HEARST DECLARE LANDON CAN WIN Publisher Says Kansan Is “the One Man” to Unite New Deal Foes. By the Assoclated Press. TOPEKA, Kans, December 10.— Willlam Randolph Hearst declared upon his arrival here today to meet Gov. Alf M. Landon that he believed the Kansas Chief Executive was “the one man” on whom opponents of the New Deal could unite with a hope of victory in 1936. Landon, he asserted, “can be nomi- nated by the Republicans and can be elected.” Hearst, on his way to California, said he stopped off here to “get ac- quainted with Gov. Lapdon.” “He's been coming along so fast,” the publisher declared, “that I decid- ed I should meet and get acquainted with him.” Hearst reiterated his opposition to President Roosevelt, whom he support- ed in the 1932 election. Calls Landon a “Doer.” “The New Deal can be defeated if the Republicans and those opposed to the national administration unite on & man like Gov. Landon—a man who 1s a doer and not a promiser.” The Kansas Governor, Hearst de- clared, “understands the issues. His Saturday statement that the basic is- sue is one of regimentation versus | preservation of our Democratic ideals sums up the 1936 battle.” Hearst scoffed at suggestions that Landon's dry record might be a dis- advantage. “There is no prohibition issue,” he declared. “It's buried.” Hearst headed a group of news- paper executives having an appoint- ment today with Gov. Landon. Members of the group were to be Arthur Brisbane, noted columnist and chief editorial writer for the Hearst newspapers; Paul Block, New York, publisher of a chain of newspapers in | the East; George B. Longan, president of the Kansas City Star Co., and Henry J. Haskell, editor of the Kansas City Star. Hearst supported Roosevelt in 1932, but has become one of the New Deal’s | severest critics. Praises Pay-as-Go Policy. The publisher recently has praised| the “pay-as-you-go” methods of the| Schools to Get Extra Vacation In Spite of Rule Monday Before Yule Is Given Pupils and Teachers. Becavse Christmas eve this. year is. separated from a week end by only one day, Washington public school pupils and teachers will get & day's extra vacation. The last school day will be Friday, December 20. Schools reopen the day after New Year. Christmas eve falls on a Tuesday and Board of Education officials can see no reason for reopening schools on Monday for only one day after the Friday closing, despite a rule provid- ing that the last school day before the holidays shall be that preceding | Christmas eve. “Just think of the coal we'll save,” an official remarked. POETRY OF HORACE LAUDED AT BANQUET Dr. Lester K. Born Is Speaker at| Event Sponsored by Italy- America Society. In celebration of the bimillenium of the birth of the Latin poet, Horace, the Italy-America Society gave a banquet last night at the Mayflower Hotel, at which Dr. Lester K. Born, head of the department of classical languages and literatures of George | Washington the speaker. Many distinguished guests attended, including the Ambassador of Italy and members of his staff. Col. George B. McClellan, president of the Italy- America Society, presided. Dr. Born recounted the life of Horace and traced his literary de- University, was velopment, quoting copiously from his | works. Couching his address in terms of a prophesy, as it might have been given by a local soothsayer address- ing Horace, the new-born child, Dr. Born said: “Thy philosophy of life, destined to | ! be the despair of all who shall at- tempt to force it into a system or a category, thy love of nature, so am- | ply displayed in all thy poems—thy simple, charming diction and meas- ures which will enthrall poets of later days, thy complete accord with thy budget-balancing Kansas Governor and said that Landon “could win” if | nominated by the Republicans. | Hearst’s call follows closely upon| visits of several prominent persons presently or previously closely asso-| ciated with former President Hoover. | Hearst has declared against Hoover as a prospective G. O. P. standard bearer. Those visitors included Mark L. Requa, California National Republican committeeman and deputy food ad- ministrator under Hoover; former Senator Henry J. Allen, W. M. Jardine, Hoover Minister to Egypt, and Charles Curtis, former Vice President. Court (Continued From First Page.) of the Bankhead compulsory cotton limitation plan had precedence. Reed had the speaking role for the Government in this, too. Counsel for Lee Moor, & Texas planter, out to force the Texas & New Orleans Rail- way to transport his cotton without the tags showing he respected the law attacked, have contended the legis- lation constituted improper delegation by Congress of its powers. | It was necessary, for those in the | erowded court who wished to follow the proceedings intelligently, to un- derstand the difference between the A. A A and the Bankhead act. | The A. A. A. cotton program aims ' to contro} production of the Nation’s | crop through the use of voluntary contracts and through payments to contract signers for reducing acreage. ‘The funds are raised by processing taxes. The Bankhead act provides that the Becretary of Agriculture fix a national allotment for each crop year. Pro- ducers are given individual quotas from the national allotment. Davis Among Spectators. Spectators included John W. Davis, 1924 Democratic nominee’ for Presi- dent. He has filed a brief attacking A. A. A. The Archbishop of York again was present. A large number stood in aisles and Jammed against the walls. A smaller crowd was outside. Guessing about the court’s atti- tude on A. A. A. continued, with some observers looking for a division in the decision probably next month. ‘While Reed made notes for his re- buttal, Edward R. Hale of Boston, for the Hoosac side, expounded its con- tention that the A. A. A. comprised an improper delegation of authority by Congress. Thornton Hardie of El Paso, Tex., and Henry E. Hackney of Uniontown, Pa., lawyers for Lee Moor, had pre- pared arguments that the legislation was an invalid delegation of power by Congress to the Secretary and had no direct relation to interstate commerce. Reed was ready to say the measure was necessary for the “general welfare” and was a valid tax law. Ben C. Dey of New York expected to urge the court to rule quickly so his client, the railroad, would know what to do. Reed pleaded that the adjustment law did not encompass an invalid del- egation of power by Congress to the Secretary of Agriculture; that it did not authorize improper use of the tax- ing power, and that all its operations were countenanced by the “general welfare” clause of the Constitution.

By the Associated Press. Organized utility holding companies today offered to co-operate with the Government in reducing the multi- plicity of suits under the holding company act. Philip H. Gadsden, chairman of the Committee of Public Utility Execu- tives, said in a statement: . “If the Attorney General and the S. E. C. are anxious to avoid the prosecution of the multiplicity of suits based upon the public utility act of 1935, they can rely on the full co- operation of the utilities.” The offer was the first break in what has been separate efforts of the Gov- ernment and the utilities in the hold- ing company fight. “We recognize that it is important,” | Gadsden said, “not only to the electric| light, power and gas industry, but in the interest of general business re- covery that the constitutionality of the act be passed upon as soon as possible by the Supreme Court of the United States. “It should not be difficult to select suits brought by three or four principal companies and push them forward as rapidly as possible. The rights of litigants in other cases should be pro- tected in the meantime by temporary injunction granted without opposition. That is what the utility industry is| willing, and/ in its own interest and| in the interest of the country at large, | anxious to do.” PO I Exchange of Students Asked.
