CRIES! SHRIEKS! IT'S ROBINSON, SAYING NOTHING Oh, What a Bark Has Indiana’s Li’l Arthur; Bite Really Quite Harmless. This It the second of a eerie* of gtorle* on Indiana congressmen The next atory will detail activities of Representative John W Boehne Jr. of Evansville. BY WALKER STONE Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, June 27.—Senator Arthur Robinson's bark is fiercer than his bite. In fact, a close analyses of his performances reveals him as almost a barker without a bite. The Hoosier Republican, in the recent special session of congress, established himself as the cham-

pion snarler of the senate. With or without provocation, "Lil” Arthur, throughout the special session, time after time, denounced Democrats in general, President Roosevelt in particular, and the “new deal” in toto and in detail. He was the self-ap-pointed mud hurler for the Republicans. Yet an exami-

nation of his voting record discloses that Senator Arthur voted more often for measures in President Roosevelt’s program than did a great number of Democratic senators. Opposes Three Measures On only three measures did the vitriolic Indianian vote against the administration—the economy bill, the reforestation bill and the beer bill. On the more than a dozen other measures in the President’s legislative program, Senator Arthur voted “aye." With regard to the three meas- ; ures he opposed, Robinson proposed no substitutes. His opposition to the economy bill can best be explained by his lack of sympathy to balance the government budget in times of depression, by his firm conviction that every man who ever wore the uniform of a soldier has a lifetime lien on the federal treasury and that no government salary should be reduced. Fights Economy Law A few hours betore he left for Indianapolis last Monday, Robinson said: “I’ll never rest content until the economy law is repealed. It will be repealed because it is unjust, cruel and utterly indefensible.’’ He opposed the reforestation bill, "because it took $148,000,000 away from the building program,” which incidentally meant a postponement of a few limestone orders, and because the men in the forest camps were to be paid only $1 a day, and “because it will cost the government hundreds of millions of dollars.” That last argument sounded queer, coming from "Li'l Arthur,” who never has posed as a watchdog of the treasury, so completely has he 1 subscribed to the theory that the j government should spend its way j out of the depression. Links Morgan-Beer He opposed the beer bill, because ! . . . well, that’s a long story, with grewsome details. The speech he j made in the senate at the time the beer bill was passed was an oratorical interpretation of “Ten Nights in a Barroom.” Only once thereafter did Senator

LEGATION HOSTESS

Arthur voice his views on alcoholic drink. That was on the night before Indiana voted on the question of repeal of the eighteenth amendment. In a radio appeal that night, the senator let his palpitating listeners in on a ghasuy secret —that the whole movement to repeal prohibition was cooked up by the-house of Morgan to escape payment of income taxes. Among the many Roosevelt measures which Robinson voted for are: The national recovery act (he voted against the conference report, however, after the conferees eliminated amendments written in from the senate floor providing publication of income tax returns, taxing taxexempt bonds, and forbidding efforts to fix prices); the farm reliefinflation law (even after he was defeated in an effort to tack on a soldiers’ bonus amendment); the emergency bank law (which he denounced the next day); the GlassSteagall bank reform law; the Wag-ner-Lewis $500,000,000 appropriation for doles; the railroad reorganization law; the securities law; the Muscle Shoals-Tennessee valley improvement; the home owners’ loan law; repeal of the gold clause; the and the $3,600,000,000 deficiency appropriation. “Robinson of Indiana reached a new low this session,” wrote Frank Kent, in the Baltimore Sun, a few weeks ago. “Li’l Arthur” spent a good part of the special session denouncing. And when Senator Arthur denounces. it is no mere expression of a difference of opinion. He not only shouts, he shrieks. He jumps to his feet, catches the presiding officer’s eye, leans over his desk, snarles like a wolf, straightens up, steps out into the aisle, shoots a quivering right hand skyward and builds his snarl into a scream. Withal, the recent special session has been a happy one for “the Robinson.” The opposing party is in power. He can attack to his heart’s delight. And he can save his speeches to use as campaign ammunition in the election next year.

Contract Bridge

by w. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge league THERE are times when the only way to make your contract is to depend upon perfect breaks. While it generally pays to pick up the outstanding trump there are times when this has to be delayed. The following hand is not difficult, but it was surprising the number of players who went down when it came up in a recent duplicate tournament. South, the dealer, opened the contracting with one heart. West, who was vulnerable, could not show his club suit even though it was a six-carder, because,, when vulnerable, you must not only have a five-card suit, but in addition should have from two and one-half to three high card tricks. North made a one over one force of one spade. East passed. South bid two hearts—this guaranteed partner a good five-card suit. While it is not considered an over-encouraging bid, nevertheless it is constructive to the point that at least it tells your partner that you hold a five-card suit and are willing to play the hand at that contract.

With this information, North, who holds three hearts to the jack, now can bid three hearts to show that his spade bid was not made on weakness. South will go to four hearts. In most cases. West opened his singleton ten of diamonds. East put on the jack, and the declarer won the trick with the ace. Declarer could see that he might lose two club tricks and two diamond tricks. His only chance to make the contract was either to find the ace of clubs in the East hand or to have the spades break three-three. o a u IF the ace of clubs were in the West hand and he tried for the club play first, his contract would be defeated immediately. Therefore, he should try to see if the spades will split, and if this play fails, he still has the club play in reserve. He safely can play two rounds of trump, being careful to conserve the jack of hearts in dummy for an entry. Now, the spade suit

Egg-Scuse It! Roosters Who Play Role of Hen in Production Scheme Explained. By T'nited Preen lOWA CITY, la., June 27.—1f you raise chickens and find some morning that one of your roosters has laid an egg, it's really nothing to get excited about, Dr. Emil Witschi declared today at the University of lowa. Witschi said that in his experiments on sex reversal at the university he has discovered that egg-laying roosters have been known for many centuries. “In medieval times,” he said, “peasants believed that such roosters w r ere possessed with devils, and that their eggs would hatch {lragons, but actually the change from hen to rooster was accomplished by stopping the flow female sex hormones, usually by a disease or tumor.” This stopping of the flow of hormones can be accomplished by treatment or operation, Witschi said, or may be caused accidentally by dfeease. In either case, he said, it results in change of sex.

BLAINE GIVES R. F. C. FIRST LIBERAL TINGE Famed Progressive Thrown in Close Contact With Conservative Directors. By Bcrippg-H owned Xetcepaprr Alliance WASHINGTON, June 27. One of the strangest associations in official Washington begins with former Senator John J. Blaine taking over his new job as a director of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Senator Blaine, whose congressional record was the pride of many progressives, now comes into close contact with such conservative business men as portly Jesse Jones of Texas, R. F. C. chairman, and Harvey Couch, the

utilities and railroad magnate and former Chase National Bank director, of Arkansas. In 1932, President Hoover nominated Couch as an R. F. C. director, and Blaine w’ent into the records of the U. S. board of mediation to discover unusual relations between the nominee and labor on his wage - cutting railroad, the Louisiana & Ar-

These he studied, and before the senate proclaimed that in his opinion Harvey Couch had not lived up to the law, and that “any person who is to assume responsibility of public office ought at least to have observed the law ...” and that “this nominee . . . stands before one of the tribunals of the United States convicted of violation of the law ...” “Mr. Couch,” Senator Blaine asserted, “. . .is not fit to sit upon
