LANDON ATTACKED BY McNUTT. Susceptible to InfluenCes of Stromger . Min"s, says the Hoosier _ Governor. 1 Governor Alf M. Landon, republi‘can presidential nominee, was attacked as “an individual particularly susceptible to the influences of stronger minds and more ruthless wills,” by Gov. Paul V. MeNutt in a radio address Tuesday night:

The Indiana executive branded the endorsement given the republican candidate -by William Randolpa Herast, publisher, as *“the kiss of death.” :

“I suppose it is too much to hope that Governor ‘Landon wil! improve the opportunity affordeq by his speech of acceptance to be delivered tonight disclaiming responsibilty for this _poisonous support,’” McNuit said. ; adali f‘Neither the Republican national committee nor the individuals whe are doing Governor Landon’s talking at present are in ignorance of the implications of the Hearst support,” he said, “but as yet there has been expressed to disclaimer of any sort of this republican allegiance.” . MNutt declared Hearst wag ‘“one

vf the principal issues, and what might be the “paramount issue” of the 1936 campaign. He saiq he not only wanted to out-

line the general fundamental issues of the campaign butt bhat he also wanted to point out ‘“some of the sinister forces at work to hamper and destroy the accompl!ishments cf President’s Roosevelt’s administration on behalf of the whole people.” “And now the opposition, Socialists, Communists, ¥Fascists, Reactionary Republicans, and that last infirmity of political minds, the Lberty League, taken together, an unholy challenge of Bourbons and Bolsheviki, would crucify him,” McNutt said. :

The nation’s workers, said to nul ber 30,00,000, are to be given count number to be retained fog life, under plans as announced at ¥ 8l (ing by thesocial security board. The "projegt, is the largest registration and identification plan in the country’s history. : The procedure jg designated to bring all the eligible workers into the old-age retirement system provided for the social security plam, Each worker upon being registered will be given an emblem, bearing his or her serial number, to serve as an identification tag and a record of the worker’s account number in the security board’s records. . “The object of this number,” the boarl gaid, “is the prevention or errors which might occur through the exact duplication of names, since there are many persons of the same name.” 1

Thus, it pointed out, John Smith may wander over the country wumworried by all the other Joha Smiths 80 far ag his retirement henefits are concerned gince his number emblem will set him apart in the files of the board. Fa

The prebliminary procedure, schedfled for, November, is only a matter. of identification of individuals. 'The bgard said it has no connection ‘with the taxes to be paid by employers or employees snd ig not designed for tax purposes. Payment of annpuities under the gystem will not begin until 1942, but calculations of the board point to payment of 300,000 lump sum death benefits as early as next year.

MR State H i ment 3 ‘r_- % ;_‘l Bids for materials to be used for the- instaliation —of ~flasher MEhL. signals at 161 highway-raliroad intersections were opened ‘Tusday, James D. Adamg of the state high< way commission said. This i the second group of highway-railroad intersections, se-’ lected by the tSate Highway Commission .in cooperation with the railroads, for the Installation of flasher light signals. i A

Fifty corssings were ncluded In the first program which now is sixs ty per cent completed, Adams said.

It is estimated the cost of materials -on which bids will be opened will be slightly more than. $210.000 or approximately $l,OOO per crossing. ‘ X The cost of materiale and the labor of installation will be paid from federal funds allocated to Indiana for this purpose. . ot

The {installation, of flasher light signals at highway-railroad imtersections supplements the State Highway Commission’s , program of g structing grade separations. Signals are being installed at intersections where grade separativns are not fesible or practical due to local conditiony and comparatively light traffic.

) It is estimted that the totul cost ‘ot increased protection for motorists at the 161 Intersections where the signals are to be erected will equal the cost of construction of about seven grade geparations.
