By BYRON PRICE Chief of Bureau the Associated Press, Washington.)

The political procession has at tained a pace which not only bewil- ders the layman but has some Of the hardened politicians breathless. Speeches, statements, polls, claims and alibis are thicker than Lon don fog. The best the political com- mentators can do is to examine in- dividual aspects of situation of general confusion, like war cores pcndents who are able to see at one time only a comparatively small sec tor of hundred-mile front.
 Many of these individual aspects of the developing battle are highly interesting, even though it is im- DO .sible at this stage to say how they will fit eventually into the cam paign.

LANNON'S BOOM

No recent development in Repub- lican ranks has caused more specu- lation than the sudden bloesoming out of the boom for Governor Lan- don of Kansas for the Presidential nomination next year.
 Presented by his friends as "a Kansas Coolidge" the Governor evil dently plans to do only such speech making as he is compelled to do. His admirers say he will spend his time being too busy with his present job to talk about national politics.
 That is conceded on every hand to be good strategy-proyided it can be executed. But can he, sitting in the middle of the farm belt, keep si- lent on the farm question?

RECREATION CENTER NEED

During a discussion of law en- forcement problems at the city council meeting Thursday night Mayor Barnes declared that the problem of recreation and amuse- ment for boys, particularly those from IT to 21, is something that must be met in Wrangell and he felt that one of the civic organiza- tions should make it their concern at once.
 It is easy to shake heads over the misdoings of youth but it should be recognized that eondi- tions in WrangelI are not condu- cive to good behavior.
 If a boy has pocket money he can go to the movies. After that the only places open are the beer halls. The potential value of the public library is greatly curtailed by the fact that the small appro- priation for the librarians salary permits her services for only three hours an afternoon, three after moons a week. Before she leaves the library, it is necessary to lock the book cases and put away all cur rent magazines, for, with no one in charge, books and new maga- zines would be freely pilfered.
 If a boy has a taste for reading old magazines and enjoys sitting in a cold room he can have a jolly good time up to the closing of the reading room at 9 o'clock.
 We grant that the demands made on city funds are urgent; that the city authorities are ha- ressed and perplexed in the attempt to make every dollar expended do the work of two; that revenues are not half the amount needed for just claims of town betterment. But we believe that first of all pro vision should be made for place where boys may congregate for clean amusement and recreation and that this is a matter for the town, rather than a community or ganization, to finance.
 A recreation center could be provided without a great deal of expenditure. T There are vacant rooms in the city hall which could be utilized. The adjoining gymna- sium could be properly fitted up at small cost. The main expense would be for the salary of a man in charge.
 It is not an impossible task. The citizens of Wrangell can do this if they want it done. It should be done before the boys have lost their desire for such amusement.

BRING YOUR OWN SHELTER TF COMING TO NOME SAYS MAYOR

NOME, Alaska-Lacking in hous- ing facilities as we'll as jobs, Nome should be marked off the list of job hunters, it was stated here yester- day by Mayor Rex F. Swartz. As head of a civic organization which has just completed a survey of the situation in Nome, he stated that the supply of labor here is more than sufficient for the demand, this being especially true of skilled labor, including carpenters.
 The mayor said that it appears now that no extensive construction will get under way this year, and every available cabin and house is occupied Hotels are full; so new corners to Nome must make ar engagements for shelter-such as tents and stoves-before coming here. The city has not established a public bunkhouse or eating facili- ties and no relief organization ex- poets to do so The long and short of it is that Nome has nothing whatever to offer the unemployed just now, he said.

MOVERS ARE ALSO BUYERS

In Washington, DC, a mailing list was compiled of women govern ment employees doing similar work and earning salaries from $500 to $25OO yearly. The following test was made by furrier:
 2500 letters were mailed to part of the list using only names with permanent addresses. An equal number of letters were sent on the same day to another part of the same list containing both the ire quent movers and those who hadn't moved for four years. There were practically no postoffice returns on the stable address names, while about percent of the other let ters came back.
 Several months later a check of purchases was made against each list. Actual sales were about four times as many from the poor list as measured by postoffice returns-as against the good list of permanent addresses from which there were practically no returns.
 Investigation showed the perma- nent address list included em- ployees' who had lived in one place for a long time, mostly old maids
 Id home buyers who were having a hard time making ends meet. The general list included active and so- cially inclined girls who would al-

KINGFIsH SUFFERS IMPAIRED
 INTELLECT SAYS SEC. ICKES

WASHINGTON-Secretary of the Interior Iekes has evidently been taking lessons from Gen. Hugh Johnson, formerly the storm center of the NRA, in the art of word singing. Thursday Secretary Ickes, who has been having a bang-up feud with Kingfish Huey Long, told the Louisiana senator that he is suffering from an impaired in tellect. But the secretary used less polite language. When he was told that Huey threatened to knock his ears off, Iekes replied "Oh, reallyl With, or without the aid of his bodyguard?" Ickes revealed today that he was holding up three PWA allotments totalling S648,O00 to Louisiana. Ickes also cancelled four Georgia PWA allotments totalling $210, ,000. He said this was because Governor Talmadge vetoed a bill to validate the sale by counties of Georgia's highway department to the federal government. A little while earlier Governor Talmadge had attacked the administration calling MT. Roosevelt a radical.
