IN CAMPAIGN HEAT Secretary Calls Kansan Former 'State Socialist' New Deal Like Losing Grid Team Is Rejoinder, WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. (P) An exchange of campaign blows. In which Secretary Icies called Governor Landon a former 'state soalsllst. and the Ksnsas governor replied that the New Deal waa "Ilka a losing team throwing the ball around wildly, at tempting to acors," Intensified the presidential battling today Questioning Landon's 'sincerity." the Interior secretary declared In a radio address last night that In 1934 and 1035 Landon waa a state social ist advocating state owned telephone and natural gas distribution systems but that recently he became a "rug ged Individualist" overnlglrv. "Typical," Says Lnndon. landon came back with a state ment that New Dealers had been charging he was a "puppet of big business" but now say he Is "a so olallst and the enemy o! big busi ness." Landon declared this was "typical of the confusion" of the Roosevelt administration. : On February 7, 1938, Ickes said, Landon wrote to him suggesting loans to states for "public atate-wlde tele phone systems." He added that In December, 1934, William Alien White, Kansas editor, waa sent to Washing ton with a Landon proposal for the construction of a natural gaa pipe line as a state enterprise. "Enjoining groat secrecy because the governor of Kansas did not want his colleagues In the oil business to get wind of It," Ickes said, "Mr. White unfolded a plan by which Kansaa, as a state enterprise, would build a pipe-line to the natural gas fields In southwestern Kansas and market that natural gaa In competition with private Industry. "It also developed later that Gov ernor Landon did not propose to take the people of his state Into his con fidence until it was too late for them to block his ambitious plan. The cost of Mr. Landon's little pipe dream would be $33,000,000." Chnnga of Front Noted. "How does it happen," Jckes ask ed, "that the atate socialist of 1930 la the Republican candldato for presi dent In 1030 on a platform of un controlled private Initiative? Is It possible that the governor of Kansas waa willing to tear his principles from the shallow soli In, which they were rooted because of the lure of the greatest office in the world?" Landon, in a ettmat Utuod In Les Angeles, said the gaa negotiations were undertaken In a successful tight to obtain lower gas ratos. He aatd he favored "public ownership as a gun behind the door" In adjusting rates. The reason he asked Ickes to keep the negotiations secret, he sstd, waa that If they had been made publlo the private gas interests would have pre-empted all the available gaa re serves and he would have been out of luck." "But we were finally able to obtain the lower rates, with a large aavlng to the gns consumers of K.nsas, with out resorting to the last weapon thut should be resorted to public owner ship," he added.

I have said that what the present nntlona) administration has tried to do was to adjust ata-te-craft to real ity the reality of 48 states whlth have agreed to live together In machine age. "When this admin latnvtton came to Washington March 4, 1033. the ma chine of our national economy had romplntely broken down. For 13 years It had been neglected by those wno believed that machines did not need tending. We tried to rebuild that machine, to modernise It and to turn on the purchasing power. "It was the biggest peace time Job ever attempted. It called for enersry In a hundred directions a,t once, for Imagination, for willingness to face facts. "Because It was a modern machine It needed money In circulation to get It going and keep It going. Therefore, we had to obtain pur chasing power for the farmer, work for the unemployed, loans to In dustry, safety and courage for banks. No Second Chance How much did we spend? Enough to get results enough to be aure not to fall, There would have been nft second chance if we had falted once. "You and I are used to venturing capital to gain profits. And In these three and a half years our venture has succeeded. Prosperity measured In dollars la coming back. There are none among you to deny It. But there la a higher measure for prosperity the measure of permanencythe measure of ae curity. "We aeek not the prosperity of 1939 but the kind which will mean to every American family an assur ance of safety of the home, snfety of old age, safety of savings, safety of emplovment.

Pool Personal discussion with Maude M. Morse, parent education and child development specialist from Oregon State college, of the Innumerable problems met In the wide field of family relationships waa the privilege of 130 Jackson county women who met at the courthouse auditorium yesterday for a family living confer ence held under the auspices of the home economics extension service by Mabel C. Mack, home demonstration agent. Members of extension unit from all sections of the county, as well aa from organizations In Medford and Ashland were In attendance and re sponded enthusiastically to their op portunity to ask questions and ex press their views regarding the vital Questions of customs, standards and modes of living today. Mrs. Morse, directing her discussion to social and economlo changes and their effects, said that those who find the most enjoyment In life meet changes with a challenge, rather than i ef using to adjust themselvea or reaching the opposite extreme of ac cepting changes without resistance. Divorce to Stay ' "We must learn to recognize the good from the bad In man-made changos and to adjust ourselves to thoso changes which are beyond our control," she continued. "Many are unhappy as a result of the depression and have not adjusted themselves to a lower standard of living. Indepen dent thinkers are needed today, par ticularly In the field of parent educa tion and child development " , Speaking of divorce, Mrs. Morse said that this custom la here to stay end while It la merely an emergency value, , and should be used only as fcucb, the vital need today Is more education to children regarding mar riage. The speaker stressed the need of developing In children a feeling of security in the home. "Frequently we have no time for affection toward our children, and we will be a starved generation where affection Is con cerned," she sold. "We need more appreciation of the good that Is In music that comes over the radio and more Information on sex and a finer Interpretation of it." She mentioned the need of living In a more spiritual sense and express ed the opinion that a parent and child spending half an hour before bedtime reviewing the beautiful and happy occurences of the day provided more value to the child than me chanical recitation of a memorized prayer. Customs Compared The forenoon was largely devoted to comparison of customs two gener ations ago and those of today, a live ly discussion ranging from the Satur day night bath and floor length skirts to the attire of the present sun bathers. Mrs. Morse devoted a short time to exhibition of toys made from pimple home material, such as spools. . r'TMtfpr.r ccuv laate ! lou luslc luc (lit)'crcncc iinuit diately In Crab Orchard.
