ROBINSON WILL
BACK HOOVER
Approves Presidents Ideas
on Tariff Bill.
PN Times Special

Pt ItHeS Special
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-Sena-
tor Robinson of Indiana, in short
speech today, announced to the sem
ate that he will support the flexible
provisions of the pending tariff bill,
supported by President Hoover and
opposed by a coalition of Demo-
Gratis and independent Republicans,
Robinson said that the flexible
clauses have been of great benefit
to agriculture and that their con-
tinuance will aid agriculture more
than any other industry.
Inequities contained in the bill can
be remedied quickly by the Presi-
dent and the tariff commission, he
said.
This is far more practicable for
prompt service than the cumber-
some method of having congress
constantly involved in violent tariff
controversy" Robinson added. Re
ferring to the Simmons amendment
which would have the commission
report back to congress instead OF
to the President.
Robinson said Senator Borah's re-
cent speech opposing the flexible
provisions and demanding that the
President give his views on rates
was an attempt to bait the Presi-
dent" he said, however, that like
Borah he was dissatisfied with many
of the bills rates and reserved the
right to vote independently on all
schedules.

Sought in Ordinance.

Drafting of city ordinance to
prohibit citizens from using short
wave receiving sets to pick up
crime reports" over the police
broadcasting station was begun to-
day by Oren S. Hack, city corpora
ton counsel.
Hack said the penalty probably
will be the maximum possible under

pose of the ordinance is to prevent
criminals from using the radio COM
munication to escape police and
misunderstanding boys" from using
the sets to get police news.
An ordinance accepting the $500
contribution, which was raised by
the citizens radio commission, also
will be presented council Monday

After spending Sunday parading

March, former chief of staff of the
United States army, urged highly
trained army, a navy equal liz
strength to the strongest and a
strong merchant marine.
Admiral Rodman declared the
United States needs, both in peace
and war times, an adequate navy
on parity with that of any other
nation.
"There Is little or no use in hav-
ing an inferior navy" he said. you
might Just as well expect a lame
mule to win the Kentucky derby as
a country with a second best navy
to win a war.
mo doubt the world court, the
League of Nations, treaties and ar
bitrations all are contributory in
preventing wars, but there still are
national jealousies, resentment and
deep human emotion to be con-
trolled, which burst into fame at
some real or fancied injury or ag-
erosion and for the control and
prevention of which there has not
yet been found any universal pan

BIZ United Press

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.-Wil-
liam B. Shearer, big navy propa-
gandist, told the senate committee
investigating naval lobbying here
today that any statement crediting
him with breaking the 1927 Geneva
disarmament conference was "ridic-
ulous."
1T is a most ridiculous statement
when you read Ambassador Gibson's
statement as to why the conference
broke up" Shearer said in answer
to questions of Chairman Short
ridge.
Shearer told a story filled with
dramatic charges against senator's.
ship builders and newspapers, and
admitted before the committee ad-
lourned for lunch he had been ar
rested and forfeited $500 bond in
New Rochelle, N Y. in a liquor case.
Claims Patriotism
He pictured himself as a patriot
at the Geneva disarmament confer
ence and said he represented his
country before he did the American
ship builders, who paid him SOS, 900
TO go there. He insisted he was
innocent of the liquor case, Just as
he was Of a jewel robbery at Ostend
or a theft Of f754 in London. He
said these charges and others had
been brought against him to stop his
patriotic fight in behalf of Ameri-
can defense.
Claiming the committee was hos
tile to him and had sought to con-
vict him before it put him on the
stand, Shearer testified the Sotland
Yard dosSier against him was given
out by Major Bray Of the British
secret service at Geneva.
Shouts at Committee
The witness shouted down mem
bers of the investigating committee
al ICIllIlE I'LL BIlblIEly OlIbIBt1U STORY
of his employment by the shipbuild-
erS than they told. He said he was
not hired to break down the Geneva
conference but to see that America
received parity and adequate ma
tional defense. He claimed to have
put through congress the three
cruiser bill of 1926, and said Charles
M. Schwab of the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation, who denied he knew
Shearer, was the first one to suggest
he go to Geneva.
The name of Senator William H.
King dem, Utah) repeatedly was
brought into the evidence by Shear
err. He said at one time King
warned him to ease his navy fight
or he would be framed" He
claimed, too, that King wanted to
get q naval base at Salt Lake City,
and spoke of having seen Chairman
Shortridge of the committee on one
occasion when they agreed on the
question of white supremacy.

They do not interfere with nature,

Midol will end the most severe

Midol is a marvellous discovery
