S.

Speer, project manager of the Fim Creek demonstration area. Until July 1, the SCS had been employing about 80 men In the field, paying them partly from WPA and partly from department of agriculture funds. In the future, few if any men will be paid from departmental funds, and only about 40 WPA laborers will be assigned. In addition, the WPA assignment is on a monthly basis, and the number which may receive work next month Is indefinite. The technical staff will remain about unchanged for the time being.

The new policy is not unexpected, and is established In accordance with the long-time plan for the SCS which contemplates making it a permanent agency, the duties of which will be to give technical ad-. rice and service to farmers without 1 providing labor and equipment for soil conservation work as it has been doing In the past. As a result, no new contracts will be entered into in this area which obligate the government to provide labor or equipment. A half-dozen or so agreements which are already In the mill, however, will be completed. After January 1, 1938, Mr.

Speer said the project probably will be on a 'maintenance' status, whicn means that the local office will be used largely for supervisory work, and to provide technical assistance for cooperators requesting it. The technical staff will probably be reduced, with some of the men now employed being transferred to other, newer projects. When the SCS Is put onto a permanent basis, the Iola office probably will be retained here. It now is headquarters for several other i projects in this part of Kansas, and it is logical to assume that clerical and administrative work required by those projects will center here. Robinson Death Shocks Arkansas Robinsons Death A Near-Fatal Blow To the Court Bill Some Leaders Predict the Fight Will Be Abandoned and Effort Made for Early Arjoumment of Congress (By the Associated Press) Washington, July 14.

a leaders expressed agreement today that the death of Administration Leader Robinson was a "serious blow to the Roosevelt court bill and some forecast it would be abandoned. While most discussion of the court bills prospect was off the record, pending word from President Roosevelt and burial of Senator Robinson, there was widespread talk among senators of dropping the measure, cleaning up the legislative program as quickly as possible, and adjourning. At the White House, however. Chairman Pittman (D-Nev) of the senate foreign relations committee, expressed the belief that the fight over the bill would be resumed in four or five days. Visits with Roosevelt.

He was at the executive mansion for a luncheon with the president. Senator Berry (D-Tenn), first senator to see President Roosevelt after Robinsons death, told newsmen he believed the loss of the leader would effect no change in the vote on the bill. In adjourning today out of respect for Robinson, the senate broke up the parliamentary strategy he had devised to overcome what he considered a filibuster against the bill. Instead of adjourning, Robinson has recessed the senate daily since the court fight started so as to run the fntire debate into a single day and limit the number of speeches that could be made upon it. Can Introduce New Bills.

The adjournment meant that the legislative log-jam back of the court bill could be broken. When the senate resumes work, it will begin a new legislative day. This will permit Introduction of the ever-normai granary bill, and consideration of pending conference reports without interruption of the court debate if it Is decided to go on with that discussion. But Senator Borah (R. Idaho), one of the oppositions most trusted strategists, Predicted that congress might adjourn within two weeks if the court controversy is dropped.

He suggester that it was "unlike-qons dn pinoA azraas atn controversial matters as the farm bill, wage-and-hour legislation, or governmental reorganization this late in the session. Veto Vote Is Next Issue. An effort to override the Presidents veto of a bill extending low interest rates on federal land bank major issue and perhaps the last loans, Borah said, may be the bill the senate would pass. The Arkansas senator was directing the drive to push the compromise measure through the senate and was the principal author of the substitute. lie had been given a free hand by President Roosevelt to negotiate a bill the senate would pass.

The immediate effect of Robinsons death was to interrupt the furious debate. What the ultimate effect might be, no one was willing to forecast immediately. Senator Wheeler after expressing regret at the untimely passing of a political and personal friend predicted the court controversy might be terminated speedily as a result of the leaders death. "I beseach the president to drop this court fight lest he appear to fight against God. Death Due to Fight.

The last part of the remark of the opposition leader to the court reorganization bill was a quotation from the old testament. If it had not been for this court f.ght, Wheeler continued, Jce Robinson would be alive today. There were others in the senate who could step into the leadership in Robinsons place, but there were few who had the personal following and could muster the loyal support of the Democratic membership to quite the same extent. Even under Robinsons leadership the line-up was so close that enactment of the compromise measure was definitely endangered. Even friends of the measure only claimed a margin of two or three votes over the required majority.

All Lack Support. All three of the Democrats most prominently mentioned to succeed Robinson as senate leader Senators Harrison of Mississippi, Byrnes of South Carolina, and, Barkeley of Kentucky have come out for the court measure but none of them participated in its drafting or has been in very close contact with the negotiation to rally support for it. Speculation arose in some quarters that President Roosevelt might withdraw his demand for the legislation and content himself, perhaps, with a constitutional amendment for compulsory retirement of Judges. Robinsons death came within a few hours of another major blow to the court bill a vigorous declaration of opposition from Representative Sumners (D-Tex), chairman of the powerful house judiciary committee. Sumners, veteran chairman of the house judiciary committee, surprised his colleagues late yesterday by an Impassioned plea that the senate abandon "what I think is an unnecessary piece of legislation.

There will be additional retirements from the supreme court, he predicted, when we take the lash off the Judges. Los Angeles, July 14. (AP) A retired and respected citizen.

Demo Leader Dies Suddenly i Senator From Arkansas Is The Victim of Heart At- tad His Loss Deals a Severe Blow to Admin-; istration in Congress (By th Associated Press) Washington, July 14. Senator Joe T. Robinson, Democratic leader since 1922 and President Roosevelt's chief senate advisor, died suddenly today in his capital apartment home. Robinsons body was discovered at 8:15 a. m.

(EST) by the familys colored maid, Mary Jasper. Coroner A. Magruder MacDonald said his death was due to heart disease. I Doctor George W. Calver, capitol physician said Robinson apparently had left his bed about midnight and had gone to the bathroom Where he fell face downward.

Calver said Robinson, who was 64 years old, had suffered several heart attacks in recent months. An Attack In Senate. The physician said that when Robinson made the address which touched off fiery senate debate on the court Issue he became very pale and apparently cut his address short. I did not see him at the time, Calver said, but many who were there noticed he became very pale and apparently cut his speech short. Senator Copeland rushed to his side when he stopped speaking.

Tentative plans were made to send Senator Robinsons body to Arkansas tomorrow evening. Friends Gather at Home. As word of his death spread over the capital, many of his colleagues Went to the Robinson home, the first to arrive were Senators Harrison and Walsh "I am Shocked" beyonCPftfpresBlon," Harrison said as he departed. Senator Robinsons death was most tragic, coming, as it did, in the midst of one of his greatest fights and Just before, he was to be honored to a place on the supreme bench. The Arkansas house (delegation also called in a group at the Robinson apartment.

Senator Hattie Caraway, Robinsons colleague from Arkansas, announced she would accompany the body home. Both senate and house made plans to suspend business Immediately after convening at noon out of respect, to the dead leader. Blow to Administration. The sudden death of the senator shocked the capital and threw the administrations legislative program into turmoil. Robinson was personally in charge of the administrations two major legislative campaigns to enact President Roosevelts bills to reorganize the courts and the executive departments.

His colleagues generally had expected his appointment to the supreme court to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Justice Van Devanter. Although Robinsons health had not been quite as good as in former years, his sudden death was a tremendous shock to his senatorial colleagues and all of official Washington. Author of Substitute. The Democratic leader had been working with terrific energy during recent weeks in an effort to devise a compromise court bill for which he could obtain senate approval. The substitute measure now under debate was drafted under his direction.

He also had given close personal attention to the government reorganization program. Two or three weeks ago he personally introduced a compromise bill to carry out the chief executives reorganization program and had called his committee to begin work on it today. Some of the Arkansas senators closest friends, however, had, been disturbed by his physical condition. Health Was Failing. He had missed several days from the senate during recent weeks due to the strain on his physique.

After attending a strategy conference with his chief lieutenants on the court bill yesterday morning, Robinson returned to his home instead of attending the senate session because he did not feel up to par. There was no Indication, however, that his illness was serious. Robinsons home, where he was found today, is directly across the capitol plaza from the senate wing of the capitol. He was temporarily living alone as Mrs. Robinson had gone to Little Rock, Ark.

Speculate on Successor. The sudden death of Robinson gave rise immediately to speculation over his successor as Democratic leader. When talk of his possible appointment to the supreme court began, three major possibilities were mentioned for leader Senator Byrnes of South Carolina, Harrison of Mississippi and Barkley of Kentucky. Robinson had been one of the outstanding political figures in Washington. After Attending the University of Arkansas and the Virginia law school, Robinson began reading law Retires.

New Record for Distance Established by Soviet Airmen When They Come Down Near San Jacinto in a Pasture (By tl Associated Press) San Jacinto, July 14. Three daring Soviet airmen landed In a pasture three miles west of here early today with a new long dis- tance flight record established in an epochal flight across the North Pole from Moscow. Beset by fog and a leaky gasoline tank, the trio ended their amazing adventure at 8:27 a.

The three Pilot Mikhail Orom-off, Co-Pilot Andrei Yumosheff, and Navigator Sergei Danilin flew as far down the Pacific coast as San Diego but were blocked by fog and retraced their course toward March Field, an army base only 25 miles from this mountain community.

Not Sure of Position. The mountain range between San Diego and March Field was confusing to them, and they did not know Just where they were when the gasoline tank sprang a leak. The landing of the big red mono- plane, powered by a single huge motor, was witnessed by several ranchers. The fliers were unable to speak English but through written notes prepared in advance in Mo-cow and signs they made known their first wants a bath, food, and sleep. They managed by signs to Indicate that they did not have detailed maps of the location of March Field.

Can't Understand Names. They left Moscow early Monday morning. It was equivalent to 6122 p. m. (CST), Sunday.

They landed at 8:27 a. m. (CST) this morning in a pasture near San Jacinto, about 25 miles from March Field. It was difficult for the welcomes here even to understand the names, but being army folk, the greeters knew the leader of the flight was a colonel. By signs and pointing they made clear that they had been lost In the fog.

They pointed to San Diego, 70 miles south of here, on the map and moved a finger In circles. Indicating they had circled around 1 their chosen goal.

Then the gasoline tank sprang a leak. They were over the San Jacinto mountains, only 20 miles from March Field at one time, apparently. From the maze of mountains and rough terrain suddenly a welcome flat area was seen. It was the pasture, 3 miles west of San Jacinto. They eased the plane down.

The gas tank was leaking a stream. But the safe landing was made after the plane had circled a few times. It was some time before anyone reached the scene. Word was phoned to San Jacinto by the ranchers, and relayed to March Field. Flies to the Scene.

Major Victor H. Strahm Jumped into a single-seater army plane and flew to the scene. He was followed by a half dozen army guards la an automobile. The three men beamed with smiles at the greeting but three things were uppermost in their minds. These were bath, eat and sleep.

It was 3:22 a. m. Monday, Moscow time, (6:22 p. m. C.

Big Battle To At Fort Riley in a small lawyers office back in 1892. Two years later, he was elected to the general assembly of his home state. Long a Public Servant. While serving in the legislature, Robinson continued to practice law, and has, off and on, since. But public office became his chief career when he was elected to congress in 1902, during the administration of President Theodore Roosevelt.

After serving in the house ten years, Robinson retired to become governor of Arkansas. He only stayed in the governors office a few months, however, because a vacancy appeared in the senate and hewas quickly chosen to fill it. Robinson was serving only his second term in the senate when he became the recognized leader of the opposition to ratification of the Washington arms treaty. This projected him Into position to be chosen Democratic leader in 1922 when Oscar Underwood, of Alabama, retired from that post. Becomes Majority Lftdwe- When the Democrats gained control of the senate along with the election of Franklin D.

Roosevelt, Robinson became majority leader. As such, he has been the New Urals legislative chieftain, and steered through congress the mass of new laws initiated by President Roosevelts administration. Even before he became senate leader, Robinson had become recognized nationally in the Democratic party. He was chairman of the party convention in 1920 which selected Roosevelt as vice-presidential candidate. Eight years later the Democratic convention chose him as vice-presidential candidate to run on the ticket with Governor Al Smith, of New York.

Because of that, he had been chosen as the official administration spokesman for replies to Smith's attacks on the New Deal. Guides 1936 Convention. Again in 1936, when Roosevelt was renominated at Philadelphia, Robinson was the conventions permanent chairman. In his capacity as majority leader during the New Deal, Robinson supported the administrations program from beginning to end. Critics have contended that he was abandoning his principles in doing so, because he was a conservative at heart.

But others have contended that Robinsons career displayed a consistent streak of liberalism. From his early house days he supported child labor and anti-trust legislation as well as other measures, characterized as "liberal. He was without doubt one of the senates most popular members despite a violent temper which on occasion caused him difficulties. Away from work, Robinson was one of the most genial of men. He was famous for hi3 story telling.

His chief recreations were hunting and fishing. WARNER BAXTER AMONG THE HIGHEST PAID ACTORS Washington, July 14.

For Years, the Senator Had Stood Highest in Affections and Regard of His Home State Lonoke, Ark, July 14. The death today of Joseph Taylor Robinson shocked his native Arkansas where he became a sort of institution a revered tradition. Governor Carl E.

Bailey said his death was "a tragic loss to the nation, the state and the party. Its simply another of those situations In which a man literally gave his life to his work, he added. Under Arkansas law Governor Bailey must call a special election not less than 60 nor more than 120 days hence to fill the vacancy the election, he might make a temporary appointment. Bailey's Name Mentioned Recent political discussion based on the theory that senator Robinson would be appomted to the supreme court brougnt the name of Governor Bailey to the front as a possible senatorial candidate. At 42 Bailey is starting the seventh month of his first term.

His election came after one term as attorney general. Contemporaries In this little community, 24 miles east of Little Rock, where Robinson was bom and reared, recall the stripling lawyer, just of age, who moved Juries In courtroom debate In the same way he was to sway the senate and shape the countrys and Democratic partys destinies 40 years later. Eventually his powerful voice was heard outside the community, and the rise that followed was literally meteoric. He became a state legislator at 22, a congressman at 30, governor and senator at 40, Democratic vice-presidential nominee at 56. Ambitious and Determined.

"He was one of the brightest boys I ever saw when he came Into my office to read law, the late Judge T. C. Timble of Lonoke, his first professional associate, once commented. "He was ambitious and determined, and nothing could keep him from being successful. I think he was a natural bom politician.

More than two score years in the political arena gave Robinson a unique place in Arkansas public affairs. Necessarily absent from the state most of the time, he still dominated the scene back home through sheer power of prestige. Becomes an IdoL Before his role in national affairs earned him the description of "statesman, he ceasd in the minds of many-to be simply an officeholder and became sort of an Idol to Arkansas. No professional glad-hander or back-slapper, Robinson again and again won re-election by smashing majorities, reflecting a public following which all public figures In this state recognized. Few cared to make long-term political plans without inquiring what Joe Ts attitude would be.

In his early barnstorming-campaign days, it was said of him that he learned and remembered the first names of more Arkansans than any other man of his day, and the early courtroom forensics stood him In good stead on the stump. Old Traits Abandoned. In later years, however, it was always as a statesman, not a barnstormer, that he came back to the home folks to retain his senate seat. Reserve and dignity became his forte, and they sat well on his massive frame and broad, square face. Frequently a lion In the senate, he was among his constituents consistently quiet, gracious, thoughtful In speech and gesture.

When he ran for his fifth senate term last year, Robinson did not even bother to make a formal campaign, although four candidates announced against him In the primary and two stayed on the ballot. When the ballots were counted, the senior senator from Arkansas bad better (Continued onFafe 6, CeL I). By thi AitocUtad Pr) Junction City, July 14.
