WEEK DAYS PAY NO MORE TRANSRADIO PRESS STINGING REBUKE IS DIRECTED AT KNOX AND BORAH INTERNAL DISSENSION MARKS G. 0. P. PRECON VENTION CAMPAIGN CLEVELAND, June 6 (TP).—The cohorts of Gov. Alfred Landon came back at Senator Borah and Col. Frank Knox tonight with a stinging rebuke. Campaign managers of the Idaho senator and the Chcago publisher were told that their behavior, in these last few days before the convention, is hurting Knox and Borah more than it hurts Gov. Landon. The Knox and Borah managers have been sharply attacking the silent Kansan on charges that he is little more than a New Dealer in disguise, and that he’s afraid to tell where he stands on big issues of the day. Hamilton Aroused Tonight, for the first time, there charges got a rise out of red-haired John Hamilton, manager of the Lan don campaign. Hamilton said: “We have ignored the sniping tac tics and oftentimes foolish statements from rival camps whch seemed more concerned with fighting Republicans than defeating Mr. Roosevelt. The men and women who have arrived in Cleveland appreciate this common sense policy. It has made us votes, and the more such tactics are con tinued, the more it will increase the number of Landon delegates.” • He said Landon’s nomination is certain. Then Manager Hamilton coolly predicted that his man is like wise “certain to sweep Roosevelt and the New Deal out of Washington.” Ant-Landon Republican leaders are searching desperately today for bar riers to hurl into the path of the Landon bandwagon. Forces behind, the G. O. P. presi dential nomination campaign of Gov ernor Alf Landon of Kansas are fill ing the Cleveland air with predictions of a first ballot victory for their candidate. The anti-Landon forces, battling with their backs to the wall, have combined in what appears a last frantic effort to block the first ballot victory in the hopes that an initial defeat would sidetrack the Landon boom. Called “Pussyfooter” Thousands of pamphlets, calling on convention delegates to vote against a “pussyfooter"—meaning Landon— litter the streets of Cleveland. Cam- ~ paign managers for Senator William E. Borah and Col. Frank Knox are joining forces in their convention eve attack on the Kansas governor..'•en tering their onslaught in the charges that Landon is really a Republican New-Dealer and not qualified to car ry the G. O. P. banner in November. The knti’s base these charges chief ly on the statement that Landon fa vored President Roosevelt’s work re lief program up to the time he found himself" considered ’of presdential timber. Landon’s campaign man ager, John D. M. Hamilton, had a ready comeback for the accusation. "When the New Deal first took of fice,” Hamilton said, “All Republi can party leaders supported Roose velt’s programs in an unselfish drive for recovery. When partisan politics entered the recovery picture, it was necessary, of course, for the Repub licans to draw away from New Deal support.” Hamilton, usually cautions in mak ing convention vote predictions, claims more than 400 ‘ballots for Lan don on the first convention poll. A total of 502 votes are necessary for nomination, the count having been jumped from 501 when the Republi can national committee voted to seat the two-man delegation from the Philippine Islands. Despite Hamilton’s predictions, those fighting for Colonel Knox re fuse to abandon their stand "that close to 300 Knox ballots will be cait on the first ballot. Borah campaign leaders declined to estimate their first ballot strength but were quick to deny rumors that several north western delegation leaders had offer er first-ballot support to Landon’s campaign directors. The rumored of fer, according to reports, was declin ed by Hamilton in the fear that a pre-convention bolt might enrage Borah to the point of staging a dras» tic convention maneuver which would hurt the Landon drivtfK Hamilton ii understood to have told the BoraU deserters to hold off their move until the second ballot. edenlromFses AID IN PACTS BRITISH (SECRETARY WILL ING TO SIGN NON-AGRES SION AGREEMENTS LONDON, June 6 (TP)—Great Britain’s Foreign Secretary, Anthony Eden, said tonight that his govern ment is more than willing to sign European peace pacts against all wars. Eden said Great Britain was ready now to sign non-aggression and mut ual assistance treaties with the west ern powers in Europe, including Ger many. Such a treaty would be more than welcome, Eden said, if it limited military forces in the air, as well as on land. Eden warned Europe, however, that it should maintain the League of Na tions as a bulwark of peace. He ad vised that league members should be willing to reform the league covenant to make it effective. Despite pro posals for new peace treaties, Eden believes the league can be the strong est fortress for European peace.
