PHILLIPS THE CIRCUS'S HERE AND SCHOOL'S OUT! (Continued From Page 1) is tend in Harrisburg right now Twenty first ana ureenwooa What a Saturday night this is going to be! Fred Bradna, the' lithe, lean faced, alert ringmaster, who runs the show and whistles while he works, is taking his ease as we go backstage where the "Nepal procession is forming in what might be called orderly confusion, Fred's had a tough season but his chin's still up. Leg broken when he fell down a coal chute in Lan sine. on January 24. A crutch broke and threw him down five steps in Madison Square Gar den. Then a horse kicked him, Able to walk now, he's all cheered up, saying: "Things happen in three and I've had my three.

Glad he is to know that his niece's (Olympe Bradna)' picture, "Stolen Heaven," is playing Har risburg (Colonial). He wants to see it again, you bet. Show time coming up and Fred is eyeing a bit nervously the "Nepal procession, which doesn look like a procession at all. But it is and a corker as witnessed by these old eyes a few minutes later, featuring Frank 'Em Back Buck atop an undulating elephant and waving to the cheering crowd. "Nepal" fades through the exits and as if by magic the five rings and two stages are filled with roller skating bears, a horse rid ing lion (bossed by Dolly Jacobs) and black leopards, tame under the trainer's whip.

From then on something is go ing on every second in seven different spots. It's tough on the neck. Terrell Jacobs with a cageful of lions rivals the great Clyde Beatty. Who could say more? One minute the air is full of acrobats and the next the elephants are patiently going through their routines on the ground be low. Mile.

Jenee in her 'cloud swing brings memories of Lillian Leitzel. Trained horses and riders. The Cristianis in the center ring doing things never done before on horseback, winding up with twisting somersaults from one horse to another. The big' moment Gargantua the Great, 450 pound gorilla, rid ing majestically around the ring in a lighted, air conditioned, sound proof cage as Frank Buck declaims autobiographical statis tics "He's always plotting escape, tried to kill the one man who dares to feed him Larg est gorilla ever shown on this con tinent, etc." The sea lions doing the impossi ble for tossed fish and being almost human in their response to applause. The wire walkers next with t.ie spotlight on the Naitto troupe, Nio Naitto doing a backward flip and making it the first time.

Tumblers four deep! Rudy Ru dinoff and his Liberty horses! More thrills high in the air, featuring Miss Herna, queen of the aerial rings! Riding comedians, bring memories of Poodles Han neford and family! The parade of the clowns, led by Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs as the band blared "Heigh Ho." Living statuary! The Flying Concellos, who live up to program billing "Fly liked winged birds." By now, the rings and stages are populated with acrobats, apparently never on their feet. Time now for the audience to lose its collective breath. The Wallendas on bicycles and chairs are far above, perfectly balanced, and you sigh with relief when it's all over. Watch the jumping horses. One kicked thunder out of an automobile in Reading last night.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Bra den is right. The circus seems "Bigger and Better than Ever." They'll always be that way. This afternoon at in the evening at 8. Then off to Pittsburgh for more of the same. SHOWERS ARE FORECAST The weather for the week beginning Monday: Generally fair at beginning of week, showers near middle and toward end of week.

TWO MEN ABSOLVE PAIR OF ROBBERY Prisoner Pleads Guilty, Insists Companions Knew Nothing of Loan Firm Holdup TRIAL TO RESUME' MONDAY Trial of the men charged with the daylight robbery of the Co operative Land and Investment Company office in Market Square last April 25 will be resumed Monday, notwithstanding the opening of the June, term of common pleas court, Judge Frank Wickersham announced.

Platukes testifed that he end Comiskey committed the robbery alone, without the aid or knowl edge of the two men. "I thought of the possibility of robbing the place seven months ago when I was parked near there one day," he said.

"Then I went inside the office once when I was in town, about two months before the robbery, to look the place He told the jury that Burgio drove him and Comiskey to Harrisburg, but knew nothing of their plans. Burgio waited outside in the automobile during the rob bery, he said, but had no know! edge of it until the arrest seven hours later. He said they "accidentally saw" Marks on the street in Harris burg the day before the robbery, but insisted that he had no con nection with the crime. Pla tukes then told of visiting Marks' home in Summerdale after the hold up, and staying trjere for supper. "Afterwards we drove out to gether for a bottle of beer," he said, "and it was then that we were stopped by the police."

The chamber also turned a cold shoulder to a Republican proposal to hand over relief administration to the states and an effort by Senator Byrd (D Va) to wipe out the $965,000,000 appropriation for the, PWA.

Tire of Talking Tired at the end of three night sessions, the Senators acted on a score of amendments last night Long speeches were few and far between, and when one did come the speaker's argument was interrupted by loud cries of "vote." Senator Barkley of Kentucky, the Democratic leader, stepped from one deskto another during the last hours of debate, holding whispered conferences and presumably urging Senators to hold their tongues and let the bill come to a vote. The vote on passage came shortly before midnight. Galleries were almost empty and many Senators slouched in their chairs. Upon passage of the bill, Bark ley, told his weary listeners that Congress probably would adjoin next week end after sending the relief measure and a pending wage hour bill to the White House, Agreement Necessary The spending lending program now goes to a joint Senate House conference committee for the adjustment of differences between measures passed by the two chambers. The Senate bill totaled almost $600,000,000 more than the House measure.

The Senate increased by $175,000,000 the House allotment for the WPA, but provided that the sum should run the agency until next March 1. The House had voted $1,250,000,000 for work relief to last until February 1. Other Senate increases included $212,000,000 for farm benefit payments, $300,000,000 for additional slum clearance loans and $1,000, 000 for administrative costs of the rural electrification administration. Committee Named Senate members of the joint conference committee, who werd "urged by Barkley to work "dili gently for an agreement with the House, are Adams of Colorado, McKellar of Tennessee, Hayden of Arizona, and Byrnes of South Carolina, all Democrats, and Hale of Maine and Townsend of Delaware, Republicans. In its consideration of proposals to forbid the use of "political influence" by relief employes, the Chamber turned down, 35 to 33, an amendment by Senator Austin (R Vt) which would have provid ed fines and jail sentences for workers who used their positions to swing votes.

Then, by a vote of 33 to 32, it rejected a motion by Senator Burke (D Neb) to reconsider a proposal requiring the dismissal of WPA employes who participated in campaigns. The latter amendment, offered by Senator Hatch (D NM), had been rejected on a 40 to 37 vote Thursday night. On the final vote, Burke, Byrd and Copeland joined with these Republicans in opposition to the measure: Austin, Hale, Johnson of California, McNary of Oregon, Townsend of Delaware, Vanden berg of Michigan and White of Maine. Last minute amendments at tached to the measure included: A provision that President Roosevelt can override, in the event of an emergency, a provi sion requiring the WPA to allocate its funds so they will last for the period covered by the appropriation.
