Stokes Points Out Liaison . of Kansan With Foe of New Deal Reforms.
- BY THOMAS L. STOKES i Times Special Writer ~ TOPEKA, Kas, July 28.—Gov. Alf M. Landon’s maintenance of a : liaison with powerful New York financial interests, through the Chase National Bank, is an interesting aspect of the presidential
campaign. ~The Maison is through Benjamin 'M. Andersén, economist of Chase National, who visited Gov. Landon > his nomination and has just returned to talk with the candidate. Lo The relation is interesting and - may become very significant, because of the views of Winthrop W, Aldrich, president of Chase Na- ~ tional and son-in-law of John D. ‘ Rackefeller, on current problems, particularly social security, and his critical attitude toward numerous New Deal reforms, including the Utility Holding Company Act, the 1935 banking act, some phases of ...the “stock market and truth-in-se-ty curities laws, and the Roosevelt -monétary policy. “Mr, Aldrich long his been an ad‘vocate of removing restrictions on
Lo Gov, ‘Landon seemed to be echoing a similar view in his acceptance - speech when he declared that “the ; «ime has come to unshackle initia- . tive and free the spirit of American - enterprise,” and that “we must be freed from incessant governmental intimidation and hostility.” ~ The Governor is expected to tell . later in more specific terms how he would achieve this objective. , Of more immediate interest is the problem of social security. Certainly _ destined to be an issue in the campaign, .the Republican candidate “barely touched on this subject in his acceptance address. ~ Mr. Anderson has become an expert. on this subject. He gathered ~ Inaterial and collaborated in the ex- ~ haustive speech which Mr. Aldrich ! om” some days ago at the University of Virginia's Institute of Public Affairs. * “Urged Revision
zt ‘mI that address Mr. Aldrich recommended that the Social Security . Act of 1935 be revised to abolish contributory old-age pensions and _ that Federal aid bz extended only to the needy aged as provided in .. part_of the New D=al program. Further he advocated that unemployment insurance be handled en- . tirely by the states and that the _ cost be divided equally between employer and employe, instead of the . whole 3 per cent tax being im- | posed on the employer.

Vender Near White House Supports President.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER Special Writer
WASHIN N, July 28.—The political situation is more confused than ever n A repo for the Washington Daily News was ‘desperate for copy.
Every one is out of town and the local press annual feature about the egg being fried on a downtown pavement. So the desperate reporter walked wap to Steve Vasilakos, who runs the peanut wagon at the northeast corner of the White House grounds. and asked about President Roosevelt. Steve said Mr. Roqosevelt ought to be re-elected. Just like that. It was a business man had declared for Roosevelt. But that isn’t all of the story by any means. Steve is a-.person-of some importance in Washington, If you don’t\ think so, just try to set up your own peanut stand along
the White House curb where Steve has done ‘business, man d boy, for some 30 years.
Has Private Monopoly
Steve operates a private monopoly right under the shade of the White House trees. | Not only that, his monopoly is personally protected ‘by President Roosevelt. Despite all the President has said about restoring free competition and crushing monopoly, he not only permits this to go on, right under his eyes, but once he intervened to stay poljce who were about te throw Steve off of the White House curb on the ground that he was obstructing traffic. Now Steve openly advocates the re-election of | the President, undoubtedly thus becoming the only private monopolist in the United States who doesn’t hate Roosevelt. Efforts which private utilities interests are said to have made to prevent the renomination in Texas of Reps. Sam Rayburn and Maury Maverick in retaliation for advocacy of holding company legislation proved fruitless. "Both have been easily .renominated, which means they. will be back next winter feeling more hard-boiled tham ever.
Hot Spot for Landon
Now it will be interesting to see what happens when Gov. Landon gets on the hot spot that has been warming up for him. He decided to make his first campaign tour ad-

Landon will be under considerable pressure to throw something into his speech which will lay a banana peel in Mr. Driscoll’s path. This Pennsylvania speech, scheduled for next month, will be a sore trial for the Republican presidential candidate. He will be speaking near ‘the scene of labor's titanic struggle with the steel industry. Furthermore, the Pennsylvania Republican organization now is under the control of the two Liberty League .industrialists, Joseph Pew (oil) and E. T. Weir (steel). A little progressivism goes a long way with Pennsylvania ‘Republicans.
POLITICAL ACTIVITY COSTS 60 WPA JOBS
Officials Dismissed for Soliciting Votes, Collecting Funds, By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, July 28—Political activity has cost 60 WPA officials their jobs in the last year, records in the office of ‘Administrator Harry L.

They can do what they like in casting their ballots. But he has
