ABOARD LANDON TRAIN EN-
ROUTE TO CALIFORNIA, October
ia call for President Roosevelt to
say whether he intends "to perpetuate
the N. r. A. willy -nilly" was voiced to-
day by Gov. Ali M. Landon as the
Republican presidential nominee
headed West for a major address Tues
day at Los Angeles.
In a formal statement commenting
on a speech last week by James Roose-
welt, the Presidents son, Gov. Landon
said, This much Is clear, that young
Roosevelt understands the President
still to intend to make N. r. A. prin-
ciples live and operate in our Gov
ernment by one device or another"
The statement was made public as
Iandon crossed the foothills OF the
Rockies en- route to Albuquerque, N
Mex, for a short speech Cat $3.50 PM,
Mountain standard time). the hrst
during a strenuous two weeks OF cam
paipning that will take him twice the
distance across the continent.
Silence Held Confession"
"The President" Landon said, must
specifically deny that his sons views
are his views. Otherwise, the silence
of the father will be the confession
that the son spoke for the President
when he gave us to understand that
his father intended to perpetuate the
N. r. A. willy-nilly."
Landon's statement said: There
are two versions of what young Roose-
welt said cat Gardner, Masso. One
taken down in shorthand, according
to the press, at the time the state
rnent was made, and the other given
out by the speaker himself the next
day and then changed by him some
two hours later.
"As to the actual intentions OF the
President regarding the N. r. A.. the
two statements are IN essence iden-
tical - .. .,....s. :. ..s..,,s
Mr.. James Rooseyelt's own ac-
count of what he said as quoted IN
the press is as follows:
These are the purposes OF the
N. r. A. The administration Is
pledged to attempt to- carry out the
purposes of the N. r. A. in every con-
stitutional manner. Should there be
no way in which this can be ac-
complished, which we do not admit,
I as an individual see no alterna-
tive but to ask the people for the
right to make those purposes consti-
tutional through the Congress Of the
United States"
Sees Conclusion Clear.
Landon stated the conclusion to be
reached in the matter was clear
without attempting to unravel Mr..
James Roosevelt's constitutional
theories as expressed in the last
sentences of his statement (they have
q certain New Deal smack about
them) ." ."
The Governor bade his family
eood-by at the station in Topeka
last night and spoke briefly to a
crowd gathered about the rear plat
form of his car.

her husband on his campaign trip, did
