TOPEKA — Republican Party patriarch Al Llandon, who accepted birthday greetings from President Reagan in a telephone call on Wednesday, said the chance of losing his re-election bid this fall.
Landon, who also marked his 97th birthday yesterday with a lawn party thrown by Kansas Republicans at his Southern-style mansion, was noticeably excited after receiving Reagan's brief call from Camp David.
Sitting in his memento-filled living room, the former Kansas governor and presidential contender told Reagan he was one of the most popular presidents in history.
REAGAN WAS FUL of good words for Landon, calling him an inspiration and jokingly saying Landon's age was an incentive for himself.
"In all my 97 years I don't know of a president who has occupied such a strong, stout-hearted position of leadership that you do," said Landon.
"I've been celebrating my 39th birthday now for about 34 years and you've been celebrating yours about 24 years longer." Reagan said. "You're kind of an inspiration. It makes me feel good about the whole business."
Reagan, who visited Landon on his 65th birthday and delivered a landdon Lecture at Kansas State University, called the Republican statesman a folk hero and complimented the "fine Republican tradition in your family."
"I HOPE I can carry Kansas in November and I'll take any advice you have with regard to that," Reagan said.

SIX MORE PROPAGANDISTS FALL THROUGH THE "PRO-CHOICE" PAPER PODIUM
Because "pro-choice" people are an infinitely creative lot committed to circumventing the factual, occasional examinations of their illogic can be instructive. Consider for a moment the offerings of the following six "pro-choice" propagandists.
After attending an abortion hearing in 1969, Gloria Steinem, of Ms. magazine fame, found herself wondering "how much power would we (women) ever have if we had no power over the fate of our own bodies."
Five years ago, Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro told her peers in the House of Representatives that "As a Catholic I accept the premise that a fertilized ovum is a baby ... (but) I have no right to impose my belief on (others)."
In the August 28th Kansas City Times, syndicated columnist William Safire accused New York Archbishop John J. O'Connor of being "eager to enshrine his church's views on abortion as national law" after the archbishop told Catholics that they could not "in good conscience" vote for pro-abortion candidates.
Janet Gallagher, an attorney who directs the Civil Liberties and Public Policy Program at Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts, claims, in the September issue of Ms. magazine, that the Roe vs. Wade decision was an expression of "a general legal trend toward honoring individual decision-making in the area of health care." Ms. Gallagher then patiently explains that "the real question . . . has less to do with the status of the fetus than with the status of women . . . in short, control over our bodies and our lives."
Rosalind Patchesy, the author of Abortion and Women's Choice, confesses to discovering "a moral obligation to nonpersons—fetuses, animals, trees and all organic life," but notes that "The problem is, of course, that the survival of these living things may conflict with some important rights and needs of actual persons, and that in the face of such conflict, we must give priority to actual conscious human beings over other forms of life."
The Orlando Sentinel's Howard Means admits, in the September 1st Kansas City Times, that President Reagan was correct when he recently told a group in Dallas, "politics and morality are inseparable" because, in Mr. Mean's words, "Morality has to do with good and evil, with the distinction between right and wrong, between what is virtuous and what is vicious." Even after describing as an "awful beast" (any) political body that constantly subjugates moral decisions to expedient ends" and stating that the "central religious work of Western culture, the Bible ... adijures us not to kill", Mr Means finds those adamantly opposed to abortion guilty of "using religion ... as a bludgeon ... (rather than) a guide" in their attempts to bring this bloody bandwagon to a halt.
What these admittedly inspired individuals have in common is a willingness to avoid the actual.
Ms. Steinem and Ms. Gallagher ignore the genetically unique individual whose presence in the womb constitutes a pregnancy when they concern themselves only with the comfort of the pregnant woman.
Both Ms. Ferraro and Mr. Satire cling to the discredited notion that the Catholic Church alone views the fertilized ovum, whose activities and development have been carefully observed and scrupulously recorded, as a baby deserving of legal protection.

By refusing to concede that intrauterine beings are, in Ms. Petschek's words, "actual conscious human beings," Ms. Petschek and Mr. Means remain able to see nothing, as Mr. Means puts it, "wrong" or "vicious" in a procedure which savagely eliminates the immediately unwanted members of this select group.
"Thousands of cases interpreted the Constitution before Roe v. Wade was argued ... (but) Before January 22, 1973, the date of the decision of Roe v. Wade, no right to an abortion existed in the Constitution. No one doubts that the life in the womb . . . conceived by two human beings, possessed of the human chromosomal code, possessed of every genetic feature of human beings—is a human boy or a human girl. The child in the womb has blood and brains; a respiratory system, a circulatory system, (and) a uninary system ... (thus) the terrible social fact (is) that Americans are now killing their offspring on a scale exceeding that of any war."
In the fall of 1981, University of California Professor of Law John T. Noonan, Jr. testified before the Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on the Constitution. Here are a few excerpts from his testimony:
Although, like all abortion advocates, these six prominent propagandists understandably wished to skirt such information as the preceding, its existence should foredoom every such attempt to persuade.
