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.

type of prosperity should be avoided.
Prosperity Aim Told
The kind of prosperity sought, he
wild, was that which would assure
every American family safety of
home, old age, savings &nd employ
ment. Mentioning the constitution at the
outset of hla brief speech, the presi
dent said he waa standing on the
steps of the capltol of a, atate "so
Independent that It did not ratify
the constitution of the United States
until two years after It was In ef
fect." The president spoke from an open
car resting on a atone landing. The
crowd gave him a noloy welcome as
he arrived and was introduced oy
Gov. Theodore F, Green.
dovemor James M. Curley of
Mnssachutiotts, also stood nearby.
The president spoke in part aa fol
lows :
"I am standing on the steps of
the capltol of a state so Independent
that H did not ratify the constitu
tion of the United States until two
years a.fter It waa in effect; Around
me Ilea the most highly Industrial
and densely populated state In the
eountry.
fnterilefieiKlenoe Known
"I could speak to no people who
better understand the Interdepend
ence of modern economic life.
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.

Greatest Enjoyment Found
When Social - Economic
Changes Are Met With
Challenge, Expert States.
By Maude E. 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.
