RepubHcans Are StiH
 m Middle Of Road
Only G. o. P. Governor Defeating Democrat in l932= 34 Expresses Personal Views on Political Sit=
 uatiOn-NOt Interested in Presidency Now
By LYLE c. WILSON

Washington, Nov 16.-UP)-I telephoned today to the only re- publican governor who was able to defeat democrat in 1882 and again in 1884 and asked him:
 Where is the republican party going, radical or conservative?"
 Governor Ali M. Landon in Topeka, Kansas, replied:
 Sort of middle-o the-road."
 Landon was reelected last week in a polling that left Kansas a re- publican island in the farm belt. California, North Dakota, and Michigan are the nearest republi- can states.
 q would not say ultra-radical nor a-conservative," he con- tinued. with changed economic and social conditions both parties are in a state of flux."
 "How did you win in Kansas last week when the rest of the farm belt was going democratic?"
 "where are you?" Landon want ed to know.
 "Well, you make it rather a per- sonal question. But I attribute re- publican success in Kansas partly to party unity out here"
 Others report in Washington that Landon has personal politi- cal following that cannot be beaten.
 There is speculation about your liability for republican presi- dential nomination in 1936."
 T have heard of that" Landon replied.
 What do you think of it?"
 'I am not thinking of anything except the job in front of me-" he said.
 'Is the republican party dead?"
 NO. There is able leadership and a solid foundation in hundreds of courthouses in the great states north of the Mason Dixon line to enable the republican party to pre- sent constructive program"
 ""You have referred to republi. can plans and issues, what are them?"
 T don't think anybody can say at this time" the governor replied. There is as much difference within the democratic party now as in the republican party"
 Landon and. Senator Arthur H.. Vandenberg, R., Mich, whose re- election also put him in the fore front of republican presidential possibilities, soft pedalled anti-Dew Deal criticism in their campaigns. So Landon was asked:
 "Are you adopting any New Deal policies in Kansas?" IHe
 "Yes. We pledged in our plat form out here to cooperate with the administration in working out social legislation which is to be submitted to congress on old age pensions and unemployment insur- ance."

EXCHANGE BOARD
 COMMENCES RAIDS
Tim Callahan, Old Yale Grid Star, Leads One
 in Boston

Boston, Nov 16-(UP)-Em- ployes of Perrin W. Young X Co.,, were questioned today relative to tic activities of that Boston secu- rities firm, closed last night in raid authorized by Chairman Jo- seph P. Kennedy of the National Securities and Exchange commls- sion.
 Only few hours before the raid, Kennedy, addressing Boston chamber of commerce luncheon, had warned that his office. was about to "crack down" on bucket shops throughout the country In a determined drive to curb the sale or fradulent securities.
 Several salesmen were about to leave the firms office on Federal street when a squad of U. $. deputy marshals, headed by Attorney John (Tim) Callahan of New Iorkt counsel to the commission and one- time Yale football captain, ap- ueared, It was the first raid in Roston under the new securities act. The salesmen were herded in- 10 room and served with subpoe- mas. Two were questioned at once and the others were intedviewed today.
 Callahan charged that while Young was the nominal head Of the firm, he merely represented Frank B. Sheldon, former partner in the Newark, N. J., firm of Carleton Saunders & company. That com pany, Callahan said, was enjoined from doing business by the com- 1,s fGct 0u Cantnn1bPr 2.
 Opened only last month, the Boston offices had dealt exclusive iy in General Electric common, d sound investment, Callahan said, but literature broadcast by the firm indicated that the sale of mining stocks was contemplated.
 The company charged no com mission, Callahan said, yet had to pay commissions to brokers for the pixpchase of stocks dealt in. It had made no jrofit and its ex- penses had exceeded $10,0O0, ac- cording to Martin D. Lester, book keeper.
 Recording to Callahan, the firm employed seven h-pressure' salesmen, two bookkeepers. a switchboard operator, two statisti- clans, and 10 girl mailing clerke.

' Waterbury
 Produce Market
Furnished by Connecticut Department of Agriculture, B. P. Storrs, local agent)

These appears to pea teInpordry Hull in the appeal market price trend at present. Previous to the last week or so there has been 2 more or less constant. gradual, firmer and higher development in progress. Now there is lull in this trend according to the reports of several traders.
 This is believed to be partly due to imports of apples from other states, largely from the group of states in the vicinity of Virginia and Maryland. It is also probably due in part to the fact that apple price levels have advanced to point where consumption has de- creased materially.
 As yet, however, owners of good native apples, in good condition, and held in fairly good storages are not showing great concern or an inclination to force sales at present by means of lower prices. The opinion evidently is held by the majority of these owners of high grade apples of the popular native varieties that the small 1884 crop is going to find satisfactory outlet before the winter is over re- gardless of slowing up in the movement.
 Offerings of native Delicious have become more prominent To- cally the past week or so. Most Of these are of good No. fancy grade and sell for $2.00 to $2.25 a bushel. Mcintosh now on sale are usually held for $2.25 to $2.50 a bushel, a few better than average for $2.15. Ealdwins continue to make up a small part of the total supply and are mostly of fair Mo-. 1 or utility grade and selling for $1.50 to $1.75 a bushel. Greetings continue to make up a fair share of the supply from nearby and sell mostly for $1.25 to $1.50, few $1.75 a bushel
 (Unless otherwise stated quota tions are based on sales of good merchantable products to retailers by nearby growers or others.)

MEAT SHORTAGE

Increase in Prices Uniusti- fled - Strike Leaders
 Stil Confident

Boston, Nov. 16-(UP) Despite the butchers strike, the meat sup. ply in Boston is ample and ir- creases in retail prices are unjusti- fled, according to State Comfnis- sioner Ralph w, Robart of the d. vision of the necessaries of life.
 Nearly 40 carloads of meat ar. rived here yesterday, and it was pointed out that large stores, restaurants and hotels do their own cutting. thus escaping effects of the strike.
 Robart said that daily arrivals were a third less than a year ago, but that meat consumption had fallen off since the rise in retail prices.
 It was believed that ssmall job bers and retailers would be the only ones seriously affected if the situation becomes worse. The U. s. agriculture department reported that only a few cutting rooms had closed, with others working with skeleton forces. The meat supply is fairly liberal. the department reported.
 Other highlights of the strike were the arrival here of Federal Conciliator P. w.. Chappell. and filing by counsel for the Chamber lain Packing company of a peti- tion seeking to ehjoin the union from interfering with employees of the plant.
 strikers demand union recog- hilton, a 20 per cent wage increase and a 40-lfour week.
 John ]. Walsh, Chicago, vice. president of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butchers Union. re- fused an offer of the state board on conciliation and arbitration to intervene on the ground that the strike was national in scope.
 He estimated that 800 workers already were out and confidently predicted the strike would be 100 per cent effective by noon today.
