The largest congressional delegation ever to attend the burial of a Senator will leave Washington tomorrow night on the special train carrying the body of Senator Robinson back to Little Rock, Ark., for interment. Forty-five Senators and 23 Representatives have been chosen for the official delega- tion. Before the party leaves it will join in state funeral services in the Senate chamber, the fourteenth such cere- mony to be held there since the Civil War. The services will begin at 10 am., when the flower-banked coffin will be carried to the central arena of the Senate chamber, an arm'’s length from Robinson's vacant chair. & Mrs. Robinson on Way Here. Beats of honor on each side will be reserved for Mrs. Robinson and rela- tives, hurrying by train from Ar- kansas. President Roosevelt, his cabinet, Supreme Court justices, high officers of the Army and Navy and scores of uniformed diplomats will be grouped near the rostrum. Members of the House will cluster in the back of the chamber. Admission to the galleries will be by tickets apportioned among members of the Senate. The Rev. Ze Barney T. Phillips, Senate chaplain, will open the service with a reading from the Scriptures. There will be a hymn by a church quartet, not yet selected; a brief ser- mon by Dr. Phillips, another hymn and & benediction. ‘Walsh’s Funeral Last in Chamber. The last such funeral was conducted in March, 1933, for Senator Thomas J. Walsh, Democrat, of Montana, who was to have become Attorney General. Regarded as a rare tribute, state ceremonies are accorded only to the most respected of Senators. Work of the Senate will be vir- utally suspended until the congres- sional delegation returns from Little Rock on Tuesday. Senate records list funerals as those of: Solomon Foot, 1866; John E. Kenna, 1893; Zebulon B. Vance, 1894; Isham G. Harris, 1897; Edward C. Walthall, 1898; Marcus A. Hanna, 1904; Wil- liam B. Bate, 1905: Augustus O. Bason, 1914; Theodore E. Burton, 1929; Francis E.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., July 15.—Ar- kansas will bury with simple rites here Bunday her illustrious son, Senator Joseph Taylor Robinson. The State donned official mourning todsy while the Senator's stricken | widow and close relatives sped by train to Washington to return his body. Recovering slowly from the shock of his unexpected death yesterday, cit- izens looked in many directions for some one to fill his vacant Senate seat, but no figure emerged clearly in the grief-tinged speculation. The State’s political picture became overnight a jumbled jig-saw puzzle involving not only congressional am- bitions but the governorship and other | State offices. Prime question was | whether the State Democratic Com- mittee would call a party primary or! undertake to nominate by itself a can- | didate to fill the five and a half years of Robinson's unexpired term.

She had left Washing- ton eight days ago and did not learn of Senator Robinson's death until a member of her family called to offer condolences. Two hours later she re- ceived a letter written by the Senator Monday in which he told her he was “feeling better” and expected to with- stand the Washington heat satis- factorily. A suggestion Mrs. Robinson might receive an interim appointment to succeed her husband was met with announcement at the State Oapitol that it was unlikely any interim ap- | pointment would be made. The State law requires that a gen- | eral alection to fill the office be called by the Governor in not less than 60 nor more than 120 days from the time the vacancy occurs. Traditionally in Arkansas, nomina- tion by the Democratic party has been tantamount to election. ROBINSON HAD PLANNED TWO-WEEK FISHING TRIP By the Associated Press.

B> the Associatea Press. MOSCOW, July 15.—A Kremlin de- cree granted freedom today to 55,000 convicts who did “shock work” on the | Moscow-Volga canal. ‘The decree requires the Central Oouncil of Trade Unions to ‘“take steps to provide the freed men with employment as soon as posaible.” It also instructs the secret police, which had charge of convict labor on the canal, to provide the released men with railroad tickets and bonuses up to 500 rubles (nominally $100) as a reward for work on the canal, | which brings the Volga headwaters flowing past the Kremlin.

Senator Bridges, Republican, of New Hampshire said in a report to the Senate today the Post Office De- partment had ‘“taken sides” in the recent steel strike because it “refused to deliver” mail to strike-bound plants. He filed with the Senate a minority report on the Post Office Committee's investigation of alleged interferences with the mails and demanded that a complete Senate inquiry be made. ‘The committee held hearings sev- eral weeks ago on & resolution by Bridges calling for investigation of charges that strikers had hindered the mails. At the same time, it consid- ered a resolution by Senator Guffey, Democrat, of Pennsylvania calling for an investigation of the tactics of the steel corporations involved. The majority of the committee, Bridges alone dissenting, reported to the Senste that it found no justifica- tion for a Senate investigation and recommended that charges against the steel companies be referred to the La Follette Civil Liberties Committee. In the minority report Bridges as- serted: “Public respect for the Post Office Department’ has suffered a se- vere blow which can only be remedied by a complete and thorough investi- gation of all interference, all agree- ments and all censorships made by outside persons and all orders amount- ing to legislation and censorship ordered by the Postmaster General.” Joins Rockefeller Foundation. 8T.

B7 the Associated Press. Senator Hattle Caraway of Arkan- sas, through the death of Senator Robinson, is the first woman ever to serve any State as its senior Senator. It was the fifth “first” to her credit. She was the first woman elected to the Benate by popular vote, first to be chairman of a committee, the first to conduct a Senate hearing, and the first to preside over the Senate. When Senator Thaddeus H. Cara- way died, his dark-eyed widow was appointed his temporary successor on November 13, 1931. She subsequently won & full term in the November, 1932, election. It was she who stood yesterday to tell the Senate formally, in a brief, simple announcement, that her col- league was dead. She cried ia few minutes later during the eulogies by other Senators, and had to reach for & handkerchief in her pocketbook. The Senate has had only three women members. First was Mrs. Rebecca L. Felton of Georgia, who served only one day —November 7, 1922. Mrs. Caraway was the second, and Mrs. Rose Long, widow of Senator Huey Long of Lou- isians, was the third. She served from January 31, 1936, until January 3 of this year. —_— ROBINSON DEATH TENTH IN CONGRESS SINCE '36 By the Associated Press.
