SENATE C. O. VOTES TO REJECT
ALL GERRYMANDER MEASURES

caucus, however, declared that the
Democrats under this plan are
given certain majorities In six dis
tricts, two are doubtful and four
are Republican.
Bush indicated that taxation and
not reapportionment was his only
worry.
Republicans, 1t is believed, want
no reapportionment until they con-
troll both houses Of the legislature.
If, In 1882, the state goes Democratic
and all the congressional represent
atiyes under the "at large" plan
are Of that party, the G. o. P. lead
ers are content to take the defeat
with the hope Of cutting the cake
more satisfactorily in the next gen.
eral assembly.

NOTHING TO DISCUSS, SO
SENATE DISCUSSES 1T
G. 0. p. Leader Wakes
Eloquent About Deeds,
Then Can't Find EN-.

Resolving into a committee Of the
whole, the Indiana senate today, be-
fore crowded galleries, proceeded to
display what one senator termed
"its complete incompetence and lack
Of leadership"
Announced purpose Of the COM
mite Of the whole meeting was to
discuss taxation measures.
But Immediately upon converting,
Senator Harry K. Cuthbertson (Dem.,
Howard and MianiD moved to dis
solve and reconvene as senate
since all revenue measures were still
in the house, and there was moth
ing for the committee to discuss.
The motion proved somewhat Of a
wet blanket to Senator Lee j.
Hartzell (Rep., Allen and. Noble),
Republican floor leader, who was
presiding as committee chairman.
Nothing to Discuss
He just had delivered a speech to
the senate and the gallery declaiH
ing the big things that were to cone
out Of this committee the whole
meeting in the way Of solving taxa
ton problems for the people back
home"
Confronted with the Cuthbertson
motion he had to admit that so far
as he knew there was nothing to
discuss.
All revenue raising measures must
originate in the house.
AT last Senator Earl Rowley (Rep.,
lie Porte and Starke) came to the
chairman's rescue by delivering q
speech in favor of his property tax
limitation bill, which would pre-
vent more than a $1.75 levy from
real property on each 800 Of tax
ableS.
He made the same speech in its
favor before the senate last week.
Meeting Called Farce
Senator J. Francis Lochard (Dem.,
Dearborn, Jennings and Ripley
pointed out that similar legislation
had proved q failure in Ohio.
The veteran Lake county Repub-
lican senator, James j. Nejdl, arose.
II enjoyed the discourse of my
colleague from the 'deestrict of Lake
Michigan" he said, referring to
Rowley'S talk. But how far have
we got? In any committee meeting
we must refer something substan-
tial to the committee before any
action can be taken.
This committee Of the whole
meeting Is a farce. There Is moth
ing here before us and 1t Is just
case Of old women talking things
over. It's not parliamentary and we
will not get anywhere until the
revenue raising measures come be-
fore us. Let's not waste any more
time making a joke out Of this SEN
ate"
A Motion Is Approved
Senator Joe Rand Beckett (Rep.,
Marion) tried and failed to get con-
sideration for his budget reduction
bill. A motion was passed to recon-
mend the senate get Rowley's meas
ure returned from the special tax to
the finance committee and that this
committee recommend 1t to the SEN
ate for passage or poStponement
within the next twenty-four hours.
Thereupon the Cuthbertson mo-
ton was approved and the senate
went back to work.
Other special business Of the
senate today Is the old age pension
bill UP for passage at D. m.

ABOUT FACE ON ISSUE
BY RAY TUCKER
Times etaR Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The
senate today presents the strange
spectacle OF a Democratic leader
defending Republican admins
tration's drought relief program
against attacks by his own COL
leagues and numerous members of
Che Presidents own party.
- While regular Republicans are
Atting silent, Senator Robinson
Dem, Ark0, who only a few days
ago was assailing Hoover, Secretary
Hyde and the Red Cross, now is
asking his associates to accept the
$40, 000, 900 drought relief compro-
mise which he has negotiated with
Republican spokesman for Hoover.
Defense Hurts Measure
In defending the terms Of the
compromise, Robinson has hurt 1t
by admitting that only farmers who
can produce security will get aid.
His critics have seized on his
admission that small homesteaders,
who raise crops for personal con-
sumption rather than sale, must
look to charity or the Red Cross.
He has not convinced his own col
leagues that either the present pro-
fposal or the earlier $4,000, 900 ap-
preparation meets the situation in
the drought area. He has not pla-
Gated the group that wants a show
down on the question Of whether
the government will look after the
needy in an emergency like the
present.
Democrats Are Dissatisfied
His only assurance is that given
him by Hoover, in which the latter
declared Secretary Hyde had said
the new fund would be administered
Fairly and sympathetically."
The new bill now before the SEN
ate contains loan provisions for
purposes Of crop rehabilitation,
and while Robinson insists this
means food, his colleagues want the
agreement nailed down.
Even more important, they ask
what is to become of the farmers
in the backlandS who can't satisfy
government safeguards for security.
To these questions Robinson an
gwers that they must become
charitable or Red Cross wards.
La Toilette Leads Fight
But though he attacked the Red
Cross as playing politics only ten
days ago, he now contends that the
Red Cross is handling the situation
adequately.
Organized assault on the relief
compromise was started In the SEN
ate today by insurgent Republicans
led by Senator La Toilette (Rep.,
Wis.,
Charging that the agreement be-
tween President Hoover and con-
gresSional leaders was mot a COM
promise but an unconditional sur
render" La Toilette attacked the
amendment to the interior depart
rnent appropriation bill on the
ground that 1t would not provide
adequate relief in farm areas, and
that no provision whatever was
made for sufferers in cities.

Floyd:S Buddy
Shortridge Boy Has 1t All
Over Every Other Kid
in This City.
BY SHELDON KEY

TITO most of indianapolis Mon
l. day night, Floyd Gibbons,
famed radio artist and war cor
respondent, was the headline
hunter" romantic talker and a
good fellow, but to 14-year-old
Bobby Quinn, 4106 Byram avenue,
he was just plain friend.
Both know what 1t Is to see the
world with only one eye.
They found it out when Bobby
crowded his way forward to the
platform in Cadle tabernacle fol-
lowing Gibbons address Monday
night.
They started to shake hands.
Then Gibbons noticed that Bobby,
too, wore a bandage over one eye.
TTBBONS reached to his inside
" coat pocket and drew forth
a white bandage, similar to the
one he wore, and handed it to
Bobby with these words:
Take this, sonny, and wear 1t.
Exchange It for the black one
you are wearing. You see, it's
knit and a better one.
"An old lady up in Maine
makes these especially for me. I
carry extras, for I sometimes use
three or four a day." he explained
quickly.
Gibbons has worn his bandage
since the World war. It is the
token Of an adventure near Bel
leau Wood in France, where he
was the victim Of a machine gun
bullet.
Bobby has worn his black
badge for but six weeks. An air
rife In the hands Of a playmate
is to blame.
Bobby is a Shortridge high
school pupil.
