TRIBUTE
Jersey Senator Says
Kansas Governor Will
Be Great President
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
TOPEKA, Kan, July 8 U.N.SO.
Governor Alfred M. Landon is a
conscientious, sincere, able, under
standing leader-he will make a
great President"
This tribute was paid the Re.
publican nominee for President
here today by Senator w. Warren
Barbour (RD of New jersey. 1t
came after the State legislature
responded with non-partiSan en-
thuSiasm to the Governors appeal
for submission OF an amendment
to the State Constitution, authoriz-
ing the State to care for its needy
and to participate in Federal so
cial security acts.
LaudS Character
In urging the constitutional
amendment, Landon declared
social security could be "built only
upon character. religion and
industry" but added that modern
problems required the people,
through their governments Ito
protect those who by reason OF
age, or other misfortune may have
claims upon u.s."
After an interview with Landon,
Senator Barbour said:
Governor LandOn Is versed
In politics, issues and human
needs. He is a revitaliZing
force in the Republican party.
This is evidenced on all sides
since his nomination. To con.
fer with him is to gain a feel
ing of confidence. He can be
entrusted with the problems Of
the Nation. He will meet them
with candOr and ability, with
a human and humane under.
standing of the pressing social
problems of the day."
Plan Amendment
The State legislature meantime
raced toward submission of the
constitutional amendment asked
by the Governor. Both State
House and Senate evidenced a
spirit of cooperation with the
Governor and observers expected
submission of the amendment by
tomorrow night.
The proposed amendment car
ried two propositions. The first
would authorize the State to ap-
propriate funds for the care Of
its aged and infirm. The second
would authorize State participa-
ton in Federal old age pension
and unemployment insurance
laws. They we're required be-
cause the Constitution now pro-
vides that counties must care
for the aged. infirm and un-
fortunate.

That will mean the ousting of

In part, Green said:

Danzig Leader Defies
Leagues 'MeddIing'

DANZTG, July 8 ONSO .-DT
Arthur Karl Greiser, who electri
fled Geneva Saturday by thumb
ing his nose in the League assem-
bly, and demanding abolition oi
League control over Danzig, today
defiantly announced:
"Henceforth we ignore the
League!"
With the Danzig crisis at fever
heat, the NaZi president of the
free city's senate told Interna
tional News Service:
"Danzig is now finished with
the League as far as allowing it
to meddle in our internal affairs
is concerned.
1--WE will no longer pay atten-
ton to Sean Lester, the League
commissioner for Danzig, except
in foreign affairs.
TO IGNORE LESTER
1--WE will ignore him COM
pletely if he attempts to inter
fere in domestic matters.
"And if the League calls us
up on the carpet, we will re-
fuse to go to Geneva.
81 assure you that Germany
stands Squarely behind u.s."
Greiser revealed that his first
act on returning here from Ge
neva, where his speech and &C
tions injected new dynamite in
the Danzig issue, was to clamp
O three months ban on two op.
position newspapers.
At the same time, Danzig Nazis
have begun campaign to ostra
cize Lester with the object OF
forcing him to resign.
Election Demanded
Suppression of the newspaper;
followed issuance of a joint appea
by parties opposed to the Nazi'
for an election to provide "oppor
tunity for the people of Danzig tt
register their support of the con
stitution."
Lester, butt of a sharp attacE
by Greiser at Geneva, appeared
unworried by the situation. Wher
he arrived here yesterday he re
fused to ride by automobile from
the railway station to his offices
and walked instead.
Greiser called an emergency

Huge War Chest u
In Budget

LONDON, July 8 U.N.SO.-The
task of strengthening British de-
fense forces was speeded today as
the government maintained seri-
Gus view of the European situa-
ton, sharpened by the Danzig
crisis.
It was learned that as much as
100000 pounds sterling $35, ,O0O,-
000) will be allotted to the British
army for mechanization and mod
ernization. The air ministry is
expected to request an additional
100000 pounds ($5O,000,00O.
Budget Raised
The total amount of supple
mentary estimates for the armed
forces is unknown, but 1t is be-
lieved total of 10000, 900 pounds,
instead of the 100000 900 pounds
estimated by Chancellor of the
Exchequer Neville Chamberlain
when he introduced the budget,
will be reached.
Nervousness over the European
outlook was reflected by the Lon
don Daily Mail, which stated Ger
many is now ready for war after
three years of preparations cost
ing 1,600,000,000 pounds (S8,000,-
100000.
The paper added diplomatic
circles are perturbed by the con
temptuous silence" of Berlin to
Britain's repeated requests for an
answer to the British question

foreign affairs.
Eden Rests
It was stated Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden is taking a weeks
rest not only on orders of his
physicians, but because the Cabinet
wants him in first class condition
when he attends Nhe Forthcoming
Locarno conference in Brussels.
The cabinet is said to fear the
present European tangle will be-
come worse next month.
Eden will spend the week of rest
in secret hideaway, sleeping and
playing tennis, one of his favorite

To-dayS Sport Parade

Omaha last summer. Just before they went to the first tee, Miss Rob- ,nson'S aunt, who accompanies her nie,e to all the tournaments, and who shepherds Patty Q bit when her mother isn't along, learned that Patty's father was desperately Ill in Minneapolis, and that Patty might be called home any minute.
 The aunt told Lucille, but warned her not to tell Patty.
 "There's no use of the child know ing about her father unless they call her home. It will upset her game, bless her. So don't mention it to her"
 Worry Hurts Game
 Lucille didn't tell Patty, but her worry for her friend ruined hel own game. Each time she saw telegraph boy on the course (usual- ly after Q reporters copy) she thought 1t was sorrowful summons for Patty. As Q result, she couldn't drive, chip nor putt. And she might have won, all things being equal, for her usual game would have beaten Patty's winning score.
 patty's father is hale and hearty now, SO Lucille will Do out for Q win today, but even if she doesn't get it, she won't feel bad, for her victory over the defending champion, Mar ion Miley, was satisfaction enough for one tournament. Her win over Miss Miley came yesterday, just af- ter the announcement of the per- sonnel of the Curtis cup team for the international matches with Great Britain ct Glen Eagles, scot- land. Miss Miley was on it-Miss Robinson wasn't. Or can't you read between the lines?
 Patty, tho titan tomboy, con- tlnues to be the biggest drawing card women's golf ever saw. This tournament here is typical. They've been holding !t eleven years now, and the crowd that has tagged ct Patty's heels this week Is bigger than the combined galleries of the past ten years. They go for the freckles, the red hair, the snub nose, and the swaggering little walk that is Patty.
 Her behavior yesterday, just be- fore she started her semi -final round match, is typical of the manner which makes her popular.
 It was cold, and 1t was raining hard, but out she went to the prac- tice green, sweateFless, hatless, and thoroughly unconcerned about the weather. And when she started of the first tee, and friend offered her an umbrella. she smiled and said; Umbrella? Why2" They do say Q champion goes in all kinds of weather and likes 1t.
