BY ROBERT J. BENDER Vice-President and General News Manager. Cnited Press. (Copyright. 1931. bv United Press) MOSCOW, July 21. George Bernard Shaw, perhaps the greatest modern individualist, strutted into Moscow today with his beard bristling and his keen eyes gleaming, to be received by Communist ,Russia with cheers, bands and soldiers on parade. With him came Lord and Lady Astor and their son, and Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet commissar of foreign affairs, all having made the Journey from Berlin on the same train. “Hail Bernard Shaw,’* shouted the crowd of several thousand, waving red banners and cheering wildly. The others were ignored. A brass band broke into a march aad Shaw, .grinning and waving his hat, passed ’through the lines of troops, escorted by Anatole Luncharsky, Karl Radek and other officials. Lady Astor, seldom so much out of the picture, patted a baby in the ’crowd. Defends Russia’s Army The trip of the party from Berlin was marked by a series of questions and answers and interchanges of banter, in which Shaw, Litvinoff and the keen-tongued Virginia peeress figured repeatedly, at meal time Station halts and the compartments of the train. On one occasion, when Litvinoff was holding impromptu court, surrounded by such “proletarians" as Lord and Lady Astor and their son, who is entering Oxford in the autumn, and several other British blue-bloods, Lady Astor addressed Litvinoff: "Russia is getting into the same position as Germany before the war, with your big army and preparations.” I “No, our position is entirely different,” Litvinoff retorted. “We are maintaining an army entirely for deous calisthenics, all of which was building a great armed force with a definite program of offense.” After Russia’s precautions against a concerted war by capitalistic nations had drawn comment, young Astor remarked: Natives Look Blank “That’s just what all the Germans talk of today. They say they all thought when they went to war they were forced to attack because 'they were threatened with attack on all sides.” At Nigoroyle, which is the customs station at the entrance to Russia, Shaw and Lady Astor, walking on the platform with the others, noticed women railroad workers iwith heavy spades resting on the steps of a warehouse. Lady Astor iran to them, calling to the others hnd the Russian interpreter to follow. She asked the girls if they Shad ever heard of Shaw. “No, we never heard of him,” said one of the girls. “What, never heard of me?” asked fchaw, laughingly. The girls explained that they knew only three names, all Russian, fend including, of course, Stalin. “Nancy,” said Lord Astor, “tell them you were the first woman ever selected to parliament.” Lady Astor Hid and the girls looked blank. Shaw Does ‘Dally Dozen* “That doesn't mean anything to them.” explained the interpreter. Shaw, looking young, tall and* erect, with smiling Irish eyes and fresh complexion despite his 75 years, walked at each station, usually with Lady Astor. He did stretching exercises while she practiced jumping, running and vigorous calisthenics, all of which was a source of interest and grinning amusement to the on-looking Kus6ion men, boys and girls. Beth Shaw and Lady Astor asked many questions, manifesting tremendous interest in everything. Lady Astor told one group of husky girls they should let the men do the work on the railroads, but they just giggled. . Sociologist Put OIT Tram The picture of Litvinoff, high in the Communist councils, walking, talking and laughing with Shaw, outstanding individualist and aebunker” and the Astors of the British peerage, was only one of the manv interesting ones of the trip, it gave curious point to the sign o\er a Russian gateway at Nigoieloye. reading. “Communism will sweep away all frontiers.” Certainly there were no frontiers on the train, with its mixture of personalities and nationalities aboard. .... Gertrude Ely. Philadelphia sociologist, a member of the Shaw party, was put off the train at Warsaw because she neglected to get a polish transit visa. Despite the earnest efforts of the United States consul during the night, she had to leave the train and follow the custom arv routine before she could continue to Moscow, at least a day later.

DESPITE the low regard of Republican leaders for Senator Arthur R. Robinson, he might have averted the defeat almost sure to attend his candidacy for renomination in 1934 if he had waged and won a battle against putting the nomination of United States senator in the state convention. The primary was Robinson’s salvation. That is, the primary where minority groups by bloc voting control candidate selection, Robinson is and has been the choice of the organized minorities. When he was named to the senate by Governor Ed Jackson in 1925, upon the death of Samuel Ralston, he was the choice, not of Republican party, but of an organized minority, the Ku Klux Klan. n u a The klan and the Indiana AntiSaloon League swamped the polls in the Republican primary of 1926 and Robinson was renominated with 236,091 votes, while his nearest competitor, Archibald A. Graham of South Bend, received but 62,297 votes. The organized minorities had named Robinson. But as the tide rose against these groups in the November general election, the wide margin which had assured his nomination was pared so he received 519,401 votes to the 496,540 cast for Evaas Woollen, Indianapolis banker, the Democratic nominee. The Anti-Saloon League and the klan did not forget “Li’l Arthur” in the 1928 primary. They rallied again and he was nominated with 230,112 votes to the 111,569 accorded Arthur L. Gilliom, the then attor-ney-general and in high disfavor with both of these generally discredited organizations. President Hoover’s record-break-ing vote pulled Robinson over in the general election, as it also made Harry G. Leslie Governor of Indiana. Robinson was elected with 782,144 votes to 623,996 for Albert Stump. nun These statistics prove that the primary kept Robinson on the Republican ticket. His friends urged him in 1929 to stump the state for its retention. “Make the same kind of fight that Albert Beveridge made (as if this was even faintly possible) and you will be popular with the liberals,” his advisors declared. But Robby wanted to play close to the Republican state organization, which always has regarded him as an arrant upstart, and so he stayed in Washington, making “birds-of-a-feather” speeches. Now he probably realizes full well that his diffidence means that he may be referred to in 1935 as “ex-Senator Robinson.” SHOT ROUTS ATTACKER Woman, Grabbed by Negero, Is Released as Officer Shoots. A woman's screams attracted a policeman who saw a Negro dragging Mrs. Sarah Edmond, 101 West St. Clair street, into an alley off Senate avenue between Pratt and St. Clair streets Tuesday night. The policeman shot once at the fleeing Negro and assisted Mrs. Edmond to her feet. He did not know whether he hit the fugitive.
