Many Write-ins for Kansas Governor in Keystone
 State Against Borah

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Sharp political eyes on Capitol Hill today peered intently at the primary figures in Pennsylvania and Massa- chusetts, seeking an indication on how these States with a bloc of 53 electoral votes each line up for the general election on November 3.
 Democratic leaders particularly were interested in the Keystone States preferential primary votes in which President Roosevelt had his first contest, and piled up an overwhelming lead over Col Henry Breckinridge, anti-New Deal Demo- crat.
 In the Pennsylvania Republican primary, Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, was unopposed in the Presidential preference, but there were many write-ins for Coy. AL fred M. Landon of Kansas.
 Landon received more than four times the combined vote of four other Republicans in Massachusetts where the Republican delegates are not pledged.

MOSCOW, April 29. - After 34 years of frozen silence men have again entered huts which sheltered Evelyn B. Baldwin and his men on an unsuccessful attempt to reach the North Pole at the turn of the century.

 Fiala, now a resiueiiL uI Brooklyn, said today all excess materials such as books and personal effects of his 39-man expedition must be still bur- jed in the block of ice.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS

Louis McHenry Howe, in his ca pacity as confidential aide and ad- visor to Franklin Delano Roosevelt for quarter of a century, was sometimes referred t. as ''The Amer ican Warwick"
 The comparison. in one respect, was unjust to Howe.
 The Earl of Warwick was plotter de luxe He played the role of Eng lands King maker" for all it was worth materially, to his own per- sonal advantage, for his own ag- grandizement.
 As for Howe, it is doubtful if any leader ever had an aide so complete ly unselfish.
 It was in 1911, in Albany, that Howe and Roosevelt met. Howe was the Capital correspondent for the New York Herald; the young squire from Hyde Park had been elected to the State Senate from a tradi- tional Republican district.
 The next year, up for reelection, Roosevelt was stricken with typhoid fever. Howe left his newspaper job, managed the campaign and again Roosevelt was elected. Thereafter, Roosevelt's political career was Howe's career; it was his only job.
 But always he was in the back ground, a gnome-like and elusive person whom few people knew and fewer ever met.
 Last Saturday midnight, while the President was at the Gridiron Club, Howe died. He was 65 years old. s
 After private services in the White House, the body was taken to Fall River, Mass, for burial.
 The President accompanied the body and stood by, with bowed head, as it was lowered into the grave.
 All social engagements at the White House were cancelled, after Howe's death. and the President can- celled his Tuesday night address be- fore the annual Congress of the Daughters of the American Revo- lution.
 In a letter to the President-G Gen. eral of the Society, the President said the United States would con- tinue to champion the cause of in ternational disarmament.

NEW YORK, as of week ending April 25-(By Associated PreSS)- The Council of the League of Ma ions confessed it's failure to settle he Italian-E Ethiopian war
 Admittedly, the existence of the League, itself, was imperiled.
 At public session in Geneva, the Council adopted a resolution of re- yret over its failure to effect peace. 'utilely, it appealed again for a prompt cessation of hostilities and he reestablishment of peace"
 But Italy had no intention of easing its invasion. With the em- lire of Halle Selassie in turmoil, weakened by internal strife, Musso- ini's Fascists pushed on toward Addis Ababa.
 Il Duces defiance of the League, which branded him as an aggressor, brought a warning from Anthony Eden, the British Foreign Secretary. The warning was two-fold.
 First, unless the League states ,re prepared to take combined ac- ion against an aggressor now, they must not expect help from Britain f they. themselves, get into diff cultieS later.
 Second: Unless the League States fulfill theid duty of collective secur- ty, according to the covenant Of he League, Britain may lose its faith in Geneva and turn to other methods to safeguard it's interests.
 Britain, Eden declared, is ready to apply further, and more effective, economic and financial sanctions against Fascist Italy.
 But the Council left the question of additional sanctions over until the next session, May II.
 This delay, primarily, results from the French Parliamentary elections his Sunday.

 As it stands, the measure does not even satisfy the Administration. It leaves over until the next Congress the appropriation of some of the funds sought by the New Deal. But by the time the measure is finally enacted, Washington observers ex- pected the Administration to have it's way.

FOR INDEPENDENCE

A Congressional move for Puerto Rican independence was inaugurat- ed in the Senate by Chairman Tyd- ings, of the. Committee on Terri tories.
 Senator Tydings introduced a bill providing for the means to accom- plish independence.
 It provides for a secret ballot in Puerto Rico in November, 1887, on the one question:.
 Shall the people of Puerto Rico be sovereign and independent?
 If the majority so desire, Presi- dential proclamation would summon a constitutional convention for the foundation of a Republic. The con- stitution would be submitted to the government of the United States If approved in Washington, it would be submitted to a referendum of Puerto Ricans.

THE '36 CAMPAIGN

The "Old Guard" still holds sway in the Republican party. The meet ing this week of the Committee on Arrangements for the Celeveland convention was evidence to this eff feet.
 Governor Ali Landon's forces, ap- oarently, wanted c. Wayland Brooks to sound the convention keynote. Young in leadership in the party, Brooks, a Chicago attorney, defeat ed Len Small for the Republican nomination for Governor of Illinois.
 Seeking to avoid a controversy of any kind some of the Old Guard leaders decised on Senator Frederick C. Steiwer, of Oregon. His name was proposed by the veteran Ma tional Committeeman from that State, Ralph Williams. He found immediate support from Charles D.. Hilles, National Committeeman from New York, and others of the old line leadership.
 In the end, the Senators name was the only one proposed and he was unanimously selected as the con- vention keynoter
 Thus, regardless of the nature of the platform or the views of the nominee, the keynote address seems certain to have progressive touch to it.
 In the Senate, Steiwer has sup ported some New Deal legislation. While he has not been member of what could be called the Progress sive Republican bloc, he certainly has not been unfriendly to it..
 With it's influence, the conserva- tive "Old Guard" can afford such a progressive gesture, if the selec- ton of Steiwer can be called such.
 The next day, the "Old Guard again evidenced it's power in the selection of the New York Conser- vative minority leader of the House of Representatives, Bertrand H. Shell, as permanent chairman of the convention

Lapdon, Senator William E. Borah and Colonel Frank Knox remain the active candidates for the Repub- lican Presidential nomination.
 But few discussions of the Cleve- land convention overlook the chanc- es of Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michigan. Apparently, he is in the foreground as the likeliest "sec- ond choice"
 And the Michigan Republicans are standing by. The Republican state convention, characterizing Vanden- berg as lone of the major eligibles" instructed its delegation to present his name to the convention and. thereafter, to act according to its best judgment
 The Senator, it was announced from the platform, requested that no binding instructions be placed upon the delegation.
 The week brought more discus sion of cooperation between Repub- licans and Democrats dissatisfied with the New Deal.
 Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, after his reelection to the presidency of the National Republican Club, urg- ed his party to invite the coopera- ton of the hundreds of thousands of Democrats who think as we do.'
 Let us make common cause with them" he said. Let us invite them to fight side by side with us for the democracy we love. Let us assure them not merely that we will wei come their aid, but that when we triumph we will invite them to a place at the Council Board"

Mrs. Kenny said she would not
concede a tie with six other
Toronto mothers who gave birth
to nine children in the past 10
years. She wants the entire be-
quest so she can share the money
with needy mothers, she said.
Her hopes for complete victory
were based on the attempt to gain
