WICHITA, Kans., Sept. Z.
(UP)-Gov. Alf M. Landon
called upon American veter-
ans of the World War today
to stand firm in the nations
frontline trenches against the
threat of intolerance, against
sweatshop labor and against the
utter futility of war" Il believe
we can do much by intelligent leg
islation to lessen danger of being
drawn into war with which we have
no real concern the Republican
presidential nominee declared in
speech to veterans of three con-
flicts and to a throng assembled
for the 18th American Legion con-
vention in Kansas.
But after all the spirit of AM
erica must be our main reliance
in staying out of war. We must
have the strong will for peace.
We must be ready to sacrifice short
run profits. We must be prepared
to stifle the natural affection that
we have for the lands of our
ancestors. We must keep our
heads
Coming at a time when atten-
tion of the nation centered on
civil war in Spain and its threat
to the armed peace of Europe,
the Kansas governors discussion
of war highlighted an address in
which he emphasized the great
tradition of tolerance" in the
United States, struck at "disquie-
ing evidence of attempts to stir up
racial anagonisns" and expressed
hope that the split in the American
Federation of Labor would be
quickly healed so that organized
workers might continue their part
in the struggle for higher living
standards"
"I emphasize your duty in pre-
serving peace" Governor Landon
told his audience, which included
perhaps 10000 visitors, many OF
whom participated in huge La
bor Day parade.
"ThoSe of us who were in the
service appreciate in way others
cannot, the utter futility Of war.
I need not tell you of its waste
it's meaningless cruelty. You know.
1.-THE legion has worked for years
for legislation to take the profit
out of war, and in the event OF
war to put everything the nation
possesses in manpoWer, industry
and resources on an equal foot
ing"
The Republican nominee then
referred, in general terms, to the
need for intelligent" anti-war
legislation, but did not otherwise
mention the measures which have
been passed or the effort to enact
laws that would prevent war prof
its or would nationalize various
essential industries in time OF con-
flict.

.FREN c H man
TO
WIN AIR RACE.
Only Crash Likely to
Stop Victories of
Foreign Ace

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 7.
(UP)-A young strapping
Frenchman who drives a
racing plane like Babe Ruth
used to hit home runs was
an established favorite against an
American field today in the $4,000
Thompson trophy race, climatic
speed dash in the 4-day national
air races.
Only engine trouble or a crash
appeared likely to halt Michel De-
troyat from winning the worlds pre-
mierre 150-mile speed classic.
And the engine of his long indigo
blue racing plant gave no sign of
anything but speed and endurance
as it thundered over a 100mile
route to whip the best America had
to offer yesterday in the $4,000
Greve trophy race.
Detroyat, who once held the
worlds land plane speed record, fin
ished seven miles ahead of the field,
and his $1,000000 Caudron- -Renault
racer was not even pushed to the
limit of its tremendous power. His
average speed of 247.300 miles per
hour-more than four miles per
minute-was approximately 26 m. p.
h. slower than the performance it
turned in in qualifying dash earli-
er in the meet. Record for the
Thompson run-which spans Is 10
mile laps-is 252 set by Jimmy
Doolittle four years ago.
Crashes have robbed Detroyat of
| four of his rivals-Benny Howard,
S. j. Whitman, r. A. Killing and Joe
Jacobson-and of II others only two
appeared to offer any kind of a
threat.
Earl Ortman, reckless tow-headed
Oklahoman, was formidable con-
tender in his Rider speedster which
reputedly is capable of 300 m. p. h
The other was Harry Crosby, stocky
little airmail pilot from Glendale
Calf, with his highly rated but
temperamental home made racer
Crosby. however, was still having
trouble with his retractable land
ing gear, which twice has locked
on him in the air, and he may not
start
A Sunday crowd of 10000 persons
still marveling at the sight of the
French plane tapping all six of its
American rivals at least once, was
brought to its feet gasping when
Jacobson and Killing cracked up in
front of the grandstand as they
tried to land.
Detroyat was just stepping out OF
his Blue Thunderbolt to receive the
crowds plaudits when Jacobson
whose quest of Bendix prize money
ended with him bailing out of ar
exploding ship, attempted to ease
his racing plane into landing
while travelling 100 m. p. h. The
415-pound white Howard special
leaped into the air as it's wheels
touched the runway, wobbled Graz
lily, struck the ground again with
tremendous force and nosed over.
