WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. Governor
Landon has a email but apparently
bare margin In Michigan. The best
surveys' Indicate
mjm he lias reason to
71
expect majority of
about 50,000 votes
there, although
this figure Is not
guaranteed.
Massachu
aetts Is supposed
to be even surer
for Landon. with
prospects that his
majority there
may reach 170.
000. VrcbiUent Roosevelt's majority in
Missouri Is being expertly guessed at
a atrong 170,000 In Arizona, at a slim
30,000. and. In New Mexico, at a
slimmer 18,000.
Note. None of these figures la per
fect, but the guesses for the western
states usually work out more accu
rately than In the more populous
states.
All the pol'.s ahow Governor Lan
don loading In South Dakota, but
th ara&U aum of ten centa (no more,
no less) could safely be wagered that
Mr. Roosevellt may carry It by a ma
jority of 13,000 to 30,000 votes.
The only really aure Indication of
Governor Landon'a election was given
the other day when General Johnson
told friends Landon would not carry
fire atatea. General Johnson won a
reputation In NRA daya for prophecy
Ing backward with Infallible regu
larity. Incidentally, Johnson haa met all
rumors that be may be the next aec-
retary of war with the crack that the
only thing ha la likely to he secretary

Tola mnkea It more or leas certain
aleo that he will ba next secretary of
war.
The hypersensitive state depart
ment haa rarely been hyped on any
subject aa much aa upon the forth
coming Pan American conference.
The experts In delicacy have been
really outdoing themselvea In an ef
fort to keep that meeting pure and
aerene.
For example, there Is an assistant

for Just about the first time since he
took office. He called them in. That,
in itself, caused a sensation In stale
department qusrters. It waa expect
ed that nothing less than a declara
tion of war would be announced, but
all Mr. Wellea wanted to say waa that
there waa nothing In the visit paid
him by Juan B. Sacaea, former preal
dent of Nicaragua.
It waa the first that anyone had
heard of Secasn's visit, because Mr.
Wellea alwaya rune hla visitors in and
out without detection. Nevertheless.
Mr. Wellea did not want the word to
get to South America that he had

AS WORD WAITED
PORTLAND. Ore., Oct. 29. (AP)
Threatened paralysis of waterfronts
failed to materialise In Portland to
day and with one exception all ships
were being worked.
Longshoremen said they had re
ceived no notice to strike.
The Wateonville remained tied up
after seamen aboard demanded c
guarantee of transportation to San
Pedro In oase the ship waa docked
during a strike at Eureka, Calif. The
men were paid off at noon today and
union officials were asked to provide
another crew.
Difficulty was encountered when a
watsonvuie cook declined to serve
meals until definite word was receiv
ed that the strike situation was set
tied.
Another labor controversy, between
the teamsters' union and non-union
drivers of common carrier apple
trucks appeared on the way to saw
repercussions when Al Rosser, secre
tary of the teamsters' union, said
longshoremen would decline to hen
die cargo to which teamatera objected.
"We'll picket that dock and those
apples as socn as one of these com
mon carriers goes In there with a
non-union driver, and the longshore
men have promised me. they will not
touch this kind of cargo," Rosser said.
The controversy reached a. climax
Wednesday when teamsters objected
to the unloading of some of Vie apple
trucks from the Hood River area,
claiming a portion waa comprised of
common carriers manned by non
union men. Rosser said the move was
not aimed at farmers bringing their
own produce In their own trucks.
BT. C. Oonyers, president of the
waterfront employers of Portland,
estimated today the loss per day that
ships might be tied up here as a re
sult of the dock controversy would
total 313.000. He said no effort would
be made by local steamship operators
to move cargo with non-union men
or non-strikers In ase union men
stopped work.
"The operators have no Intention
of creating a situation that will re
sult In riot and bloodshed such as

He described the "greetaet tragedy"
In coast labor difficulties as "the

FEDERAL QUARTERS
T
The Imperative need for ft larger
federal building here waa brought
acutely to the foreground today when
It waa learned that the Rogue river
national foreat servue waa refused
permission by the regional office In
Portland to move as a unit to outside
quartera capable of housing the en
tire personnel, .
The refusal waa seen aa creating a
serious problem regarding the hous
ing of the Crater lake national park
staff which will have to aeek other
quartera when federal court oonvenee
here on December 1. The park ser
vice occuplea the court quartera In
the federal building.
Solution to the problem was seen
recently when the foreat service
sought permission to move Its entire
set-up to outside quartera. If the
forest service had been permitted to
move, Its federal building offices
would have been turned over to the
park service, It was understood.
Btaff of the forest aervlce la now
divided, part of tne offlcea being In
Che federal building and part tn rent
ed offices next door, The staff la said
to be cramped for room in both
placea,
A few daya ago Col. E. K. Kelly,
chairman of the federal agencies com
mittee of the Jsckson County Cham
ber of Commerce, wrote ft pressing
letter to Senator Charlee L. McNary
regarding the Immediate need for ac
tion on -larger federal building here.
Today he was In receipt of the fol
lowing telegram from J. O. Allen, aa
slatant secretary to Senator McNary:
"Senator McNary today was advised
by the procurement division that the
matter of Increasing federal housing
facllltlea In connection with Medford
federal building haa been brouejht to
the attention of the Joint treasury
postofflce committee and atudy la now
being made of varloue permanent
federal activities located at Meaiora
and the committee will give proper
consideration to the project. Upon re
ceipt ol further Information, you will
he advised."
In spite of the fact that the hous
ing needs of federal agenclea hare
have been under atudy for yeara, Col.
Kelly aald today that hla committee
"feela hopeful of prompt action and
nonalble relief early In 1087."
The chamber committee. Col. Kelly
stated, haa submitted to Wsshlngton
authorltlea a atudy of federal needs in
Medford. The stdy, he related,
shows that several permanent federal
actlvlllea here are transsctlng busi
ness In rented spsce as "the present
federsl building Is wholly Insdequsie
to accommodate these various actlvl
tlea." Considerable extension of the pres
ent federal building, erected 30 yeara
ago, will be necessary to meet the re
quirements of government agenclea
now situated here. Col. Kelly aald.
"The committee's effort," the col
onel declared, "have been directed
not onlv toward procuring ample room
to meet present needs but to
care of future development.
