.LAND0N GIVEN
BIG OVATION IN
PHILADELP
Charges New Deal With
"Open and Impudent"
Waste of Money

PITTSBURGH, Oct. q. (UP).
Governor Landon today led the
Republican offensive against the
New Deal into this industrial CEN
ter for a major address in which
he was expected to flay the admin
istration on charges of having
shackled the United States with a
vast spoils system. Backing up his
accusation that President Roose-
Welt must assume responsibility
for Unconstitutional waste Of the
peoples money" to create a "sin-
lister political machine" Landon
planned to assail Farley's tactics
in his final bid for Pennsylvania's
Sc electoral votes.
CONVENTION HALL, PHlLA-
DELPHIA, Oct. 81. (UP).-Gov.
ALI M. Landon sent his campaign
for the presidency into the final
offensive last night with barrage
of charges that the New Deal is
violating the constitution by "open
and impudent" waste. of the peo-
pies money to maintain its politi-
cal power, and "create the most
sinister political machine in our
history"
Opening his "homestretch" cas-
tern bid for the 83 electoral votes
of Pennsylvania and New York,

Appointment Of
County Physician
Due In January
Political Campaign Revives
Interest in
Office

Political interest aroused in con-
nection with the appointment of a
county physician to succeed DIR.
J. H. Woodcock when his term ex-
pires next January, led to an in
quiry today as to the exact pro-
cedure required by law in making
the appointment.
Contrary to more or less gen.
eral impression, the board of coun-
ty commissioners does not appoint
the county physician. Only one
member of the board, 7. l.. Dur
ham. is member of committee
set up by law to bring about the
appointment, the other two mem
beers being Mayor A. V. Edwards
of Hendersonville, and r. G. An
ders, county superintendent OF
schools. This group names two
physicians and a dentist as mem
bers of the board Of health, and
the board of health then appoints
the county physician. The health
board serves for two years.
DR.. Woodcock is serving at pres
ent under appointment by the
state board of health because of
failure to make an appointment
locally at the time specified by
law, it was explained. Members of
the Henderson County Medical
Society had raised objections to
the designation of DR.. T. w. Sum-
ner of Fletcher, and these protests
led to DR.. Woodcock's reappoint-
ment by the state board of health.
DR.. Sumner is q member of the
Henderson County Medical So
ciety and was the only applicant
for the office.
Political observers believed to-
day that the failure to handle the
appointment locally at the time
specified by law will not be re-
peated, and that the wishes of the
county medical society, as reflect
ed in the selection of the county
health board, will govern the ap-
pointment of q successor to DR..
Woodcock next January, provid-
ed, of course, he is not reappoint-
ed.

ILLINOIS HOLDS UP
PAY Of EMPLOYEES
Democratic fractional Fight
Results in Delay of Work.
erS' Salaries.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
CHICAGO, April 3.-Nearly 80 900
Illinois State employees faced a pay
less week today as embittered factions
of the Democratic party carried their
fight over payroll padding for politi-
cal purposes" into the last two weeks
of the April IA primary election cam
paign.
Hopes that the checks withheld
from employees of departments con-
troled by Gov. Henry Horner would
be paid before Sunday were dashed by
Attorney General Otto Kerner, one of
the Governors foes in his fight for
denomination.
Kerner said he would not have an
opinion on the case ready until Sat-
urday, and perhaps not "for a week. I"
Until the opinion was issued, State
Treasurer John Stelle-Horner oppo-
nent who held up the pay checks for
April l on the grounds that 5000 pay
rollers ARE doing no State work, only
political duties" for Horner-an-
nounced he would not release any Of
the checks.
Legal moves to compel their pay
ment were threatened at the State
Capitol at Springfield, Ill.
Acting for the Governor, F. Lynden
Smith, Holuer campaign manager,
announced he was considering a man
damus action, but would first confer
with several officials before deciding" :"
w. Emery Lancaster, chairman of
the Civil Service Commission, issued
a formal demand that Stelle without
delay" yield the salaries of unpaid
civil service employees.
Asserting Stelle was violating the
law, Lancaster said he would take
legal steps If his friendly demand
were rejected.
