SAVANNAH, GA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1936 LANDON ROOTERS SEE CANDIDACY AS “IN THE BAG” RORABACK’S PROMISE OF CONNECTICUT’S VOTE CALLED ‘CLINCHER’ KANSAS CITY, June 3 (TP).— Governor Alf Landon’s supporters are singing their premature victory songs in a hgher key today. The Londonites maintain that an announcement by Connecticut’s Re publican leader, J. Henry Roraback, has clinched the Cleveland nomina tion for the Kansas governor. Roraback reportedly announced that his state’s 19 convention votes wil go to Landon. The Connecticut Republican chief’s apparent shift to the Landon lists is especially impor tant in view of the fact that Rora back is one of the clan of powerful Eastern G. O. P. leaders who, up till now, have been noncommittal over Landon support. With Connecticut's delegation sixth on the alphabetical list by which convention voting will be polled, Lan don support from the Nutmeg state would -be significant. The Kansas governor’s lieutenants hope that the Connecticut vote will start a land slide which will carry Landon to the nomination on the first ballot. Another important angle to Rora back’s reported announcement is the fact the the Connecticut Republican leader, in the past, always has work ed in close co-operation with the pow erful New York G, O. P. chief, Charles D. Hilles.

WEEK DAYS PAY NO MORE TRANSRADIO PRESS LOSING BATTLE BY PRESIDENT ON PET MEASURE ROOSEVELT IS CONCEDING POINTS TO OPPOSING FACTIONS ON BILL WASHINGTON. June 3 (TP)— President Roosevelt is reported giv ing ground on his tax stand today. Unconfirmed reports at Washing ton say President Roosevelt, fearful that a tax bill argument will delay congressional adjournment.. until a date when congressional activities might menace campaign proceedings, has dropped his fight for high cor porate surplus tax provisions in the new bill. Seen Compromising The rumors have it that Mr. Roosevelt is willing to accept either the house bill, calling for the cor porate surplus taxes recommended in the president’s tax message to con gress, or the senate finance commit tee bill, which virtually ignores that source of revenue. The report, widespread and appar ently from fa source close to the White House, spurred senate efforts to jam the upper chamber’s bill through to day. It also served to revive hope® of congressional adjournment at the end of the week. Senator King, acting head of the senate finance committee, has an nounced that a night) session will be asked this ever ing if the tax bill has not gone to a vote by tfye usual re cess time. The uncontrovsrsial por tions of the $829,000,000 tax bill shot through the senate at record speed yesterday, the portions liable to pro duce debate having ben purposely left until todayte session.

Unless a White Hous? order tells New' Deal senators to drop their battle for high corporate surplus taxes, a large upper chamber bloc is likely to fight hare, te ac ceptance of the -president’s recom mendations, ds against the commit tee’s proposal of a flat seven per cent corporate surplus levy. The first discussions of the new tax bill had its humorous angle. That oc curred after Senator BUrbiour of New Jersey spoke on the need of duty free olive oil imports, pointing out that oliVe oil was used in the manu facture of scap.
