alter senate leaders had talked with
the senator's widow at Little Rock
by telephone.
I)ea th Announced
The saddened senate heard Robin
son's fellow Arkansan, Senator Hat
tie W. Caraway, announce the lead
er's death.
"It is with deep grief." she said
to her hushed audience, "that I rise
to announce the death of my col
league, the leader of this body, the
late senator from Arkansas, Mr.
Robinson.
"It Is not my purpose at this
time to try to enumerate the good
qualities or to call attention to the
statesmanship of the man whom the
smate, the nation and the state will
so greatly miss and whose death all
so deeply deplore."
At the end of her brief speech,
delivered In trembling voice, Mrs.
Caraway offered the usual resolution
of adjournment out of respect for
the deceased senator.
Before It was voted. Senator
Barkley (D.. Ky.), acting majority
leader, offered a eulogy. As he talk
ed, many senators sat with bowed
heads and closed eyes. Mrs. Cara
way held her hand over her eyes.
"No abler, truer, finer, more loyal
or devoted man ever served in this
chamber from any state," Barkley
said in grave tones.
"No man ever bore his responsibil
ity with greater courage, patience,
foresight and wisdom than Senator
Robinson.
"His death constitutes at this par
tlcular time a major calamity, not
only to the senate but to the country
at large.
"X cannot recall any death that
has been a greater calamity to pub
11c service."
Found By Maid
Robinson's body was discovered at
8:15 a. m. (EST) by the family's
negro maid, May jasper.
Coroner A. Magruder MacDonald
said his death was due to heart
disease.
Doctor George W. Calver, cop Hoi
physician, said Robinson apparently
hsd left his bed about midnight and
had gone to the bathroom where he
fell face downward.
Calver said Robinson had suffered
several neart attacks in recent
months.
The physician said that when Rob
inson made the address which touch
ed off fiery senate debate on the court
Issue he became very pale and ap
parently cut his address short.
"I did not see him at the time,'
Calver sad, "but many who were
there noticed he became very pale
and apparently cut his speech short.
Senator Copeland rushed to his side
when ho stopped speaking.
Colleagues Shocked
Aa word of his death spread over
the capttol, many of his colleagues
went to the Robinson home, the first
to arrive were Senators Harrison (D.
Mlss.) and Walsh (D.-Mass.)
"I am shocked beyond expression,"
Harrison said as he departed.
"Senator Robinson's death was
most tragic, coming, as it did, in the
midst of one of his greatest fights
and Just before he was to be honored
to a place on the supreme bench."
The sudden death of the senate
leader shocked the capital and threw
the administration's legislative pro
gram Into turmoil.
President Rocwevelt, informed of
the senator's sudden death, was deep
ly shocked.

1033, was personally In charge of
the administration's two major leg
islative campaigns to enact President
Roosevelt's- bills to reorganize the
courts and the executive departments.
His colleagues generally had expected
his appointment to the supreme court
to fill the vacancy created by the re
tirement of Justice Van Devanter.
The Democratic leader had been
working with terrific energy during
recent weeks In an effort to devise
a compromise court bill for which
he could obtain senate approval. The !
substitute measure now under Ue- j
bate was drafted under his direction.!
He ' also had given close personal j
attention to the government reor-1
ganization program. Two or three
weeks ago he personally Introduced a
compromise bill to carry out the chief j
executive s reorganization program
and had called his committee to be
gin work on it today.
Wife Away
Robinson's home, where he was
found dead today, is directly across
the capitol plaza from the senate
wing of the capitol. He was tempor
arily living alone as Mrs. Robinson
had gone home to Little Rock, Ar
kansas. The sudden death of Robinson gave
rise immediately to speculation over
his succssor as Democratic leader
When talk of his possible appoint
ment to the supreme court began,
three major possibilities were men
tioned for leader Senator Byrnes of
South Carolina, Harrison of Missis
sippi and Barkley of Kentucky.
Robinson, for the past 15 years
Democratic leader in the senate, has
been one of the outstanding polit
ical figures in Washington.
After attending the University of
Arkansas and the Virginia law school,
Robinson began reading law in a
small lawyer's office back in 1892.
Two years later, he was elected to the
general assembly of his home state.
While serving in the legislature,
Robinson continued to practice law,
and has, off and on. since. But pub
lic office became his chief career
when he was elected to congress In
1902. during the administration of
President Theodore Roosevelt.
After serving In the house 10 years
Robinson retired to become Governor
of Arkansas. He only stayed In the
governor's office a few months, how
ever, because a vacancy appeared In
the senate and he was quickly chosen
to fill It.

globe the airmen streaked out across
the wild reaches of the Yukon and
Northwest territory for the shores of
Canada, 1.500 miles away.
Favorable winds kept the plane
ahead of schedule, and last night It
became known definitely the objec
tive would be "beyond Oakland." As
originally announced by the Kremlin,
the flight was to be from Moscow to
San Francisco or beyond.
The purpose of the flight, as an
nounced by Pilot Gromoff. was to
"confirm again the possibility of reg
ular communications Inter - conti
nentally by way of the North Pole."
Actually, the Soviet government
wanted to demonstrate further the
practicability of Soviet engineered
and manufactured aircraft, as first
strikingly attested by the successful

YOURS FOR HEALTH!
5 v'v-
Your favorite grocery store
has Snider's "Farm - Fresh"
butter for you fresh each
day. Ask for it by name
and be sure of receiving the
best to be had!
Snider's "Farm-Fresh" but
ter is a recipe for health
that never fails to give you
added energy. When it is in
cluded in your meals, it
means the stimulation of
healthy appetites and com
plete satisfaction.
NO SUBSTITUTES There is no substitute for
nature's own health food. Perhaps preparations that taste
slightly like butter, but never anything with all of the good
ness of it. When you buy BUTTER, you are aiding a local
industry, and in turn, helping yourself to health. Ask for a
really "Farm-Fresh" butter at your grocer the next time.
It pays!
1 FRESH I
SfA00 CREAMIRv ,UTTER m
"FARM-FRESH" The rich, pure cream used
in the production of a truly fine butter must he "farm
fresh". Carefully selected dairy herds from fertile farms
furnish the raw material for this better butter. The
cream is rushed to the dairy shortly after it has been
cooled in the milking station. A procedure such as this
guarantees you "Farm-Fresh" Butter,
PRODUCTION Men in white grade the
cream, pasteurize it, and then make it ready for the
actual churning. The sterile churns, operated by skillful
dairymen, work much the same as the old fashioned
churn. Each man has his own duty. One man tests
the butter for excess moisture. When the butter has
been cut and wrapped, it is rushed to your grocer,
"Farm-Fresh."
FLAVOR Butter is a delicate food.
It must have a flavor that is good and stays that way,
Therefore, when you use "Farm-Fresh" butter you im
mediately realize that it has the fine flavor and aroma
that a good butter should have. This superior butter,
when properly kept, will retain its flavor as long or
longer than any other. It's "Farm-Fresh"!
HEALTH Butter is nature's own
food.. There is nothing artificial about it. That is why
"Farm-Fresh" butter retains all of the vitamins and
health giving qualities, Children grow stronger with
good butter. They love it on bread or in tasty dishes.
See that they have plenty of good, pure butter with every
meal, but be sure it's "Farm-Fresh"!
COOKING Nothing can replace but
ter in cooking. It lends a tasty flavor to any dish, no
matter how you prepare it. It really makes cooking
easier, this dairy product. When you add butter to any
recipe, you are adding health. It might even be termed
as "condensed sunshine". Try "Farm-Fresh" butter
your next meal and just see how your family enjoys it.
