Observers watched last week
for the reaction of the voters to
the attacks of Gov. Landon on the
administration farm program, its
reciprocal treaties and its social
security set-up. All were heavily
bombarded by the Republic.
His social security includes no
government participation in un-
employment insurance and would
put the needy aged, those past IS
on a dole sufficient to afford
them what he called 'sliving PEN

Following Gov. Landon's series
of speeches in Iowa, Minnesota
and Wisconsin, the President be-
gan his active campaign and Sec
rotary Wallace took up the stump
TO answer the Kansan on agri-

of the battle all impartial observ-

One of the unexpected results
of the Landon attack on the So
cial Security act was the resigna-
ton Of John G. Winant, chairman
of the board set up to administer
the measure. Winant, twice Re-
publican governor of New Hamp-
shire, expressed his faith in the
Humanitarian measure" and re-
signed in order to be free to an
swer the Republican candidate.
He pointed out, in his letter to
the President. that the act was
viewed as non-part san anu that
it was supported by three tines as
many Republicans as voted against
it. Being the minority party
member of the Board, and unable
to take part in it's defense as long
as he stayed on the board, Mr..
Winant resigned in order to have
a free hand.

Probably the most interesting
phase of the present presidential
campaign is the battle to win the
farmer vote. This centers in the
Middle Western farm States
through the inevitable logic Of
political conditions. The South is
strong for Roosevelt and New
England is strong for Landon. On
the West Coast the tide seeming
ly runs with the President. Hence,
the tug of war that is going on in
the central section of the coun-
try, where the farmer is being
courted as never before.

Meanwhile, there were similar
efforts to "size up" the effect of
the sudden and dramatic condi-
tional sterilization of French,
British and American currencies,
which is everywhere taken as a
contribution to the stimulation of

peace. This agreement by the

Where Trouble Is-- There's Fletcher

There are quite Q few people of Waterbury who have the unhappy faculty of getting into trouble, but with Fletcher HargrOve it's posi- tive genius. Fletcher, who Is cOl0red and who gives his age as 23, and his residence as A flaw kins street, has only one arrest on his police record but he's aI- ways seemed to be on hand when trouble develops.
 Not so long ago, Fletcher was driving peacably through Plain vile. There was an accident. Fletcher wasn't involved, but who was arrested? Fletcher, of course. He was released, but that didn't lessen the indignlty of it.
 Last Friday morning, Fletcher felt quite at peace with the world as he strOlled down Abbott ave- nue. Suddenly woman ran out on the street calling "Help, help.
 Fletcher went inside with her, and there he saw Q negro badly wounded. It was Merle Smith, 21, who died few minutes later, and for whose killing Clara Crawford, 30, is now being held.
 Fletcher didn't know exactly what to do, so he held Merle's head. That might help, he thought. Just as he had Smiths head in his hands, 8 squad of policemen marched in. Everyone on the premises was arrested, in- cluding Fletcher. He spent all day Friday in the lookup and wasn't released until Saturday, when questioning showed that he hadn't been involved at all.
 And Fletcher has found that it doesn't always pay to be Q good Samaritan ....
