JOE ROBINSON ASSAILED FOR RELIEFSTAND Democrat Leader Defends 6. 0. P. Program in Attacks by Own Colleagues. ‘ABOUT FACE’ ON ISSUE Arkansas Senator 10 Days Ago Was Assailing Work of Red Cross. BY RAY TUCKER Tim** ft Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—The •enate today presents the strange spectacle of a Democratic leader defending a Republican administration’s drought relief program against attacks by his own colleagues and numerous members of the President’s own party. While regular Republicans are •ttlng silent, Senator Robinson (Dem., Ark.), who only a few days ago was assailing Hocrver, Secretary Hyde and the Red Cross, now is asking his associates to accept the $20,000,000 drought relief compromise which he has negotiated with Republican spokesmen for Hoover. Defense Hurts Measure In defending the terms of the compromise, Robinson has hurt it by admitting that only farmers who can produce security will get aid. His critics have seized on his admission that small homesteaders, who raise crops for personal consumption rather than sale, must look to charity or the Red Cross. He has not convinced his own colleagues that either the present proIposal or the earlier $45,000,000 appropriation meets the situation In the drought area. He has not placated the group that wants a showdown on the question of whether the government will look after the needy In an emergency like the present. Democrats Are Dissatisfied His only assurance Is that given him by Hoover, in which the latter declared Secretary Hyde had said the new fund would be administered “fairly and sympathetically.’’ The new bill now before the senate contains loan provisions “for purposes of crop rehabilitation,” and while Robinson insists thlls means food, his colleagues want the agreement nailed down. Even more Important, they ask what Is to become of the farmers in the backlands who can’t satisfy government safeguards for security. TO these questions Robinson answers that they must become charitable or Red Cross wards. La Foilette Leads Fight But though he attacked the Red Cross as playing politics only ten days ago, he now contends that the Red Cross is handling the situation adequately. Organized assault on the relief compromise was started in the senate today by insurgent Republicans led by Senator La Foilette (Rep., Wis.) Charging that the agreement between President Hoover and congressional leaders was "not a compromise but an unconditional surrender,” La Foilette attacked the amendment to the interior department appropriation bill on the ground that it would not provide, adequate relief In farm areas, and that no provision whatever was made for sufferers in cities. RED CROSS RECEIVES MORE CONTRIBUTIONS Total of $1,882.36 Given by Various Organizations. Red Cross drive funds in Indianapolis today were boosted to $44,302.70 with contributions since Monday totaling $1,882.38. Donations Included: Indianapolis Women’s Club, $150; State Auto Insurance Company, $100; Trinity Evangelical Lutheran church, $113.53, and J. D. Adams Company, $95.

Floyd’s Buddy Shortridge Boy Has It All * Over Every Other Kid in This City.

BY SHELDON KEY TO most of Indianapolis Monday night, Floyd Gibbons, famed radio artist and war correspondent, was the “headline hunter,” romantic talker and a good fellow, but to 14-year-old Bobby Quinn, 4106 Byram avenue, he was just plain friend. Both know what It is to see the world with only one eye. They found It out when Bobby crowded his way forward to the platform in Cadle tabernacle following Gibbons’ address Monday night. They started to shake hands. Then Gibbons noticed that Bobby, too, wore a bandage over one eye. m n n GIBBONS reached to his Inside coat pocket and drew forth a white bandage, similar to the one he wore, and handed it to Bobby with these words: “Take this, sonny, and wear It. Exchange It for the black one you are wearing. You see, it’s knit and a better one. “An old lady up In Maine makes these especially for me. I carry extras, for I sometimes use three or four a day,” he explained quickly. Gibbons has worn hls bandage since the World war. It is the token of an adventure near Belleau Wood in France, where he was the victim of a machine gun bullet. Bobby has worn his black badge for but six weeks. An air rifle in the hands of a playmate is to blame. Bobby is a Shortridge high school pupil. Grand Juryman Named Frank G.

TWO WOMEN MURDERED BY GANGBULIfTS Man Companion Is Injured in Shooting at Saloon in St. Louis. FOUR HELD FOR QUIZ Brother of One of Victims Was Murdered Late J.ast Year. By United Press ST. LOUIS, Feb. 10.—Two women were killed and their male companion was wounded critically by four gunmen who trapped them in a saloon at 1:30 a. m. today The women killed were Miss Dorothy Evans, 37, and Bessie Leyman. Miss Leyman was killed instantly and Miss Evans died on the operating table an hour later. . The wounded man was William Goebel, brother of Dewey Goebel, notorious gangster who was killed by machine gun bullets Nov. 22. The shooting occurred in the saloon operated by Goebel’s brother, Harry, who said three men entered, ordered the women and Goebel to “stick ’em up,” then began firing immediately. Harry said, he hid behind the bar and. the gunmen did not molest him. A few minutes after the shooting, police arrested four men in a nearby restaurant. They denied knowledge of the shooting. The proprietor said they ran into his establishment shortly after the shooting. Police said Goebel was known as an associate of gangsters and that the killing probably was the outgrowth of a gang feud which has been waged here since Oct. 2, 1930. Three double slayings, one triple killing and a single murder have been committed in the war for gang supremacy. Ten days ago two gangsters and a pawnshop owner were riddled with machine gun bullets In an East St. Louis gambling den.

Sentence Banker Hour After He Bares Theft By United Press BEDFORD, Ind., Feb. 10.—Frank Rariden, 44, cashier of the Oolitic State bank for ten years, closed his little bank today, drove two miles to Bedford, delivered himself In the hands of Sheriff John Tyree and confessed to embezzling $30,000 of the bank’s funds.

Branaman pronounced sentence of two to fourteen years in the state prison.

G. 0. T. Leader Waxes Eloquent About Deeds, Then Can't Find 'Em. Resolving into a committee of the whole, the Indiana senate today, before crowded galleries, proceeded to display what one senator termed "its complete incompetence and lack of leadership.” Announced purpose of the commute of the whole meeting was to discuss taxation measures. But immediately upon convening, Senator Harry K. Cuthbertson (Dem., Howard and Miami) moved to dissolve and reconvene as a senate since all revenue measures were still in the house, and there was nothing for the committee to discuss. The motion proved somewhat of a wet blanket to Senator Lee J. Hartzell (Rep., Allen and Noble), Republican floor leader, who was presiding as committee chairman. Nothing to Discuss He just had delivered a speech to the senate and the gallery declaim • ing the big things that were to cone out of this committee-of-the-whcle meeting in the way of solving taxation problems for the ‘people back home.” Confronted with the Cuthbertson motion he had to admit that so far as he knew there was nothing to discuss. All revenue raising measures must originate in the house. At last Senator Earl Rowley (Rep., Le Porte and Starke) came to the chairman’s rescue by delivering a speech in favor of hls property tax limitation bill, which would prevent more than a $1.75 levy from real property on each SIOO of taxables. He made the same speech in its favor before the senate last week. Meeting Called Farce Senator J. Francis Lochard (Dem., Dearborn, Jennings and Ripley) pointed out that similar legislation had proved a failure in Ohio. The veteran Lake county Republican senator, James J. Nejdl, arose. "I enjoyed the discourse of my colleague from the 'deestrict of Lake Michigan,’,” he said, referring to Rowley’s talk. "But how far have we got? In any committee meeting we must refer something substantial to the committee before any action can be taken. "This committee of. the whole meeting is a farce. There is nothing here before us and it Is just a case of old women talking things over. It’s not parlimentary and we will not. get anywhere until the revenue raising measures come before us. Let’s not waste any more time making a joke out of this senate.” A Motion Is Approved Senator Joe Rand Beckett (Rep., Marion) tried and failed to get consideration for hls budget reduction bill. A motion was passed to recommend the senate get Rowley’s measure returned from the special tax to the finance committee and that this committee recommend it to the senate for passage or postponement within the next twenty-four hours. Thereupon the Cuthbertson motion was approved and the senate went back to work. Other special business of the senate today is the old age pension bill up for passage at 3 p. m.

man R. Earl Peters to arrange a reapportionment plan. Four gerrymander plans have been introduced, but the Core plan is favored by the reappertionment committee in the house. According to Its author, Representative Lew S. Core (Dem., Davies), the Republicans normally would have majorities in eight districts; Democrats in three, and one district would be doubtful. The Republican majorities in most of these sections would be small and the Democrats would be afforded an opportunity to carry half the districts, proponents of the bill say.

caucus, however, declared that the Democrats under this plan are given certain majorities in six districts, two are doubtful and four are Republican. Bush indicated that taxation and not reapportionment was his only worry. Republicans, it is believed, want no reapportionment until they control both houses of the legislature. If, in 1932, the state goes Democratic and all the congressional representatives under the “at large” plan are of that party, the G. O. P. leaders are content to take the defeat with the hope of cutting the cake more satisfactorily in the next general assembly.
