, 1935, will read her child poems. Charles J. Finger, New- | bery medalist and author of “Tales | From Silverlands,” will bring some of his world travels in “Vagabonding,” | his topie. | Joseph Auslander again writes the | Library Club that he knows no group |like them He has broken a profes- sional engagement to be present. Aus- | lander has described a child’s impres- |slon of true poetry as something “all | tingly inside.” | And so the list of writers for chil- | |dren coming to Washington for the Child Library Centenary—the first celebration on record—will bring their hear. The list of distinguished author guests also includes Floyd Dell, How- ard R. Driggs, Mary Nourse, Marie Agnighito Peary (Mrs. Edward Staf- ford), Rose MacDonald, Ella Mec- Bryde Brown, Elizabeth Foreman Lewis, William Atherton Du Puy, Frances Carpenter (Mrs. William | Chapin Huntington), W. Maxwell Reed, Mrs. William M. Mann, Alida | Sims Malkus, Arthur Bowie Chris- man, Stanley R. Harris, and from Oxford University, England, speaking, now exchange professor at Columbia University, who is sponsored | by John Masefield, poet laureate of England. Tickets for the banquet are now available from members of the Li- brary Club at the Wilson Teachers’ College. - | Boys and girls’ agricultural clubs are | | to be organized by the government of | | South Africa.
