Hoover Gets Ovation. The real highlights of the conven-tion came on Wednesday and Thurs-day nights. On Wednesday night former President Herbert Hoover addressed the assembled multitude. Every seat was filled, every foot of standing space was occupied. The tremendous demonstration that greeted Mr. Hoover as he stepped to the front of the platform, a dem-onstration that neither Chairman Snell nor the former president could stop for more than 30 minutes, and another lasting for nearly an hour at the close of his address, thorough-ly Illustrated the place the former president has In the hearts of the Republicans of America. He deliv-ered a terrific arraignment of the New Deal, and aroused his audience to a very high pitch of enthusiasm. He did not in any way Indicate any preference as to the party candi-date, or any desire to Influence the deliberations of the convention. On Thursday the convention met twice and Immediately adjourned while awaiting the report of the resolutions committee. It was not until nine o'clock In the evening when that reDort was received, was ' k" ? 1 i ; .: ' f'.t'ri K. s i J WJrtX.-'- .v.. a-read and Immediately unanimously approved without a roll call. The bombshell of the convention, and there Is usually at least one, wished to present an Idea was heard, and every idea had one or more proponents on the committee. Each member of the committee, it seemed, had ideas for one or more planks or for complete platforms. Through Tuesday night, through Wednesday, Wednesday night and all day Thursday the committee la-bored over what was to be the pol-icies of the Republican party for 1936. Senator Borah was especially In-sistent upon a number of points in-cluding money, foreign relations and monopoly. On the money question the committee, ln the end, refrained from any mention of gold, but after the adoption of the platform and be-fore the nomination Governor Lan-don very definitely read gold into his Interpretation of the platform. Condemns the New Deal. Quite naturally the platform con-demns the present administration for practically everything It has done. It charges that the adminis-tration has dishonored American traditions; the usurpation by the President of the powers of con-gress; the violation of the rights and liberties of American citizens; the flaunting of the Integrity and authority of the Supreme court ; the passage of laws contrary to the Con-stitution; repudiation of national obligations; the creation of a vast number of new offices, and the fill-ing of these with political favorites, setting up a centralized bureauc- - Landon, Knox to Lead forG. 0. P. With Unprecedented Una-nimity Republicans Pick Party Standard Bearers. By WRIGHT A. PATTERSON Cleveland, Ohio. With a unanim-ity that was remarkable and very rare ln American politics Gov. Alf M. Landon, of Kansas, and Col. Frank Knox, of Chicago, were nom-inated by the Republican conven-tion for President and Vice Presi-dent. But It was a unanimity that was arrived at only after several days of strenuous argument regarding both candidates and platform. An argument that was at times loud but never unfriendly. It was a re-sult the new leaders of the party bad hoped for. They expressed themselves as willing to talk it all out. regardless of how long It might take, until every delegate from ev-ery state wss entirely satisfied. That result was evidently achieved. The platform was approved by the unanimous vote of the convention. Both candidates were nominated by a unanimous vote, and at the end had the support of every other dis-tinguished son of the party who had been a contestant for the places on the ticket. came Just after the adoption of the platform, and with the Introduction of John Hamilton who nominated Governor Landon. Mr. Hamilton had Just received a telegram from Governor Landon, and he read It. In that telegram Governor Landon gave his Interpretation of some of the planks of the platform. The plat-form makers, out of consideration for Senator Borah, had carefully re-frained from any mention of gold ln the money plank. Governor Lan-don said: "The convention advo-cates a sound currency . . . That, as I view It, Is a currency expressed In terms of gold, and convertible Into gold." Any mention of gold was the one thing Senator Borah had strenuous-ly opposed, and there it was definite-ly read into the platform if the con-vention nominated Governor Lan-d,o- n, and a few minutes later that Is Just what it did without a roll call and with one mighty and prolonged shout of approval. Governor Lan-don had done the thing the resolu-tions committee was afraid to do. In the same telegram he gave his Interpretation of other planks in the platform. If necessary, he pro-posed a constitutional amendment so the states might legislate for minimum wages and maximum hours for women. Another statement referred to the merit system ln which he pledged himself, If elected, the Inclusion of every position ln the administrative service below the rank of assistant secretaries Includ-ing the entire Post Office depart-ment. Then came the nomination for And the band played : President. "Hall I Hail! The Gang's All Here." But If It were to be classed as a "gang," It was a new one. The white or bald heads of previous Republi-can conventions had given place to youth. The few silvered heads to be seen were following the procession, not leading It. Youth was the domi-nant feature of the Republican con-vention of 1936. It was a serious-minde- d gather-ing of younger men and women. They were taking their politics seriously. Each one, or each group, knew the answers to the nation's problems, and right or wrong, they proposed to fight for their opinions. They were not taking orders. They recognized no boss. Each was there to do a Job as he or she be-lieved It should be dona Such a condition a condition I had never seen before ln a third of a century of attending national political conventions quite natural-ly produced an argument. It Involved the platform even more than who the candidates should be. The East and West did not see alike on many subjects. The corn belt differed with both the East and . West Delegates from each section saw the national prob-lems as they applied to their sec-tion, and youth in politics had not yet learned the necessity of com-promise. It resulted ln emphatic, but not unfriendly, argument, and meant long hours for the resolu-tions committee. Board Bandwagon. Through a week preceedlng thfr opening of the convention the man-agers of the Landon, Knox, Borah, Vandenberg and Dickinson cam-paigns had been tireless in their solicitation of support for their can-didates. There had been an effort made to combine the support of the various candidates against Landon, whose manager was claiming a nomination on the first ballot. On Thursday afternoon every candidate climbed into the Landon bandwagon, released their delegates, recom-mended that they vote for Governor Landon, and following the nomi-nating speech of John Hanllton, the Landon manager, Senator Vanden-berg, Senator Dickinson, Colonel Knox, each came to the platform to second the nomination of the governor of Kansas. There was no roll call. Governor Landon was nominated by a shout that was heard throughout the na-tion. The Republican party was unanimous in its Choice of a candi-date for President of the United States. With the exception cf a selection of a Vice Presidential candidate the show was over In the early hours of Friday morning. While the dele- -' gates and the audience did not know It, the convention had adjourned to meet again at ten o'clock Friday. Shortly after that time a roll call of the states began for the naming of Vice Presidential candidates. As usual they were numerous, more be-cause It gave delegates an oppor-tunity to make a speech before the convention than because they repre-sented any hope of a nomination. Michigan was strong for Senator Vandenberg, but the senator again announced, as he had done twice be-fore, that he would not accept such a nomination, while at the same time expressing his determination to work for the success of the ticket In the end, most of those named by enthusiastic supporters withdrew. There was one roll call, and on that call every state delegation cast Its solid vote for Col. Frank Knox, a unanimous selection as had been that of Governor Landon. Within a few minutes the entire show was over and the fight for the election of the ticket the Republl-can- s had named was on. The deci-sion will be next November. COL. FRANK KNOX racy; the making of secret tariff agreements that have flooded Amer-ican markets with foreign products; It has appealed to passion and class prejudice, and many other tilings that are viewed with alarm. Party Pledget. The first pledge In the platform promises to maintain the American system of government; to preserve the American system of free enter-prise, private competition and equal-ity of opportunity. On the subject of relief it pro-poses the return of responsibility to local organizations, with federal grants to the states and territories so long as the need Is urgont The platform condemns the pres- ent old age and unemployment in-surance laws and promises to re-place these with laws that are work-able, and that will provide for all the adult population. On the subject of agriculture the platform charges the New Deal with taking to Itself the Republican prin-ciple of soil conservation and the re-tirement of lands and approves of these things. It' pro-poses to foster and protect the fam-ily type of farm, and to promote policies that will bring about an ad-justment of agriculture to meet the needs of domestic and foreign mar-kets. It proposes to facilitate pro- duction and Increased consumption Long Hours on the Platform. The convention was scheduled to open at eleven o'clock Tuesday morning, but the gavel of Chairman Fletcher did not call the great as-semblage to order for an hour after that time. The first session was short, and consisted only of the ap-pointment of the convention com-mittees Including those on creden-tials, rules, resolutions and perma-nent organization. The resolutions committee went Into session at once with the expec-tation of reporting a platform by Wednesday night It was then that most of the argument began. All afternoon of Tuesday and well Into the night Individuals, organizations and factions were presenting plat-form planks more than half a hun-dred altogether.

Landon was noinl- - of the rising tide of INDICATIVE the Western Electric company, a subsidiary of the American Telephone and Tele-graph company, one of the largest employer! of labor ln fhe Middle West, resumed Its common divi-dends. The action followed restor-ation of the company's operationa to a profitable basis In 1935, with galne In both sales and employee. Practically the entire payment, amounting to $.'1,000,000, goes to American Telephone and Telegraph, which owns more than 00 per cent of Western Electrlc's stock. . At the company's Hawthorne works, near Chicago, 10,500 employ-ee- s were on the payroll on June 1, an Increase of 1,730 since January 1. This compares with a low of approx-imately 6,700 during 193a s AVITAL alteration of Great Britain's foreign policy, par-ticularly as it affects Anglo-Italia- n relations, was Indicated by Chancel-lor of the Exchequer Neville Cham-berlain ln an address In which he Implied broadly that England may soon move to end sanctions against Italy. Regarded by many experts as likely to become Britain's next prime minister, Chamberlain said: "Collective security based on sanc-tions hns failed." This was taken to mean that Eng. land may reverse the policy which had supported the League of Na-tion's futile sanctions campaign to halt Mussolini's conquest of Ethi-opia. In authoritative diplomatic circles In London it wn reported that Mus-solini had definitely served notice on Britain that Italy will leave the league unless the assembly meeting at Geneva on June 30 drops the antl-Itall- an sanctions program. AGRICULTURE was given the federal re-serve board through the appoint-ment by President Roosevelt of w " ; v. y'V--j nated for I'resiueni of the United States by the Republican national convention meeting In Cleve-land.

One company Increased the size of lta 10 cent loaf by 25 per cent, and another by 15 per cent. The saving to consumers was made possible by the Invalidation of the AAA processing tax, according to an official of a baking company. The tax was 30 cents a bushel on wheat, he said, and was reflected ln an Increase of from $1.23 to $1.40 a barrel for flour. At the same time, the threat of a possible potato famine, due to drouth that Is seriously curtailing crops ln the Southeast, caused uneasiness among housewives. Prices rose pre-cipitately, but eased off, because Im-mediate demand from consumers de-clined. The seriousness of the sit-uation was reflected In reports from the crop division of the Department of Agriculture that unless ratns fell soon an acute shortage will boost the price of potatoes. The carry-over this year wna small, It was re-vealed, and Maine reported only 100 carloads of last year's holdover on band. DEATn came to John nays eighty-one- , Internationally-f-amed mining engineer, econo-mist and writer, at his home at f j Chester u Davis, administrator of the AAA to that body. In discussing h I appointment, Mr. Da rli said: "The fiscal policy of the federal gov-ernment has never been tied In closely enough with agri-cultural problems." Mr. Davis has spent Gloucester, Mass. He bad lived a life high In adventure and rich In experi-ences. He was a friend and con-fidant of Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, II. Rider Haggard, Cecil Rhodes and many other figures cele-hmrp- fl In world voies. aub uoumm-Co- v. Landon tlon wai made unanimous. Although his name had not been placed In nomination, Sen-- , ator William B. Borah of Idaho re-- ' celved 19 votes, Including 18 from the Wisconsin delegation and one from West Virginia. Col. Frank Knox of Chicago, pub-lisher of the Chicago Dally Jiewa, was nominated for cn the ticket, receiving the unani-mous rote of the delegates. Party unity and harmony were the watchword of the delegates. The action of the three other leading candidates for the Presidential nom-ination CoL Frank Knox of Chi-cago, Senator Arthur Vandenberg ef Michigan and Senator Borah In withdrawing ln Landon's favor paved the way for a militant and united front In the coming campaign by the Republican party. The convention adopted a plat-form of "Americanism," pledging a board farm relief program, repeal of reciprocal tariff bagalnlng, the elimination of monopolies- - and op-position to American entry into the League of Nations and the World court. Condemning "waste and extrava-gance" of the Democratic adminis-tration, the platform declares for economy by reduced expenditures and for a balanced budget Adequate relief for the unemployed and co-operation of the states is provided. The platform demands the repeal of the present social security program for a simplified old-ag- e pension plan. Without propos-ing a constitutional amendment, It pledges support to states' minimum wage and working hour laws, aboli-tion of sweatshops and child labor, improvement of working conditions and the right of labor to bargain. It calls for restoration and mainte-nance of the merit system in civil service, regulation of business by a tribunal whose actions would be sub-ject to court review and federal su-pervision of Interstate utilities. The platform demands adequate national defense, right of free en-terprise without competition by gov-ernment, free speech, pledges care of the veterans and calls for efforts to collect the defaulted war debts. Governor Landon In a telegram read to the convention by his cam-paign manager, John Hamilton, placed his own Interpretation on cer-tain planks ln the platform. Under the title of labor he advocated a Constitutional amendment permit-ting the states to adopt legislation necessary to protect women and chil-dren in the matter of maximum Lours, minimum wages and working conditions, provided it Is not possi-ble to do so under the Constitution as It now stauds. He likewise advocated a currency expressed In terms of gold and con-vertible Into gold, adding: "I rec-ognize, however, that this requisite must not be made until and unless It can be done without penalizing our domestic economy and without Injury to our producers of agricul-tural productB and other raw mate-rials." Concerning the merit system in civil service, he suggested that it should include every position ln the administrative service below the rank of assistant secretaries of ma-jor departments and Bhould cover the entire Post Office department IN A long expected cabinet in Italy, Premier Mussolini gave out three of his eight port-folios. There are 15 posts in the Doctor Toliey mo8t of hls Ufe . agricultural activities. He was born on a farm In Iowa, was graduated from Grinnell college and later owned and operated a farm. For some yean he was a newspaper publisher and then became editor of the Montana Farmer. Mr. Davis was succeeded as AAA administrator by Dr. Howard R. Tolley. Nationally known as a soil expert Doctor Tolley helped Mr. Davis draft the soil conservation plan, enacted after the United States Supreme court decision Inval-idated the AAA. He has been carry-ing on this program during the ab-sence of Mr. Davis ln Europe. Another Important agricultural post was filled when the President nominated Emll Schram, grain ele-vator operator and farmer of Hill-vie- 111., for the post of director of the Reconstruction Finance cor-poration. New Deal was made the THE of a congressional campaign ln Alabama with the result that Luther Patrick, an ardent supporter of the administration, defeated Con-gressman George Huddleston, an In-cumbent for 22 years. Tatrlck, a lawyer, won the Ninth district nomination by about 6,000 votes after a spirited cam-paign ln which he charged Huddle-ston with disloyalty to the New Deal CALLED back to the British he left some months ago as a political scapegoat Sir Samuel Hoare was made first lord of the admiralty, to succeed Viscount Monsell Sir Sam-uel, who boldly faced a hostile house of commons last December to defend his part ln the Anglo-Frenc- h peace plan which would have given Mussolini only a John Haya hStory in the past Hammond nalf cer,tury. Mr. Hammond was born ln San Francisco, where his parents settled after the Mexican war in which his father served as a major. It was the era of the spectacular California gold rush. He watched miners pan for gold dust as a boy. After gradu-ation from Yale he set himself up as a mining engineer. Soon he vis-ited the west coast ef Mexico, be-lieving It could be developed as a mining country. He became known as an expert Judge of mining property and was sent to South Africa by "Barney" Barnato, great speculator of the last century. Hammond experienced some romnntlc adventures Including an acrimonious encounter with Paul Kruger, president of the Transvaal republic who sentenced him to be hanged and relented only on the In-tervention of the secretary of state. AFTER settling a general strike 1,000,000 workers had paralyzed the Industrial life of France, the new "popular front" gov-ernment under Premier Leon Blum was faced with further difficulties ln the form of a series of new strikes. Although the government had tolled day and night trying to adjust dis-putes and though most of the de-mands of strikers had been satisfied by employers, there was a smaller return to work than had been ex-pected. It was reported that as fast 89 strikes ln some Industries were settled, others were affected. The extent of the permanent rav-ages which will be left In the wake of this upheaval will only become apparent later on. Some observers predicted that private Industry would be forced Into bankruptcy so as to secure operation by the state. But whether Premier Blum and hla "popular front" government were prepared for such extreme measures was not at all certain.
