SEN. ROBINSON VISITED HERE
Was Guest of Dr. O'Leary Three Year Ago; Party
 Will Miss Him

Senator Joseph T. Robinson, who died suddenly, today, visited Wa terbury on several occasions. His last visit here was three years ago, when he spent several days as the guest of pr. Arthur F. OLeary at his home on Grove street.
 Dr. O'Leary was a close friend of the majority leader of the senate, and was often his guest at Wash- ington. He expressed deep regret today at the senator's passing, and declared that the nation suffered great loss.
 Big Leader, Big Man
 'He was a leader and 6 man," said Dr. O'Leary, 'and the country will miss his services. Personally, he was one of the finest of men, pos- sessed of affability and friendliness that made all who knew him like him." Senator Robinson first came to Waterbury in 1920, addressing Q large crowd at Temple hall at 6 democratic rally. He spoke in the interests of the democratic ticket, headed by James M. Cox for presi- dent and Franklin D. Roosevelt for vice-president.
 Party Loses Asset
 Local party leaders said today that the national party organiza ton and the nation would be the losers by the senator's death. "1t's e great shock to me-" said Town Chairman John H, Crary. Senator Robinson was one of our best democrats and best statesmen. The local and state organizations will most certainly grieve at his death"

EARHART PLANE
 UNDISCOVERED
Sixty Great Birds of Air Were Aloft All Day in
 Vain Hunt

Honolulu, July l4.-(UP)-The great aerial search of the Pacific ocean for Amelia Earhart and Fred J. Noonan. her navigator, will be resumed today if weather conditions permit. The search yesterday by 60 planes from the carrier Lexington was cut short by rain squalls.
 Hope the search would prove fruitful was at the vanishing point but the navy flyers, under orders of Admiral Orin c. Murfln, in charge of the hunt, will scan ap- proximately 3eo,ooo square miles be- fore they give up. Miss Earhart was forced down July 2, on a 2,500 mile flight from Lac, New Guinea, to Rowland Island.
 60 Planes Search
 Sixty of the Lexington's 62 planes joined in the search yesterday fore- noon after poor visibility had held the pilots on deck through the early daylight hours. By noon they had covered 2i,000 square miles without sighting even a sandspit on which the lost flyers could have found refuge. Two planes were held on

discovered pajama-clad and he was pronounced dead at o:ib .. m., F. D. T., by pr. Warren Fletcher. Dr. George W. Calver, congressional physician, said Robinson apparently had risen about midnight, gone iii. to the bath room, and fallen there He said the body was found on the bathroom floor thi5 morning and that the time of about midnight" had been fixed as the time of death
 Doctor Warned Him
 Calver said he had examined Robinson several times this year and had warned him against con- tinued overwork, fearing of just such an attack as occurred. Charles W. Jurney, Senate sergeant ct arms, said tentative plans called for the body to be taken to Little Rock on c train leaving Washington ct ( ?. m. tomorrow.
 Death took Robinson from the senate after 24 years service and on the eve of new honors.
 He was the choice of his colleagues for the supreme court vacancy cree ated by retirement of Justice Wills Van Devanter. It generally was realized in Washington that Mir. Roosevelt intended to reward his old and faithful servant in that way.
 Not In Senate Yesterday
 Robinson was not on the senate floor yesterday. although he ape peared briefly at the Capitol to re- ceive cloak-roon reports of the bat. tie into which he was leading the New Deal forces. Court debate had been underway just seven days when the senator died.
 His death will abruptly, if tenn. porarily, interrupt senate debate of the court proposal. He leaves the senate and his party torn by the bite terest debate since "a little group of willful men" Scuttled Woodrow WI. sons League of Nations.
 Democrats in the senate will face almost immediately Q contest over the leadership, with the outcome likely to indicate the extent to which RobinSon's sudden removal from the

Three Russian Flyers Land H Colv Pasture
Forced Down By Gas Leak Near San Jacinto Cali. fornia-Traveled 6,625 Miles, Since Leav.
 ing Moscow Sunday Afternoon
BY RONALD W. WAGoNER United Press Staff Correspondent )

San Jacinto, Gal, July 14-(UP)- Three Russian flyers made a forced landing in a COW pasture ncar this village today when a leaking ga- soline liiie exhausted the fuel sup- ply of the big red monoplane that had carried them over the North Pole to a new worlds nonstop distance record.
 The three air heroes of the So- viet," Pilot Michael Groniov, Co-Pi- lot Andrei Yumashev and Navigat- or Sergei Danilin, travelGd approx imately 6,625 miles since leaving Moscow at 4:24 p. in. EDT. Sunday. The former nonstop distance rec ord was 6,e57 miles set by the French flyers, Paul Codos and Mau- rice Ros7i, on Q flight from New York to Syria in 1883.
 In Good Condition
 They appeared in good condition when they stepped from the plane after a bumpy landing in the COW pasture three miles west of this vil- lage.
 Among the villagers who flocked to the pasture, astounded by the end of the spectacular flight, was a Russian who attempted to con. verse with the flyers.
 He had difficulty in ypeaking with the airmen but through his halting translation they told of fighting through fogs that ervel- oped Southern California's coastal plains. They were heading over the San Jacinto mountains towards San Diego when they discovered the gasoline leak.
 Rather than risk c crack Up, they looked for landing spot. They were not aware that march field the armys big airport, was less than 20 miles from the COW pasture which they selected for the land- ing.
 Word of the landing was flashed to March field and within few minutes an army plane from that base alighted in the pasture near the big red Russian ship.

After Fast's opening heart bid Mr.
Kaplan naturally passed, hoping the
onponents might get beyond their
depth. Vests one-spade response was
automatic, as was East's rebld TO TWO
olubs. Mr.. Kaplan again passed, and
West rebid his six-card spade suit.
THE bidding again reverted to Mr..
Eaplan, and he now decided his hand
was too good to allow the opponents
10 play a mere two-spade contract
Mr.. Kaplan thought that his partner
probably held fair hand and almost
surely a spade stopper. Hence, ne
made the daring bid of two notrump.
North's raise to three notrump was
more than justified, and East promptly
doubled.
Declarer then had some good luck
West, naturally thinking the spades
were in Mr.. Kaplan's hand, MADE
the conventional opening Of the king.
This unfortunate opening ef1ectually
blocked the suit so that East and
West could take but two spade tricks.
The rest is obvious-the opponents
made their two top clubs and two
spade tricks. Actually, while Mr..
Kaplan's bid appeared foolhardy,
there was shrewd reasoning behind it,
and we must give him credit for his
daring.
