GIANT ZEPPELIN HEADS
FOR FRIEDRICHSHAFEN
NEW YORK, June 26 (TP)—The
rising sun picked out the silvery Zep
pelin Hindenburg as it droned across
Ireland this morning (London Time).
The big airship was on her course
and speeding for Friedrichshafen and
the end of her third eastward voy
age across the Atlantic. Intermittent
dispatches from the Hindenburg car
ried no comment on an absurd report
that ran around the world last night.
The report said the Zep had come
to disaster of fthe northeastern Unit
ed States coast. Prompt work by
radio quashed the rumor. The Hinden
burg will moor toda. at Friedrich
shafen, where Germany is staging a
whopping reception for fighter Max
Schmeling, one of the Zeppelin's 46
passengers.

“DO NOT DISTURB” SIGN
GRACES LANDON’S
CAMP
ESTES PARK, Colo., June 26 (TP)
Governor Alf Landon put on an old
flannel shirt today, donned his vavo
rite fishing hat and headed for a
stream swarming with trout.
The Kansas executive gave orders
at the McGraw ranch where he and
his family are vacationing that he
doesn’t want to be disturbed. Said
Landon:—"l want to lead a flannel
shirt life for the next nine days.”
The governor and Mrs. Landon
smiled appreciation when the valley
in which the ranch house snuggles
was renamed “Landon valley.” Mrs.
Landon said she would get in plenty
of horse back riding down that valley
before she and the children return
to Kansas.
A staff of Landon’s campaign aides
is expected to arrive on the ranch to
day. The Republican presidential
nominee said, however, that they
have their work al cut out for them.
He is going to take a rest.
WALMSLEY LIVES
UP TO BARGAIN
PROMISE TO RESIGN AS
MAYOR OF NEW OR
LEANS MADE GOOD
NEW ORLEANS, June 26 (TP).—
Mayor Semmes Walmsley prepared
today to complete his bargain with
his political enemies, the Huey Long
forces, by stepping out of office.
The New Orleans mayor became a
bitter foe of the Long administration
after the late Senator all but stripped
the Crescent City of self government-
Walmsley offered to resign in favor
of a Long man if self government
were restored.
The state administration immedi
ately accepted conservation commis
sioner Col. Robert Maestri who was
selected to take Walmsleys place. The
mayor says he will hand Maestri the
keys to the city hall next Tuesday.

LIBERALS RALLY
TO AID KAPLAN
PRINCIPAL IN “ONE-MAN”
DEMONSTRATION DE
FENDED BY PARTY
NEW YORK, June 26 (TP)—Liber
al organizations rallied today to the
defense of Philip Kaplan—who stag
ed a one-man demonstration against
high school graduation exercises.
Kaplan denounced the high school
principal, Dr. Henry Hein, because
the school held up diplomas that be
longed to two pupils who engaged in
a “peace strike.” Dr. Hein said the
diplomas would not have been award
ed to the two children, anyway. He
said they were withheld for other
reasons.
Kaplan shouted his protest and was
dragged from the hall by police. He
was badly bruised and his face was
rut when he appeared in court. The
International Labor Defense and the
American Civil Liberties Union back
ed Kaplan today and announced their
intentions of swearing out assault
warrants for the policeman who ar
rested him.
“REDS” TO FAVOR
TRADE UNIONISM
COMMUNIST CONVENTION
SWIVGS INTO ACTION
FAVORING LABOR
NEW YORK, June 26 (TP). —The
Communist party swung its ninth
convention today solidly behind the
fight for trade unionism in the steel
industry. At the same time, Commu
nist leaders are preparing speeches
for today’s sesion—backing unioniza
tion drives among automobile and
rubber workers. The mob riot at
Gadsden, Ala. stirred the delegates
deeply, and a resolution probably will
be offered today in condemnation of
the affair. Union men have already
dispatched petitions asking White
House intervention to punish the
mobsters who maltreated the union
rubber organizers in Alabama.
The Communist convention is the
first in the history of the party to
which newsmen have been formally
invited. General Secretary Earl
Browder has drafted proposals which
probably will be adopted and laid in
the platform to support him and
James Ford as candidates for presi
dent and vice president of the
United States.
