And one of the big shots in
his teams success is Capt. Jack
Robinson, Stand-out center and
athletic sensation in four sports.
This is Jacks last year at
Carrot Park and he's making the
most of it. In 1880 he. expects to
shift to Notre Dame where his
splendid physique and all around
ability should stand him in good
stead.
When Robinson pulls out
of Georgetown Prep this COM
ing June he expects to take
with him eleven athletic let
tiers and the reputation Of
being a four letter man.
Standing six feet and two
inches he weighs in at 100 pounds
All of this weight is muscle-well
developed Drawn calculated to
figure in his athletic future.
Despite his rugged build the
youngSter passed his sixteenth
milestone in April and promises to
improve under college handling.
Much of the success achiev-
ed by Robinson rightly be-
longs to Eddie Brooks, former
Georgetown University ath-
lete and present athletic di-
rector of the school. Brooks
has labOred patiently while
instructing this boy and now
believes him to be a star in
the making.
Robinson has played a promi-
nent part in football during the
past two years. He has also been
a crack guard in basketball where
his ranky build has established
him as a fixture.
Baseball has claimed Jack as
a center fielder and a timely hit

DETROIT, June 13.-Jonah Cox,
the customs border patrolnan who
fatally shot Archibald Eugster, 81,
thought he was shooting in self
defense and will not be prosecuted,
James E. Chenot, Wayne county

were bootleggers and not fishermen.
Cooper said they we're returning
to the scene where they had been
forced few hours before to aban-

Eugster and his companions to stop.
Before dying, Eugster insisted he
was digging for worms along the
river bank when shot as he and
his companions were planning a
fishing trip.

Strikes Debenture Clause
From Bill; Sends Meas
ure to Conference.
FoRESEE QUICK ACTION
Senate Now Expected to
Pass Relief Program
This Week.
BY PAUL r. MALLON,
United Press Staff Corresnondent

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Tn
seven minutes without a. word of
discussion the house today went
through the motions of eliminating
the debenture plan from the ad-
ministrations farm bill and sent the
bill back to conference with the
senate.
The strict rules of the house we're
invoked by Republican leaders to
shut off debate and prevent any ex-
preston of opinion regarding the
debenture feature, so strongly op-
posed by the house leaders and by
the President although twice
adopted by the senate.
The vote on the debenture was 113
for debenture and $50 against.
When the house met at noon,
Chairman G. N. Haugen of the
house agriculture committee moved
that the house take up "house bill
number /" the famous farm bill. His
motion included instructions to the
house conferees to disagree to all
senate amendments, a perfunctory
motion.
Strike Out Debenture Clause
''I don't want to take up any time
with discussion of the debenture
and 1 move the previous question
on my motion" Haugen said.
The Republican majority was out
in full strength and when Speaker
Nicholas LongWorth put Haugen's
motion to a vocal vote, it inlnnedi-
ately was adopted.
Floor Leader John 0. Tilson,
friend of the President, moved that
the house conferees be specifically
instructed to insist on striking out
Section 10 of the bill, the so-calIed
debenture plan
Il think this will conclude the
controversy said Tilson. "It is
the quickest and perhaps the only
way to ge the bill passed. 1 move
the previous question on my mo-
ton"
LOngworth put TilSon'5 motion
through with slap of his gavel and
the house effectively was gagged
against any further discussion.
Roll Call Is Demanded
The Democratic floor leader,
John Garner of Texas. Immediately
demanded roll call to put all the
members of the house on record as
to how they stand on the debenture,
no previous roll call having been
taken on the issue.
There were shouts of mo, no"
from the Republican side, but when
all the Democrats arose, the Re
publicans knew it would be useless
to protest and at the wave of Til
sons hand they arose in a body
and agreed to take the record vote.
Never did the famous big steam
roller Of the house work more effec-
lively.
Republican floor leaders acted on
Instructions of President Herbert
Hoover to give the senate what it
has been demanding, a record vote
from the house on the debenture.
The bill will be sent to conference
later in the day and the debenture
plan will be speedily eliminated, be-
cause senate leaders already have
promised they will not fight further
if the house voted on it.

motorists hesitate to use their cars
at night in certain areas Of the

Unless federal authorities take
prompt and effective measures to
safeguard the lives of motorists from
such a hazard, the association said
congress should act.
