 AGAINST LANDON

Aberdeen, s. D., July 10.-(UP)-- Refuging to support Gov. Alfred M. Iandon's presidential candidacy, J. J. Fitzpatrick resigned today from the South Dakota republican state central committee.
 Fitzpatrick, who declared, "1'm no rubber stamp party man." said he could not support Landon for what he termed Ian about face" on agriculture, unemployment relief and regulation of business.
 "Once a bitter critic of President Roosevelt and the Roosevelt pro- gram" Fitzpatrick said, "Landon now is pledged to a platform ein- bodying the New Deal principles m nnly slightly modified form.
 sEither he is unfair in the past or the sincerity of his conversion to those principles is open to qeus- tlon," he added.

 TyplcaI of Others
 Her attitude was typical of the i6 farm women with whom l talked in . hundred mile drive back and forth across Brown county, formerly one of the most prosperous grain areas in the state and now mostly parched fields and dusty roads. Three weeks of drought and daily temperatures of 100 and higher have put double burden on these Btauncn farm women. Grain that should be waist high and just turning amber is only ankle high and burned brown. 4 few fields have been cut in desper- ate effort to defeat the drought but the shocks are pitiful piles, not the high golden mounds Of other years. T mend and darn and wash and iron oftener," Mrs. schlick said, "so we won't look hard iip. 4 womaii's got to help her man."
 First Settlers Here
 Her family. Norweglans, were among the first settlers in the sotlth- ern part of the county, homestead- ing theirf 260 acre place in 1871.

With the Federal Social Security Boards recent
approval of the Indiana act more than 100000 per-
sons in 30 states and the District of Columbia will
receive aid in the form of monthly cash payments
under the cooperative Federal-State system.
Indiana will receive allotment of Federal funds
to match, dollar for dollar, its expenditures for
assistance to the needy aged and needy blind It
also will get dollar from the government for
every two dollars it spends on dependent children
1t is estimated that than $4,000 individuals in
the state will be helped. including 344OO aged $40

$21O6, and to dependent children, $780, The total
cost is figured at $559,3OO month.

of its aged and dependent citizens to help and how
much to help them. 1t complied with Federal re-
strictions to get Federal assistance The RESPONSE

JUST WARMING UP

1T wouldn't be campaign if ex-senator Jim Reed
Il of Missouri weren't rarin about with bagful
of adjectives. For years he has Embossed his bonn
biatng fire of invective-against Wilson, Hoover,
Al Smith, his cousin Dave Reed and many another
public man in both his own and the Republican
parties. Whenever there's political scrap, his
voice rolls out of the Ozarks and it's always a
gamble what victim it will strike
This season it is leveled against the Rooseveltian
New Deal Speaking before some Illinois farmers
he called the New Deal crooked" vicious" de
structve" idioc," "nlbecilc," oppressive" "atro-
cous," Infamous" and in fine and frenzied anti
climax 'regrettable."
Now, to casual observer these might appear
to be immoderate, rough turbulent vehement vio-
lent passionate. furious. raging, ungentle words.
But If you knew Jim Reed of Missouri you would
realize that he's just warming up for the cam
paign.
