HOUSE UNABLE T0 GET QUORUM
Same Possibility Looms in - Senate; Nothing to Do, Rayburn Says.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11 (U. P.) — Congress’ attempt to stay in ses-
sion after completing all major | a
work reached the comic opera stage today. The House, for the first time in eight years, was adjourned because it.could not corral enough members to transact business. The Senate was scheduled to hold a brief, formal meeting at noon today, but leaders doubted that a quorum — 49 Senators — would show up. The present situation follows the breakdown of Democratic leaders’ efforts to recess until after election. Inability to muster a quorum in the House yesterday came on a roll call on the question of sehding to the Immigration Committee President Roosevelt's veto of a minor bill. Tally clerks checked and rechecked the roll calls. House attaches scurried to telephones and sought to call in members. Speaker Sam Rayburn (D. Tex.), presiding, decayed announcing the result. Several members arrived, breathless, and voted. Still it was obvious that a quorum—216—had not answered. Finally Democratic Leader John W. McCormack (D. Miss.) asked Mr. Rayburn to announce the vote. Mr. Rayburn did so, and Mr. McCormack moved immediately that the Hpuse adjourn in view of “the obvious situation.” Parliamentarians said the last time such an impasse had occurred was on --Dec. 22, 1932—before the lame duck amendment was adopted to: alter sessions of Congress. Mr. Rayburn said the situation was a good example of what hap< pens when Congress insists on stay‘ing in session after it has completed its work. President Roosevelt advised leaders two weeks ago that he had no more problems for Con-
EDUCATION WEEK'S
Harkening to Armistice Day memories of 1918, school officials will attempt to stir in Indianapolis residents a feeling of their present day responsibilities during American Education Week, Nov. 10 to 16. Plans for the observance were mapped by a committee yesterday in the office of DeWitt S. Morgan, school superintendent.
Mr. Morgan urged that three points be stressed to city residents: A realization of the problem facing the nation, realization of the sacrifices that Americans must face and measure up to in the future, and knowledge of the need for everyone to do something to fit himself to contribute to the general welfare. Pastors will be asked to mention Education Week in their Nov. 10 sermons.

The Smiths, Two Mighty Men Are They, Practicing Old Art
By TIM TIPPETT
Remember when you were a kid and the balcksmith shop was a wonderland of strange sounds and smells and the ring of the anvil carried for miles on a cold winter morning? How the smith wearing his leather apron supplied all the odds and ends so necessary for stills, wagons and what-nots? Not all the blacksmiths deserted the horse for the modern patients, bicycles and noisy automobiles. At least one family of blacksmiths stuck by the horse. The shop is on the north side of the Fair Grounds and horses are brought from miles around the Hoosier Cap-
ital to be shod not in between thejskill and

kets but by smiths who spend all their time at their trade—shoeing horses. The Lee brothers have operated the. shop for 18 years, their father operated it before that. Denny e, the older brother, worked with his father and learned the trade from him. Charles “Bus” Lee learned the trade from brother Denny. He's been at it for 10 years and is ranked a3 the youngest blacksmith in the country. Bus is 26. True their shop isn’t quite the same as the ones “way back when.” A radio talks back to the anvil and the bellows is electric. But the shoes are the same, the horses are the
same and the business is still one of [knowledge Shoeing a horse is not merely the
(application of a horseshoe to the
hoof—the proper horseshoe must be chosen each time. Horses have as many different needs in the line of footwear as humans and in most cases it's more important.
Peculiarities Overcome
Saddle as well as race horses insist on developing peculiarities in their running that can be cured only by the proper weighted and shaped shoe. This is the Lee brothers’ job. There are toe weight, bar, half bar, | diamond, sweedge, Memphis and a | hundred more shoes to choose from. The Memphis shoe was named after “Pop” Gears, famous Tennessee trainer. Also like the human, and some times much more intelligent, according to the brothers, a horse is hard to please. There used to be two polo horses here which were customers of Denny Lee and his father. One horse would only be shod by the elder Lee and he other preferred Denny.
Couldn't Fool Pony Once as a test, tney blindfolded the animal who disliked Denny and he tried to shoe it.. Denny was thrown for a loss and they almost
had their shop reduced to shambles.
A . present-day customer refuses to be tied, held or molested at all. The Lee’s just open the shop door,
| the horse comes in, wanders around and then finding a spot to his liking permits the new shoes to be | fitted.
Horses often lose most of their hoof and when this happens the brothers simply make a hoof and fit it on the horse. It sounds difficult but the brothers say it really is a simple matter, As long as the sound of hooves thud out over the countryside in the early morning and trainers lean on fence railings with a stop watch in their hands; as long as there are horses, their heads out of halfstable doors waiting for their master
{and the morning ride or evening | ramble, the Lee’s will be on the | north side of the Fair Grounds,
their forge will glow and their an-
'vils send out the old-fashioned
clang, clang of hammer on iron.

HUTGHESON URGES WILLKIE'S ELECTION
Times Special | WASHINGTON, Oct. 11 —William M. Hutcheson of Indianapolis, president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, today urged labor to support Wendell Willkie for the Presidency. “Mr. Willkie’s campaign is the fight of the common man against the forces which would deprive him of his democratic rights,” he said. “The two-term tradition is more vital to our national freedom than even. the Constitution, since the Constitution can be set aside by the President with the support of the Supreme Court at any time. “Wendell Willkie has a clean labor record. He has dealt fairly with unions in the plants he has controlled. He is able, a man of action and a great liberal.”
Warning against perpetuation of tenure in office through exercise of political power, Mr. Hutcheson said: “Labor is the first and chief sufferer from the rise of dictatorship because the rich are prctected by wealth and social influence. “We must say to Washington and its bureaucrats: ‘You shall not regiment labor—you shall not destroy the freedom of America.’”

HILLIS ATTACKS | ‘WHALE RULE’
‘Has Been Governor Nearly 8 Years.’
Frank McHale, Democratic national committeeman “has been Governor for nearly eight years,” Glen R. Hillis, Republican nominee for Governor, charged in a campaign talk last night at Salem. Mr. Hillis added that Mr. McHale now is “trying to elevate another
Governor for another four years.” At Scottsburg today, Mr. Hillis pledged that if he is elected, ‘“favoritism in the selection of highway paving materials and Kkickbacks on contracts” will have no place in his administration. State Senator William E. Jenner
voters that under the State Reorganization Act, experienced workers—Republicans and anti-New Deal Democrats—were ousted from their ‘state jobs and “their places filled with peanut politicians whose only ability was to deliver the vote for their masters in the precincts back home.” Police and firemen’s pension unds are threatened by a Democratic Senate Bill, No. 4269, which provides for extending Social Security to employees of states and their political subdivisions, Raymond E.
