Landon Served AS
 First Lieutenant During World War

Cleveland, June l--LandOn served as . flrBt lieutenant in the World War. He never at- tempted to influence Che vet erans vote in any of his cam palgns because he was a serv- ice man.
 "A watchfuI waiting" policy was adopted by Landon as soon ss . Presidential boom was launched for him. He once said:
 Y always noticed when . jackrabblt kept sticking his head up he was likely to get knocked over sooner. The rab- bit that poked his head up only occasionally earned the respect of the hunter and made the game . lot more in- teresting."

It's a Gigantic Task, Arranging National Political COnclave; Here's How It's Done

Committee Chairman Fletcher that he wants everything on a dignified plane, the carnival aspect of the convention will be prominent.
 Downtown streets arc to be dec. orated and fioodlighted. There will be dozens of bands.
 The local committee has not quite given up It's plan for racial choruses to enliven the proceedings with fre- quent music appealing to various ra- cial groups.
 Chairman Fletcher rather looked down his nose at this plan, but un- der the Republican set-up, the con- vention committee is separate erl- tity from the party's national cor1l- mittee.
 The entertainment features, therefore, are more completely un- der local control than is the case with the Democrats, whose natiotl- al committee runs the convention as well as other activities of the party. 4

 the proceedings. A microphone has been installed at tho seat of the chairman of every state delegation. Members rising to address the con- vention need not wait for a micro- phone on q cord to be rushed to them. They will simply step Up to the mike" of their own delegation. The broadcast and the vast new amplifier system of the hall both carry his message. The temptation will be great for delegates to get their voices heard in this way by maw and the kids listening in out in Junkct Junction, Ia., or Catspaw, Ariz. Convention committeeman are a little worried about that. They can see how the convention might go on and on.
 Ralph Williams, vice-chairman Of the convention committee, who has served on conventions since that of 1918, says the rush for space for newsmen, writers, cameramen, ana radio people was three times as great as anything he remembers.
 It seemed to williams that all the i4,00O seats in the hall could have been filled by people who considered themselves entitled to press priyi- lcges, leaving the reporters and near reporters no one to cover but themselves.

 Tedious Process
 The process of making the bas- kets is long and tedious one The women make the designs on the basket from embroidery silk which is woven at the same time the grass strands are being woven
 During the weaving process, if the grass gets dry the women take damp cloth and roll the grass in that to moisten it again or run the strands of grass through bowl of water, but the making of the baskets under water $ entirely erroneous.
 Thinglet Baskets
 The Thinglet Indians select roots for basketry making in the spring of the year and after pre- oaring them for use, coil them up to be left until fall. When they are ready to use them they soak the roots and split them into strands the size desired for the size of the basket"
