Alliance Believed
Undesirable for
Nominee

TOPEKA, Kans., June %.
(UP)-Gov. Alf Landon to-
day declined to comment di-
rectly on the bolt of Al
Smith and four prominent
Democrats from their party but
said graphically: "The line of de-
markation between fealty to party
and loyalty to country is some-
thing for each citizen to determine
for himself
AT the same time Landon an
nounced that he will be notified
formally of his nomination for
the presidency on the night OF
July 23rd on the steps OF the
state house at Topeka.
The attitude of Landon and his
silence toward Al Smiths plea to
the Democrats to repudiate Pres
ident Roosevelt probably was best
expressed today by Charles P. Taft,
son of the late President Taft, who
has been selected by Landon as an
advisor.
Taft said tersely: "Al Smith
means a lot of money but darn
few votes"
This was interpreted to mean
that Smiths connection with the
American Liberty League, repre-
senting wealthy eastern industrial
lists and political conservatives,
was not a desirable alliance for
Landon TO make, particularly in
view of Landon's expectation OF
carrying the liberal western states
where the liberty league is anathea
regardless of party.
Landon's comment was seen here
as being a bid to all individuals TO
support the Republican party in
the November election, streSSing
the COP. convention that con-
tinued New Deal administration
would be a menace to American
institutions and tradition.

campaign in which major
controversies of the 74th congress
are expected to be principal issues.
Republicans said they would base
their attack on the New Deal upon
many of the major acts passed
during the second congress OF
President Roosevelt's administra-

lingness tC accept the challenge.
The second session of the 74th

was informed Monday.
The bill now awaits only the
signature of President Roosevelt
to create the Greater ANA State
Park, Congressman George Burn
ham telegraphed Robert Hays, Sec
retary of the chamber of COM
merce.
The Burnham bill provides for
acquisition by the state park COM
mission of about 100000 acres of
government land embracing the
scenic parts of Coyote Mountain,
Fish Greek Mountain, Vallecito
Valley, where the former Butter
field stage station is located, and
extending on to the boundary OF
the Cuyamaca state park. Other
lands similarly brought into the
state park system are the govern
ment lands on the west shore of
Saiton Sea, extending westward t.
the present Borego state park.
R. B. Whitelaw, chairman of
the chamber of commerce natural
resources conservation committee,
explained that plans for develop
ment of roads have influenced the
Ell Centre group in its work III
behalf of the proposed park. With
the lands and roads over them

form, it was learned that admins
tration sources were discussing a
specific reference to the advisable
ity of eliminating holding compan-
les in the second degree.
One authoritative source said
that the new deal had proposed a
monopoly plank drafted along the
lines of a Democratic plank of 20
years ago. This would be similar
to proposals to the Republican con-
vention by Sen. William E. Borah
calling for flat declaration against
existence of holding companies in
the second degree. The Republi-
cans rejected that part of Borah's
plank.
Proponents of the drastic monop-
oily plank argued that it was in
line with the administration legis-
lative policy which led to re-
sounding battle last year over the
so-called death sentence" for util-
ity holding companies.
