ROBINSON'S DEATH SHOCKS ARKANSAS “One of Brightest Boys | Ever Saw,” His First Law Partner Said. B the Associated Press LITTLE ROCK, Ark., July 14 —The death of Joseph Taylor Robinson shocked today his native Arkansas, where he became a sort of institution. Contemporaries in the little commu- nity of Lonoke, 24 miles east of Little Rock, where he was born and reared. recall the stripling lawyer, just of age, who moved juries in court room debale in the same way he was to sway the Senate and shape the coun- try's and the Democratic party’s des- @inies 40 years later. Eventually his powerful voice was heard outside the community, and the rie that followed was literally meteor- fc. He became a State legislator at 22, a United States Representative at 30. Governor and Senator at 40, Demo- eratic vice presidential nominee at 56. “Natural Born Politician.” " “He was one of the brightest boys 1 ever saw when he came into my office to read law.” the late Judge T. C. Trimble of Lonoke, his first profes- sional associate, once commented. *'He was ambitious and determined, and nothing could keep him from being successful. I think he was a natural born politician.” More than twoscore years in the Political arena gave Robinson & unique place in Arkansas public affairs. Nec- essarily absent from the State most of the time, he still dominated the acene back home through sheer power of prestige No professional backslipper, glad-hander Robinson again and again won re-election by smashing majorities, reflecting a public follow- ing which all lesser public figures in this State recognized. Few cared to make long-term political plans with- out inquiring what “Joe T.'s” attitude would be. Remembered First Names, In his early paign days it was said of him that he learned and remembered the first names of more Arkansans than any other man of his da eourt room forensics stood him good stead on the stump. In later years, however, it was al- ways as a slalesman, nol a barn- stormer, that he came back to the in 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, Fre- quently a lion in the Scnate, he was among his constituents consistently quiet, gracious, thoughtful in speech and gesture, In a crowd, cane hand. he moved slowly and with dig- Rity. nodding to acquaintances, 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 bai- lots were counted, the senior Senator from Arkansas had better than 100.000-vote majority over the com- bined opposition Wed Lonoke Girl. He war married on December 15 1896. io Miss Ewilda Gertrude Miller of Lonoke, who became—according 10 her mother, Mrs. Jesse Miller—"as &00d a politician as Joe.” A keen student of government, she WAS an active participant in planning and managing every campaign of her husband since the turn of the cen- tury. When Robinson came back home In 1928 1o receive formal notification of his nomination for the vice presi- dency, the State-wide demonstrations | were admittedly in honor of both. Unremitiing drive, tireless energy, a genlus for dominating conference rooms were the instruments with which Robinson carved out his place Except for his unsiccessful campaign with Al Smith in 1928, he never suf- fered a defeat at the polls. Work came first with “Joe T.." but he always found time to play. Fishing, hunting, golf were his chief recrea- tions. in that order. For pure relaxa- tion he turned to detective stories, of which he owned an impressive collec- tion Down in the Southeast Arkansas rver bottoms, where many a boat house dweller called him “Joe," he found his favorite sport. An expert easter, he still-fished on occasion, some times sitting for hours In an open skiff without a nibble. In the seclusion of a woodland spot, among his cronies, the usually im- maculate senior Senator from Ar- kanses got down to his shirt sleeves and & pair of baggy pants and stretched out on a creek bank for a nap. But in sport. as in politics, Robin- son played to win. His intimates say be refused to come in from a day of fishing without & respectable catch, that be wouldn't abandon the hunt until his bag showed a kill. Election Within 120 Days. Gov. Carl E. Bailey, advised of the death of Senator Robinson, said it was “a tragic loss to the Nation, the 6tate and the party “It's simply another of those situa- tions in which & man literally gave his life to his work,” he added. Under Arkansas law Gov. Bailey must call & special election not less than 60 nor more than 120 days hence to fill the vacancy. Pending the elec- tion, he might make a temporary ap- pointment. Recent political discussion based on the theory that Senator Robinson would be appointed to the Supreme Court brought the name of Gov. Bailey to the front as a possible senatorial eandidate. At 42 he is starting the seventh month of his first term. His election came after one term as at- torney general. Robinson (Continued From First Page.) attended a straiegy conference with his chief lieutenants on the court bill and then returned to his home instead of attending the Senate session. There was no indication, however, that his indisposition was of a serious natuce, and the word of his death came as a great shock to the Capital. Friends said Robinson had attended the theater night before last with' Homer Adkins, an old friend from Little Rock. Worried about the con- dition of the Senator, Adkins re- quested permission to return to the Senator's home with him and spent the night. Adkins returned to Arkansas yesterday. Yesterday, after returning home, he spent most of the day in bed, friends [ 4 or | barnstorming cam- | and the early | in | e tor Robinson. fith Stadium last April. and Senator McNary, Republica leader in the Senate. ~A.

TLast night, they said. the eleva- | tor boy offered to stay. but wax as- | sured by Senator Robinson “I'm quite | all right.” | In addition to his labors over the court bill, he had given particular at- tention to the plan for reorganization of Government departments, another of the programs particularly desired by the White House. | Offered Compromise Bill. Two or three weeks ago, Senator | Robinson introduced a comprom | bill on this project and had arranged | to meet with colleagues today io dis- | cuss the measure further. Mrs. Robinson, the former | Ewilda Gertrude Miller, whom the| | Senator married in 1896, has been | back in their Little Rock home dur- | | ing the hot Summer weather here and | | the Senator had been living alone in | | his apartment, close by the Capitol. | | where he had given so many years | of his life in the service of the Nation. | ! Born Near Little Rock. Joseph Taylor Robinson was born | August 26, 1872. in a small rettlement | near Little Rock, Ark., the son of Dr. | James and Matllda Jane Robinson. | | His early education was obtained in | his own home, later in the rural ! schools and finally at the University of Arkansas. He studied law later at| the University of Virginia and in 1895 was admitted to the practice of law. | In 1894 he was elected to the Gen- eral Assembly of his home State. In 1900 he was a presidential elector. | Robinson came to Congress in 1903 | to serve in the House from the Fifty- | eighth through the Sixty-second Con- gresses. He resigned on January 14, 1913, to become Governor of his State three days later. The death of a Sena- tor from Arkansas left that seat vacant within a few days of Robinson becom- ing Governor, and on January 28, 1913, just 12 days after taking the guberna- torial office, he was chosen Senator. He took his seat on March 10 of that year, was re-elected in 1918, 1924, | 1930 and 1936. Although a figure of importance in the Senate during the early 1920's, | Robinson reached his greatest na- | tional stature in 1928 when he was chosen to run as vice presidential | candidate on the' Democratic ticket | | with Alfred E. Smith of New York. Fit Running Mate. Religion and prohibition were dom- inating issues of the year and Robin- son’s characteristics in these respects made him a particularly fit running mate for the New York Catholic and wet who headed the ticket. Despite the defeat of the ticket, Robinson’s militant campaign from coast to coast strengthened his prestige and when he returned to the Senate in the following Winter he was recog- nized by both Democrats and Repub- licans s one of the strong men of Congress. When the Rooseveli-Garner slate | was swept into office in 1932, Robin- | son without dispute was made ma- Jority leader in the Senate and has taken a strong hand in shaping the most far-reaching legislative program ever sponsored by any national ad- ministration. In 1936, when Roosevelt was re- nominated at Philadelphia, Robin- son was the convention's permanent chairman. In his capacity as majority leader during the New Deal, Robinson sup- ported the administration's program from beginning to end. Critics have contended he was abandoning his principles in doing so, because he was & conservative at heart, Liberalism in Career. But others have contended that Robinson's career displayed a con- sistent streak of liberalism. From his early House days, he supported child labor and anti-trust legisia- tion as well as other measures char- acterized as “liberal.” He was without doubt one of the Senate’s most popular members. Away from work, Robinson was one of the most genial of men. He was famous ‘| for his story telling. His chief recrea- tions were hunting and fishing. . Only last week end the Senator was one of a fishing party going out of Piney Point, Md. “As usual,” according to former Senator Harry B. Hawes of Missouri, “he (Robinson) topped all competitors. He was probably the best outdoor man in either branch of Congress.” Robinson’s whole character re- flected his early background, from his birth in a country cabin, the ninth of 11 children, his affiliation at the age of 12 with the Methodist Church which stood on a plot of ground do- nated by his father and his aptitude as an orator which has stood him in Miss | | and THE EVENING President Roosevelt receiving the outstanding souvenir of the Arkansas Centennial, an especially minted half dollar bear- ing the likeness of Senator Robinson.

Returned as Statesman. In later years, however, it was sl- ' Ways as a slatesman, not a barnstorm- er, that he came back to the nomefolks to retain his Senate seat Reserve and dignity became his forte, and they sat well on his mas- sive frame and broad, square face. Frequently a lion in the Senate, he was among his constituents consist- ently quiet, gracious, thoughtful in speech and gesture. In a crowd, cane in hand, he moved slowly and with dignity, nodding to acquaintances. ‘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 had better than a 100,000 majority over the combined opposi- tion. Senate (Continued From First Page.) renewed efforts to put it through the | Senate. Senator Robinson, he said, had given his life for the cause. The Senate met today at noon, heard officially of Robinson's death, listened to eulogies and expressions of regret and then adjourned out of re- spect io the memory of the Demo- cratic leader. The House also adjourned out of re- spect to Senator Robinson soon after it met. Representative Driver of Ar- kansas announced the death and of- fered resolutions of regret. Before it adjourned the House provided for ap- pointment of a delegation of 23 mem- bers to attend the funeral of Senator Robinson. The Senate adjournment brought to a dramatic end the “legislative day” of July 6, when the court bill debate was opened by Senator Robinson. It was Robinson's purpose to continue the “legislative day of July 6" until & vote could be had on the court bill compromise, which he had offered. By & series of recesses, at the conclusion of business in the Senate each da: the Senate maintained the continu- ance of the legislative day. Robinson, aided by Pittman as pre- siding officer, was intent on enforcing an old Senate rule that no Senator shall speak more than twice in one day on the same subject. They fig- ured this would make a successful Nlibuster against the court bill im- Ppossible. It was Mrs. Hattie Caraway, Sen- ator from Arkansas, widow of Senator Robinson’s former colleague, Thaddeus Caraway, who announced Robinson's death to the Senate. When the Senate met, Senator Copeland of New York had the floor, an aftermath of the recess yesterda) Mrs. Caraway sought recognition, but Copeland asked her to “bear with him” for a moment. The New York Senator paid a tribute to Senator Rob- ison and he warned his colleagues of the danger to health and life in the stress and turmoil of such a contest as that which has proceeded in the EDUCATIONAL.

Other Senators rose and eulogized the dead leader, includ- ing Barkley of Kentucky, McNary of | | Oregon, Republican leader of the | Senate: McKellar of Tennessee, Lewis of Tilinois, Vandenberg of Michigan, | | O'Mahoney of Wyoming, Harrison of | Mississippi, Wagner of New York, | Austin of Vermont, Neely of West Vir- | ginia, Byrnes of South Carolina, Ash- hurst of Arizona, Pepper of Florida | and Overton of Louisiana. | Want State Funeral. | The Democratic leaders are desirous of having a state funeral in the Senate chamber for the dead leader. They are awaiting final word in regard to this plan from Mrs. Robinson, who is in Little Rock. When they talked | with Mrs. Robinson over the telephone shortly before the Senate met, she was unable (0 reach an immediate decision i No business will be transacted in | the Senate until after the funeral of Senaior Robinson in Arkansas, it was announced by Senator Barkley and other leading Democrats, who held a conference this morning in the office of the secretary of the Senate, Col. | Edwin Halsey. It is expected |hn\; will carry all business over until next Monday, for the Robinson funeral probably will take place in Little Rock on Sunday. | President Roosevelt was informed | of Robinson's death at 8:30 a.m. by | one of his secretaries, Stephen Early. who called him on the telephone for that purpose. The President was | greatly shocked. He talked later with | Senator Pittman on the telephone land wrote a letter in longhand ex- pressing his deep regret to Mrs. Rob- | inson. The President also telegraphed & message Lo the Governor of Arkan- S4s. It is the President's purpose to attend the funeral services for Rob- | inson in the Senate, if they are held | there. It is not expected he will go | to Arkansas for the funeral there. | However. Vice President Garner may | return to Washington in time for | the funeral in the Senate and will head the congressional delegation which goes to Little Rock in any event. When Associate Justice Van Devanter | retired from the Supreme Court on June 2, there was an immediate de- mand from practically every member of the Senate that the vacancy be | filled by the appointment of Senator ' | Robinson. It was rumored that appointment to | the Supreme bench had been prom- ised Senator Robinson on more than one occasion by President Roosevelt. The appointment had not been made, however. On Robinson's successor as Senate leader will fall the task of handling the court bill, whether it is to be pressed further for passage or to be sidetracked. The fight over the bill may. indeed, have its effect on selection of a new Democratic leader. The leader will be picked in a caucus of the senatorial Democrats after the funeral. Three names have been mentioned in connection with the leadership. They were discussed about the Capitol corridors when Robinson was expected to be appointed to the Supreme Court, The three are Senalors Harrison, Barkley and Byrnes. Helped Draft Bill. Robinson was not only the leader in the floor fight for the court bill. He took a prominent part in the drafting of the compromise bill, after President Roosevelt's original measure apparently had become an impossibili- ty and the President had acquiesced | in a compromise. Senator Barkley was acting as tem- porary floor leader in the fight for the bill yesterday, in the absence of Senator Robinson, who did not attend the session. In fact, Barkley has been regarded 88 more actively interested in the fight for the bill than either Harrison or Byrnes, although they have also gone along with the President in this matter, Robinson had been Democratic leader of the Senate for many years, succeeding the late Senator Under- wood of Alabama in that office. He was leader while his party was in the minority during the Harding, —_— — % Reflects Radiant Heat Perfeet Insulation at Less Cost Everiasting Mineral—Not Damaged by || Fire or Water Mica Home Insulation Co. Democratic side of the chamber. Harrison Has Senlority. Senator Harrison has been chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. He is senior to the other Senators men- tioned for ieader in point of service, having come to the Senate in 1918 after serving eight years in the House, | For years he has been regarded as| one of the ablest debaters on the Dem- ocratic side of the Senate chamber, Senator Barkley bhas been aligned perhaps 1o = greater extent with the | more recently elected and more lib- eral Democratic Senators. Harrison has been regarded as more conserva- tive, and so has Bymes Barkley served as temporary chairman and keynote speaker at the last two Demo- cratic national conventions when President Roosevell. was nominated and renominated Senator Byrnes is starting his sec- ond term. However, leadership of the Democrats in the Senate has not al- ways gone by seniority. The late Sen- ator Underwood became Democratic leader soon after he had been elected | to that body. He previously bad served as Democratic leader of the House. Byrnes during the first four years of the Roosevelt administration was fre- quently regarded as a spokesman for the White House. More recently he has broken with the White House over the administration's sttitude on sit- down strikes and appropriations. The White House may undertake to pick a new Democratic leader for the Senate. If it should become known. however, that it was engeged in that effort, there might be a real row, in the light of the uncertain temper of the Democratic Senators, While the Senate was debating on the court bill yesterday Representative Sumners surprised his House col- leagues by an impassioned plea that the Senate abandon “‘what I think is an unnecessary piece of legislation.” ‘There will be additional retiremen:s from the Supreme Court, he predicted, “when we take the lash off the judges.” He indicated his committee would do its utmost to keep the bill from reach- ing a vote in the Houee. Petition Promptly Talked Of. Supporters of the measure, however promptly discussed getting up a peti- | tion to discharge Sumners’ group from further jurisdiction. Signatures of 218 of the 435 members would be needed. At the same time, the administration picked up a vote in the closely divided Senate. Senator Murray, Democrat, of Montana joined those publicly com- mitted to the measure. Sumners’ speech diverted some at- tention from the Senate debate, for it was his first public statement on the issue. Referring to the court bill as “this thing that is splitting the country Wwide open.” Sumners told the House: “The Judiciary Committee has kept this thing out of the House and it makes no apologies for it.” Many members on both the Demo- cratic and Republican sides applauded the Texan, who has the sixth longest service record in the House. He is the author of the recently enacted bill to let Supreme Court justices retire at 70 if they wish. “Sit-Down” on Issue Urged. Representative Golden, Democrat, of California asked Sumners if he | was advocating a sit-down strike on the legislation. “It_would be Broiled Maine Lobster Luncheon ___ good ihing fo sit 75. 1107 Conn.

To Urge Tax Program. | Meanwhile, Commissioner George E. !Alk'n said the Commissioners would | continue o urge passage of the tax program designed to meet the fiscal deficit in the new fiscal year. Action | on the tax program, he declared. would | make it unnecessary to borrow emer- gency funds. This loan plan is before the House District Committee today The Commissioners’ letter, forward- | ed after the situation was considered | 8t yesterday's board meeting, point- ed out that there is only sufficient | money belonging to the District in the Treasury to meet operating ex- penses until the early part of August “At that time these funds will become exhausted, and the District will then be placed in the serious predicament of being unable to meet its obli- | gations and pay the salaries of its employes,” the letter said. “You ecan readily picture the embarrassment tress which would grow out of this | eventuality.” Continuing, the letter said: “It tractors and other creditors of the District who have their obligations 1o meet have to be told that their bills cannot be paid, as the District has no funds with which to pay its debts. Worse for Others. “It would be far worse if the many thousand employes of the District compro- | | this fiscal year “in & state of uncer- and the probable suffering and dis- | would be bad enough should con- | firemen, school employes, per diem laborers and mechanics, most of whom undoubtedly are dependent upon their salaries for the payment of rent and the subsistence of themselves and their dependents, should have payless pay days" The Commissioners pointed out that failure of the tax bill brings sbout another serious situation relating %o the inability of the tax assessor o pre- pare his tax ledgers and tax bills for the payment of real estate taxes and personal property taxes. ‘The first half of these are due and collectible in September. The tax bill leaves the tax rate for tain the Commissioners pointed out. The House fixed & rate of $1.70 on real estate, but the Senate Com- mittee in reporting the bill, struck out that figure and substituted an addi- tional tax of 1 per cent on land values in the District. ‘The Commissioners pointed out that | even if the tax assessor's office should start its work now, it would necessitate the performance of extended overtime service in order to handle the bills by September 1. The longer the delay, they indicated, the more the eon- fusion, $2.50 Rate Seen. “Under the act of June 29, 1922." the letter continued. “the obligation is placed upon the Commissioners by A mandatory provision to fix & tax personal property to raise sufficient revenue, which, when considered with other revenues of the District, would enable the District to meet the pay- ment of its expenses under appropria- tions made by Congress. “Therefore, &s the matter mnow stands, if the need for such action | should come to pass, in the absence | of tax legislation or of authority to borrow funds from the United States | Treasury. it would mean the imposi- tion by the Commissioners of a tax rate on real estate and tangible Jper- sonal property of approximately $2.10 as compared with the present rate of $1.50, an increase of 60 cents, or an increase of 40 per cent. The Com- missoners are of the firm conviction that the imposition of such a tax | rate, based upon the assessed valua- | ton of property in the District sub- ject to taxation would be burdensome, onerous and unfair to local property ‘ owners.” The Commissioners reminded that { the same act of 1922 provides that | the District shall have at all times {in the Treasury sufficient funds to iopernle on a “pay-as-you-go” basis. !
