NEXT "a HOURS IS

United Press Staff Correspondent
CLEVELAND, June 6. (UP)-
The field ganged up on Governor
ALT M. Landon last night.
Supporters of Senator Lester
J. Dickinson of Iowa, for the Re-
publican presidential nomination,
Joined followers of Senator Will
liam E. Borah and Frank Knox
in one supreme effort to send the
fast-travelling Landon bandwagon
into the ditch before it flattens
them all.
They believe their fortunes will
be made or broken in the next "a
hours. There is no written agree
ment among them and they are
split upon almost every issue ex-
cept one-that if they don't chisel
away some Landon strength
quickly the party is over. If the
Dickinson Borah-Knox crowd does
stop Landon-and the odds are
heavy that it won't-all agree
ments will 60 out the window and
they will sharpen up their knives
for one another in a free-for-all
fight for the nomination.
The triumphant strains of 30,
Susannah, don't you cry for me-"
rang through the hotel suite
where a picture of Landon grins
down from the wall. The Landon
theme song was heard every
where; synthetic Kansas sunflow-
ers bloomed on the streets of
Cleveland; and Little Joe Martin,
Landon's floor leader, climbed up
on a table and predicted he would
send his man over the hill to vic
tory on the first ballot.
John Hamilton, the Landon
campaign manager, smiled over
the bandage on his chin Che cut
himself while shaving in the ex-
uberance of what he believes to
be the approaching triumph) and
said the "Stop Landon" crowd
was winning more votes for the
Kansas governor every time it
OpcUS ITO iAVuLus
Kansas oiled up the steamroller
in a caucus of the state delega-
ton. Henry j. Allen was chosen
chairman. William Allen White,
the Usage of Emporia," was nam
ed for the convention resolutions
committee. Hamilton was put back
into the saddle as national COM
mitteeman. Every vote in the eau
Gus was unanimous; every face
wore q broad smile; the Landon
headquarters were crowded to the
windowsills.
There was plenty Of room in
the Knox and Borah headquarters
and visitors were received like
prodigal sons who had wandered
away years ago and now were
coming home, wealthy and well.
The "Stop Landon" forces
thought they had found a chink
in the governors armor and all
day they were busy sending ar
rows whizzipg at it. They were
trying to convince the delegates
that Landon really is q New Deal
er and that if he is nominated he
will put up only powder puff
fight against President Roosevelt
in November.
Former Senator George H.
Moses, Knox leader, hammered
at that idea. Black headlines re-
corded the fact that, Carl Bach
mann, Borah's manager, was sing
ing the same song.

lined Lawmakers; Plan
Bank Changes

PARIS, June 6. (UP).-Pre-
mier Leon Blum made his first
declaration of policies of the Left
Wing Popular government today,
announcing a sweeping list of
bills aimed at labor, and financial
reforms.
His announcement came at a
time in the crisis when 5000 work
ers are on strike and gold is being
rushed out of the country in heavy
shipments.
The statement of financial re-
forms significantly followed a
change in the governorship of the
Bank of France. Left Wing finan-
cier, Emil Labeyrie, was named as
the new governor by Blum. He
named a series of three groups of
bills providing for social security,
labor legislation, financial reforms
and revisions of Frances fiscal
tax systems.
Turning to foreign affairs. he
stressed the desire of France for
peace and called for halt in Eu-
ropes armament race and organ
ization for collective security
agreements. -
He said the immediate legisla-
tive program would be bills for
the 44-hour week, collective bar
gaining, paid vacations, public
works, naturalization of The mu
nitions industry, revision of the
unpopular economy DEGREES of the
Laval government, and reform of
the Bank of France.
PARIS, June 6. (UP).-Pre-
mier Leon Blum yesterday prom
ised immediate legislation setting
up a French NRA" to meet the
demands of 100000 strikers who
have threatened the nation with
industrial paralysis and a food
shortage.
Meanwhile, strikes continued to

Twelve miles were enough for one
day. Since they had stopped on
the bank of this steam, it wa
named Stop River.
Camp was pitched under the
trees on the bank and the boys
had another meal of rabbit. The
young explorers were very tireC
and as soon as they had eaten
they rolled themselves in theil
blankets. The strong light of the
fire kept up by Wilcox and Doni
phan, who watched in turn, kept
wild animals away.
All went well. There were nc
alarms, and at dawn they started

The ground was no longer
marShy, so they returned to the
shore of the lake, which they
reached before 10 o'clock. After
lunching on a few roasted birds,
they again went north. Nothing
indicated that the extremity of
the lake was near, and the eastern
horizon was still outlined by q
circular curve of sky and water,
when, towards noon, Doniphan,
taking up his telescope, said:
There's the other shore!"
All looked towards that side,
where the heads of a few trees
showed above the water.
I'VE won't STOP" said Gordon,
lets try to reach it before night. I"
An arid plain dotted with dunes
and tufts Of willows and reeds
stretched towards the north. a
vast area of sand in great con-
traSt to the green forests of the
center. Gordon fittingly named it
Sandy Desert.
About 3 o'clock the opposite
shore, which rounded itself about
two miles to the northeast, doomed
distinctly. This region appeared
barren of all living creatures ex-
cept cormorants, petrol and grebes
which flew over it towards the
rocks on the shore.
If the Slough had been wrecked
on this arid part of the island,
the young caStaways would have
thought themselves deprived of all
resources. In this desert they
never would have found a shelter
such as French Den. Once the
schooner had been broken up by
heavy seas, they would not have
known where to find a refuge!
All this region seemed uninhab-
liable. The boys decided to put
off for a second expedition the
exploration of the right shore of
the lake, where other forests might
offer new wealth. Moreover, it
certainly must be towards the east
that the American continent was
situated if Chairman Island was
anywhere near it.
However, at Doniphan's suggeS-
ton, they decided to go as far as
the extremity of the lake, which
could not be very far since the
double curves of the two shores
could be seen more closely as they
went along.

Gordon Donlphan and WILCOX
carried guns and all had pistols
at their belts. Hunting knives
and two hatchets completed their
equipment. They were to use
powder and lead only to defend
themselves from attack, or to kill
game if they could not catch it
any other way. LaSsoeS and bolaS
were taken by Baxter, who had
practiced in their use. A quiet
boy, this Baxter, but skillful with
his fingers, he had quickly be-
come clever in the use of these
hunting tools. He had practiced
on stationary objects, but now
they were going to see him at
work on animals running at full
speed.
Gordon also took the rubber
halkett-boat, which was easy to
carry, since it could be folded, and
weighed only 10 pounds. The map
showed two small rivers where it
could be used in crossing if they
could not ford them.
If Baudoin's map was correct,
the western shore of Family Lake
extended about 18 miles. It would
take at least three days for the
exploration.
The boys and Phann left Traps
Woods and went along the lake
shore. In two miles they came
to a region with high grass grow
ing in tufts, among which they
disappeared up to their heads. 1t

"Our lunch may be right there!"
answered the young hunter.
"And our dinner, tool" added
Service, bending over the burrows.
IF they are" said Wilcox, well
get them out without a shot,"
"How?" asked Webb.
"By smoking them out"
Wilcox lit some dry leaves at
the mouth Of the hole.
A minute later a dozen half suf-
located rabbits appeared and
vainly tried to get away. Service
and Webb killed a couple with
their hatchetS, while Phann Stran-
gled three others in three bites.
They'll make a wonderful
roaSt!" said Gordon.
"I'n look after that" said Ser
vice, the cook for the trip.
1.-THE first time we call halt, >"
answered Gordon.
In half an hour they were out
of the coarse high grass. Beyond,
the shore was lined with dunes.
At IL o'clock the explorers arrived
at the mouth of Dyke Creek. They
had covered about six miles.
A halt was called at the foot Of
q magnificent umbrella pine. A
fire was built between two large
stones, and two of the rabbits,
skinned and cleaned by Service,
were roasted. Service did well
and they had a good lunch with
out touching the provisions in
their SatchelS, except the biscuits.
This done, they forded the creek.
Plenty of Game
The shore of the lake became
marshy and they went back to the
edge of the forest Game abounded
in the forest, particularly grouse,
