RAP AT HOOVER
1t was IN a letter to Martin that
Landon revealed his stand.
THE opportunity must be pro
vided," Landon wrote, "for the
convention to represent every
shade of opinion in the Repub-
lican party, from Mr.. Hoover on
one hand to Mr.. LaGuardia on
the other. I want you to know
that I cannot support any other
kind of a convention than I
have outlined above"
Then followed what was inter
preted as a shot at the former
President:
IT understand that most Of
those urging the convention are
not thinking in these terms, and
are all planning to limit the
scope of action, both on issues
and personnel"

Former President Hoover's plan
for a 1888 off-season parley was
all but thrown into the political
waste basket by the major gen.
erals of the party.
LANDON AGAINST FARLEY
Death blows against the plan
were delivered by the traditional
titular heads of the party-former
presidential candidate Alfred M.
Landon and his vice presidential
running mate Col. Frank Knox
both of whom fatty announced
their opposition.
AS an alternative, the commit
teemen are considering a policy
committee, to commit the party to
certain standards in the 1888 con-
gressional elections.
John D. M. Hamilton, national
chairman, has openly announced
his favorable attitude toward the
policy committee, and has gone
so far to suggest the detectives
for such a group.
The national committee was also
faced with some routine business.

No Cancellation But
Friend Is Worried

NEW YORK, Nov. 5 U.N.S).
The Duke and Duchess Of Windsor
will sail from France for the
United States tomorrow night as
planned, Charles E. Bedaux, the
dukes personal representative,
said today following his arrival
from Washington.
Concerning reports from Wash
ington quoting him as saying that
because of labor criticism the
chances were 9 to / against the
duke coming here, Bedaux said he
had been misquoted.
BEDAUX WORRIED
Bedaux, who was wedding-day
host to the Duke and Duchess in
southern France. revealed he had
telephoned to the Duke in Paris
and offered to withdraw as the
Dukes guide on the tour, should
his service in such a capacity
prove embarrassing.
1.-THE Duke, however, insisted
we continue with the arranged
program" Bedaux said. HE
told me: oh, don't pay any at
tention to those accusations,
Charlie: I'm just going over
there to study"
Bedaux admitted, however, he
was worried as to the possible
reaction of American industry" to
the Baltimore labor resolution,
which asked labor not to be
taken in by Summing parties pro.
Tossing to help and study labor"
The resolution was applauded by
some CLIO spokesman and by Presi-
dent William Green, Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.
MAY WITHDRAW BIDS
Some American corporations
which had invited the duke to in
spect their plants, Bedaux ex-
planned, might desire to retract
their offers because of organized
labor's criticism of the tour.

LAUGHS AT EXAMPLE
The President threw back his
head and laughed lourly. That,
he said, was a most excellent ex-
ample.
Was the President considering
any move to make speculation in
the market less dangerous?
The President considered this q
second and replied there were two
ways Of looking at that situation.
The more dangerous it is, he said,

BEAUTY

 If Roberta Jonay continues the spectacular climb to stardonl that first made her a White House guest, then put her name among New York's bright lights as a dancer, she can give personal charm a big chunk of the credit. Whatever the future may hold for the First Lady's little protege, 1t isn't likely to dim her friendly personality and the magnetism of her beauty.
 Miss Jonay's winning smile and her desire to put others at east are attributes to the charm which un- doubtedly captivated Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and has started the petite, dark-eyed girl well along on a danc- ing career.
 Slender and graceful, with glisten- ing sparkling eyes which radiate warmth and interest in what others have to say, she has none of the brittleness or affectations so often found in theatrical agents offices. Not body or brazenly, but quite simply and with 8 charming lack of self consciousness, she answered the question about figure expehcises by taking of her shoes in her agents office and doing 6 couple of rountines.
 Nov the deep knee bend is a fine exercise" the attractive south- ern girl said. But you ought to tell your readers that 1t won't do them a bit of good unless they pull their stomachs in and lift their chests when doing it.
 "You balance yourself on your toes," Miss Jonay continued, then, keeping head up and back straight, bend knees and go down to squat ting position. meanwhile contracting stomach muscles. Hold that posi- ton a second or two. Relax as you come back to the standing position.
 ITO develop the chest and keep arms from getting muscular, Mar tha Graham q study with her, you know) has us stretch arms forward, palms up, then clench. fists and turn arms outward, contracting and expanding chest as well as arm muscles. We do. this one before every dance lesson"
 Miss Jonay. saying that she didn't want to talk about what she did and what the Roosevelts said while she was their house guest. was quite willing to discuss makeup and var ious complexion routines.
