TOPEKA, Kans., September 19.-
Gov. ALI M. Landon summoned ad-
visers yesterday for what aides termed
a last-hour overhauling Of his Des
Moines, Iowa, speech on agricultural
problems.
The Republican presidential nomi-
nee's consultants at the executive
mansion were Representative Clifford
r. Hope of Kansas, head of the Re-
publican National Committees farm
division, and Earl H. Taylor, his as
sistant. Landon viii speak in Des
Moines Tuesday night-his first major
talk on farm matters.
This subject was discussed by the
Governor with more than 80 editors
of agricultural journals at q luncheon
given by Senator Arthur Capper Of
Kansas, and which aides said had
been suggested by Hope. Both before
and after an address to a national
conference of young Republicans yes
terday, the Governor attended the
meeting.
Listens to Discussion.
Relaxing in his chair at times, and
then leaning forward as if to catch
every word, Landon listened to the
discussion for well over an hour.
Twice he talked-both times of the
record"
For clues to the candidates own
position, headquarters officials would
refer only to past statements. In his
acceptance address, Landon advocated
benefit payments and stressed what he
called "the loss of markets, both at
home and abroad Travelling toward
Topeka from his Portland, Me, ad-
dress, he urged a "far more ag-
gressive" Federal-State program for
water and soil conservation.
Near home, in a Ft. Madison, Iowa,
rear-platform talk to farmers, he
said:
Your rich lands are capable of
producing more than they have been
permitted to. Why shouldn't they
have a chance to? And why have the
markets been thrown away for even
the present crop?"
Landon was presented variety Of
views by the farm editors.

GARDEN CITY, N. Y, September
19.-Jack Mclean, 25-year-old Scotch
whisky salesman, rallied sensationally
on the incoming nine to become 2 up
on Johnny Fischer, American Walker
Cup star from Cincinnati, after 18
holes of their 36-hole final match
for the United States amateur golf
championship today.
Mclean, firing Britain's foremost
challenge since Harold H. Hilton won
the title 25 years ago, won four of
the last six holes of the morning
round to make up a two-hole deficit
and gain a sudden advantage over the
American, who had led through the
early stages.
A gallery of 1,500 spectators cheered
the Scot as he dropped a 9-foot putt
for birdie 2 on the eighteenth green
to double his margin, after being con-
ceded a birdie by Fischer on the
seventeenth.
Mclean. finishing the incoming
nine in 36, even par, had a medal

was 39--41-80
Fischer Limps Slightly.
Fischer, limping slightly from a
sprained left ankle, twice gained and
lost two-up leads. The Cincinnati

LEAGUE ROW DUE
OVER ETH|OP|ANS
Split of Powers on Plan to
Bar SeIassie ENJOYS
Is Threatened.
ey the Associated Press.

GENEVA, September 19.-Large and
small countries in the League of Ma
| tions threatened to split today over
the question of admitting Ethiopian
delegates to League Assembly session
Monday.
The League Council, which met in
preliminary discussion yesterday, ten
tatively approved a proposal to vel
come Italian diplomats but to shut
the door in the face of Emperor
Halle Selassie's representatives.
tItaly, seeking to have Ethiopia s
League membership Cancelled because
Ethiopia is no longer a "self-goveln-
ing" country since annexation by the
Rome government, has declared she
will hold her diplomats at home
rather than have them seated at the
same table with the Ethiopians)
The Council action. dominated by
the larger powers, was defended on
the ground European security-Ital-
ian collaboration in Europe's peace
efforts-is of greater consequence than
the position of Ethiopia inside the
circle of nations.
But representatives of the smaller
powers, apparently preparing to OBJ
ject when the Assembly convenes next
week, professed to see in Ethiopias
fate an example of what might hap
pen to them.
Uniformed circles in Geneva have
described the tentative council pro-
posal as a compromise arrangement
which would permit Italy to join the
League debate but which would, at
the same time, avoid any official ac-
ton on Ethiopia's membership.
(Any official action on the right of
the Negus' delegates to appear at the
session would, in the opinion of some
international diplomats, lead to the
serious problem either of accepting
the Italian annexation of East African
territory or refusing to grant Italys
request with subsequent absence of
the Rome delegates.)
The council was summoned to meet
again this afternoon to discuss sub
mitted proposals to reform or amend
the League covenant in an effort to
bolster international security. After
the session, the council was expected
to adjourn until next Thursday to
permit the assembly to meet Monday.

McLean's sensational short game.
Mclean, who squared the match at
the eighth and again at the four

at the eleventh and twelfth. He
dropped puts of 20 and 10 feet or
these two holes at time when he
was two down and strictly ION the

Thus fortified, Mclean won the
thirteenth with birdie, negotiated
a partial stymie to square the match
on the next and outshot the American
on the last four holes. Fischer halved
the fifteenth and sixteenth, but sliced
shot against the wire fence bounding
the course, on the seventeenth, and

HOOVER DEFENDS

Record Refutes Critics of
F. B. l., Director Tells
New York Meeting.

Without mentioning the recent
Secret Service spying" incident. J.
Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, today deliv-
cred scathing attack on certain
sources" which, he declared, were
guilty Of "maliciously untrue state
ments" regarding gunplay by his
G-men.
In New York address, carried to
Washington listeners by radio, Hoover
told the third National Convention of
Holy Name Societies of forces of belit-
tlement" that have attempted ito
undermine the efforts of an efficient
organization.
I'VE have heard that it was a
shame to kill a nice young man like
John Dillinger," Hoover asserted.
I'VE have recently heard from certain
sources, which should be aligned unaI-
terably with the forces of law enforce
ment rather than lending aid and
comfort to the foul hordes of crime,
that the special agents of the F. B. I.
have a habit of running wild. of
shooting men on sight and of issuing
orders to kill this. that or the other
person.
Nine Slain in Three Years.
There Is only one way to answer
such maliciously untrue statements
and that is to look at the official rec
ord. In only nine cases in three
years have we found it necessary to
shoot and kill dangerous criminals
and then only in the protection of our
own lives.
"Of these nine persons practically
every one was wanted either for muir
der or kidnapping. At least four of
them had previous record of having
murdered from one to several police
officers. All but one had a previous
record OF having shot their way out
OF the hands of law-enforcement off,
cials who had attempted to arrest
them, and all but one had a record of
having escaped jail or prison.
We make no excuses for the kill
ing OF these persons, but we do have
the greatest reverence for our own five
special agents who died on the field
OF battle, shattered by bullets from
guns in the hands of desperate
gangsters"

shells crunched viciously into the
blood-spattered Alcazar today. Gov
ernment gunners sought to demolish
fragments Of the Fascist refuge where
1000 insurgents were estimated to
have met mutilating death by ex-

-Four government cannon rained
steel into the battered fortress

arrival of new supplies of ammunition
in preparation for an infantry assault

BACKGROUND
The ancient Alcasar at Toledo,
Which is in ruins, began its history
as an Arabic lookout position more
than 1900 years ago. The ground
has been held by Romans, Hebrews
and Nordic invaders in a series of
occupations.
As the procession OF peoples
trooped through, each left its mark
on the fortified palace Which began
as a fortified lookout.
Succeeding rulers took oper the
former residence of their predeces-
sors and each added buildings or
decorations to the structure.
Under Napoleon, Toledo fell into
the hands OF the French, t0ho
turned the structure into barracks
for troops.
The Spanish government took
oper the buildings and established
a military academy.

PRINTERS UNION
SUPPORTS c. |. 0.
Moral and Financial Support
Voted Lewis Faction in
Labor Split.
Ey the Associated Press.

The John l.. Lewis rebels" who
were suspended from the American
Federation OF Labor received pledges
of support from two sources today.
The International Typographical
Union. meeting in convention at
Colorado Springs, sent a promise OF
moral and financial support" to the
Lewis Committee on Industrial Or
ganization.
Meantime, the California State Fed
Grafton of Labor voted unanimously to
support the c. I. o. It formally op-
posed the action of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor's Executive Council
in suspending 10 unions affiliated with
the c. ]. o. for rebellion"
The suspension followed an internal
A. F. Of L. quarrel over organization
methods. The Lewis Committee wants
to organize all workers in each mass
production industry into one big in
dustrial union, blotting out craft lines;
the dominant A. F. of L. faction be-
lieves many workers should be or
ganized according to their separate
crafts.
/. T. U. Not Suspended Union.
The International Typographical
Union was not one Of the 10 suspended
unions, because it was not formally
affiliated with the Lewis Committee
although the I. T. U. president,
Charles P. Howard, is secretary of the
Lewis group.
However, at the time Of the suspen-
sion order, the Typographical Union
came in for some critical attention
from the A. F. of l.. Executive Coun-
Gil. The council directed William
Green, federation president. to ask
Howard by what authority he had
participated in the Lewis committees
work.
Green went to Colorado Springs and
addressed the Typographical Union
convention Thursday, pleading for
unity within the federation. He asked
that Lewis and his supporters employ
"the true democratic method" by abid-
ing by the federation,s stand until the
next federation convention, at Tampa,
Fla.
Howard Upholds C. !. O.
Howard replied that opponents OF
the Lewis committee "wilfully forget
to mention" that the sole aim of the
committee is to bring new members
into the federation.
Yesterday the typographers passed
a defiant resolution accusing the fed
eration's executive council Of ''usurp-
ing power specifically reserved to reg
ular conventions of the A. F. of L."
It instructed the unions officers to
protect" the unions rights "as an
affiliate of the A. F.. of L.
Thus the Typographical Union re-
mains in the American Federation of
Labor, but becomes an ally Of the
suspended unions. What punitive
action A. F. Of L. leaders may take, If
any, was not indicated.
Membership of the union, officers
said, is almost 10000"
The resolution was adopted by q
voice vote. Woodruff Randolph, secre-
tary of the convention, estimated it
