WASHINGTON While it is an okf political strategy to put up the biggest possible front before any convention, nevertheless there are somt very strong supporting factors behind the Landon camp's -boast that the nomination is "in the bag." It probably has escaped most people, but those two old master hands at collecting southern delegates dele-gates C Bascom Slemp and Charley Hilles now have the Dixie Dix-ie delegates securely in their pockets, and These delegates all are tagged Landon." This fact alone is the tip-off. C. Bascom and dapper Charley do not back- losers. They always play the winner. Throughout the winter, while lining up their southern cohorts, they remained friendly to all candidates but did business with none. They wanted to see which way the wind blew. Several weeks ago they decided the Kansas cyclone was blowing Strong. Also they figured that if the midwest Progressives were given their man in 1936, the Eastern East-ern Tories could pick theirs in 1940. And 1940 is the year the most astute GOP bosses really are heading head-ing for. Naturally they wont admit ad-mit it publicly, but they exude no optimism on the chances of' tte-"" feating Roosevelt in 1936. All this does not mean there will not be hot battling at the Cleveland convention.

' 2 ENTOMBED MEN AWAIT RESCUE CREW Twisted Mass of Steel Is Final Barrier To Be Removed MOOSE RIVER, N. S., April 22 (U.R) Rescue crews sawed feverishly today at a twisted mass of old steel which seemed to be the last barrier separating them from Dr. D. E. Robertson and Alfred Al-fred Scadding, who have been entombed 141 feet underground under-ground in an old mine for 233 hours. At 3 p. m., E.S.T., the miners min-ers still had not penetrated the mass of twisted steel. They could hear Robertson and Scadding talking behind the barrier, and called greetings greet-ings to them. At 4:25 p. m., E. S. T., it was reported that Dr. Davis had been able to reach through the twisted steel barrier and administer hypodermic hy-podermic injections to Dr. Robertson Robert-son and Scadding to ease their pain. Nothing was announced as to the men's condition. The opening through the barrier bar-rier was stil ltoo small fdr the rescuers res-cuers to pull the two out into the shaft, but they hoped to get to get in -an hour or les. MOOSE RIVER, N. S., April 22 (U.R) Rescue crews, risking their lives in a crumbling shaft, were reported report-ed today to have broken into the mine tunnel in which Dr. D. E. Robertson and Alfred Scadding have been entombed with the body of a dead companion compan-ion for more than nine days. Fragmentary reports brought to the surface indicated the rescuers had made only a small opening at first, and that it might take some time to enlarge the passage .sufficiently .suf-ficiently to take the men out of their prison 141 feet below the surface.

Apprised of the honor shown h i m, Commander Ray Murphy of Iowa, has forwarded his deep appreciation appre-ciation to Mr. and Mrs. Singleton Sin-gleton at Provo. "Among the honors accorded ac-corded me during my term as national commander, none exceeds that of the Singleton Single-ton family in naming their new born son after me," writes the commander. "I must confess I thought I was happy in having the city of Montreal, Canada, rename re-name one of its streets in my honor but this glory fades in comparison with that accorded me through my namesake, Ray Murphy Singleton." The commander sent his personal regards to Mrs. Singleton and the family. STREET PAVING AREA OUTLINED More Than 70 Blocks To Be Surfaced in Northwest Part of City. Receipt of a detailed map from the state road department, setting set-ting out a 6 and 38-100 miles surfacing sur-facing project in the northeast section, gave the Provo city commission com-mission assurance Wednesday that the long-awaited job can start in approximately one month. The commission will pass a resolution to create a district Thursday. Delay after that time will be the time necessary to advertise ad-vertise notice of intention and notice to contractors. Preston G. Peterson of the state road commission com-mission said that the state can start publication within a few days. The state and the city publish pub-lish such notices simultaneously, as a matter of law. It takes 21 days to advertise notice of intention to create a special improvement district.

COLLECTION SYSTEM HIT BY AUDITORS Delinquencies Scored In Audit Of Accounts Of Provo City A need for more intensive collection rnethods for the it-rigation it-rigation department, lighting and paving districts and water wa-ter accounts in Provo city, is reported in the biennial audit, which was submitted to the city commission Wednesday by Beesley, Wood and Co. These accounts show unusual delinquency, the auditors point out. Drives for better collection have already been instituted in the city, however. Mayor Mark Anderson initiated a drive on special improvement delinquencies in January, and Commissioner W. P. Whitehead has tightened up on the water department collections. Better Cash Position There has been an improvement improve-ment of $79,829.77 in Provo city's cash position in the years of 1934 and 1935, the audit states. Mayor Anderson, however, pointed out Wednesday that we should not consider our financial condition good for this reason. This betterment in cash position has come about by tax sale redemptions re-demptions and increased current tax collections, he said. "We should not consider our financial condition good until we have reduced our large general obligation debt," he said. The audit shows that the total Provo city debt is $645,700. anil the city has fixed assets of $940,-000. $940,-000. General obligations and waterworks wa-terworks bonds come to $537,500. A decided improvement in the handling and billing of the water accounts was noted in the audit, and the ' city commission was commended for progress in the in crease in combined surplus oT all funds. "Generally speaking the books of account" in the city are well kept," the audit states. Some minor bookkeeping recommendations recommenda-tions are made. Ample fire, automobile and liability lia-bility insurance is being carried, the auditors believe.

Hurdles Event Attractive The 400 meter hurdles, an Olympic event, provides perhaps the most gruelling track test in the program. The event promises to be particularly attractive to the expected throng because of its novelty in this part of the country, as well as because of the fact that the storied Jim Miller of U. C. L. A. who has established a mark of 52 seconds, and Dale Schofield, himself a national low hurdles champion will offer Morris Mor-ris wonderful competition. The pole vault should be even more spectacular and gives every promise of establishing a new world's record. With the exception of Keith Brown of Yale the best vaulters in the world will compete and Earl Meadows of U. S.
