NOT DROPPED
But Robinson IntimateS
Compromise Act Would
Be Acceptable

WASHINGTON. June 1. (UP)
President Roosevelt today dcclar-
ed flatly he believes his court

drop it's fight for reorganization
of the supreme coUrc. Senate Ma
jority Leader Joe T. Robinson
had said last night after a two
hour conference with President
Roosevelt but ut the same time
he strongly minated chat pas
sage of a compromise bill would
be acceptable.
"Therc is no foundation for Il
story published in a Washington
paper this afternoon that the
court reform bill has been aban-
doucd." Robinson said. The mca-
sure will be proceeded with and
it is expected that action will be
taken on it during the present
session"
The majority leader said he and
Mr.. Roosevelt hoped that action
would be taken this session on
other important legislation, IN
Guiding:
|. Farm tenancy.
,. Stun clearance.
3. Nuisance tax extension and
provisions 10 close loop holes in
the revenue laws pointed out by
the president in his recent mes
sage on tax evasion.
4. Reorganization of the cX-
ecutivc departments of the gov
eminent.
These. together with a national
planning bill sent to congress to-
day by the president, are the key
stones of Mr.. RooSevelr'S second
new deal"
at is not suggested" Robinson
added, that passage of any of
these matters ut this session is
imperative but it is felt that fl
nal disposition is desirable and
would be advantageous.

piled.
''No more questions?" Burke in
quired.

antly. "The senator may reserve
them until next week.

State Will Analyze
Fertilizer Free of
Charge for Citizens

RALEIGH, July 19.-More than
$500 samples of fertilizer, 48 per
cent more samples than were col
lected last year, will be analysed by
the North Carolina Department of
Agriculture this year in the interest
of protecting the farmer.
Department inspectors gave indi-
vidual service to farmers this year,
collecting over $50 fertilizer sam
pies from individual farmers and
with the exception of 10, all the in
dividual samples have been report
ed. Of the $500 samples, 1886 have
been tested and the results are
scheduled to be announced in spe-
cial bulletin this month.
''The inspection and control OF
fertilizer is one of the most valuable
of all services rendered the farmers
of the state" D. S. Coltrane, chief
fertilizer inspector and assistant to
Commissioner w. Kerr Scott, said
pointing out that North Carolina
farmers purchase more fertilizer
than farmers of any other state.
Considering that the state used
more than one million tons of fer
tilizer for which they pay approx
mately Is million dollars each year
the Department of Agriculture
doubled its efforts this year to Sc
cure samples of fertilizer and when
the samples are analysed farmers
will be givenv 48 per cent more in
formation than they received last
year.
Fertilizers, by law, are required to
meet certain specifications or re-
quirements and the purpose of the
fertilizer inspectors is to assure
compliance with the laws designed
to protect the farmer.

In its report to President Roose-
welt on the influence of new inven-
lions upon national policy, the COM
mlttee urged increased efficient
effort" in electrical research.
Andrew w. Cruise, assistant chief
engineer of the federal communica-
cations commission, writing the
committees report on chronological
advances in the electrical goods in
dustries, said such research and ma
tional planning would inevitably
make for more abundant life"
1T is because this industry has al
command a servant far more accom-
plished than Aladdin's genii, but
equally mysterious" he said. while
many of the accomplishments Of
electricity appear miraculous, it is
because of our own human limita-
tons that it's work has not been uti-
lized to an even greater extent. We
do not know what to ask that cleo
tricity do next"
Cruise pointed to research accom-
plishments in the following fields:
Air conditioning, refrigeration
ultraviolet and infra-red rays, light
ing, highway illumination, rura
identification, public address sys'
TENS, electric organs, motors, indus
trial X-ray, geo-physical apparatus
insect killers, industrial lighting

writer Jumps z,UUU Feet From
Airplane in Order to Write
His Experience

Seeking realism for a story on
parachute-jumping Leslie F'ulenwid-
er, 39-year-old writer, dived 1000
feet from the wing of an airplane in
West bury, N. Y, Sunday; but his
impressions of the leap will never
be written.
eff I'm going to write realistically
about parachute-jumping," he had
said, 'the thing to do is make a
jump myself"
A short time later, his crumpled
body, draped in the shrouds of an
emergency Chute that never opened
fully, was lying in a vacant lot here.
After receiving explicit instruc-
tons from Joseph Crane, who is
billed at air shows as the world
champion jumper, Fulenwider went
aloft at Roosevelt field in a charter
ed plane piloted by Russell w. Thaw,
son of Harry K. Thaw and Evelyn
Nesbit ThaY>
Over a golf course, he inched out
on the planes wing, dived down
ward, and yanked the 'chute's rip
cord ring.
Il saw him pull it," said Crane,
relating that he and Thaw screamed
against the rush and roar of the
plane futilely trying to tell Fulen-
wider to open his emergency para
chute after the first one failed.

Carolina Swelters

North Carolina sweltered under
the hottest temperatures of the sum-
mer last week as the nine-day heat
wave continued with no prospect of
immediate relief. Friday was record
ed as the hottest day in Ashe county.
The mercury hit SO at Charlotte,
100 at Raleigh, SO at Durham, and
98.5 at Winston-Salem, Wilmington,
on the coast, reported maximum

tains, go.
An unofficial temperature of 103
degrees was registered at Greenville,
the highest mark in several years.
Highway officials reported the in
tense heat had caused many high

, ton. The highway directly in front
of Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Graybeal's
home buckled up last week.

FARMER BOB AT FUNERAL

In hushed silence, Arkansas gave
Joseph Taylor Robinson his last and
most impressive homecoming Sun
day.
Still shocked by the passing of the
states most distinguished son, thou
sands of constituents massed in the
capitol for his funeral services Sun
day afternoon.
With Vice-President John Nance
Garner and more than a score of
Robinson's colleagues in the United
States senate, they paid their final
tributes at Union sation when a
special train brought the body from
Washington early Sunday morning.
Congressman r. L. Doughton, OF
this district, was included in a speci-
al committee appointed by the Pres
ident to represent the House at the
funeral services.
All walks of life were represented
in the outpouring of citizens to
whom Senator Robinson had become
in more than 40 years of distinguish
ed public life sort of Arkansas
tradition. 1t was an orderly crowd,
hushed, grave-faced and respectful.
Guided by a score of hands. the
silvery casket, bearing the simple
inscription Joseph T. Robinson
1872-1937," passed swiftly through
the long lanes of bare-headed spec
tators carrying the senator to his
home for the last time.
A midsummer sun blazed outside
the fashionable Little Rock Metho-
dist Church which was crowded to
its capacity. Through a high-arched
glass a shaft of light fell full upon
the flag-draped casket, before which
the heavily yelled widow and
score of relatives bowed their heads
in grief.
II am the resurrection and the
life =" intoned Rev. H. Bascom
Watts, pastor. y The Lord gave
the Lord has taken away.
Blessed be the name of the Lord"
The familiar cadences of the
hymn, Lead Kindly Light" rose
from a mixed quartet, accompanied
by soft organ tones.
A brief prayer by the pastor was
followed with the reading of the
scripture 18th chapter of Pauls
first letter to the Corinthians, in
which is written:
ooh, death, where is thy sting?
Oh, grave, where is thy victory" A
quartet sang "It Is Well With My
Soul"
What word of eulogy could 1
speak that would be sufficient, the
pastor asked, beginning brief trib-
ute to the late senator. Few others
in the history of our nations life
have lived so tremendously . J"
"But when a history of the Con-
gress, and the crucial issues before
it, in the last three decades is scien-
tifically presented by careful stu
dents of the period it cannot omit
him from rank with the foremost"
he added.
Lover of Country.
The pastor characterized Robin
son as a lover of country, national
idol and "true Democrat in the great
republic" Democrat in the great
a man of great force whose greatest
attributes were militancy and sim
cerity.
"He was a fighter" the pastor
said, "but no one ever denied his
courage or questioned the undoubt-
ed sincerity of conviction with which
he entered the fight. He denounced
wrong and injustice to its face I"
Perhaps no man in our generation
has been more nearly representa-
tive American"
