WASHWOTON. Sept, 7. Those
who watched President Roosevelt's
meeting with Governor Landon
closest called It
a draw.
The Kansas
governor used It
to establish the
fact that he
sh avos every
morning, and
Mr. Roosevelt
discovered that
what all the gov
ernors want out
of him la cash.
Ervery state au
thority met by
the president.
except the Kansan, mentioned what
a great drought relief job he could
do If only furnished with some of
Mr. Morgonthau's In exhaustible
funds.
The result was that everyone went
home satisfied with haying told his
side of the story, but nobody got
any money. ,
Counselors of both Mr. Roosevelt
and Governor Landon told them no
good would come of their meeting.
Little Incidents, they said, would be
played out of all proportion to proper
significance. Either Mr, Roosevelt or
Governor Landon would emerge, they
contended, with superior honors, and
the one who lost would suffer pol
itical Ignominy. They were wrong.
.Governor Landon ran Into Mr. Roose
velt with hts hand outstretched and
vice versa. The amicable feelings on
both aides were really as strong as
expressed. Des Moines authorities felt
they had witnessed a spectacular
political show without a climax.
- -Most publicized development of
go-ernment Is not the Roosevelt
Landon conference or the war In
Spain. It Is a meeting of a couple
of people here under the title of the
"Third World Power Conference."
Every newsman In Washington has
received upwards of eight million
worda of authoritative analyses of
the gathering, which is officially
nubheaded as "Second Congress on
Large Dams."
The explanation of all this exten
sive mimeographing apparently Is
that there Is a presidential campaign
under way and the subject of power
U an Issue.
Ordinarily the second congress on
large dams is held In June. Septem
ber this year Is nearer -November.

AIR SPEED SUPREMACY
LOS ANGELES, Sept, 7. (AP)
Harried by crack ups and narrow
death escapes, America seemed des

Thompson trophy, emblematic of alr
speed supremacy In this country.
The 150-mile race for the trophy
and a (20,000 purse, following yester
day's spectacular Louis W. Grevo
tiophy event that brought mishap to
two Yankee pilots, headlined today's
closing program of the 1930 national
air races.
The man picked to capture J.he
Thompson classic was dashing Lieut.
Michel Detroyat of Prance.
The '30-year-old Frenchman yes
terday won the (0000 Greve race.
Seventy-five thousand spectators
gasped as mishap befell Joe Jacobeon
of Kansas City, "hard luck" pilot of
the 1938 races, and Rudy Kllng of
Lemont, III.
Both filers, landing after racing In
the Grave event, crashed In the cen-tei-of
the-field a few minules apart.
Neither was badly hurt, but their
plane, entered In today's Thompson

America's chances of retaining the
trophy apparently rested with two
