SEN. ROBINSON DISPLAYS HIS
 FIERY TEMPER
Not So Comfortable on Job of Putin g Across
 Court Reform
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, March 22-The terrific pressure on Joe Robinson of Arkansas, majority leader, over the court issue has precipitated out breaks of his fiery temper that dis close he is not altogether comfort able in his job of putting across the Roosevelt plan.
 Congress is composed predomin> antly of lawyers and to many of them the proposal to expand the court is as sacrilegous as pasting whisky advertisements on a pulpit. As majority leader. Robinson has little choice to support the Presi- dent, although in all fairness it must be said that he evidently looks upon the Presidents proposal as the least upsetting of any of the plans for ending the present im- passe.
 But added to any scruples he may be forced to hide is the endless tantalizing he must endure. His colleagues look upon him as a pos sible court appointee. He knows they do and for that reason suf- fers from mischievous or teasing re- marks that under other circum- stances he would spool and ignore. Three times in 10 days he had tempestuous scenes with reporters. Even his tempers act as guideposts to news hunters. however. and of- ten as not are followed by periods of golden good humor.

 GENERAL STRIKE
Authorities Continue to Evict Sitdowners from
 Small Plants

DETROIT, Mich, Mar. 22.-Con- tinuing to disregard the United Au- to Workers threat of city-wide automotive strike, to be called m retaliation unless the raids stop, pc lice have followed up the evictions of sitdown strikers from the New ton Packing Company plant and the Bernard Schwartz Cigar Company factory by driving strikers from other small captive plants.
 Homer Martin, JAVA head, who had announced the general strike threat withheld comment following the buster of twenty-five strikers, seeking recognition of the Inter national Type Union, from the Thomas Henry Printing plant.
 The City Council has refused to permit the huge demonstration called by the Automotive Union for 5 o'clock Tuesday evening in Cad- lilac Square, but union men declare the demonstration will be held any, way.
 President Martin is participating in the Unions conference with of- ficials of the Chrysler Corporation, eight plants of which have been closed by the strike.

Wants Secrecy Relatiue to
 Location of NelU Air Bases

WASHINGTON, March 22-Rep- resentative J. Mark Wilcox, Dem ocrat of Florida, Congressional or iginator of the plan to establish a system of Army Air Corps bases, said secrecy should shroud their location of some time to come.
 Congressman Wilcox disclosed that secrecy is due to the desire to forestall pressure from local civic groups rather than guard military secrets.
 A base somewhere" in Alaska is included in the plans for six bases. The report concerning the bases has been in the hands of the Secre- tary of War for more than a year.
 Following the announcement of a proposed base near Tacoma, Will cox said, the Chambers of Com merce of Pocatello, Idaho, Seattle and other cities descended on Wash ington by air in an effort to have the plans changed If the pro- posed locations of all bases are made public we will be subjected to terrific pressure from all parts of the country for changes"
 Congressman Wilcox said the Army has requested $675O00 to start work on the Tacoma base next year. Approximately three addi- tionaI bases will also be started and the others in 1889.

 Senator Wheeler, opening the tes- timony in opposition to the court bill, began by reading Chief Jus ! tice Hughes letter. which the Chief said, was approved by Justices van- ldevanter and Brandeis.
 Creates Stir The letter created stir among the big crowd assembled in the cau- GUS room, where the committee is meeting, long before the hearing began.
 In his letter the Chief Justice lsaid:
 T believe that an increase in the number of Supreme Court Justices would impair the efficiency of the Court. So long as the Court acts as a unit. there would be more Judges to hear more Judges to con- fer, more Judges to discuss and more Judges to be convinced and to decide.
 "The present number of Justices is thought to be large enough, so far as prompt, adequate and effic- ient conduct of the work of the Court is concerned.

SCHOOL HEAD BREAKS DOWN
 BEFORE COURT
Explosion in Texas Before Military Court-Super-
 intendent P Prostrated

NEW LONDON, Texas, March g Superintendent w. c. Shaw brok- enly told the story of New London's school explosion before the Military Court of Inquiry today, defending the rural school system.
 Hints of negligence in his testi- mony were abruptly ended by Shaw's breakdown.
 Capt. c m b e S, Judge Advocate said that Shaw would not be re- called.
 We already have obtained virtu- ally the information desired,' he said
 Overcame With Grief
 At the height of his testimony Shaw broke down almost prostrated with grief over the death of 455 children and teachers in the gas ex- plosion that wrecked the school
 
 Photographers snapped picture as he was removed to cot in a nearby ante room.
 New Evidence
 John Dial, 15-year-old student said that the explosion occurred, il seemed to him, as teacher, T. R Butler, threw a switch in the man. ual training room.
 State Senator Joe Hill said that may be the answer to the "puzzline question of the origin of the spark that touched off the gas"
 Tapped Gas Line
 Superintendent Shaw defended the schools action in tapping tht gas pipe line to run in the vicinity by the Parade Gasoline Company.
 Denying the testimony given by Foreman D. L. Clark that the con nection was made without know ledge or consent of the company Superintendent Shaw said that Ear Clover, Parade superintendent, did mt give specific permission and warned that we were liable to be cut loose any time, but I concluded that he didn't particularly object"
 Shaw said that he was partly re- sponsible for giving the order to run the pipe. He said that he had di- rected the school janitors to make the connection.
 Last Saturday afternoon, the Military Court of Inquiry heard A. J. Belew testify he had warned the school officials it was danger ous" not to install new gas regu- lator leading into the main build- ing of the school.
 Dr. E. P. Schoch, explosions ex- pert of the University of Texas, questioned Belew and the latter said he gave warning that the pres sure on the gas steam heating sys- tenn should be reduced.
 Capt. Cazharin Combes, of the Texas National Guard, who is sit- ting as Judge Advocate closely ques- toned witnesses who told of the construction of the building and heating system.
 District Attorney Stone Wells, of Rusk County, sat deeply interested in the testimony and at the end of the hearing Saturday said he "did not think there was a possibility of criminal law violations"

HUGE GAS TANK
BLAST PER|LS 2

HYATTSVILLE, Md, Nov. 20,
Two men escaped serious injury
when a gas station storage tank
exploded here today.
The 5000 gallon tank was being
filled when the blast occurred.
Edward Stewart, operator of the
filling station, said sheet of
flame enveloped him, but he was
unharmed.
The operator of the truck dis.
charging gasoline into the stor'
age tank, quickly shut off the
flow to prevent fire. Although he
was but a few feet away, he also
was unscathed.
Nearly all the windows in the
gas station were shattered, and a
newly built concrete addition was
practically destroyed, said Stew
art. He assigned cause of the ex,
plosion as static spark" Dam
age was fixed at $500.
