FRAT FORVOTE STRSEORN B Landon and Roosevelt Spur Campaign for Support of Middle West. Py the Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 26.—The in- tensive campaign for the presidential votes of Middle America’s farm States continued at a swift. pace today with Gov. Alf M. Landon on his way to Dregon, Til, to discuss agricultufe’s problems with Frank O. Lowden, the Republican party’s Cincinnatus. They will meet Sunday. . The Republican presidential candi- flate has completed nearly a week's swing through the farm States of the Middle West, and attention has been focused anew on the fact that evi- dently both Republicans and Dem- ocrats believe that as the corn belt goes, so will go the Nation in the 1936 presidential election. As the campaign nears a climax with Chicago speeches by both Lan- don and Roosevelt, interest has cen- tered on major political party condi- tions within these'States. Landon Speaks October 9. Landon will make his Chicago speech October 9, in the Chicago Sta- dium, where his chief rival was nom- inated in 1932. The President will make a Chicago address about a week later.

THE .EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9%, .1936. LANDON VIEWS HIT BY 2 IN CABINET Wallace and Hull ‘Sharply Reply on Candidate’s Agri- cultural “Promises.” By the Associated Press, - - ¢ Speeches of Gov. Af M. Lsndon on the Republican sgricultural plans today had.drawn two sharply worded replies from members of the Roose- velt cabinet—Secretaries Wallace and Hull.! il “The farmers’ choice this year is be- {ween promises and action,” declared Secretary of Agriculture Wallace last night in & broadcast for the Demo- cratic National Committee. He said Landon * many things for the farmer,” but “his sen- tences are 30 phrased as to mean little in terms of action.” ' Contending that “ninety-eight out of one hundred big bankers” and “big corporation executives are for Lan- don,” Wallace asserted: “The munition makers, oil men, power magnates, big packers and grain gamblers are the men who always have attacked farm programs and who are now fighting Roosevelt.” The Secretary declared Landgn’s method for distributing certain ‘cash benefits to farmers would foster ex- pansion of crops so Federal funds for payments “might easily. go over a billion dollars & year.” “The plan,” he sald, “could not possibly last through two years of ordinary weather. Some time in the second year the crash would come.” Landon, Wallace said, would “do away with the soil conservation act as soon as the 1936 obligations have been carried out, and, of course, there would be no production control.” Becretary of State Hull, replying to | Landon's denunciation of the reciprocal trade agreements which Hull has been negotiating, declared the Kansas Gov- ernor's speech on the agreements was “After paying lip: service to the principle of foreign trade and tariff reciprocity,” Hull said,. “He declares his support of principles and methods for carrying' out a reciprocal trade program which would render it com- pletely sterile and make it thus a sham and fraud.” Wallace sargued- the Republicans “gre trying to lead the American farmers into the trap of producing in expanding quantities for a foreign market which Republican tariff pol- icies in a large measure destroyed, and which they themselves admit does not exist.” “Gov. Landon is giving us words which sound good in & year of drought,” he added, “but he has/no plan of action which would prevent disaster to the farmer and laboring man alike in case we should have one or two years of good weather.” Says Plan Wouldn't Last. Declaing Landon had promised farmers “enough cash benefits” to assure them “an American price” for that part of crops used in this coun- try, Wallace said this would encour- age expanded crops which might run the Federal payments “over a billion dollars a year.” Such a plan, he said, “could not possibly last through two years of ordinary weather.” “This time the farmers’ fate would be truly appalling, because no polit- ical party would have the nerve to givesthem effective help,” the Secre- tary added. “All political parties would say—°it is political suicide to give real help to farmers. They won't stand by you. All they want is promises.’ ” During the 20s, Wallace sald, the Republicans “used private money, gathered by the international bank- |ers from trusting American in- vestors, to finance the purchase by foreigners of our surplus farm prod- ucts. “Now they propose to give the Nation more of the same kind of thing,” he added. Discussing Landon’s views on other angles of the farm problem, Wallace | argued that: Landon’s “proposed system of Fed- eral farm mortgage receipts is prob- ably unconstitutional in the case of destined to move in interstate com- merce.” .

Douge= lass Welch, reporter for the Post~ Intelligencer, told the National Labor Relations Board yesterday Frank M. Lynch, discharged photographer, en- listed support of trades unions for the American Newspaper Guild strike. The strike, which was called after the Post-Intelligencer refused to rein- state Lynch and Philip Everhardt Armstrong, dismissed dramatic critic, caused indefinite suspension of pub- lication August 13. The guild com- plained to the Labor Board that Arm- strong and Lynch were discharged for guild activity in violation of the Wagner-Connery labor relations act. The Hearst-owned paper contends they were discharged for cause. Says Beck Promised Aid. Welch testified Lynch told him, after his discharge, that Dave Beck, Pacific Coast representative of the In- ternational Brotherhood of Teamsters, “was of a mind” to help him and that “he knew a lot of other labor lead- ers and he would enlist their support for a demonstration, or something like that. In substance he indicated that Beck was more than willing to take his part.” Mrs. Marfan Stixrood, women's edi- tor, testified that Photographer Art French, now on strike, talked about strike plans and told her “they” (the guild members) didn't expect to get away with it unaided, and that he | had a conference with Dave Beck and Mayor Dore, I believe he said, the night before, and everything was set.” Beck, who has filed a $250,000 libel complaint against the Seattle Times | for an editorial seeking to connect | him with the strike and reputed picket line violence August 13 and 14 answered a Post-Intelligencer witness subpoena yesterday, but was indefi- nitely excused. Welch and Mrs. Stixrood werc among the employes who did not joix. the guild walkout. Said He Would Suit. Another non-striker, Mary Scht mann, credit department employe, tes- tified Armstrong told her he woul quit his job within two weeks if th strike resulted in his reinstatemen Welch testified Armstrong interferec with Welch's work by talking to hin about “mass uprising of the workers. “It was kind of interesting the first iwo or three times, but it got to b tiring after awhile,” he said. “He iried to talk to me on an average of two or three hours a week.” Welch testified he was placed under contract last April or May, ior the first time in his experience; that there was no contractual provision against Joining &ny organization. He denied | he had been asked to “pick up hits |of information about the gwld” or | that he reported any such to his superiors. Reporter Robert Bastien Berman: testified about Armstrong’s “burden- some discussions of econom.c views" and said Lynch told him “Dave Beck is the greatest man in the State.” Ber- mann said Lynch added that “Dave wouldn’t let them fire him; that ‘you know how Dave works.’” THE WEATHER District of Columbia—Fair and warmer tonight; tomorrow mostly cloudy and warmer; gentle to moderate southeast and south winds; Monday showers.

Having completed presentation of his farm program to “protect the American market for the American farmer,” in addresses at Des Moines and Minneapolis. Landon turned to consideration of social security as a second major campaign issue. Backs Security Plank. Although o record with a pledge to “amend the social security act and make it workable,” Landon has not yet detailed publicly his views on the prob- lem. He has indorsed the Republican platform which said, in part: “We approve a pay-as-you-go policy which requires of each generation the support of the aged and the determin- ation of what is just and adequate. “Every American citizen over 65 ghould receive the supplementary pay- ment necessary to provide & minimum income sufficient to protect him or her from want.” Pledged Aid to Aged. In his acceptance address, the Kan- San said: “We recognize that society, scting through government, must a; ford as large a measure of protection &s it-can against involuntary unem- ployment and dependency in old age. ‘We pledge that the Federal Govern- ment will do its proper share in that task. & “But it must be kept in mind that the security of all of us depends upon the good management of our com- mon affairs. Mounting debts and in- creasing taxes constitute a threat to all of these aims.” Gov. Landon finished his social security address upon his special train yesterday between eight rear plat- form talks in which he praised Wis- consin’s progressive conservation pol- icies as “an inspiration” to other «Btates and assailed the administra- tion’s farm trade policies as an “eco- ~nomic crime.” B HEART ATTACK FATAL Navy Dept.
