HANG NICKNAME ON ROBINSON IN PARKER BATTLE ‘Robbie, the Liberal,’ Title Based on Opposition to Watson’s Guidance. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY "Robbie, the Liberal,” is the title beir.2 applied -locally to Arthur R. Robinson, junior United States senator from Indiana. It was coined following the recent "thumbs down ’ vote of the senate on President Hoover’s nomination of Federal Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina for justice of the United States supreme court. Senator Robinson was a member of the judiciary committee, the majority of which voted to recommend Parker not be seated. Robinson voted with the majority. According to Washington dispatches, Hoover then tried to get the Hoosier senator to "pair off and not vote on the committee report. This would mean that his vote would be traded with a senator opposing Parker’s nomination and neither would vote. This Robinson refused to do. Voted Against Watson He was on hand when the Parker vote was taken and voted to accept the recommendation of the committee against the nomination by the President. Senator James E. Watson, senior senator from Indiana and Republican floor leader, led the vain fight to uphold Hoover. As leader this was his job. But he failed to convert Robinson. Robinson’s opposition to Watson leadership is the thing that is giving him some claim to the title of "Robbie the Liberal.” He voted against Watson and with the majority of the senate in the ouster of William S. Vr.re, then sen-ator-elect from Pennsylvania. Robinson was a member of the Insurgent group termed ‘‘the young Turks,” in the tariff fight, which demanded retention of the debenture plan of farm relief as opposed to that of the Hoover administration. "Biggest Little Man” His insurgency has reached the point where a recent visitor to Washington reports that Robinson invited him to meet Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin with these words: "I want you to meet the biggest little man in Washington.” "La Follette the second” is small of stature. Certain political observers feel Robinson's liberalism consists largely in anti-Watsonism, and an effort to snatch leadership in Hoosier politics from the hands of Senator Jim. Parker opposition largely was fostered by Negro and labor groups. Robinson's stand made him some friends with these factions in Indiana, but many question his sincerity. Originally he was supposed to have been sent to the senate by Ku-Klux Klan forces operating through the then Governor Ed Jackson.

BARTO CHURCH ’ UNITY IS CITED Nationalism Held Obstacle by Dr. Cadman. Bv Vnitfd Press BUCKHILL FALLS, Pa., May 14. —Nationalism has become the great obstacle to the unification of Christian religions, Dr. S. Parks Cadman, noted Brooklyn minister, told the Christian Herald Institute of Religion here. "Instead of Christianizing nations we have nationalized Christianity,” he said. He denounced extreme nationalism which, he said, had been set up and worshiped as an idol. While recognizing other obstacles to unification of Christianity, Cadman believes that this worship of nationalism is the greatest. "No system of Christian unity can be complete,” he continued, ‘‘which does not take in the whole of Christianity, but unity can be accomplished if we all agree on the lordship of Christ and pay our devotion to Him and to the God who gave Him to us.” TALK ON INDIA SLATED Missionary to Discuss Revolt in Bible Club Address.

PINCHOT MAKES GOVERNOR RACE AS ARDENT DRY G. 0. P. Candidate Promises Abolishment of Public Service Commission. BY T. J. O’CONNELL United Press Start Correspondent PHILADELPHIA, May 14.—Gifford Pinchot, “The Forester,” again is a candidate for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. Once again he has thrown down the gauntlet to "the interests” arid is waging a one-man campaign against the powerful Philadelphia and Pittsburgh organizations, whose alleged misdeeds he is broadcasting in a whirlwind campaign throughout the state. Appropriately enough, he is once more the crusader for the prohibition cause and promises that if he is elected Governor again, he will be “drrir than ever.” Probably the principal plank In the Pinchot platform is that which

proposes the abolition of the public service commission, which he characterized as the “tool” of the utilities. He would replace the commission with a fair rate board elected by the people and responsible to them. Pinchot also proposes abolition of the coal and iron police force, maintained by the companies. He would substitute for this force a greup of police recruited and trained by the state and maintained at the expense of the companies. Deeply interested in the preservation of our forests, Pinchot has given many years of his life to that work. In January, 1891, he inaugurated the first example of practical forest management on a large scale at Biltmore, N. C., on the estate of George W. Vanderbilt. This estate has been purchased by the United States and now is called Pisgah national forest. In December, 1894, he opened an office as a consulting forester. Pinchot was the only forester on the committee appointed by the National Academy of Sciences in 1896, at the request of the secretary of the interior, to report upon a plan for a forest policy for the

He was appointed to this post July 1, 1898. Impressed by the knowledge that there were but ten professional foresters in the United States, Pinchot and members of his family donate<J $150,000 to Yale university to found a forestry school. Later the Pinchots established 'a summer school of forestry at Milford, Pa. Pinchot defeated George Alter of Pittsburgh in the Republican gubernatorial election of 1922 and
