Tosonb T. Robinson, Democrat, Ark
Onsos IN his Little Rock home for

veiled struggle for the Democratic

bv his death. Out of respect for their
dead chief, the two main candidates
for his most, Senator Alben Barley,
Domocrat Kentucky and Pat Harrl-
son. Democrat, Mississippi, held them
selves carefully aloof from the con-
test.
Their supporters however, circulated
ouietly from car to car soliciting votes
from the SO senator's who are accom-
panying the body to the State funeral
in the Arkansas capital Sunday.
Their preliminary cahvasses indl-
Gated neither candidate could be con-

Robinsons successor will be chosen in
a secret party caucus at Washington.
Opponents of the Presidents court
bill rallied almost solidly behind Har-
rison. in the belief he would find a
way to bring the bitter fight over the
measure to speedy end. They claim
ed they had about 80 votes already
pledged for him.
A few senator's suggested if the
leadership race proves close and bit

a temporary leader for the rest of this
