Alf M. lLandon, looking forward to| the vacation trip he is to take to| Colorado Wednesday, conferred (oaay, with leaders on plans for a special session of the Legislature and made an addresg condemning “suppression of information affecting the public welfare.” The session, called to initiate amendments to the State constitution to enable Kansas to comply with the Federal social security program, will convene July 7. Republican leaders hope for a #hort one so that Gov. Landon might start as early as possible on his Re- publican presidential campaign. Gov. Landon, speaking to the Kan- | sas Editorial Association, observed: “Much has been said recently about the freedom of the press. There is, however, another danger which should be guarded against, and that is the suppression of information affecting the public welfare Hits Secrecy “I don't like secrecy mental affairs. “Suppression of news at its source is as dangerous to American insti- tutions as governmental control of news at point of publication.” Earlier he greeted another addi- | tion to his campaign staff—Ralph ‘West Robey, Columbia University economist, a former supporter of Pres- ident Roosevelt At a press conference Robey said he had supported President Roosevelt in 1932 “because I thought it was an opportunity to support a liberal gov- ernment. “I don't consider that we have a| liberal government,” Robey explained, | “but an irresponsible one.” Three Seek Governorship.

She said: “What my friend and I would like would be a tiny house—perhaps white with green shutters—but one that would have a very comfortable kitchen with a good stove for baking. I like my own home-made bread. “While we would endeavor to be the | ‘good neighbor,’ still, if we could be somewhat secluded it would be| very enjoyable.

STORM THREATENS | LOWER TEXAS COAST Shipping Warned Against High Tides and Gales South of Corpus Christi. By tre Assoctated Press. NEW ORLEANS, June 20.—A slow- moving tropical -disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico headed toward the | lower Texas Coast today, prompting storm warnings from Corpus Christi to the Mexican border. | The United States Weather Bureau | said the storm, traveling northeast- ward and increasing in intensity, might reach the coast during the night or tomorrow. The center of the disturbance in mid-afternoon was about 300 miles southeast of Corpus Christi, moving | 8 to 10 miles an hour with a wind | velocity close to its center reported | as “force 8” or 39 to 46 miles an hour. Meterologists advised there would be increasing northerly winds on the | lower Texas Coast tonight and prob- ably reaching gale force tomorrow. “Small craft near upper Texas | Coast should remain in safe places Sunday,” the warning stated. “Cau- tion advised against high tides and gales on coastal islands and lowlands from Corpus Christi southward.” Ends 50 Yenrs in Mine.

Several replies have been received listing mothers-in-law, fath- ers-in-law, Cousin Joes, Uncle Willies, etc., and noting in the margin some- thing to this effect: “But you may be sure these people will not be with us if we go to Greenbelt—they're one reason we want to move!” Interested in Low Rents. A Takoma Park woman wrote that she was anxious for a home on the project because rents were so high and, with a Government salary of $1,440, she was the sole support of a tially | disabled, unemployed husband and several children. A Washington man wants to get his invalid mother “away from the noisy families, at least on one side.” Apparently this writer, in a previous “Tugwelltown” articles, gave a Smith- sonian Institution guard the impres- sion that the community would be a desirable haven for small children. “When I read the article in The Star Wednesday about Greenbelt,” he wrote the R. A, “I was very much en- thused over it, as I felt this was an ideal spot to rear children.” The guard added that he wanted to bring his family here as soon as pos- sible, if they could settle in Green- belt. Other applicants include a retired Federal meat inspector and a Wash- ington newspaper man. It was worth the climb up three flights of stairs in the old Walsh man- sion, 2020 Massachusetts avenue, oc- cupied by Resettlement’s suburban division, to read those housing notions. Some were almost biographies. Apology Is Offered.
