ATHENS, Aug. 81 GNS).
Near tragedy marred the vacation
cruise of King Edward VIII of
Engalnd today when his yacht
was involved in an accident and
two roWboats loaded with sight
seers were capsized before his
eyes.
The accident occurred when his
yacht, the Nahlin, crashed into a
bridge support while attempting
to negotiate Chalcis Straits off
Euboea Isle. Adverse currents
threw the vessel off it's course.
Two seamen were slightly injured
by the impact.
High waves caused by escort
cruisers rushing to the Nahlin'S
side then capsized the roWboats.
All aboard were rescued, suffering
no i'll effects except a ducking.

EYES CRISIS
IN SPAIN
In Close Touch With
Capital As He Speeds
To Dern's Bier
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

EN- ROUTE TO SALT LAKE
CITY WITH PRESIDENT ROOSE-
WELT, Aug. 81. 0N.S0 0.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt kept in close touch
with Washington and the Spanish
situation today as his train sped
away from the drought ridden Da-
kotaS and their relief problems,
westward bound to the bier Of his
late Secretary of War.
The bombing of an American
warShip, the destroyer Kane, by
an unidentified plane 38 miles off
the Spanish coast was regarded as
an incident sufficiently serious for
the United States to make formal
representations to both sides in
the Spanish civil war.
This is not the first American
protest growing out of the Span
ish conflict. Previously, the State
Department had registered a
warning with the Spanish govern.
ment against the confiScation of
American property. This time,
and for the first time, the United
States spoke to the Spanish in
Surgents as we'll as to the govern.
ment they are trying to dislodge.
WarshipS To Be Withdrawn
One effect of the bombing incl
dent may be to hasten the with
draWal of American warShipS
from Spanish waters, where they
have been engaged in rescuing
American nationals from the
theater of war operations. Most
of this rescue work has now been
completed and all the Americans
taken out of the country who
wanted to go.
There remains only American
commercial interests in Spain to
be looked after, and they are so
scattered that the Navy can be
of little effective use in that way.
Meanwhile, the presence of naval
vessels in Spanish waters, even
if 38 miles off the coast, is a
constant invitation to just such
incidents as that of the Kane.

refugees is about concluded;
henceforth the job belongs to the
diplomats.
After a quiet weekend in the
Black Hills of South Dakota,
broken only by the dedication of
the Mt. Rushmore Memorial be-
fore the news of the Spanish in
cident, the President turned away
from his drought inspection trip
to join with other members Of his
Cabinet in the funeral rites for
Secretary Dern.
Delays Seeing LandOn
For Mr.. Roosevelt, this meant a
36-hour journey to Salt Lake City
and the poStponement of his
meeting with Gov. Alfred M. Lam

presidency, in a five-State drought
conference at Des Moines. Origi-

Britain's," and further states that the ad-
miral when asked whether he thought the
United States would build two more battle
ships to keep pace with Britain, replied,
'"There is no doubt in my mind that two
ships will be built May humble citi-
zen be permitted to ask why?
Surely the naval treaty does not require
such building but merely permits it, and
yet our war officials seem to take it for
granted that we are automatically COM
PEELED to build if another nation does. Why
need we thus allow another nation to de-
termine our policy? May not our boosted
freedom in all else extend also to this?
Certainly no informed person believes
there is any compulsiOn, yet this impress
sion is constantly given and fear widely
believed The fact is, however, that we
are free to build or not to build as we
deem best
Why then should we build? Is it for
our own adequate defense? Then why not
say so and few realistic citizens will OBJ
iect, though few informed and fairmind-
ed persons will feel that with our COM
pact and almost self-sustaining country,
protected by two great oceans, we need
for our defense a navy anything like the
size of England'S and many feel that our
present navy is more than adequate for
the defense of our soil.

LABOR AND LANDON

Organized labor in the East was treat
ed recently to an expose of Landon'S labor
record which was published in The New
York Post. The lead and zinc mine work
erS of Kansas year ago were on strike,
and the strike was broken by the Nation
al Guard, called out by Gov. Alfred NJ
Lndon, at that time business-like state
official famous for balancing the budget
by slashing relief and school appropria-
tions.
Labor also is interested in the fact that
among the chief advisors of Landon, who
today is the Republican candidate for the
Presidency, are the following, who have
been named by Labor Research AssOcia-
ton:
Ogden L. Mills, Secretary of the Treas
ury under Hoover, and director of the
anti-labor National Biscuit Company, In
ternational Paper and Power Company,
and Hearst's Gerro de Pasco Copper Cor
poration; Eugene Meyer, banker and
former Governor of the Federal Reserve
Board appointed by Hoover, now publish
er of The Washington Post; Benjamin An
derson, economist for Standard Oil Com
pany, and Winthrop W. Aldrich, chairman
of Chase National Bank (Morgan) and
Son-in-law of John D. Rockefeller He
numbers among his supporters leading
members of the American Liberty League.
He is the protege and political creation of
William Randolph Hearst, and his election
as Governor of Kansas was hailed as vic
tory by Cities Service Corp.
The strong ties that bind Landon TO
Hearst, chief of Americas red-baiters and
labor-haters, were also exposed in The
Post. which published the names of Ian
don'S Eastern Division press agents: Leo
J. Casey, until recently political editor Of
the N. Y. Journal, is press relations coun-
sci; and Henry COnnors, until now politi-
cal writer for the Syracuse Journal, is
publicity chairman, Republican State Com
mittee.
