LANDON FORCES FROWN ON ‘BIG BUSINESS' HELP Private Support Welcomed, but Wall-St Label Is Causing Worry. By Brripps-Howard b’ewspapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, April 3. Gov. Alf M. Landon’s handlers are expected henceforth to shoo off big business leaders and Wall Streeters from public indorsement of his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination. They welcome such support privately, but they are getting worried about the Wall Street label which Is being pinned on the Kansas Governor. Here is the vulnerable heel of the farm belt Achilles, as demonstrated by the darts being hurled by Senator Borah and other foes of the Kansan’s nomination. Accordingly, word is being passed along by the strategists to keep what are called “the fat boys” quiet. Some of the latter have already been advised to keep their preference for the Kansan locked within their hearts—if they really would like to see him nominated. Personality Fight Feared This advice comes from some who are less interested in the identity of the candidate than in preventing a bitter fight over personalities at Cleveland. Gov. Landon admittedly is far out in front now for the nomination. The snowball growth of his candidacy suggests the possibility of a virtual agreement on him ahead of time, such as put over Herbert Hoover in 1928. Reports to Republican leaders here indicate that he is even stronger than is generally realized. A shift toward him soon by key leaders who previously have been only lukewarm would not be surprising. Effective work is being done for Gov. Landon in the East by John Hamilton, who recently gave up his past here with Republican National Headquarters to become a liaison between the Governor and eastern leaders. Expect Primary Test Mr. Hamilton, among other things, will see to it that the big business and financial leaders who like the Governor as a candidate do not spoil his chances by putting Landon cards in their show windows. Aside from discouraging open endorsements by the "fat boys,” another change in Landon strategy Is indicated in the apparent intention to enter the Kansan openly in the May 19 presidential primary in New Jersey against Senator Borah, who filed formally Wednesday. This will be the first primary which the Governor has entered. It will afford a test between him and the Idaho Senator, who has been issuing challenges for just such a contest. It must be conceded that Gov. Landon has picked what might be called a “soft spot,” since the organization leaders already have come out for him and Jersey Republicans seem generally to belong to the conservative school. Thus Gov. Landon will meet, at least in this one instance, the charge that he is shying away from a test by ballot and is depending entirely upon lining up organization leaders. WHY STUDY? REPORTER AT DE PAUW WONDERS Survey Shows “Loafers” Make Better Grades. Times Special GREENCASTLE, Ind., April 3. A reporter for the De Pauw University school newspaper has about decided that students who spend time in campus “hangouts” make better grades than those who are found in the school library. James Gregory, Williamsport, conducted a survey of the grade situation.

Only one campus haunt was below the library average; it had a 1.436 mark.
