ALBANY. May Z. (UP).-New
York state, the laboratory in
which President Roosevelt con-
coted many of his New Deal
theories when governor, was
plunged into a bitter political bat
tie last night over participation IN
his social security program.
The Republican controlled low
er house of the state legislature
rejected for the second time a bill
which would bring state laws IN
conformity with the federal social
security act.
Governor Herbert Ii. Lehman,
a Democrat, and often described
by the president as "that good
right arm of mine" announced ne
would carry the fight to the peo-
pie tonight.
The controversy will delay final
adjournment of the Legislature
fixed for Friday noon and I'M
doubtedly will become a major
issue of the forthcoming presl'
Dental and gubernatorial cam
paigns. o.,
Speaker Irving NJ. Ives, Chen
ango Republican, emphasized the
national implications of the con
troversy when he protested Len
mans tactics. E;
"The governors conduct, II

MONTREAL, MAY 7. (UP).-
Floretta coda, an Egyptian snake
charmer, walked into a room filled
with ~ ravenous, poisonous rep
tiles late yesterday and, one by
one, put them back into their
cages.
Her courage ended a panic that
started when an adder bit Edward
E. Smith, owner of Schriever,
La, snake farm who had been
starving the reptiles to make
fighters out of them.
Smith, his left hand amputated
below the elbow, was blind and
unconscious in hospital today.
He will die unless the adder's We
nom coursing through his veins
dissipates before it reaches the
heart.
Smith had king cobras, rattlers
and adders in his collection. He
had always insisted that he was
immune to snake bite and had
been known to open his arteries
and feed his blood to the snakes.
Tuesday night he was treating an
adder for an ailment when the
snake struck his left forearm. He
rushed to a drug store and from
there was hurried to a hospital
where surgeons quickly ampu-
tated.
Then Smith went into coma
and his eyesight failed. Strange
