WEDNESDAY, OCT. 20, 1987 WIND GETS IN THEIR HAIR

LANDON OPENS 6. 0.P. ATTACK ON ROOSEVELT

Congressmen Split on Party

Lines in Reaction to Radio Address.

has lagged in America during the last four and one-half years,” Mr.

Mh Im a

Landon said, “is the failure of the | President of the United States to |

follow our Constitutional of Government and his failure as an administrator.’

Refers to Black He shot his hottest fire at the Senate's failure to inquire into the fitness of Hugo L. Black to become an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, Mr. Landon’s address seemed to advise anti-New Deal legislators to make their first challenge in the forthcoming session on the issue of American neutrality. He charged that Mr. Roosevelt had nullified the principle of neutrality by failure to utilize the powers granted by Congress and by his “quarantine” address delivered this month at Chicago. The former Governor charged that Mr. Roosevelt was a changed man since 1932, a power-thirsty Caesar with neither the temperament nor ability to administer government He ridiculed Mr. Roosevelt's frequent, travels and “impulsive quar-

terbacking” and depicted him during |

labor violence last spring as “shrugging” his shoulders and going off on ‘another vacation.”

Those personal pot shots at Mr. |

Roosevelt revealed new armament in the Landon gun room. They will be the signal to all hesitant antiNew Dealers that the Republican high command is convinced now that Mr. Roosevelt no longer is the invincible warrior which the elections of 1932-34-36 indicated him to be. There is evidence thought among many influential Democrats. Democratic Senators dared this year to deny Mr. Roosevelt power to expand membership of the Supreme Court. There is grumbling in the New Deal camp. The stock market is in a hazardous tailspin. Business activity has fallen below Treasury expectations and tax revenue has slumped so sharply that all talk of a layman's budget this year has been abandoned by Mr. Roosevelt, As soon as Mr. Landon concluded, Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, former administrator of the NRA, by radio from Washington, said that Landon’'s address

Johnson said, adding that Mr. Landon and former President Hoover were part of the “Old Guard” handicap preventing the Republican Parly from becoming the “party of the middle way.”

Pritchard Praises Speech; ‘Taylor Has No Comment

nominee, because he had not heard |

[or read it, James E. Watson, former | Republican U. S. Senator from IndiYans, attacked the proposal for a ['G. O. P. convention in 1938 in a [statement released today. Other Republican leaders [some comments, Mr, Watson's statement follows: “I agree heartily with Senator | Borah in his opposition to general meeting of party represent[atives next spring, because the | Presidential election is not sched'uled to be held until 1940 and the congressional elections next yeer | may not depend so much on a general announcement of policy as on particular issues in the several

Cleveland Plain Dealer-—-In the main, the Landon speech is a temperate and well-reasoned appeal for a more effective minority opposition. . + » The weakness of the new Landon thesis, like the weakness of his plea last fall, lies in the fact that while opposing in toto the Roosevelt methods, he is vague when it comes to the practical issue of suggesting better ways. An effective opposition must do more than merely denounce,

Boston Globe (Irnd.)—This whole address sought to bring about a revival of opposition party activities, to submit a viewpoint, and to indicate possible tactics. If followed, its tenets would take the G. O. P. toward a position which might properly be described as moderate rather than ultra-conservative.

Kansas City Journal Post—Alf M, Landon's radio address was a rehash of his 1936 campaign speeches, brought up to date with censure of what the President has done since Mr. Landon had occasion to talk about him last. . , . But how would [he end the confusion? Mr. Landon

The President's “back home” calling list featured a luncheon talk with Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau “Jr. and Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.
