Rollins, a York county fishernian and clammer, was brought to the stand for cross examination. Yesterday he told of seeing a struggle in the water near the Grand View Lighthouse and of hearing screams at the time of Mrs. Kane's drowning.

"Didn't you say at first you thought it was a child's was asked. "Yes, sir," Rollins answered. "There wasn't any good reason for you to go in and stop any trouble, was there?" "No sir." Rollins said he saw two automobiles on the beach. He also testified thnt he could not swim. Saw Two Bathers J.

CONGRESS WILL FULLY DEBATE HOOVER PLANS (Continued From Page 1) signment of members to be achiev-1 ed, the majority party is not ready to recommend legislation, nor is the machinery there to get bills to 8 vote. Between this mechanical difficulty and the desire to hear all the administration plans before comitting themselves, the Democrats were compelled to mark time. They chose general debate as the most profitable way to- do it. The pre-debate comment on the presidential message was generally critical on the Democratic side, generally friendly on the Republican.

None was exactly exuberant and most members discussed only the angles that most interested them. The senatorial stalemate which continued into today's session WAS sprung by the Democratic leader, Robinson of Arkansas. Balked By "Sons Of Wild Jackass" With a smile he called for election of a president pro tem. Through repeated ballots the 42 Democrotic votes were cast for the party's perennial candidate, Pittman of Nevada. Without talk the "Sons of the Wild Jackass" scattered their votes to various Republicans so as to keep the man who doubted them from getting the needed majority.

as a result kept the office temporarily as a holdover. If the tangue does not unravel itself soon, Republican leader Watson promises to get the knot cut in a party conference. Meantime from all sides sprung up bills 'and resolutions. The Reputlican regulars in both chambers lost no time in putting on the table legislative plans to enact the Hoover recommendations. Progressives Resolute Washington, Dec.

9 (A)--Republican Independents served notice on the party leadership today that they were resolute in their determination not to vote for Senator Moses of New Hampshire for president tem of the Senate. As they resumed the struggle against Moses, the Independents passed the word also that they would not support Senator Pittman of Nevada, the Democratic candidate. The determination split the Senate into three groups, neither of which could muster sufficient votes to elect and pointed to a long drawn out series of roll calls if all sides hold their ground. Democrats said they would hold their solid stand behind Pittman and would keep the business before the Senate until it was disposed of. Three ballots yesterday failed to result in an election.
