(ff) -Summoning taxpayers to defeat President Roosevelt, Alf M. Lan don told a Pennsylvania throng tonight "the little fellow" must pay for new deal "waste and i extravagance" which "violates the constitution." The republican presidential nominee added, in its birthplace; preservation of the constitution" and "a free and popular. govern ment" the fundamental issue of the presidential campaign. "This administration," Landon shouted to an audience which jammed 15,000 Convention hall seats, packed all available stand ing, room and overflowed into the streets outside, "wields the same axe which has destroyed the lib erties ot much of the old world; an unbalanced budget, inflation of the currency, delegation of power to the chief executive, de struction of local self-government. "Let. us then, here In Philadel phia, where the charter of our liberty was born, make this high resolve. Let us take an oath that the bell which rang here one hun dred and sixty years ago shall not have rang in vain." Extended Ovwtion - fv X Given Candidate ' A burst of cheering and waving of thousands of American flags flags swept the big oval hall, bril liant with banners, and thousands of waving American flags, as the Kansan's closing words echoed within the same walls where as sembled democrats nominated President Roosevelt four months ago. - A deafening six minutes ova tion welcomed Landon to the spot-lighted stage. After waving and smiling a greeting, he was forced to begin several times be fore the crowd quieted. His first words prompted new outbursts of applause. Still hoarse from hi cold, but speaking forcefully and loudly, Landon was cheered when he said he was going to discuss waste and "this administration's open and impudent use of public money for political purposes." "Go after him, Alf," shouted a voice from the gallery as Lan don said responsibility for using "the people's money to create the most sinister political machine of our history" rested upon Presi dent Roosevelt. "No words of idealism, no claims of good intentions, shift the responsibility for the ma chine,'! the Kansan said. "The re sponsibility rests upon one man and one man alone." To his demand "who is going to put an end to this extrava gance" came in huge volume a chorus "we are" phrase picked up from Landon's own lips. "When I Take Office" Brings More Cheers "When I take office as chief executive," the governor began at one point to list his pledges, only to be broken by a new roar of cheering.

Oct. 2 .- Representatives of 37,000 coast maritime workers announced to day a strike would be called Wed nesday at midnight unless "fun- damental Issues" were settled, while both employers and unions criticized the United States mar itime commission which opened and quickly adjourned an Investi gation. Both sides telegraphed the com mission in Washington protesting action .by Rear Admiral Harry G. Hamlet, commission representa tive who adjourned the initial in vestigation session. He said wished to give representatives of each side more time to negoti ate. The representatives said that no such meetings were scheduled. Later shipowners and sailors met briefly, but after the meeting the sailors union dispatched a tele gram to the maritime commission charging the shipowners refused to negotiate. Claims Acceptance Prevents Negotiations The telegram quoted , T. G. .Plant, spokesman for the ship owners as saying his group could noi negotiate with any unions "be cause their acceptance ot your meritime commission's suggestion to continue old contracts which are completely unsatisfactory to seamen had tied their hands so as to prevent any negotiation being conducted until your investigation was completed. . The telegram added: "Our un ion cannot believe that your com mission wants to have any of its acts interpreted so as to cut off negotiations between employers and employes and cannot believe that you have attempted to assume powers or authority of preventing such negotiations which power or authority is not within the terms of the act creating your commis sion." Admiral Hamlet called the next meeting for Thursday morning, which shipowners pointed out would be after calling of the strike "which will render the proposed investigation wholly Ineffectual if not impossible." The shippers, through their spokesman, T. G. Plant, asserted that Admiral Hamlet after calling A. the adjournment refused to see them concerning "violations of awards and agreements" which the employers charge have dis ruptd coast commerce since the bloody 1934 coastwide strike.

The employers' criticism was la reply to a commission demand that work continue under present agreements pending the "investi gation.
