. 0 - MISS COUCH TELLS LANDON OF TREND Republican Campaign Work- er Informs Him “Things Look Fine.” By the Assoctated Press. TOPEKA, Kans., July 11.—Miss Nat- alie Couch, Republican campaign worker, told Gov. Alf M. Landon to- day that “things look fine” for his Presidential campaign and then re- ported to newsmen, “He’s really very swell.” v She added that, while lacking spe- ¢ific information, she did not “look for Mrs. Landon to take an active part in the campaign” and thought it wise for her “not to.” It was the first meeting between Landon and Miss Couch, director of women's ac- tivities in the Eastern campaign, with offices in New York. They talked for more than an hour in the Governor's Office. Mrs. John Hamilton, wife of % the Republican national chairman and Miss Couch's hostess, was pres- ent. “If Mrs. Landon did plan an ac- tive part in the campaign you would be advised of it, wouldn't you?” Miss Couch was asked. “I presume so,” she replied. Landon Receives Visitors. Landon spent the morning in his office, receiving visors and confer- ing with aides, including Charles P. Taft of Ohio, who is taking a lead- ing part in research' phases of the campaign. For the first time since his return from Estes Park, Colo., nearly a week & 8go, the Governor went horseback riding, arising at 5:30, before the full heat of the Kansas sun. Landon ex- Pected to spend Sunday in the near- by country. His calling list Monday included Alfred H. Kirchhofer, man- aging editor of the Buffalo Evening News, who has just been named pub- licity director of the National Com- mittee, and Hill Blackett, the new Public relations director. Miss Couch told reporters after her Landon call that she was “terribly enthusiastic.” While explaining that - THE SUNDAY STA WASHINGTON, Auto-Train Crash Fatal to Three general phases of the campaign were discussed, she said, “We didn't go into | details.” | " “Apparently, the Governor believes | people should go ahead in their own ‘way,” she said. “Then he gave you a free hand in directing the women's campaign in the East?” “He Didn’t Regiment Me.” “He didn't regiment me,” Couch said, laughing. She said, “Women are more inter- ested in the campaign this year than « in any year since 1928. “Gov. Landon is honest, sincere, able and direct,” Miss Couch said. | “He believes in a business form of | government. I can't find anything | about Landon that wouldn't appeal to | women.” The Eastern visitor described the | eampaign as “topsy-turvy,” in that “so | many Republicans supported President Roosevelt in 1932 and so many Demo- crats are for Landon because they be- lieve he typifies the true Jeffersonian spirit.” Miss Couch said Eastern women would be organized down to election precincts and that in New York State, at least, a house-to-house campaign for votes would be made. Starting eastward tonight, she planned a New England organization tour next week with Hamilton and Representative Joseph W. Martin of Massachusetts, Eastern campaign director.

Joiimited Agjustmenty Nancy Jo Landon Has Only One Birthday Wish, a Stove Dim pled Little Dau éh_ter of Republican 1 Candidate for President Will Be 4 July 29. By the Associated Press. ESTES PARK, Colo., July 11.—All Nancy Jo Landon wants for her 4th birthday anniversary July 29 is “just a stove.” The dimpled little daughter of Gov. Alf M. Landon told about her plans today in what her “big sister,” Peggy Anne, 19, termed her best “duchess” manner. “Mommy is very busy this morning,” said the curly-haired child, “and I thought you might like to know about my birthday.” She seated herself on a footstool on the sun porch of the canyon ranch house the Republican presidential nominee has leased for his family for the Summer, smoothed her pink cot- ton dress and folded her hands in her lap. » “I'll be 4 years old on July 29,” she confided. “There’ll be a party back in Topeka.” Mrs. Landon explained: “She is referring to the party given 1 in her name by the day nursery of the Topeka Provident Association, where | mothers who are working can leave their children. On Nancy Jo's birth- | days, the Governor and I send over ice | cream and cake. “That is one of the ways I'm trying to teach the cnildren to be helpful fortunate.” There probably will be ice cream and | cake at the ranch here, too, for Nancy | Jo. “What do you want for your birth- | day?” she was asked. “A stove,” she said. “Anything else?” “No, just a stove.” At that mcment she spied her brother Jack, 2, riding baseback on a brown pony with Lacy Haynes, jr., 14, son of a Kansas newspaper man, and lost interest in the party. She slid off the stool and scampered |away. 462 ARRESTS MADE BY PARK OFFICERS 39 Persons Were Taken for Speeding on Boulevard, Report Shows. A total of 462 arrests were made by the park police last month in the city parks, and 39 arrests were made along the Mount Vernon Memorial boule- vard, most for speeding uffenses. Capt. P. J. Carroll reported a total of $3,239 in fines and forfeitures of collateral. As usual, the “drunks” and the traf- fic violators had a race for first place, the latter winning by a margin of 11 arrests. There were 156 violations of traffic regulations, including speeding and reckless driving, against 145 ar- rests for drunkenness in the city parks. Along the Mount Vernon boulevard there were 39 arrests of traffic viola- tors. Two persons were killed and 27 injured in the 47 automobile accidents reported by Capt. Carroll for the | month.

Norris, Nebraska’s veteran Sena- tor, quietly observed his 75th birthday anniversary today at his Wisconsin Summer home without answering the question whether he would run for a fifth term in the United States Senate. A bi-partisan committee. of volun- teers is circulating petitions to “draft” Norris for another term. President Roosevelt and the Nebraska State Democratic convention both have urged him to seek re-election. But he maintained today the non- committal attitude he has observed for weeks.

It will not be necessary for the Sen- ator to accept the petition nomina- tion, but if he declines to enter the race he must file a notice rejecting the petitions. “The movement to draft Senator Norris is unique in American political | history, and has never been dupli- cated in any State,” Lawrence said. “It is based purely upon the belief his long record of achievement in the Senate, where he has fought more great battles than any other man, dic- tates that he should continue to Norris has been in public lifs 40 years, first as a district judge here, a post he held unti he cniered the House of Representatives in 1903.
