 HAYS HAMMOND
Continued from Page l.,

 pr. Harry 0. Burrell pronounced death due to Q heart attack.
 Suffered Recently
 Hammond, father of John Hays Hammond, IT,, the noted inventor was said by Griffin to have suf- fered frequent though not serious heart attacks recently. Accompail- led by his sister, Miss Elizabeth Hammond, the engineer had re- turned to his estate Saturday night from New York after spending the winter ct Palm Beach and Boca Raton club in Florida.
 Two of his children, John, Jr., and Richard Pindell Hammond, were here when death came. The other two, Natalie Hays Hammond, artist and designer, and Harris Hammond business associate of his father were in New York.
 S1 Last March
 A native of San Francisco, Hafn- mond celebrated his 8ist birthday last March 3i. After graduating from 1hefileld school at Yale in 1876, he returned to the California gold fields, where his father was . "forty-niner". He later went to Mexico and in 1893 sailed to South Africa. It was there that he met Cecil Rhodes and later was put ii, charge of the famed British "empire builders" extensive mining conces- sions. Tn 1S04 he led Q joint expe- dition with Rhodes into the African wilderness where he rediscovered the fabled King Solomon mines. His survey led to reopening of the mines, which had been abandoned centuries before. By advice of Ham, mond, Rhodes sold his lucrative gold holdings and purchased un- touched territory which later pro- duced the famed Rand mines.

pIhElks 4WV WCckb hkUb was understood, former Governor Henry Allen of Kansas carried the proposed Landon currency program on Q tour of the east, showing 1t to various republican leaders, includ- ing former Secretary of the Treas ury ogden L. Mills. His currency plank and the old guard plank on the same subject was understood to have been made to conform then.
 But there was Q wide divergence between Borah and the eastern old guard, which iS backing Landon The demands of various farm or- ganizations for 8 managed currency was received favorably by the Idaho senator, but met with the quick and definite refusal of the eastern CTS who had reluctantly given ur hope of getting Q reference to the gold standard in the platform. LandOn Plank Builder
 Cleveland, June 0--(UP)--Leaders of the Landon board of strategy labored through the opening of the republican national convention to- day to complete Q platform plank calling for sound currency without alienating supporters opposed to re- turn to the gold standard.
 "You can say it will be Q sound money plank" one influential ad- wiser of the KanSaS governor told the United Press as he came from the informal and private platform sessions.
 "1t's the big issue that's not set- tied as yet, but I don't believe the proposals of the Landon group will mention the gold standard" he added.
 Fight Over Currency
 "Therell be Q fight over what shall be said about managed cur- rency, but 1t is Q mistake to say that the midwest Is not strongly opposed to infiationary tactics" Equally strenuous efforts were made to clarify the Landon agricul- tural plank.
 Rep. clifford Hope and Sen. Ar- thur Capper of Kansas, sponsors of Q plan to pay farmers @ subsidy equivalent to the increased prices he has to pay because of the tariff, conferred with officials of the American Farm Bureau Federation and the National Grange. It was understood farm officials contended the Hope- -Capper plan which has Landon sponsorship was "too conservative"
 "The farmers of this country will not accept any half-baked plan, said Edward O'Neal, head of the Farm Bureau Federation. "Any project designed to aid agri- culture must carry Q provision for control of production and the Hope- Capper bill doesn't have such Q pro- viSion."
 Hope Is Worried
 Hope appeared worried as he walked into 0 stuffy suite to at- tempt to placate leaders of the farm organization. Asked concerning the farm plank he said: "No com- ment."
 Hope and other Landon aides worked long into the night on var- ious proposed suggestions for the plank.
 It was learned that the Landon group expected little or no opposi- ton to plank calling for removal of the power of the president to fix the value of the dollar, but there will be Q controversy in the resolu- tons committee as to whether the party shall propose repeal of the silver act.

several weeks ago when . gas-filled circus balloon exploded, Fire Marshal Den Lahey and his staff were on hand early this morning t0 forbid vendors to sell gas balloons. Five tanks of hydrogen were found by the marsha1 and his staff, and of- ficials agreed not to use the gas in inflating the balloons but to HI them with air instead. Balloons sold by street peddlers were also inspect ed by the marshal, Capt. William c. Russell, and Private Eugene LCgge.
 The circus brought in the usual quota of itinerant vendors and ped- dlers, who set up stands for many blocks around the circus lot. Others peddled their wares through the downtown streets, offering to Cir- cus-goers amazing" bargains in Japanese hats, climbing monkeys, automatic can-openers and whatnot.
 Crowds Out Early
 The Ringing Brothers, Barnum and Bailey circus did not visit Wa terbury last year and, judging from the morning crowds, the ''big top will be filled ct both afternoon. and night performances.
 The circus workers were as effi- cient as usual. getting the many tents and stands up in short order. Work on the main tent was fin- lshed late this morning, and every- thing was set for the ringnaeter to make his bow and start off the show at q o'clock.
 Orownups did not lot the young etera steal the spotlight, and were just as much absorbed in watching what was going on in tfae various parts Of the lot. Circus day brought with it its usual holiday atmosphere, |and ongorIy-antieipating crowds were stilI throngang to the grounds.

 While the presidents speeches are expected to be political, his visits were regarded as of consider able political significance, despite the fact most of the section to be visited is considered safely demo- cratic in the national elections.
 Plans were made to receive den1- ocratic leaders at almost every stop. The president is expected to receive flrst-hand reports of political plans from these delegations.
 In the presidential party were several prominent southwesterners. Those aboard included Chairman Jesse Jones of the REC; Karl A. Crowley, post office solicitor; Charles A Jones of the HOLC, and Brooks Hayes, democratic national com mitteeman from Arkansas.

 So intense were Borah's suspicious that Wall street influence was be- hind Landon's platform that he was attempting to arrange to defend his own program in Q dramatic ap- pearance on the convention floor. move.
 A sudden decision by the New York delegation to postpone its cau- cus--expected to favor Landon-- until Wednesday was reported to be Q threat to bolt, if Borah were permitted to write into the Kan sans platform Q provision for e managed currency.
 Into this controversy, which ex- tended to other important blanks such as foreign policy and mon- opoly, marched the old guard Uf the eastern states with e platform in which the last plank had been sawed square and the last nail driven. They put their platform before the delegates and invited Landon to stand on 1t.
 Issues in Crisis
 The United Press learned that this completed platform of 1900 words centered on these issues, which are the heart of the fight:
 1. A declaration for sound cur- rcncy and against permission for the president to "juggle with our money" but with no mention of the gold standard.
 2. The old guard made Q gen- eralized statement for "the protec- ton and full price benefit of the American market for the Ameri- can farmer" by tariff limitations or some other plan of benefit pay- ments to compensate the farmer for lack of tariff protection.
 3. The old guard plank refer ring to monopoly reads: We favor the impartial enforcement of the anti-trust laws to prevent mon- opoly and unfair trade practices"

 First Denied Fraud
 Police Officer James P. Ryan of Thomaston, who arrested Rogozirski on complaint of Tuszack, said that at first the younger man had denied that any transaction took place. He said Rogozinski had objected streHl- uously to being searched but finally had produced 4170 which he admit ted having received from Tuzsack. Later, Officer Ryan said, he changed his story and said the money was to pay off Q note on his car.
 Rogozinski declared he had bee friended the old man during 6 period of two years, and that he had warned him on several occasions not to give any more of his money to Mrs. Perbyk, the niece with whom he boards. Examination of the bank book disclosed that Tuszack had withdrawn about 96,0OO, all of which he said had been given to his rela- tives.

which, when performing their
proper function, give the bust its
