Robinson Speaks

Washington, Sept 27 P-Sena- tor Robinson. of Arkansas, demo- cratic leader, said in the senate to- day that those urging retention Of the flexible provisions in the pend ing tariff bill as q 'prompt remedy for correcting mistakes in rates be- tween sessions of congress were speaking without foundation in either fact or consistency for sup porting their concluion."
 Robinson opened the fourth day of debate on the clause which au- thorizcs the president 10 change duties m or down within range of 50 per cent after Investigation by the tariff commission.
 Although President Hoover has thrown his influence behind reten- ton of the provision, a vote on the question is expected to be close. Republican leaders look for this vote early next week.
 Takes Issue With Reed
 Robinson took issue with the po- sition Of Senator Reed, republican, Pennsylvania, that the real question was whether the flexible principle should be continued.
 The flexible provision, Robinson cOntcnded, never had proved a quick method of giving emergency tariff relief and never could as long as the cost Of production formula was used. In most cases. he said it took the commission two years t0 report on applications for duty changes. After consuming all that time the president often refuses to act on tn" reports, he added,
 If was mere prctenSc and subtc,- f1go" he arPucd, 10 contend that tho clause worked 10 speed up individ, nal tariff changes between congress sional sessions.
 Chairman Smoot, Of the hnanc, committee, placed in the record { letter from the American Farm Bu. rcau federation favCring the flexible principle but urging liberalization 10 permit the president 10 take ar. Uclcs from and place them on the free Ist.
 Robinson asked Shoot if he fav. cred such change, and Smoot re plled he approved the amendmen h" has pending 10 make the scctior virtually the same as existing law

 Party Lines Breaking
 Washington, Sept. 27 tP}-An- other day of vehement debate over continuance of the flexible tariff confronted the senate today with it's party lines already so tangled that leaders were conspicuously cautious about predicting the outcome.
 The republican regulars, defend ing the policy with the backing of President Hoover, were faced with the powerful opposition Of most of the democrats in combination with many if not all of the farm state republican independents.
 The latter group. on the other hand, was confronted with the knowledge that at least one demo- crat Fletcher of Florida, would support the presidents position that the flexible principle should be re- taincd in the tariff revision bill and not repealed, as the majority of his party colleagues hope.
 The strength Of the republican in dependent support which will go to democratic proposal for repeal was emphasized shortly before Fletcher made his announcement by the lengthy attack on the flexible prin- ciple by Senator Borah of Idaho, one of President Hoovers leading campaigners last year.
 Fletcher Behind Hoover
 The Floridian said 1t disgusted him not 10 be able to ''go along with the very large majority of my democratic colleagues" on the issue, but he found the presidents state mcnt on the flexible principle con vincinG" and he favored the pro posal Of the republican members of in effect substantially as it is under the Fordncy- McCumbcr law.
 After all these months of study and labor" he observed, you now have before you q bill which i' seriously denounced as an iniQuitous bin,' q 'monstrosity,' an ''abOmina- tion.'
 "'This is the work Of congress Could the president do worse if h' tried?
 Reed Answers Borah
 Senator Reed, republican. Penn. sylvania, cntctrod the debate t' i combat the contention that the ] flexible provision is open to question ! on grounds of constitutionality. Re plying 10 Borah, who voted agains ! it when it was written into th' ! Fordney- -McCumber act, he als' i argued there was no question as t l the wisdom of the policy it estab | lished.
 Holding that Borah was wroni i in the view that the issue lay be | tween agriculture and industry tn i pcnnsylyanian said:
 The trouble with the attacks ol 1 the flexible provisions and the whol , bill is that these gentlemen wh i have appointed themselves spokcs men for agriculturc-and l den their right 10 do it-are trying drag down the rest cf the countr to the level of agriculture while " are trying to bring agriculture up { the level Of the rest Of the country.

Florida RciaNcS

Miami. Fla, Sept. 27,-IP)-While southeastern Florida today relaxed to some extent from the vigil it has kept the last two days for West Indian hurricane, residents of this section saw in continued lack Of communication from Nassau the possibility that the capital Of the lIa- hamas had suffered damage from the roaring wind as it swept in from tho sea.
 Florida's fear that the hurricane might strike the state in the same general position that was afflicted by the storms of 1926 and 1928 was lessened last night when hurricane warnings, hoistcd along an So mile stretch from Miami 10 Jupiter were lowered and replaced by storm warnings.
 Weather conditions along the low CT east coast early today were re- ported nearly normal with baro- metric pressure either steady and Tn the neighborhood of it's customary stage, or fluctuating,
 Some Fear Remains
 While the Miami Jupiter section believed It had escaped the flashing of the storm. there remained the fear that the hurricane estimated by the Washington weather bureau to be near Andros Island. Bahamas, might whip southward today toward Cuba. with a possible attack on th" Florida coast south of here. This fear was lcSscned to some extent by fair weather and a fluctuating baro- metric pressure reported by Key West naval station.
 Efforts Of the tropical radio here 10 communicate with Nassau have been unavailing since Wednesday noon, giving rise to the belief that that city had suffered storm damage.
 The populace of this section still was puzzled as 10 the action and progress of the storm, which seemed to sWerve yesterday in it's course to assume progress toward the south after an apparent halt for some time.
 Advices from official weather Ob- servers had warned Miami and the surrounding territory that winds of | gale force probably would be felt i along the extreme lower east coast today.
 Steamer LaCOnia safe Messag ges from the Italian freight l CT laConia, received last night by ! the tropical radio station, helped to ] allay local fears. The vessel reported 1 it had not foundered west of the | Bahamas, as had been reported, and | that the sky was cloudy, with a ris- l ing barometer.
 This report was taken 10 indicate ! that while the storm probably was ! from GO to 100 miles from Miami 1 it likely would miss this city. The 1 radio officials also said the LacOnia's report indicated the storm was ot small diameter moving southeast.
