A—2 ¥¥% COURT BILL EVOKES RULES FOR DEBATE Senators May Filibuster Under Limitation on Speeches. By the Associated Press. The administration’s efforts to force the court bill to a vote have called into play Senate rules which are used only | during times of stress and strain. In ordinary times, the Senate works | almost without rules. Virtually all its business is done by unanimous | agreement. Even decisions to end de- bate and vote are reached by such agreements. Under this procedure, a Senator rnn\ talk on anything at any time, for as| long as he chooses. No curb can be placed upon him without his consent. | Decisions about the leneth of ses-| elons, and the days for sessions, are left to the majol leader. His word | is rarely challenged. All this suddenly changes, however, | whenever the Senate runs into a fili- | buster, or leaders fear a Afilibuster. ' Such has been the case during the| court *debate. Try to Prevent a Vote. When filioustering. opponents of a | measure try by every means available to prolong debate an " prevent a vote. Supporters of the bill try to curb de- bate and force a vote.

SCOUT NEWS. HE Boy Scouts are gone. The streets which ran red (and lots of other colors) with necker- chiefs have resumed their normal appearance. Memories and mementos remain of their visit, the most vivid of the former group being that of A woman who insists she saw a gangling Scout jump over an au- tomobile which she says was going to run him down. The mementos consist largely of au- tographs. The city knows how boys write, boys all the way from Siwash to Siam. The boys had a good time. Wash- ington had a good time. The papers devoted a great deal of space to the jamboree. Reporters shed great blobs of perspiration in the pursuit of Scout news It was all very happy, but we still have & couple of Scout sto- ries (in spite of the thoroughness of the reporters) to tell. * % ox ¥ RIDE. One of them concerns a hacker who was among those making lots of dimes by carrying Scouts at 10 cents per Scout. It was a profit- able practice, especially for drivers who rent cabs and don't have to worry about getting springs re- paired as a penalty for overload- ing. The hacker hero of this tale wos one of those. He had a huge lnad one day when he ran into the cab's owner. “Hey, you,” shouted the latter as the cab went sagging by, “why don’t you go back and get the Scoutmaster?” The hacker still is laughing about that.

P |in Blue* | when Gershwin and Whiteman “Rhapsody in Blue” Is Brain Tumor Victim. Bs the Assoctated Press HOLLYWOOD, July 12— Death, triking swiftly, has ended the career of George Gershwin, whose “Rhapsody lifted jazz music from Tin Pan Alley to the level of the classics. He came up from a $15-a-week song plugger to compose scores for film musicals at a reputed $250,000 a year. He was a Pulitzer Prize winner., Putting it another way, Pandro S, Berman, who directed Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in a picture as they danced to Gershwin's songs, said: “He was a supreme artist in his rare ability to iink clas Rl mu<lL with the swift tempo of today Gershwin was 38. He died here yesterday of a brain tumor. after a hurried.” futile operation. One spe- cialist had flown here from Berkeley, and another, Dr. Walter Dandy of Baltimore, was ready to fly from New York Was Working on Film Musical. He and Ira Gershwin, his brother who writes lyrics, were working on the music for a new motion picture, “Goldwyn Follies.” An illness of a few days before had been accepted as a nervous breakdown. Saturday he lapsed into a coma from which he did not emerge. The bodv was to be sent | to New York today for funeral serv- ices and burial. Memorial services will be held here Thursday Gershwin was born in Brooklyn. He showed his first interest in music at the age of 10 and received a meager education in it. At 19 he wrote his first musical comedy. “La. La, Lucille.” and there followed the scores for five of George White's Scandals. His best known work, “Rhapsody in Blue.” had its premiere in 1923 at Aeolian Hall, ‘Whiteman's night club band of the classic had come to sniff, but fin- ished, they rose to cheer. The blue rhapsody bridged a gap between jazz and the classics. Theory of Music. “Music, to be true and lasting.” Gershwin said, “must repeat the thoughts and aspirations of the peo- ple and the times. My people are Americans. My time is today.” His popular “Sewanee” sold more than 2,000,000 copies. His Washington's political life, won him a Pulitzer Prize in 1932. “He did an operatic version of Heyward's Negro life play, “Porgy.” staged by the Thea- ter Guild, besides which there were the outstanding “Concerto in F" and “American in Paris.” Gershwin in recent years had di- vided his time between New York and Hollywood, buying a home in Beverly Hills. His brother, a sister, Mrs. Leo- pold Godowsky of Rochester, N. Y., and his mother, Mrs. Rose Gershwin, survive him. Whiteman, to whom he had dedi- cated “Rhapsody in Blue,” said Gershwin's death was “a great blow to those millions of music lovers who received his arresting compositions so enthusiastically. “His passing is a great loss to all musical America,” said Dr. Walter Damrosch, dean of American con- ductors. The family finances of Morris and Rose Gershwin were stretched to pro- vide 9-year-old George with lessons at 50 cents each. Eventually he came under the tute- lage of Charles Hambitzer, jr., who gave him his first direct encourage- ment, and recognized in young Gersh- win great musical possibilities.
