 Now, according to republican leaders returning from Topeka, this advice has been taken Up by the IIandon "kitchen cabinet". They have put c Tnuffler on Haln- iltCn'S liquaciLy.
 Cabinet Lineup
 Landor's Kitchen cabinet cone sists of ROY ROBERTS, tI1Hnag. ing editor of The Kansas City Star: OSCAR STAUF'FER, college clasSmate and KansaB newspaper owner; Federal Judge GEORGE T. McDERMOTTi and LACEY HAYNES, Kansas correspondent of Tho Kansas City Star.

 UnswelIed Head
 NewDpapefTncn who have visited Ali Landon both before his norli- tnation and after, report that his selection as republican presi. dcntial gtandard.bearer has not necossitated 0 change in the size of his hat.
 War Clouds
 Not for Q good many months have Q. s. foreign experts been so worried about the situation in Europe. Some of the confidential cables American ambassadors are sending back indicate that Europe iS skirting very near the brink of war.
 Even before the crash of the three Italian planes bearing arms to the Spanish Nazi.Monarchists, there was direct evidence that Germany has been supplying the rebels with a!rplaneS and 11luni. tions.
 Indirect War
 France, on the opposite side, had been supplying airplaneg to the Spanish Popular Front dov- ernment, despite on official de- cision to the contrary.
 Thus the two blttereSt enemies in Europe - France and Ger many - appear [ Obe waglng indirect war on each other on Spanish soil, with Itely siding with Maxi Germany.
 Both Hitler and MuSsolini are determined not to have two Popu- lar Front governments -- France and Spain .- ag their immediate neighbors. And they appear willing to 90 to almost any length, even war, to prevent it.

 "WeIl, uh, or It would Dc unusual" MarstOn replied, smiling.
 Housing HypOderYnic
 Secretary Ickes finally has got himself aTl Al chief for his Hous. ing Division, one of the most i'm. portant units in PWA.
 Howard A. Grey, the man who is stepping Up to this job, is the man who stepped down into the Chicago sewers on on inspection tour whihc saved the government quite . wad of money.
 Grey was chief of PWA inSpec. ton ct that time, warned Con. treetor 6. A. Healey that his work was not going to pass. Healey perhaps knowing tho record of tho Chicago Sanitary District, shrugged hig shoulders. But subs gequently Grey held up the govs ernment pay check.
