BY Staff Correspondent Of The Star.
ARLINGTON, Va, September 27.-
One man was smothered to death
under 25 tons of dirt today when a
landslide occurred while he was in
stalling a sewer system in a new sub
division at Columbia Pike and South
Queen street.
A fellow worker, Eddie Macs, COL
ored, of Alexandria, was able to climb
to safety when he saw the avalanche
descending. At Alexandria Hospital
the extent of his injuries was unde-
termined.
The dead man was identified only
as Tony" the timekeeper on the
job not knowing his full name. A
big steam shovel worked frantically
for more than 80 minutes in an effort
to extricate the entombed man, but at
noon the body had not been recov-
cred and all hope Of finding him still
alive was abandoned.

THOUSANDS HEAR
APPEAL OF POPE
Eucharistic Congress Ends
With Stirring Peace
Demonstration.
BY the Associated Press

Ds tiio hSSpSIdtcu EIcSes
CLEVELAND, September 27.-Thou-
sands of men and women streamed
out of Cleveland today with a plea
for peace by Pope Plus XI still ring
ing in their ears and picture of a
stirring religious spectacle bright In
their memories.
Late yesterday as the seventh ma
tional Eucharistic Congress drew to a
close. they were part of what prob
ably was the greatest crowd ever to
assemble in downtown Cleveland.
A congregation Of 10000 men,
women and children poured into the
massive Cleveland Stadium to hear
the Pope's benediction. Outside the
stadium and on streets leading down
to the shore of Lake Erie where it
stands were 250.o00 more.
250,000 Attendance.
Police Inspector Martin ]. Horrigan
estimated the number at 250.000 He
toured the district and saw spectators
lined solidly at the curb. sitting on
window ledges, roofs and cornices
There were others on monuments and
telegraph poles. They had gathered
to watch the procession to the stadium
They saw a white silk canopy en-
broidered with gold carried out Of
Public Hall. Under the canopy was
Patrick Cardinal Hayes, the Pope'a
representative at the congress. Car
dinal Hayes, in vestments of gold
cloth, carried the eucharist to the
stadium.
There were 10000 in the procession
to the stadium. In bright and somber
colors, they marched to the gates on
the lake front, entered at a slow pace
and spread out in a human mon
STRANGE.
Around the outline of the mon
STRANGE was a three-foot border of
f1owers-50,o0o blooms brought from
the gardens Of women in the Cleve-
land Catholic diocese.
The hushed audience watched as
the Rosary was recited, as various
litanies we're said. There we're prayers
and hymns. Cardinal Hayes placed
the monstrance he held upon the
altar. An announcer gave the time
and l10,0 900 men, women and children
dropped to their knees. Over a loud
speaker came the Pope's voice from
Castel Gandolfo.
1T is the joy of our paternal heart
to salute each and every one of you
our good and faithful children" the
Pope said in Latin.
Kneeling on the concrete floors OF
the stadium, the congregation heard
him express his desire ito be with you
in order to deprecate the unspeakable
material and moral havoc of wars
and their dire aftermath of tears
and sorrow: to implore that peace SC
much desired by sll-peace to those
who are near and peace to those who
are far"
The Pontiff did not mention either
italy or Ethiopia by name in his
brief message last night, but prelates
said his plea for peace was so pointed
that they had no doubt the Itaio-
Ethiopian situation lay behind his
remarks.

RELIEF AIDES co
!. WITH ROOSEVELT.
Ickes and Hopkins Speed
Works Program and
Depart for West.
By the Associated Press.

oy bIlo AosOOldlCu ElcScs
Harry L. Hopkins and Secretary
Ickes, chief aides in the Federal en-
ployment drive, we're speeding west
ward with President Roosevelt today
after setting the stage for the final
phase of the $4,000,000,0o0 works
relief program.
In a farewell gesture, Hopkins said
81 1902, 500, 900 had been allotted 3d.
800 Works Progress projects and that
he was still confident the campaign
would reach it's goal of 3,500,000 jobs
by November /.
He added that Controller General
McCarl, who must approve the allot-
ments before the actual cash can be
withdrawn from the Treasury, was
cooperating fully in speeding the
huge works-relief drive. Before the
President departed last night, McCarl
was White House visitor and went
over details of the Job entrusted to
him.
Both Hopkins and Ickes, worried
by reverberations throughout the
country. planned to keep their ears
to windward on the trip so as to "size
up" the extent of feeling caused by
disappointments in hundreds of COM
fnunities over the loss of public works
projects. While Ickes had been COM
PEELED to throw overheard upwards OF
$1,000 100000 in p W. A. projects, he
told a press conference late yesterday
that the projects omitted from the
s200,0o0,000 program approved by the
President need not be considered
abandoned completely.
a. Hopes for More Funds.
IT still have hopes there will be
additional funds a little later on" he
said, adding that this hope was based
on a possible private employment
pickup which might reduce the
number of employables needing work
rather than on any word from Mr.
Roosevelt.
Hopkins said, in a statement naming
his assistant, Aubrey Williams, as
acting w. P. A. director, that State
administrators had submitted not only
enough projects to insure "a sufficient
number on which to put people tc
work." but "a large extra number,
enabling a wide choice of selection.
Hopkins added:
The situation with regard to the
submittal of projects by the Stats
works progress administrators is emf
nently satisfactory.
The project reviewers of the w. P
A. in Washington are working at top
speed. The procedure of approval is
moving rapidly, and the projects that
have come in from the States are be-
ing referred rapidly for allotment.
$4,000 Projects Approved.
"The President already has ap-
proved allotments for $4,000 projects
which have gone through the w. P
A. Review and Approval Section. He
has approved allotments of a total OF
81 l,302,500 900 through September Is
THE average cost per project is
ss39,00 and the average expenditure
sef Federal funds, exclusive of State or
local contributions, will be $3.50 PEI
man per year.
"The $4,000 projects provide for the
employment of 5,364,o 600 persons, If
all Of the projects we're done at the
same time"
Ickes' side of the unemployment
campaign was lining up for quick
start. Yesterday he announced s46,-
$4,000 had been allotted to 446 new
public works developments. Remain
ing nroiects Under q conn nm mn ,ro
gram approved by the President were
to be made public in the next few
days.

Landons swing is well regulated

that Landon is not-very-dark horse
who has his blanket on. The blanket
will not be taken of any time soon,
although pressure to get him running
obviously is surging right up to the
rail of the porch.
In other loords. it suggests that
the judicfous Landon strategy is
not to get tnuolued in any tactional
party scrap for the nomination.

be answered. II the more actipe

Many sound political seers believe
the situation will work around that
way.
Cautious and Genial.
They call Landon a kansas Cool
idge," but he is like Coolidge in only
one respect. He is the kind of fellow
who always would be the last to buy
a round of drinks. He looks younger
than Coolidge did when first coming
on the national scene. He is warmer,
more friendly. less reticent in con-
versation, much more emotional, more
human. Also he has a good face
for political posters. In fact, he is
the kind Of personality which many
a POLITICAL publicity man would pray
for in a campaign against a spending
opposition.
This does not mean that Landon
is provincially minded. Out here on
the prairies he gets yesterdays
Eastern papers by aiplane each day,
follows the European financial situ-
alton closely. has definite ideas about
what will happen in France, Italy,
Ethiopia.
The stories told OF his State
economy record are substantially
true. When he came into office
in 1882, the tar leuy UdS the lou
est since 1916 and collections teH
short OF appropriations BY s1,721,-
00S. He nipped costs, taking
voluntary Is per cent cut in his
o,on salary. He raised the tangible
property tar from 1888 mills to
1888 and started a State income tar
system
Within year he was in a posi-
ton to reduce the property tax from
l.88 to 13O mills on the lowest prop
erty assessment since 1909. (The in
come tax still ranges from / to 4
per cent above $500 for married
persons.)
Landon also put through the Legis-
venting municipalities from issuing
future tax warrants for expenditures,
except in dire emergencies. Nu-
merous similar steps have been taken
by him. enforcing gas taxes, reduc-
ing license tag fees. requiring publi-
cation of budget and hearings of COM
plants.
While it is true that the depression
caused far less severe relief situ-
alton in his farm community than
in many industrial centers the record
Is still unique. His State is one of
the few which does not now have
a State sales tax for relief purposes.
Farmer Is Practical.
Partisan enthusiasts through this
central farm belt will wag their fin
gers III your nose and tell you they
know the farmer Is strong for the
New Deal-or is dead set against 1t.
The fact seems to be, he Is neither.
If you talk with impartial farm
editors who catch the farmers in the
fields, or talk with the husbandmen
who are watching the prize hogs at
the fairs through Kansas (not the
farmers who are winning the prizes)
you will receive much information to
change your Eastern notions.
