G.. o. p. CONVENTION WAS SPLIT
ON LANDON'S RUNNING MATE

Convention Hall, Cleveland, June -.
-(AP)-The Republican convention
divided today over a runningmate for
Governor ALT M. Landon Of Kansas in
the presidential campaign with adj
vocates of Vandenburg and Knox
working upon the delegates.
John Hamilton, the Landon mana
ger, sought to find out whether Sen
ator Vandenburg, of Michigan, would
accept if drafted" Reports after
wards were still highly confusing.
Repeatedly word spread over the
floor that Vandenburg would accept,
and then that he would not.
His own state decided to put up an
other candidate, Governor Fitzgerald.
Colonel Frank Knox, of Illinois, had
left the city, evidently believing Van
denburg would accept.
There was slight hope of repeating
at todays session last nights con-
tricution to political history when
Landon's name was the only one ever
presented, and on the roll call, he re-
ceieived a24 of the 1,O0O3 votes.
Aside the vice-presidential puzzle,
another question hung fire. what
will Senator Borah do?"
Speeding to Washington after losing
a presidential race but winning re-
cOgnition for his views in a COM
promised platform which the conven-
ton adopted, Borah was reported
stunned on hearing that Governor
I4andon had wired the convention re-
serving the right to place his per-
sonal Interpretation on two major
planks.
However, other men including for
mer President Herbert Hoover and
Colonel Knox, expressed much salts
faction over the Landon message.

REGULATIONS ALTERED
ON TRAVEL ALLOWANCE
New Rules Go Into Effect Today,
Acting Controller General B. N.
Elliott Announces.

New travel allowance regulations
imposed by Acting Controller General
Richard N. Elliott 60 into effect today.
Heretofore when employees on Gov
ernment business have used anything
above the lowest-priced first-class ac-
commodations. the Government has
paid the carrier and then collected
the excess charge from the employe,
II justified.
Now. when any employe uses . su-
perior class accommodation, the car
rier must collect the difference from
the ticket purchaser.
Elliott explains in circular that
the 1888 economy act sets up q bar
rier against an employe using other
than the lowest first-class accommo-
dation and therefore there Is no rea-
son for following the customary pro-
cedure.
The new plan will make for more
