PRESIDENT PUT
MORTGAGE ON
ALL, HE SAYS
Roosevelt Is Castinq
Workers For Role
of Santa Claus
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
ABOARD MOON SUN
LOWER sPE GAL, Oct. is
GN.S).-American farmers and
workers are cast for the role of
Santa Claus" by the Roosevelt
Administration because eventually
they must bear the burden of New
Deal waste and extravaganza, Gov
ernor Alfred M. Landon declared
today as he carried his presiden-
tial campaign into Indiana after
tumultuouS receptions in Michi-
gan.
The Republican nominee de-
clared the bonded indebtedness
of government is in reality first
mortgage on every farm and home
in this nation" In the end, he
added, it will be paid off by farm
ers and workers.
Landon said:
~ am opposed to waste, ex-
travagance and debt because 1
am opposed to the ultimate con-
fiscation Of farms and homes"
william l.. Hutchinson, national
head of the Carpenters Union
and director of the G. o. P. labor
division, meanwhile charged the
New Deal with using its influence
to control internal affairs of labor
unions.
"DictatOF Tactics" Hit
He cited the threats against
union workers in Chicago that
they would be fined if they failed
to march in the Roosevelt parade
there last night. Hutchinson
warned such tactics were similar
to those used in countries under
dictators."
The receptions given Landon in
Michigan were highly enthuS-
iastic. They won a prediction
from Senator Arthur Vandenberg,
at whose Grand Rapids home Lam
don was an overnight guest, that
the State would go oVerwhelm-
ingly Republican in November.
A crowd estimated in the neigh
borhood of 100000 lined the
streets of Grand Rapids to view
the Republican nominee last night.
At least 10000 of them damned
into two solid blocks around a
downtown hotel to hear him lash
the New Deal
Throughout Michigan, it was
the same story. Tremendous
crowds greeted him at every step.
There were 10000 at Lansing, 30
900 at Kalamazoo and compare
tive throngs in other cities.
Landon Is Cheered
Iandon was cheered enthusiast
tically every time he lambasted
the New Deal. In two places,
there were a few faint booS amid
the overwhelming applause. The
booS were traced each time to
young boys, ranging under Is
years.
Local leaders told Landon he
would carry different counties by
the greatest Republican majorities
in their history. There was plenty
of visual evidence Of Landon senti-
ment in placardS and Sunflower
badges. Frequently, signs well
coined him as THE Next Presi-
dent" Others compared him to
Abraham Lincoln.
The Republican nominee nat
urally left the State in a happy
mood. He was greatly pleased,
too, with the Endorsement given
him by Henry Ford. His pleasure
came not so much from a Ford
Endorsement but from the fact
that the nations outstanding
business man expressed belief he
had the ability to solve the ma.
tons economic problems.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Oct.
is G.N.SO.-For a short time to-
day Grand Rapids almost played
host to the Democratic and Re
publican candidates for the Presi-
dency at the same time
Their campaign trans passed
each other on the outskirts of the
city, President Roosevelt going in,
Governor Landon coming out, af-
ter having spoken here last night.
In fact, the Presidential Special
waited on a side-track for some
minutes soon after 9 a. m, to
make certain the Landon train
was clear.
Both trains were moving as they
passed. and save for the waves of
competing reporters and photog-
rapherS there was no recognition
of each other. The engineers
footed their whistles, but whether
for regulation purposes or by
way Of greeting was not apparent.
Michigan Important
The incident served to empha.
size, however, the Importance
which both candidates attach to
Michigan and it's 10 electoral votes
this year. Governor Landon cam.
paigned the State vigorously. Mr..
Roosevelt came in today for a
similar vigorous bid for the State,
with half dozen speeches, formal
and informal. on the schedule.
The first of these was brief end
eXtemporaneouS here at Grand
Rapids, made from his car at Cam.

from the train through the bust.
ness section of the city.
Grand Rapids gave the Presi
dent a cordial welcome with thou.
sands of people lining the streets
through which his parade passed.
"Gald to Come Back"
The President was introduced by
Frank Murphy, candidate for gov
ernor, amid tremendous cheers.
The President said:
Pm glad to come back here.
l have soft spot in my heart
for this section of Michigan as
it is filled with people of the
same Holland stock as / am"
He said he was trying to prac-
tice little Dutch thrift" in the
making of the Federal budget at
Washington.
AS he has done at other
places. the President briefly out
lined what the Federal Govern
ment has been and is doing to
work out of the depression,

take care care of the comedy and
everything is now smooth sailing for
the picture, scheduled to 90 before
the cameras July l.
Consider the case Of Freddie Bar
tholomew, problem child No. / Of
Hollywood. His acting in Little
Lord Fauntleroy," coupled with the
coincidental (?)-the question mark
belongs to the writer-arrival of
Freddie's mother, seeking the custody
Of her son, has placed him among
the top-notchers In box-office appeal.
But two sad facts have to be faced.
One, that as he grows older his popu-
larity will perforce diminish. Two
the contributors-in-chief toward his
success-his gentlemanly ways and
precise English accent-could, unless
controlled, prove the waterloo Of his
Aim career.
To combat the latter, Freddie will
appear in future only in films in
which he portrays tough, fighting,
100-per-cent he-boy. His current as
signment, THE Devil Is Sissy" dis
plays him in the company of Mickey
Rooney, and Jackie Cooper as a rois-
tering youngster. but with a heart of
gold. 1t is rumored his next picture
may be Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer" /"
to be produced in the near future
Evening star., 1936-06-25

by David Selznick, who owns the
rights to all the Mark Twain stories.
But this item, despite the new Bar
tholomew policy, seems slightly far
fetched, in view Of the typical Ameri-
can background of Master Sawyer.
There are probably q thousand un-
known American youngsters who have
more right to the role.
Mady Christians has another chance
to make good in Hollywood in Samuel
Goldwyn,s Come and Get It." As
Is too often the way with well-known
stage stars who attempt to storm the
film citadel, Miss Christians was given
an unsuitable role in her first hlm
here-"Escapade," starring William
Powell and Louise Raner-and as q
result received little encouragement
to remain. Her comeback Is said TO
be the result Of the boosting Of Miriam
Hopkins, one of her closest friends.
While on the subject Of "Come and
Get It." several nights ago q friend
brought 16-millimeter, amateur, col
lege- made film to the home Of Director
Howard Hawks. They sat down to
look at it, "for q laugh" as Hawks
said. When a brunette, by the name
of Andrea Leeds, former student Of
the University Of California, appeared
on the miniature screen, Hawks leaped
to his feet with q cry Of, Who Is
that girl?"

been singing away at great way
via the ether waves and who has
had at least six fan letters since he
or she began. She Git is mostly she)
after being a riot" on the radio for
the past weeks now suddenly is given
a contract to appear lin person" at
a large city theater.
She appears. She walks out onto
the stage without as much stage pres
ence as a pomeranian. When she gets
to the mike" (there is always mike,
center stage, with black drop or
a drop" of Central Park behind herr
she grabs the mike" firmly by its
neck, pushes it down, pulls it up,
smiles at the second person who ap-
plauded her as she walked on, and
bursts into song.
She sings three songs-Gt is invar-
iably three songs). First she sings
the most popular song Of the day,
then she sings the song she knows
best, and then she concludes with
"Dinah."
During all of this she has also done
three things. She has released her
grip on the mike, she has stretched
her arms out toward the audience
and twisted them this way and that
like jelly roll, and finally she has
said "hey-hey" twice when there
wasn't anything else to do.
AS she walks OF she is rewarded
with an average round of applause
but not enough to walk back again
(as she does), grab the mike again
by the neck and sing annie Laurie
because you have been so good to
me-"
Nobody has been good to her-and
she hasn't been good to herself. In
the old days it took really good
vaudeville act years to get set. Now
apparently it takes three weeks. Won't
somebody come along and agree that
the stage is still a distinct medium,
and that it requires training to become
a professional? Do we have to have
amateur hours every week in the
theater as well as on the radio?
