Nominee En Route to Scene of Tuesday's Major Address on Coast. 87 the Assoclated Press. ABOARD LANDON TRAIN EN | ROUTE TO CALIFORNIA, October 19.—A call for President Roosevelt to say whether he intends “to perpetuate the N. R. A. willy-nilly” was voiced to- day by Gov. Alf M. Landon as the Republican _ presidential headed West for a major address Tues- day at Los Angeles. In a formal statement commenting bn a speech last week by James Roose- velt, the President’s son, Gov. Landon said, “This much is clear, that young Roosevelt understands the President still to intend to make N. R. A. prin- ciples live and operate in our Gov- ernment by one device or another.” The statement was made public as Landon crossed the foothills of the Rockies en route to Albuguerque, N. Mex., for a short speech (at 3:30 p.m., . Mountain standard time), the first during a strenuous two weeks of cam- paigning that will take him twice the distance across the continent. Silence Held “Confession.” “The President,” Landon said, “must specifically deny that his son’s views are his views. Otherwise, the silence of the father will be the confession that the son spoke for the President when he gave us to understand that his father intended to perpetuate the N. R. A. willy-nilly.” Landon's statement said: “There are two versions of what young Roose- velt said (at Gardner, Mass). One taken down in shorthand, according to the press, at the time the state- ment was made, and the other given out by the speaker himself the next day and then changed by him some two hours later. “As to the actual intentions of the President regarding the N. R. A, the two statements are in essénce iden- “Mr. James Roosevelt's own ac-, count of what he said as quoted in the press is as follows: ““These are the purposes of the N. R. A, The administration is pledged to attempt to- carry out the purposes of the N. R. A. in every con- stitutional manner. Should there be no way in which this can be ac- complished, which we do not admit, I as an individual see no alterna- tive but to ask the people for the right to make those purposes consti- tutional through the Congress of the United States.”” Sees Conclusion Clear. Landon stated the conclusion to be reached in the matter was clear *without attempting to unravel Mr. James Roosevelt’s constitutional theories as expressed in the last sentences of his statement (they have & certain New Deal smack about Shen)i- & $ ey The Governor bade his family good-by at the station in Topeka last night and spoke briefly to a crowd gathered about the rear plat- form of his car. Mrs. Roosevelt, who accompanied her husband on his campaign trip, did not return to Washington with him today, but will await his return to Hyde Park the latter part of the week. When President Roosevelt leaves Washington on his New England stumping expedition he will stop first at Providence, R. 1., Wednesday morn- ing. He will be met there by Gov. Green, who will ride with the Presi- dent in an open automobile from the station to the State capitol, where Mr. Roosevelt will speak. From there the President will motor to Fall River, Mass,, from there to New Bedford, Conn., and then to Fairhaven. To Lunch With Relatives. At the latter place the President will lunch with relatives at the old home of the Delano family, of which he is a member on his mother’s side. It is expected there will be quite a gathering of Delanos on this occasion, ineluding his mother, Mrs. Sara De- lano Roosevelt, and his mother's brother, Frederic A. Delano, who makes his home in Washington, and who is chairman of the Park and Planning Commission. On Thursday morning the President will receive a group of Connecticut State officials to discuss flood-control plans, after which he will make an sutomobile inspection trip of places (See LANDON, Page A-3.)

NEW YORK, October 19.—Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, whose “debate” with the recorded voice of President Roosevelt was cut off the air by the Columbia Broadcasting System Satur- day night, said today the incident “is closed so far as I am concerned.” This statement was made in‘a tele- gram to George Henry Payne of the Federal Communications Commission, to whom the Michigan Senator sald: “The complaint that some one might have thought Mr. Roosevelt was parti- cipating in the broadcast in person is ludicrous. ‘The announcement was clear and specific that he was not spread rapidly.

TOPEKA, Kans., October 19.—De- spite Democratic efforts and Demo- cratic spending, Kansas seems safely in the bag for Gov. Landon. The New Dealers are leaving no stone unturned to snatch from him the Republican presidential candi- date's own home State. Kansas' nine electoral votes would be a sugar- coated plum for Roosevelt. The New Dealers not only have sent President Roosevelt across the State, but they are sending here many speakers from outside the State. Three Democratic Senators, Connally of Texas, Wheeler of Montana and Truman of Missouri, are all due to campaign for Roosevelt in Kansas during this week. The New Dealers are counting strongly on the relief vote, on the labor vote and on the support of the wheat farmers who have received Government checks, and who in all probability will receive a new supply of checks before election. growing out of their compliance with the soil conservation program of the A.

Whitney, here to address the first Illinois joint State meeting of the brotherhood of railroad trainmen and its ladies' auxiliary, said in an inter- view: “It's a disgrace, in a country such | as ours, with its abundance and plenty, to find men unemployed.” Asserting that industry would be slow to adopt the shorter work day unless pressure were applied, Whitney said that “We shall undertake to bring such pressur to bear.” ‘With shorter hours, he said, “wages must be increased from time to time to insure balanced purchasing power.” AT Five Killed in German Storm.

Infantry and motorized troops have advanced under protection of air bombing squads. Important cities have been taken and railroad lincs have been cut. Besieged Socialists in the capital have planned their defense, willing to stake every- thing on the Battle of Madrid, which, it is believed, will decide whether the fascism of the rebels. will win in Spein or whether it will continue to de governed dy the present Soctalist-Communist regime.

BT the Assoclated Press. CLEVELAND, October 19.—The cold, treacherous waters of Lake Erie | today held the bodies of 18 men and | one woman, victims of a 50-mile gale | which overturned and sunk the 252- foot Canadian sandsucker, Sand Mer- | chant, in the second major disaster of the 1936 Great Lakes season. | Of 26 aboard, only 7 remained| today to tell how a majority of thzir; benumbed companions dropped off, | one by one, from the two capsized lifeboats to which they clung through a terrifying night of waiting. For 10 | hours they watched unseeing ships pass them. Then daylight brought their rescue 5 miles off Cleveland. One of the seven rescued Was Graham MacClelland, 39-year-old captain of the gale-stricken ship. An-| other was Herman Dault, crane op- erator, who lost two brothers—the second just 30 minutes before the rescue yesterday morning. “It was the most terrible night that you c¢ould possibly imagine” said Capt. MacClelland, his eyes bloodshot, his face haggard. Overturned “Like a Flash.” “I owe my life to Dault and (John L.) Ideson, the three of us left of the seven hanging to our lifeboat.

The REVIEWS REFUSED BY HIGH TRIBUNAL | Three Suits Attacking Valid- ity of New Deal Laws Rejected. BY JOHN H. CLINE. The Supreme Court today refused to review three suits attacking the validity of New Deal legislation. Two of these actions were filed by the Texas Utilities Co. and the Ala- bama Power Co. to restrain the use of P. W. A. funds to enable munici- palities to construct their own elec- tric systems. The third suit was filed by J. Ed- ward Jones, New York securities dealer, who claimed his litigation in- volved the constitutionality of the securities act of 1933. The Govern- ment replied that the constitutionality of the act was not involved. In the power cases, the companies lost in the District Court here and appealed directly to the Supreme Court instead of first carrying their case to the Court of Appeals for the | District. In asking the high tribunal not to grant the request for a review, | the Government argued that the fail- | ure of the plaintiffs to go through the | Court of Appeals made it meoasible\ to bring up a record suitable for| Supreme Court action. Will Pass on Similar Suit. The refusal to grant the review was not considered of ‘particular signifi- cance, since the high court already has agreed to pass on a similar suit filed by the Duke Power Co. The Texas and Alabama companies asked that they be permitted to skip the Court of Appeals so their contro- versy might be argued with the Duke case. Involved in the Texas and Alabama cases are proposed loans and grants (See COURT, Page A-2) GUAM GREETS CLIPPER Ship on Preliminary Passenger Trip Arrives From Wake Island.

STATUTE PASSED IN 1915 DECLARED MANDATORY Board Perplexed by Order Apply- ing to Children of Non-Resi- | dents Employed Here. | Justice Jennings Bailey of District Court held today that school officials may not exclude from schools of the Capital children of nearby Maryland and Virginia parents employed in the District. With the concurrence of the Board of Education, the superintendent of schools, Prank W. Ballou, this year had laid down rules excluding pupils from nearby communities. The rea- son given was acute overcrowding, particularly in the junior high schools. Justice Bailey’s decision was made in the case of John 8. Kemp, Works Progress Administration official, who asked that Dr. Ballou bs compelled to admit his 11-year-old daughter, Lois, to Gordon Junior High School. The Kemps live in Clarendon, Va. ee ee Case to Be Appealed. At the request of Assistant Corpora- tion Counsel Vernon West, Justice | Bailey deferred issuing the requested writ of mandamus giving West five days in which to file an amended answer to the suit. West served notice on the judge that he would appeal from his ruling, and said he wanted to amend his answer merely to amyplify the record, which he will take to the Court of Appeals. He added that he did not think anything he would state in the amended answer would change the decision of the court. 2,300 Non-residents Enrolled. With every junior and senior high school in the city already accommo- | dating more than their capacity num- ber of pupils, school officials were in a quandary to find means of taking care of approximately 2,300 non-resi= dent pupils who were enrolled last year. Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of schools, frankly said that he didn't know what to do. “We are terribly overcrowded now,” he said; “I gon't know what we’ll do. Our schools are taxed far beyond cae pacity.” Declared Matter of Appropriations. Mrs, Marion Wade Doyle, president of the Board of Education, was both philosophical and critical about the results of the decision. “We will just have to make the best of the situation.” she said. “Ths problem of looking out for our chile dren will be a matter of appropriae tions. It is up to the Bureau of the Budget and Congress. Our greatest single worry will be the size of our classes. Our teachers necessarily will have more pupils, and consequently our pupils will have less individual attention. “The lorg years when we haven't had enough money for our District children because of niggardly appro= priations will be brought to the ate tention of those persons responsible because of the acuteness of the prob- lem bréught about by this court order.” Henry Gilligan, vice president of the board, expressed regret at the congestion which will result in the schools, but as - lawyer agreed that the court’s decision was correct. After Justice Bailey announced his ruling, which was made without even calling on.Kemp's attorney, Robert E. Lynch, for argument, the question arose whether Lois might attend school after the writ of mandamus was issued, but before the appeal is disposed of. West pointed out, how= ever, that the appeal would have the effect of temporarily suspending the writ. Lynch objected to West's first ree quest for delay, which was for 10 days, and Justice Bailey gave the District (See SCHOOLS, Page A-3), PR CHINA AND JAPAN AGAIN NEGOTIATE But Pessimism Marks Talks on Shootings—Progress Held Small. BY the Assoclated Press. NANKING, China, October 19.— Under a cloud of pessimism, Gen. Chang Chun, the Chinese foreign minister, and Shigeru Kowagoe, the Japanese Ambassador, resumed cone versations today in an effort to ree adjust relations between the two nations. Negotiations have been deadlocked since the last of a series of antie Japanese incidents on the mainland, the killing of a Japanese marine and the wounding of twe others at Shange hai September 3. Neither negotiator made any statee ment after the talk, indicating, ob- servers believed, that little’ progress was achieved. Meanwhile, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek returned from Hangchow, and while the dictator was not exe pected to participate in the convere ations, his presence was expected to expedite them. The most dangerous Sino-Japanese tension at present appeared to be on the Sulyuan-Chabar border, where large bodies of irregulars, composed of Chinese and Mongolians, who some sources alleged were armed by Japan, have repeatedly threatened to invade Suiyuan.
