BAILEY IS SEEN SUCCESSOR TO SEN. ROBINSON

Arkansas Expects Executive To Appoint Self or Seek Nomination.

Robinson’s Death Leaves F. D. R. Bitter at Court Foes in Party

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON. July 15—The death of Senator Robinson (D. Ark.) has left President Roosevelt more embittered than ever at Democratic opponents of his Court plan, it was learned authoritatively today. He is determined to put the Court bill over at all costs. He attributes the arduousness of Senator Robinson's last task to the Democratic defections on the Court compromise. Thus, in a measure,

he lays the death of his Senate &

leader at the door of those Democrats who have bolted the Administration leadership. The President is so confident that the rank and file of the electorate are for his Court plan that he is hopeful of driving from public life its opponents within the Democratic

cial ermine from being dipped in | party.

the dangerous whirlpools of political strife” may succeed the late Joseph T. Robinson as Senator from

Arkansas. Carl E. Bailey, youthful Governor of Arkansas, told his Legislature in his inaugural address last Jan. 12: “Measures which will shield the judges of our courts from the importunities of politicians and prevent the judicial ermine from being dipped in the dangerous whirlpools of political strife should receive your earnest and thoughtful consideration.” Governor Bailey is reported to be an aspirant for the Senate—an ambition which has been causing ferment in Arkansas for weeks. The

question of succession started some |

time ago when it appeared Senator Robinson would be appointed to the Supreme Court. How the new Senator is to be selected is a puzzle that apparently Governor Bailey alone can solve. Arkansas law says if a senatorial vacancy occurs more than a year before a general election, the Governor must call a special election not less than 60 and not more 100 days thereafter. He may appoint a successor to serve in the interim. So. Arkansas politicians here are wondering whether Governor Bailey will make an appointment. There is some talk of Senator Robinson's widow being appointed. and even of Governor Bailey resigning and being appointed. Senator Hattie Caraway, only woman in the Senate, is also from Arkansas.

Several Opponents Likely

In any event, Arkansans here expect Governor Bailey to seek the Democratic nomination which in Arkansas means eleetion. He probably will have opposition. Rep. Claude A. Fuller, a fifthtermer in the House is a candidate. His friends say Senator Robinson wanted Mr. Fuller to succeed him, although it is understood that Rep. Fuller opposes the court bill, Another possible candidate is Homer Arkins, friend of Senator Robinson and internal revenue collector in Arkansas. He visited the Senator here this week. Rep. John E. Miller is another prospect. Gov, Bailey, a man with a strong chin, was born on Oct. 8, 1894, at Bernie, Mo. He spent his bovhood in Campbell, Mo, and in Kentucky. He worked in a stave mill, operated a motion-picture machine, clerked in a drug store and worked on a farm. He taught school at $50 a month, worked as a railroad brakeman in Texas, took a job in a St. Louis shoe factory, and then returned to Campbell as the co-pro-prietor of a cafe. But the law called him, and he passed the bar examination in 1923. He then became assistant secretary to the Arkansas Cotton Growers Cooperative Marketing Association. Still later he was state commissioner of immigration, at $300 a month, but quit because he felt he wasn’t earning his money. He returned to law practice, and became deputy prosecutor of his county, then prosecutor, and then Attorney General of the state, an elective job. From that he stapped into the governorship. His Lieutenant Governor, incidentally, is also a Bailey—Bob Bailey, no kin.

EX-DUTCH SCHULTZ ATTORNEY HUNTED

By United Press NEW YORK, July 15—An eightstate search was organized today for J. Richard (Dixie) Davis, attorney for the late Dutch Schultz and eight others indicted with him as leaders of a $100,000,000-a-year numbers game racket.

Some believed that Davis, who has been misting from his usual haunts for several weeks, and at least one of his codefendants, Abraham (Bo) Weinberg, might have met Schultz's fate. Schultz, his bodyguard and his race horse handicapper were killed by rivals in a Newark, N. J, restaurant in 1935. Three men named in the same indictments, which were handed up to Supreme Court Justice Ferdinand Pecora yesterday, already are in police custody.

{ | This mood of reprisal was re-

| flected by Governor Townsend of | Indiana, incidentally, after a talk | with the President yesterday after- | noon. Governor Townsend declined | to discuss what Mr. Roosevelt had said, but he told the press that Sen- | ator VanNuys of Indiana has no | chance of renomination as a Demo- | crat. “Even if the organization wanted to renominate him, which it does not,” the Governor said, “the people

would not stand for it. Farmers and laboring men and common folks generally in Indiana expected Senator VanNuys to follow the President’s leadership. “When he failed to do so in the most importart of all New Deal measures, the Court reform plan, he eliminated himself.” . Senator VanNuys and Senator McCarran (D. Nev.) are the only two among the seven Democratic signers of the Judiciary Committee's caustic report against the original Court bill who are up for re-election in 1938. Other Democratic signers were Senators King (Utah), Hatch (N. M., Burke (Neb.), Connally (Tex.) and O'Mahoney (Wyo... Senator Hatch is a co-author of the compromise bill, however.

DEATH PENALTY LAW TANGLED

‘Chance Seen for Suspected Killer to Escape Execution.

By United Press SACRAMENTO, Cal, July 15.— | Governor F. Merriam said today he would call a special legislative | session, if necessary, to straighten |out the law regarding lethal gas | execution rather than permit a | criminal to escape the death penalty | because of a technicality. | He referred to the case of Albert Dyer, charged with attacking and | killing three Inglewood girls. | Governor Merriam said Los Angeles officials notified him that they understood that because of a | technicality it may be impossible to sentence Dyer to death, if he is found guilty of the crime, unless the trial and sentencing can be com- | pleted before Aug. 27, the date on | which the 3iate will change its | execution method from hanging to | lethal gas.

‘TESTIMONY CLASHES IN FATAL RIOT QUIZ

Bu United Press CHICAGO, July 15.—The Cook County's coroner's jury faced conflicting testimony today as it resumed its inquest to determine responsibility for the Memorial Day riot between police and strikers and strike sympathizers at the Republic Steel Corp.'s South Chicago plant. Ten persons were injured fatally in the riot. Coroner Frank J. Walsh has summoned more than 100 witnesses in his attempt to determine whether first shots were fired by police or by members of the group which advanced on police lines. Police Capt. James L. Mooney testified yesterday that officers fired in self-defense, after dodging bricks and clubs, and hearing three shots. He said if the marchers had reached the plant 200 would have been killed.

COUNTY TO GET SCHOOL TUITION AID OF $538,750

State Today Distributes Total of $5,020,250 To 92 Areas.

Marion County today was to receive checks for $538,750 for school | tuition from the State. This was the County's share of approximately $5,020,250 sent to the 92 counties to aid teacher's pay. Other counties receiving large distrbiutions included Lake, $377,000; Allen, $178,000; St. Joseph, $222,000; Madison, $123,250; Vanderburg, $139,500; Vigo, $148250; Delaware, $101,750, and Elkhart, $111,750. Marion County, with 2155 teaching units, the basis for the distribution, received the largest sum. Ohio, with 25 received $6250, the smallest amount. The distribution is based on an annual payment of $500 for each teacher unit. The 1937 Legislature increased this allotment to $700 annually. The semiannual distribution is the first of the 1937-38 fiscal year. State tuition distribution is to be used to reduce county property tax levies, according to the statute.
