EASTER SHOPPING
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Do your Easter shopping early If nice things you would seek; In fact you'll have to get at 1t now, To finish up this week. Never mind the weather, Just sally forth in the rain: What difference If you get all wet If it's bargain that you gain Order the Easter bunnies, The Easter lamb and ham, Get out early in the morning And avoid the afternoon jam Look around for a new suit If you find your old one won't do, And perky hat to accompany 1t With perky bunch of flowers too. Then there's daffodils for your table, New gloves and other hnery, And if you're going to do things right You'll have to visit winery. So do your Easter shopping early If nice things you would seek, Get busy now and look around, You've only got this week.

Washington, April 7.-The Lan- don presidential boom is suffering from @ mild attack of what is fac- etiously referred to in Washington as "Hearstitis."
 There is no evidence yet that this has seriously affected Governor Landon's position at the head of the republican parade to Cleveland, but 1t has given the Landon forces visi- ble concern.
 Landon's manager, John Hamil- ton, lit out of Washington for a two-week western trip and by this time should have arrived in Califor- mia, where symptoms first broke out, to apply ointment.
 Meanwhile, the enemies of the
 LandOn candidacy have been
 darting about with their paint
 brushes as if intent on making
 a minor dose of measles appear
 to be a fatal dose of smallpox.
 Democratic strategists, who re-
 gard the Kansas governor as
 the most dangerous man in the
 republican field, don't mind
 helping Landon's rivals with
 this job.
 The net reportable result is that the thousands of daily gossipy po- litical conversations in Washington may no longer be boiled down to the common denominator: Well, 1t looks as if Landon is in the bag"

Clash in California

Trouble began when Landon, upon William Randolph Hearst's in- sistence, 1t is reported, and over Herbert Hoover's vigorous objection, allowed his friends to file a pro- Landon slate of delegates in Cali fornia against an uninstructed slate which was largely pro-Hoover.
 Hooverites and other Hearst enemies in California become in- censed and some observers believed Landon faced defeat in the only primary he had entered. But since most Landon packers believe Hoo- yer secretly covets the nomination and Hearst early gave Landon his powerful backing, the decision was easy to understand.
 Lately, however, word has been coming from Wall street of a tend ency to view Landon with more askance than previously, especially in view of the seemingly important place occupied by Hearst in his campaign. Anti-Landon politicians privately preach that Hearst mustn't be allowed to dictate to the party. All this coincides with:
 l. Public attacks on Hearst by
 New Dealers, who have been
 bursting with the desire to cut
 loose. They will pull no punches,
 believing incidentally that every
 sock at Hearst is sock at Lan-
 don.
 2. Efforts of certain groups to
 trot out Senator Dickinson of Iowa, Senator Steiwer of Oregon, and others as available candidates
 Say nothing of Dark Horse"
 Vandenberg of Michigan.
 3. Increased worry over a pos-
 sible post-convention bolt by Bor-
 ah, stressed especially by anti
 Landonites.
 Landon's enemies have been 50 eager to puff up the importance of all this that no one can tell yet how seriously his candidacy is be- ing affected. His managers are try ing to find out.

THOUSANDS of years ago. when
 civilization was centered in the Orient. the hooked cross known as the swastika was used as the sym bol of religious belief in China and In India. It could be found in the monasteries of Tibet. the temples of China. and the Buddhist shrines of India
 Then. as people traveled west ward. they brought with them their beliefs and the symbols of their religions. And so the Bwastika moved with them. Today travel CTS may see this ancient cross in the ruins of Troy and on the an cient Celtic stones of Britain.
 Most famous. however. is adop. ton of the swasiika as the symbol of Nazl power In Germany At first 1t was merely the sign of the Nazi movement. but when Adolf Hitler became dictator of Germany in 1883. 1t soon became the symbol of German. .or Aryan. culture. In 1885. the swastika was made the central design of Germany's na. tional flag. At the same time. Ger.

Strand theater. No more thrilling drama of the air has come to the screen than China Clipper" which begins a three day engagement at the Strand tomorrow. A tribute to the vision, ingenuity and courage of the men who battled not only storms and fog but the timidity and prejudice of capitalistic interests to establish long distance air lines, is a brilliant chapter in the pictorial history of daring aviation.
 The exterior scenes were largely filmed right at the air base of the famous China Clipper that recently began its flights from Alameda, on the Pacific Coast near San Fran cisco, to the Philippine Islands, the giant transoceanic ship itself hav- ing a prominent part in he picture. Other exteriors were taken at Cata- lima Islands, where the tropical foliage of the Orient could be dupli- cated.
 Pat O'Brien does superb work in his role of a young aviation enthusiast and war ace who is obsessed with the inspiration to span the world by air. From a youth of fantastic dreams he de- velops into hard bitten, iron souled man who drives his fellows ruthlessly and unmercifully to at- tain his objective.

 Teeming with flesh and blood characters from all walks of life, swept up from the city streets into a cauldron of dramatic circum- stance-this is Sworn Enemy, with Robert Young and Florence Rice, 8 story of metropolitan crime oper- ations, which is the second big fea- ture on program. The pace IS swift from the opening scene and the action is whirlwind when a poor boy trying to go straight until his brother and employer are killed. See this dramatic expose of the racket rats who bleed America for a billion dollars year in "protec- tion" money. Included in the sup porting cast are Joseph Calleia, self styled villain: Lew Stone and Nat Pendleton who tend to make this one of the most melodramatic dramas ever brought to the screen.
