Interference, of an undetermin-

last evening about $50 o'clock,

Investigation to determine the
cause of the alarming sounds OF
the bell was started this morning
by City Electrician Sidney Thomp-

Landon Exercises Great Care
In Preparation Of Speeches
Various Crafts Are Sub
mitted By His Aides
In Addition To His Own
Outline
By PRESTON GROVER
(By Associated PressD

WASHINGTON, Sept. H.
Complete details of how Cover
nor Landon composes his speeches
are known perhaps only to him.
self and his closest intimates, but
here is a flash picture of the gem
eral framework.
Besides his own outlines, vari.
Gus drafts are submitted by his
aides. Those close to him get the
idea he is a good editor. He picks
and chooses, rearranges and CO.
ordinates, ripping paragraphs
apart until almost the last
minute.
He has trouble finishing a
speech and letting go Of it. Be-
fore his recent eastern invasion,
reporters were told that advance
copies of a speech were to be
ready for them one day, and the
next day that it was not yet
finished. A new paragraph was
added to the Chautauqua educa-
tional speech less than half
hour before it was delivered.
Confers Often With Star
Newspapermen appear at times
close to the governors elbow. He
talks frequently by telephone with
the Kansas City Star group-Roy
Roberts, Lacy Haynes and Henry
j. Haskell.
Less is said now about Charles
p. Taft, once at the head of the
table in the advisory group, and
of Earl H. Taylor, agricultural
writer. One good source says
Taft drafted the labor section of
the acceptance speech and after it
became a subject of public con-
troversy he wasn't so much about.
Others insisted, however, that the
labor section did not quite jibe
with Taft's liberal reputation.
DIN Glen Saxon, head Of the
department of applied economics
at Yale, holds a place close to
LandOn. The last "t's" were not
crossed on the eastern group of
speeches until Saxon had flown Ga
bit secretly to Estes Park.
Ralph West Robey of Columbia
university, writer on financial
subjects and formerly a Roose-
welt brain-truster, was at Estes
Park working on the Buffalo tax
finance speech.
Seeks Indirect Slaps
Landon often spends much time
in an effort to phrase a blow ut
the New Deal by indirection.
That is, he sometimes seeks to
leave a certain feeling with his
audience through his formation OF
a group of sentences, rather than
by direct statement.
Kirby Hawks, English-accented
radio voice, is available for con.
sultation on Sound effects" He
was at Estes Park, sent by Hill
Blackett, public relations director
of the Republican national com.
mittee, whose private advertising
firm specializes in radio work
Hawks also made the eastern
trip.
Some of the experts claim the
best "sound effect" sentence wa:
Landon's own. 1t was, they said
the "cockeyed" crack at the 1885,
tax bill. One source close t.
Landon said he insisted on the
word from the start, overruling
suueamish national committee ad
visers. When he got to that line
he smacked it over, and his audi
ence rose to it.
More than one of his aides are
guessing that Landon will us'
even more of his own stuff here
after. and thereby improve hi
delivery.

Tt is reliably rumored that those
who expected. whitening campaign
blasts from the White House are
going to be disappointed. Presi-
dent Roesevelt's strategy-which,
of course, can be quickly changed
should conditions warrant it's
said to call for non-combative,
constructive talks and speeches,
such as Mr.. Roosevelt's report on
his trip through the drought coun-
try, made over both big broad
casting chains on September 6.
In the Republican camp, a more
aggressive stand will be taken
an incumbent can point to his past
record, discuss future policies in
general terms and let it go at
that, but a contender must de-
nounce. Colonel Knox will be
principal "denouncer", as early
speeches prove. But there will
be no "dirty politics" unless all
the signs fail.
That hitherto unfailing arbiter
of coming campaigns, the Literary
Digest poll, is on again. Keep
your eve on it before placing
your bets. If this election is
close, it will be interesting to see
how near ouch a poll can come to
anticipating the outcome and the
victor's majority.

merce's ,okay. And new develop
ments are constantly adding
heavily to the Obsolescence item
in the operators books. For in
stance, people marveled not so
long ago at the appearance OF
planes carrying 10 or 10 people.
Latest planned airliner will have
four motors and accommodations
for 40 passengers besides mail,
express and a stable crew.
AS for the future of air trans
port, it is still in the speculative
stage. General transoceanic pas
senger service is envisioned for
the reasonably near future-the
giant flying clippers" travelling
from California to the Philippines
and China will soon take passen-
gers. And there is much talk OF
shakespeare flying, which would
vastly increase plane speeds
ship capable of 200 at 5000 feet
will double that speed as it reaches
rarified heights. But the tough
est kind of technical problems are
involved, and it will be years be-
fore the dream can be realized,
according to even the most Opt
mistic designers and airtheorists.
In the meantime, it seems GER
tain that the industry will con-
tinue to- progress in such matters
as plane speeds, passengers car
ried, coverage of the country, etc.
There are no signs that it will in
any way supplant other media of
transport, such as the railroads,
trucks and buses, but it offers a
very valuable supplementary serv-
ice. And it is naturally becoming
a bigger economic factor as it en-
ploys more workers and buys more
materials.

PEOPLES FORUM
URGES ELIMINATION
OF CORRUPT ELEMENT

Editor, The Citizen:
When prosperity comes to Key
West, when cars roll in over the
new highway and new ships dock
and big buildings replace old
structures rapidly, will Key West
keep her head? Or wiln her head
be turned as the once beautiful
Miami Beach's was, and corrup-
ton seep through from the under
world and the fly-by-nights of the
North come to roost here? 1t is
not unreasonable to predict that
wealth will come quickly, as
rapidly, even, as it came to Mi
ami.
The pre-boom "Magic City,
was a struggling town until the
Dixie Highway cut the path that
was to bring all the states to her
door. But here there is even
more charm, greater possibility
for small and well-balanced
city. Shall it be spoiled by the
intrusion of the slum elements of
New York and Chicago, as was
Miami Beach? One of the very
reasons why you may expect
many people of substance to come
here to reside will be that Key
West offers escape from the Coney
Island that Miami Beach has be-
come.
Anybody who is fond of the
wonderful fishing opportunities
this city affords will follow the
example of Mr.. Hemingway and
others who found here the sort of
community for living abundantly.
Rest Beach and the Roosevelt
boulevard, a fresh sweep of sea
and land, will soon throng with
tourists and hum with the din of
, building and now is the time to
safeguard the future of Key West
by discouraging the wrong kind
of purchasers.
The choice of the - Island City
as an important link in air and
ocean transportation between
Cuba and the islands will ma
turally follow. Where land is

DINNER WITH ELSA

TT WAS soon after six when Ma

assistant. obtained a few ties about
means of Disgusting himself. and
bought the materials necessary for
a disguise. After that be returned
to his lodgings and changed into eve

At half past seven he rang the
front door-bell of Elsa's house. His
heart was beating faster than usual
as he waited for his ring to be an
swered. Elsa was wearing a white
semi-evening frock of a soft. silky
material that had the effect of en-
