the rabid anti-Graham alumni of the

LAND0N HAS HOUR
WITH ROOSEVELT
Christmas, Fishing and Other
Personal Matters Dis
CuSSed.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

For nearly an hour, President Roose-
Welt and Gov. ALI M. Landon of
Kansas, Republican presidential
candidate in the last campaign. sat
chatting this morning at the Presi-
dents Office at the White House.
When Gov. Landon left the execu-
tive Office he said the conversation
had to do principally with inconse-
quential personal r4atters, and that
they did not touch on politics, relief,
agricultural problems or the drought.
When asked by newspaper man If
they did not reminisce little about
the campaign, the Governor replied
not exactly"
Christmas q Topic.
1.-THE President is looking wonder
fully WE'LL Gov. Landon said. I'VE
didn't talk much about anything. We
talked about Christmas and about
children. The President told some
stories about his grandchildren. Then
he told me about his recent visit to
South America. which he seemed to
have enjoyed greatly
At this point, the Kansas executive
was asked if any foreign subjects or
matters of international moment were
brought into the conversation, and he
replied in the negative.
Resuming his account of the con-
versation, Gov. Landon said:
81 guess we talked more about fish
ing than anything else. The Presi-
dent told me about the fishing he in
dulged in on his trip to South America.
This gave me an opening and I proudly
told him of some fishing did in
Florida. Then the President warmed
up to the subject and told me some
more of his experiences and I told
him some more Of mine. So you see
we did lot Of swapping of fishing
lies"
The President and Landon had met
only once before-at Des Moines on
September 3. when the Governor was
among Midwestern officials attending
Mr.. Roosevelt's drought conference.
The campaign then was nearing its
height.
The President and his distinguished
guest sat with their chairs drawn
closely together near Mr.. Roosevelt's
desk. Both wore business suits.

MRS. SIMPSONS
PLANS REVEALED
Will Not See Edward Until
Divorce Is Absolute, Host
Tells Reporters.
BY the Associated Press,

CANNES, France, December al
Wallis Warfield Simpson cleared away
the mystery surrounding her imme-
date future today with a plain indi-
cation she would not see the man
who gave up the throne Of England
for her until her divorce is absolute.
The statement that Mrs. Simpson
was remaining at her haven in Cannes
for several months" and there Is
absolutely no possibility" she will see
Edward Of Windsor until Spring was
made by Herman Rogers, her Riviera
host, as Mrs. Simpson held formal
press conference for the first time in
her life.
In the end 1t turned out to be more
OF a social reception than an inter-
view. Adroitly Mrs. Simpson dis
cussed the beauty Of the Riviera, the
weather and the dangers of driving
over mountain roads.
With gracious. happy air she
joined in the general conversation
in the beautiful gardens of Mr.. and
Mrs. Rogers Villa Lou Wei yesterday
afternoon. but she left it to her host
and spokesman to answer the two
questions all the world was asking:
When would she see the Duke Of
Windsor?
When would they be wed?
The answer to the first was not
"for several months" and to the sec
ond only silence.
Silent on Marriage Plans.
Rogers declined to discuss any mar
rage plans, but he left the impression
she would join the ex-monarch after
April and shortly after become his
Duchess of Windsor.
Under the Brilliant Mediterranean
sunshine the talk turned to Christmas
and Christmas trees.

been assisting her hostess in prepar-
