OUTBREAKS OF
GREAT TEMPER
in COURT ISSUE
PRESSURE ON JOE ROBINSON.
MAJORITY LEADER. PREcIP-
ITATEs UNUSUAL DISCUS
SION
By PRESTON GROVER
ny Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The
terrific pressure on Joe Robinson
of Arkansas, majority leader, over
the court issue has precipitated
outbreaks of his fiery temper
that disclose he is not altogether
comfortable in his job of putting
across the Roosevelt plan.
Congress is composed predom-
inantly 81 lawyers and to many
of them. the proposal to expand
the court is as sacEilegous as past
ing WHISKY advertisements on a
pulpit. As majority leader, Robin
son, has little choice but to SUPP
port the President. although in all
fairness it must be said that he
evidently looks upon the Presir
dents proposal as the least upset
ting of any of the plans for end
ing the present impasse.
But added to any scruples he
may be forced to hide is the end
less tantal;zing he must endure.
His colleagues look upon him as
possible court appointee. He
knows they do and for that rear
son suffers from mischievous or
teasing remarks that under other
circumstances he would spool or
ignore.
Three times in 10 days he had
tempestuous scenes with report
ers. Even his tempers act as guide
posts to news hunters, however,
and often as not are followed by
periods Of golden good humor.
Ashurst Laughs
In sharp contrast is the jesting
by Senator Ashurst of Arizona,
chairman OF the rules committee
considering the 'couft.revision pres
gram. Early in the session As
hurst had introduced a proposal
for a constitutional amendment.
When he sharply reversed himself
and Endorsed the subsequent pro-
posaI OF the President the ques-
TONERS were upon him.
Consistency" he told his col
leagues, sis vice of little minds.
Consistency may be jewel but
too much jewelry is vulgar"
Talked Too Much
To news men Ashurst told a
story:
"There once was a country boy
in Arizona who took a beautiful
city girl rowing on a lake." he
related. $50 gorgeous were her
curls, tinted lashes and rouged
cheeks that he soon made pas
sionate address to her, and soon
asked her to marry him. Then up
came the storm, washed out her
curls and smeared the colors on
his face. The boy, busy at the
oars, BECAME gold ana aistant.
- 'Darlh9 saia ths lady, why
are you 50 aToof. Half an hour
ago you asked me to marry you,
>. .iBut the boy replied:
+ tffI've talked too much al.
ready . b@1f'a<' '3'i
And with that, Rshurst skipped
into his office.

TODAY'S TAxOGRAM

When you powder the baby
you pay a tax to Uncle Sam.
Special excise taxes are also
levied on your tooth paste,
toilet soap, shaving cream and
other toilet preparations. The
government apparently is not
intellectually in favor of aids
to beauty. 1t collects a tax on
face powder, rouge, nail polish,
hair wave and perfumes. In
fact, it will cost the American
public about IL million dollars
in Federal taxes to clean and
beautify itself in 1887.

QUEz0N URGES
FREEDOM RULE
Would Like as Little U. S.
Influence as Possible in
Philippines.

The Philippine Islands would like
the United States influence to be
exerted as little as possible, President
Manuel Quezon had let the world
j know yesterday, even though inde-
pendence may be nine years of.
r 1.-The situation created under the
Philippine independence act Is an abb
surdity, and it cannot continue" the
Chief Executive of the Philippine
Commonwealth told newspaper men
at Press Club luncheon.
Quezon protested that the United
States is injuring the economy of the
Philippines by enacting legislation
affecting the islands without asking
the islands their opinion.
Criticizing the situation which per-
mits a divided authority between
Manila and Washington, Quezon said:
Either we are to assume the re-
sponsibility or We are not. If we are,
We must be let alone without inter-
ference from the high commissioner,
the Secretary of War, the Secretary
of State or even the President of the
United States"
Quezon pointed to the coconut oil
tax, which levieS duty on the islands
chief products; the dollar devaluation,
which caused the Philippine govern
ment a currency loss of between $780,
100000 and s5O,OOO,OOO, and a pending
bill to tax Philippine sugar as United
States acts inimical to Philippine
economy.

WOULD ABOLISH
TRAFFIC BUREAU
Head of Northeast Citizens Asso-
Citations Asks Police Depart
ment Jurisdiction.

A plan, proposed to solve the District
traffic problem. was presented to the
Northeast Conference of Citizens As
sociations last night by A. F. E. Scheer,
president of the organization.
He proposed abolishing the Traffic
Bureau under Director Van Duzer
and putting the bureau back under
the direct jurisdiction of the Police
Department. He also suggested the
department obtain. if possible, the
services of Lieut.. Franklin l.. Kreml
of the Evanston, Ill, police force,
recent winner of the $4,000 c. L. T.
traffic safety award. Lieut.. Kreml is
also director of the Northwestern Uni
versity Traffic Safety Institute.
Scheer further stated that in his
opinion one of the solutions of the
problem was alienation OF the too
strict parking regulations. He said
parked cars rarely figured in fatalities.
The death toll has increased with the
Tightening of parking regulations
which may or may not be coince-
dence he continued.
Inc UleIIiUtlS VI IAic StANS
agreed to continue work in their re-
spective associations to obtain the pro-
posed stadium and armory at the foot
of East Capitol street and to also con-
tinue action for the Jefferson Memorial
In the northeast section.
Due to q recent accident in which
two people were killed at the Balti-
more and Ohio grade crossing on
Bates road northeast the council voted
that authorities be sent a demand for
a watchman to be put there and cross
ing gates be installed as temporary
measure until an underpass can be
constructed.

WARM SPRINGS, Ga, March
10 UNS0.-The appalling school
disaster at New London, Texas,
occupied President Roosevelt's at
tention here today as he kept
wires open to Washington and
the seat of the tragedy ascertain
ing the horrifying extent Of its
death toll.
The Red Cross and all Govern
ment agencies were under orders
from Warm Springs to do every
thing possible to aid the Texas
community.
Bulletins Rushed
Bulletins were relayed to the
President at the little White House
on Pine Mountain as fast as they
came in by telephone and tele-
graph to the temporary, legiS-
lative offices.
When word of the explosion and
its shocking death toll first
reached Warm Springs last even
ing, the staff that accompanied
Mr.. Roosevelt here galvanized into
action. Mr.. Roosevelt summoned
Henry Kannee, assistant to Secre-
tary Marvin H. Mcintyre, to his
cottage and dictated messages to
Admiral Cary T. Grayson, head of
the Red Cross, and the chiefs Of
various federal agencies.
He told neWSmen:
81 am shocked and can only
hope that further information
will lessen the scope of this
tragedy"
The President planned to motor
40 miles to Lagrange, Ga, this
afternoon to dine with Cason Cal
loway, biggest cotton spinner of
the South.
FavOrS Higher Wages
This call was following close
on a reaffirmation by the Presi-
dent Of his belief that both cot
ton prices and wages must go
up and stay up if Dixie is to ''be
more nearly on the level of other
parts of the country"
Mr.. Roosevelt expounded his
economic philosophy at the dedi-
cation of Warm Springs village
Negro school house, named in
honor of his better half" as he
expressed it. After hearing a
state official call attention to the
fact that only SO years ago the
Georgia legislature had passed a
law making it crime to teach a
Negro to read and write, the
President disclosed his own line
