MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Sept. 25. (UP) Gov. Alf M. Landon carried his attack on the new deal's reciprocal trade policy into Progressivedominated Wisconsin today, on a two day drive to be climaxed Saturday night by an address at Milwaukee on
social security.
Basing his drive for support of the dairy and livestock industry on a demand for “protection of the American market for the American fanner,” the Republican presidential nominee compelled presentation of his farm program in a discussion of trade agreements before a capacity audience of 12.000 persons at the Minneapolis municipal auditorium
last night.
The Republican appeal to agriculture, as presented in the Dos Moines : and Minneapolis speeches, included: 1. An appeal for a free and indej pendent agriculture based on preservation of the family-type farm as opposed to “permanent management from Washington ” continuation of j relief checks for farmers, and a cash | benefit system designed to provide

James A. Farley, Democratic national chairman, acted as the spokes- j man when the party was all over,
and observed:
“We had a general discussion of the entire political situation. The president was immensely pleased by reports from all those present. We discussed his future activities and in a general way he presented his ideas for the conduct of the campaign for
the remaining weeks.”
Those assembled for the powwow included Vice President John N. Garner, Senators Joseph O’Mahoney, Wyoming: Tom Connally, Texas: Joseph Byrnes. South Carolina: seph Guffey, Pennsylvania: Robert F Wagner, New York: Hugo Black.

Also Forbes Morgan, national treasurer; Lawrence W. Robert, secretary; Charles Michelson, publicity director; Carl Bylor, Keith Morgan and Frank Walker of the finance committee, and James W. Gerald. Cabinet officers took a prominent part in the session, three of them in addition to Farley being on hand.
Gov. Landon spoke last night before a cheering crowd to which he was introduced by Rep. Theodore Christianson, as “not a radio crooner, but a budget balancer.” The Kansas governor, grinning broadly and waving his hands above his head, strode onto the big auditorium stage as a roar of cheers and a blare of “Oh Susanna,” rose from the crowd and the brass band in the front of the hall. As he reached the speakers platform there swirldlf down from the high vaulted ceiling a blizzard of yellow “Landon votes” which sifted brilliantly through the flood lights and over the audience.
DIVIDED LANE HIGHWAYS
Announcement by the state highway commission of two divided lane highway projects, one on U. S. 40 in Putnam county, is a forward step for Indiana in road construction. On the basis of comparative cost, the two lane highway seems to represent the Jo- most sensible contribution to safety while increasing the traffic-carrying ability of heavily traveled roads. The U. S. 40 project contemplates two twenty-foot strips of pavement, divided by a parkway. This elim- ; inates the headon collision, cause of so many accidents in which countless innocent victims contribute no part
of the negligence.
It is unfortunate that the widening of U. S. 40 between Terre Haute and the Clay county line did not follow the two lane type of construction. The solid four lane highway is capable of handling increased traffic requirements but it also fails to re-

In fact, motorists refuse to drive entirely in the outside lane and cars passing in the same direction are forced to move into the inside lane of traffic moving in the opposite direction. However, it is fortunate that the original two lane slab was not removed in the Vigo county project which will allow construction of the divided lane road at some future date without destruction of comparatively new concrete.—Terre Haute Star.
Church Plans An Experiment TO PRESENT MOVIE SUNDAY IN VISUAL EDI CATION PROGRAM As an experiment in visual education the First Christian church will present Sunday morning at 9 o’clock at the Voncastle theater, through the courtesy of the theater a cutting from the play “Wednesday’s Child.” Members and friends of the church are invited to attend. The purpose of this film is to present the effects of divorce on the life of a child so that the parents will consider the welfare of their children as a prime factor in desolving marital difficul-
ties.
The show is designed especially for adults and young adults, for the adults discussion groups, the college group and th. older high school young people, and shown without
charge.
Following the showing of the film at 9 o’clock, the adult classes will meet and have for their discussion the Christian home. The sermon for the morning will be given by the minister. Robert T. Beck, on the subject “Building a Christian Home.” Following the morning worship in the sanctuary, the student round table and the youth’s forum will discuss the Christian home as it relates
to youth.
This film is one of a series entitled “Secrets of Success” and the film “Wednesday’s Child” is one of a group which will be shown during the fall and winter, and is sponsored by the church school of which Mrs. E. R. Bartley is the director and
supervisor.
This Sunday marks the first fall meeting of the young married people and parents of young children’s ’ group which meets at 9:20 to discuss i the problems of the modern home. Frank McKeehan is president of this group, Mrs. Ralph Bee is vice-presi-dent and Wilmer Albin, secretary. The intermediate church will
met for its
morning at 9:30 o’clock for the extended period in a new chapel which has been prepared in the church. This intermediate church is under the direction of Mrs. John Suthcrlin and is for young people of the seventh, eighth and ninth grades in
the public school. This group will have their deacons and deaconnesses and will be organized after the pat-
tern of the adult church.
It is urged by those who are in charge to be at the Voncastle theater at 9 o'clock promptly, so that the whole picture may enter into the dis-
cussions that follow.
Federal Checks Due Next Month
T~
CHECKS TO FARMERS WILL AVERAGE LESS THAN $H0 THIS TIME)
\l Gives F. I). \\. His Radio Time
MOVES OCT. I SPEECH TO LATER EVENING HOUR TO AVOID CONFLICT
WASHINGTON. Sept. 25.— AAA officials said today that the flow of federal benefit payments to 6,000,000 farm owners, operators and tenants would begin early in October, but that only about one farmer in twenty or thirty would receive his check before election day, Nov. 3. “We have had many appeals, especially from drought states, to expedite the payments and we are going to do everything we can to see that they are promptly paid,” said H. R. Tolley, the farm administrator. “We hope to be able to get somewhere between 2 and 5 per cent of the total of the payments out next month." Other AAA spokesmen said the total to receive a share of the $470,000.000 to be paid out under the 1936 soil conservation subsidy program would be about 1.000,000 larger than the number who received benefits under the old AAA program. They added that checks this year were expected to average less than $80 a farmer for the country as a whole, compared with an average of $100 under the former program. The amount paid out under three previous farm programs 1933, '34 and '35 was estimated at $1,500,000,000. A preliminary requisite to making claims for benefits under the 1936 program was a work sheet for each farm. These were filed earlier this
NEW YORK, Sept. 25, (UP) Alfred E. Smith, opponent of the new deal, last night rearranged the time of a radio speech he will make here Oct. 1 so he would not be on the air at the same time that President Roosevelt is speaking from Pitts-
burgh.
In a telegram to the president. Smith said he took that action “in deference to the high office of president which you hold.” It was almost the only friendly gesture that has passed between the two men, who once were close poitical and personal friends, since Smith broke with the new deal. The announcement was made at Smith’s office in the Empire State building. He was not present. His assistants made public this telegram: “Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt, “The White House “Washington. D. C. “On Sept. 11 negotiations were opened with the National Broadcast ing Company for an hour’s radio time to be used ty me between 9 and 10 p. m„ when I am to speak at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Shortly thereafter the time was definitely reserved over the blue netwoi k of the National Broadcasting Company. “Since then announcement has been made of your intention to make a political speech at Pittsburgh Oct. 1 bet ween 9 and 9:30 o'clock (Eastern Standard Time). Subsequent to the announcement of my speech, the Democratic national committee, I am Informed, has engaged all radio time on the Columbia and National broadcasting systems except that reserve I

To Consider And KccommcirJ A 1937 Agricultural Program At Scheduled Sessions Township or community meetings at which all farmers of Putnam county will consider and make recommendations for a 1937 agricultural conservation program will be held throughout the county during the next week. Twelve meetings have been planned, the first ones coming Monday, Sept. 28, at Fillmore md Russellville. Announcement of the schedule for the meetings was made Thursday by County Agricultural Agent Guy T. Harris, following a meeting of tho county committee with the county agent at headquarters in the court house. Questions about the 1936 progiam also will be answered at each meeting. These township meetings will be the first step to be taken by farmers in a general cooperative plan to formulate a 1937 Soil conservation program. The community meclinges and the recommendations coining troin them will be the basis for a county meeting early next month at which suggestions will be summarized and sent to the state committee for general state recc mendations to be presented to Hie U. S. Department of Agriculture to serve as the basis for the 1937 program. Changes to be made in the basis of payment in 1937; changes that may be made in crop classifications to be used next year, and if not, what changes should be made; what soil building practices for which payment was made this year should be retained for next year, and if sucli allowances were established, how should it he earned, and is it necessary to have a more comprehensive crop insurance program thah that provided by the Agricultural Conservation and Commodity Loan programs, are among those questions which will be considered and discussed at these meetings.
