LANDON SILENT ON CORSE 2
Kansas Governor Indicates He’ll Say Little, Hope
for ‘Anti’ Votes.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—Plans for Gov. Landon’s eastern speaking trip later this week, as announced 2t Estes Park. do not appear calculated to give much information as to what he would do if elected. The Governor has been pulled and hauled between two kinds of advice. Some have insisted that he could not hope to be elected without presenting a constructive program of his own, which would win over a share of the moderates who think Mr. Roosevelt has been better on the stump than he has in the White House—who do not want the New Deal scrapped, but who would like to see much of it consolidated and preserved, with the lunatic fringe sloughed off. There is reason to believe that Gov. Landon, until recently at least, agreed with this view. Others have said that all he had to do was to say nothing, offend no one, not be caught with his neck sticking out, and let the people who hate Mr. Roosevelt elect him.
Second Course Seen
It begins to look as if Gov. Landon has adopted the second course, although his speeches at West Middlesex, Chautauqua and Buffalo may prove otherwise. Everything points to this. True, a large number of rear-end train appearances have been scheduled, but those are short stops where the candidate appears beaming on the tail-end of his train, says it’s nice weather you're having here, or I am glad fo see so many bright happy Republican faces here today, and then leans oveg and shakes hands frantically until the train gives a jerk and away he goes. These rear-end appearances, together with the two-day stopovers arranged in connection with the three major speeches, will give the Republican candidate the maximum opportunity to meet voters and shake hands, and it is in this, rather than on the platform, that Gov. Landon is at his best.
Topic Suggests Generalities
Announcements from Estes Park .indicate that Gov. Landon’s original reported intention to discuss at West Middlesex what he would do about amending the Social Security Act has been abandoned and that he will speak on “Americanism.” It is a topic which suggests generalities in which every one believes rather than discussion of specific measures concerning the business of living in America about which there is considerable disagreement. At Chautauqua, Gov. Landon is billed to discuss education and religious freedom. He will, it is expected, declare in favor of both. At Buffalo, the schedule calls for a speech on New Deal spending. If Gov. Landon can think up anything new to say about this it will have to be by saying specifically what spending he would eliminate. Gov. Landon may intend to spring some surprises, but if so his advance publicity has failed to whet anticipation. When Mr. Roosevelt was planning his acceptance speech at Franklin Field, some of his advisers wanted him to make a detailed defense of his Administration, while others favored ‘a general inspirational ad-
Coughlin Organization Seen ~ as Threat to Election of President.
BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent CLEVELAND Aug. 18—Returns from significant political conventions and conferences held so far in this campaign year reveal an enthusiastic and confident anti-Roosevelt movement developing from coast to coast. Some observes belizve that minority repudiations of Mr. Roosevelt in behalf of Candidate William Lemke of the Union Party, greatly increases chances of the election of Gov. Alf M. Landon. The coalition of Democrats, various classifications of Republicans and independents and liberals which elected Mr. Roosevelt in 1932 is disintegrating on the left and right. The most formidable movement of that nature passed in review here last week in the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin’s convention of the National Union for Social Justice.
Campaigns by Radio
He claims 1,600,000 active members and 4,400,000 additional sympathizers, making a mnimum of 6,000,000 prospective anti-Roosevelt voters under his leadership alone. And the priest says if he doesn’t get at least 9,000,000 votes for Mr. Lemke he will give up the radio. He will be on the air again next month
-and each Saturday night thereafter
during the campaign. Without the eloquent priest and his National Union the anti-Roose-velt movement still would be important in campaign-year calculations. With him, it may prove to be the determining factor of the November election. The N. U. 8. J. is a well-organized, responsive, moderately well financed and militantly anti-Roosevelt aggregation of men and women who are willing to wear out shoe leather and ring doorbells in this campaign to turn votes away from the Democratic ticket. A vote for Mr. Lemke almost can be counted as a vote for Gov. Landon in the political situation now prevailing. For every Republican vote enticed to the Lemke column next November there probably will be four which otherwise would have gone for Mr. Roosevelt but for Lemke, Father Coughlin—and Dr. Francis E. Townsend, the leader of the $200-a-month pension plan for the aged. The disorganized, now joorly financed Townsendites claim 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 followers and the more zealous of them will vote against Mr. Roosevelt, possible for Mr. Lemke, next November in protest against congressional investigation of their beloved leader.
dress. Mr. Roosevelt chose the latter on the ground that his record was well known, had been hashed over pro and con and that there Was no use boring his audience with a repetition of what all had heard from all sides for months. Ta: reception which his speech received justified his decision. Gov. Landon, on the other hand, has not yet said what he would do about reciprocal tariffs, social security amendments, neutrality legislation which expires next May, stock market control, holding campany regulation, or where he would cut expenses. Thus far he is offering what looks very much like a
blank check.

Ree develdpment in Indianapolis within the next few years is certain to be on the West Sige; Val B. Mcleay, City Plan Commission . engineer. sald today in a
Reviewing the past achievements of the City Plan Commission, he pointed out that unless the north
.| police protection, as well as service
from utilities, would become expensive if this trend was allowed to continue, he said. Predicting the West Side development, Mr. McLeay said it would come through city planning which would make this section more attractive to real estate development. He pointed out the lack of growth northwest of the city as a bare spot in the city structure.
Only Part of Plan
Making the West Side attractive in the future is only part of the long-term plan being formulated by the City Plan Commission, Mr, McLeay said. Another’ problem, even more acute is routing heavy traffic.through the city, Mr. McLeay said. The ordinance now before the council, proposing to close’ another street to truck traffic coming from the north is one more indication that some plan is needed, he pointed out. Mr. McLeay visualized a four arterial system of wide paved roads, cirzling Indianapolis, allowing heavy through traffic to continue on its way without traveling through the congested central traffic district. , This artery system, he said, would carry traffic south from road 31, around the city and fhence east or west. He suggested widening Keystone-av, building a wide artery on the South Side and developing of through streets for use of trucks and other heavy traffic. Improvement of State-st, a. proj-
istration, would be part of the system, according to Mr. McLeay.
Cites 16th-st Development
City planning, together with its subordinate branch, zoning, determine’ the physical appearance of a city, he said. Citing the W. 16thst development, he pointed out how
-business follows careful city plan-
ning. Well-built storerooms and small shops thrived along the street when it was widened to become the East and West artery. Continued vigilance on zoning keeps the character of the section intact, he said. “Indianapolis is fortunate from the industrial zoning standpoint,” he stated “The Belt railroad, circling the town, makes a natural industrial zone which conserves the residential districts and allows industry to expand and still keep near spur roads which are a necessity.” The railroad, although not planned for the convenience of the zoning ordinance, provided a readymade district for industry which is flexible enough to meet growing demands for many years, Mr. McLeay said.
Lists Major Achievements
Among the major achievements of the plan commission during recent years, Mr. McLeay said, are the W. 16th-st, E. New York-st, 38thst, Kentucky-av, Delaware-st bridge, Fall Creek Parkway, N. West-st and S. Meridian-st developments. Each resulted from plans conceived through his department, the secre-tary-engineer said.
Thorofare Fund is used to finance land acquisition. Working with the City Engineering department, the Works Board and other divisions of the city government, the Plan Commission then pushes its project to completion. The city should grow into a compact circle, Mr. McLeay said. Recently it has been heading for a star or needle-pattern—pointed on the north and east. It is the duty of the plan commission to adjust the demands for growth to the needs of the city. Indianapolis might have become a gangling, elongated “Main Street” if steps had not been taken to halt
extreme north-
t and to-'
this trend, he said. It is ‘rounding out better now.
THIRD PARTY BACKS 130 HOUSE MEMBERS
By United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—More than 100 Democratic and 30 Republican ‘members of the House of Representatives have been put on the Union Party “white list” and will not be opposed in the November election, it was learned today." Districts represented by these congressmen, who voted for the $3,000,000,000 Frazier-Lemke “inflationary” farm morgage refinancing bill, virtually have been designated as ‘no-man’s land” so far as invasion by a third party candidate is concerned. “Conversely, a “black list” also has been prepared by third party leaders. It numbers nearly 240 Democratic and Republican House members who voted against the FrazierLemke bill.
