INWSWAIN VOTE Manpower Draft Clause Vote 207 to 11—Bill Poll Late Today. By the Associated Press. Approaching a final vote on the McSwain anti-war profits bill, the House today confirmed its action to exempt labor from a section to draft manpower and industrial, financial and material resources to conduct war. The vote was 207 to 11. Parliamentary technicalities pre- vented a vote on whether to send the bill to the Senate until late afternoon. )« At one point in the proceedings, Representative Burdick, Republican, of North Dakota introduced a bill to make manufacture of war implements an exclusive Government business after July 1, 1936. Without even a murmur of dissent, the House pushed into the bill the amendment to take all excessive war profits,. It was passed after House leaders had bowed to demands for drastic taxation and after Representa- tive McSwain himself had offered the amendment He said it would provide a hook on which the Senate might hang any- thing it wants in the form of specific taxes, such as those suggested in the bill backed by the Senate Munitions Committee. As the amended bill stood today, and as it seemed likely to go to the Senate, it provided: For the drafting in war time of all men between 21 and 45, the mo- bilization of management of business and industry, and the financial, ma- terial and industrial resources of the Nation. Labor, as such, is exempted specifically from conscription. It also calls for imposition of a “ceiling” on prices at the beginning of hostilities to prevent their sky- rocketing.

Robbins, who had served the United States in various diplomatic capacities for more than 25 years, died early yesterday in Doctors’ Hospital of pneumonia that developed a week ago after a severe cold. Successively he served at Buenos Aires, Mexico City and Guatemald before being assigned to duty in the State Department in 1916. He served as aide to the Council of Ministers of France, who visited the United States in 1917, and was attached to the Belgian Commission to this country later in the same ar. Returning to foreign service, Rob- bins served at Buenos Aires and Santiago, before he was recalled to Washington to become acting chief of the division of Near Eastern af- fairs in the State Department. He became chief of the division in 1921. Arms Parley Adviser. Robbins acted as an adviser to the American delegation at the Confer- ence on Limitation of Armament in Washington in 1921-22, served on the Foreign Service Personnel Board and was named counselor of embassy jat Rome in 1925. | In July, 1928, he was appointed the United States to serve as secretary of the American delegation to the International Conference of American States on Conciliation and Arbitration in 1929. Robbins was named chief of the Division of Protocol in the State | | Department in September, 1931, and served here until his appointment as | | Minister to Canada. , The Minister and veteran of the diplomatic service was taken to Doc- tors’ Hospital last Monday after he had contracted a severe cold. Mem- bers of his family, who had remained | close to him when his condition be- ! came critical, were at his bedside. Appointed in 1933. When Mr. Roosevelt visited Wash- after his election, Robbins was one of those who greeted him officially on behalf of President Hoover. In 11933 Mr. Roosevelt nominated his cousin as Minister to Canada and the {Senate confirmed the appointment. | Before taking up his regular duties at Ottawa, Robbins went on tem- porary duty at London in connection with the impending economic con- ference and was received by King George. As Minister to Canada he worked for a “hand-in-hand” relation between the two countries in work toward prosperity. “We can progress hand in hand with this work,” he said in an address at Montreal last year. Robbins was born in Brooklyn, son of the late Charles Albert Robbins and Mrs. Catherine Delano Robbins. His mother, now Mrs. Price Collier, widow of the author, is a sister of Mrs. James Roosevelt, mother of the President. Harvard Graduate of 1908, Robbins attended Groton School and was graduated from Harvard in 1908. He started on his diplomatic career the next year, when he became secretary to the American Minister to Portugal. Later that year he became secretary to the American Minister to_Argentina. It was while he held this latter post that he was married in 1910 in Buenos Aires to Miss Irene de Bruyn of Buenos Aires, daughter of Casimir de Bruyn, railroad man and banker. Robbins’ work in the diplomatic service in Europe and Latin America followed. Besides his widow and mother, sur- vivors are a daughter, Mrs. Alexander Cochrane Forbes of New York, and two sons, Warren Delano, jr., and Ed- ward H. Robbins. HULL EXPRESSES DISTRESS.

On one project 10 policemen were guarding six workers, while a dozen pickets stood around. The strikers want increased food allowances. Because not all the men work every day the city authorities do not know how many are striking, but at least 230 quit work on Friday. There were 86 who refused to strike. . Strange Insects Found.

I have worked closely with Mr. Robbins during recent years and I know the enthusiasm, the interest and the ability with which he has discharged his duties. “His many years of experience in the foreign service, which he entered in 1909, and his personal charm en- abled him to make very real and very practicable contributions to the friendly relations between Canada and the United States.” Pierre Boal, counselor of the legation in Ottawa, will become charge d'af- faires pending the appointment of Robbins’ successor. State Department officials said no consideration has been given to the appointment of a new Minister and eexpressed doubt that the President would take any action in the immedi- ate future. Charles V. Imlay, lawyer, and class- mate of Mr. Robbins, recalled today that Mr. Robbins addressed a gather- ing of his old Harvard classmates, the class of 1908, in New York City two weeks ago. “It was the first time in many years that Warren was able to meet with his class, the New York associa- tion,” Mr. Imlay said today. Mrs. Robbins spent last Monday in ‘Washington arranging for the opening of her Georgetown home—at 1534 Twenty-eighth street. The Robbins family had occupied this house off and on during several periods of Mr. Robbins’ diplomatic career. Shortly before the World War, Mr. Robbins was called to Washington and assigned to duty in the division of Latin affairs of the State Depart- ment. He held the post one year. Later he came back to the city in various capacities in the diplomatic corps and became quite a social fa- vorite. For a time he was White House ceremonial officer, replacing the dapper James Clement Dunn. Mr. Robbins was appointed to this post by President Hoover. ‘Well known in Washington because of his many periods of intermittent service, Mr. Robbins was equally well known in several European capitals. He was a friend of King George of England, Mussolini and the late Pres- ident von Hindenburg.

CHICAGO, April 8 () —Sewell Avery, president of Montgomery Ward & Co., which was ordered today to surrender its Blue Eagle, said last night that administrative machinery for the retail code under the N. R. A. is “illega, and unfair.” Washington advices said the with- drawal of the N. R. A. emblem was for the company’s refusal to pay code assessments. Walter A. Knoop, exec- utive secretary of the local retail code authority, said the firm has complied fully with labor requirements of the code. Avery said the assessment, which the code authority sought to collect, aggregates some $30,000 for the firm's employes in Chicago and other cities in which retail stores are operating.

Thomas, who was being questioned at length today, by State’s Attorney James H. Pugh, is said to have ad- mitted to police that Boland offered him a part in the alleged bank rob- bery plot, saying the robbery would net them “between $65000 and $70,000.” ‘Thomas, officers stated, said the robbery was to have taken place two weeks ago.

PRESIDENT REACHES PORT. Arrives at Jacksonville Tanned by Tropic Fishing. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., April 8 (#).— Refreshed by his vacation at sea, President Roosevelt arrived here today aboard the naval destroyer Farragut to begin his return trip by train to the Capital. The President was greeted at the docks by Gov. Dave Sholtz, who came here from Tallahassee last night for the occasion, and Mayor John T. Al- sop, jr. A special train was waiting for the journey to Washington and the Chief Executive was quickly whisked from the docks to the station through lanes of cheering citizens. He nheaded to shore with a deep tan acquired during nearly two weeks of fishing in the blue waters of the trop- ics and appeared ready for action on the long-awaited work relief program. The destroyer Farragut carried the President from his vacation yacht, the Nourmahal, owned by Vincent Astor. The Farragut was trailed by the destroyer Claxton in the swift journey to the mainland. ‘There appeared to be little doubt that the President would sign the work relief measure, but it was stated he was going to look it over first. It is entirely possible he will confer with chief Government aides before affix- ing his signature. He has well in mind the machinery to carry out the program aimed at putting 3,500,000 workers on the job by next Fall. This set-up probably will be announced immediately. Marvin H.
