CAROLINA FRIDAY, JULY 1?, 1937 (EIGHT PAGES) NUMBER 122 i" SENATOR JOS. T. ROBINSON DIES ? I Was Democratic Majority Leader Since 1922? Death a Great Shock To Capital and Nation Washington, July 14. ? Sen ator Joe T. .Robinson, Demo cratic leader since 1922 and President Roosevelt's chief Sen ate adviser, died suddenly to day in hfe capital apartment home. Robinson's body was discov ered at 8:15 a. m. (EST) by the family's Negro ninld, Mary Jasper. Coroner A. Magruder MacDon ald said his death was due to heart disease. ' ?* Doctor George W. Calver, Capi ' tol physician, said Robinson ap parently had left his bed about midnight and had gone to the bathroom where he fell face down ward. Calver said Robinson who was 64 years old, had suffered several heart attacks in recent months. The physician said that when Robinson made the address which touched off fiery Senate debate on the court issue he became very pale and apparently cut his ad dress short. "I did not see him at the time," Calver said, "but many who were there noticed he became very pale and apparently cut his speech short. Senator Copeland rushed tp" his side when he stopped speak ing." Tentative plans were made" to send Senator Robinson's body to Arkansas tomorrow evening. As word of his death spread over the capital, many of his col " leagues went to the Robinson home, the first to arrive were Senators Harrison (D.-Miss.) and Walsh (D-Ma?s). Both were af fected so deeply they declined to comment.'"' The sudden death of the Senate leader shocked the capital and thfew the administration's legis lative program into turmoil. Robinson who had been Demo cratic leader since 1922, was per sonally in charge of the adminis tration's two major legislative . campaigns to enact President Roosevelt's bills to reorganize the courts and the executive depart ments. His colleagues generally had expected his appointment to the Supreme Court to fill the vacancy created by the retire ment of Justice Van Devanter. Washington. July 14. ? Senator I Josiah W.

ROBINSON HUNT FOR EARHART PLANE BECOMING HOPELESS TASK Aboard " the Aircraft Carrier Lexington near Howland Island, July 14. ? In fierce equatorial heat, fliers of the Lexington con tinued today their increasingly hopeless search in the South Paci fic ocean for Amelia Earhart Putnam and Frederick J. Noonan, navigator of her plane, missing 12 days on a world girdling flight. Forty-two of t'he Lexington's' 63 fighting planes scanned a great area along the international date line west of Howland, the island which the aviatrlx and Noonan failed to reach in an attempted 2,570 mile flight from New Guinea July 2. The air fleet returned to the ship after five hours and reported no trace of the lost globe-girdling plane. >?The heat was so intense t'he avi ators.. ^smeared their faces with grease to prevent sunburn. Since the air fleet was cover ing both sides of the dateline, those ou the left flank were countt ing time as Thursday and the right flank operating as of Wed nesday. The Lexington was mov ing northward. Curtailment of the number of planes in operation came as a re lief to the Lexington's mechanics, who had been working long hours under the hot equatorial sun to keep the air fleet in shape. ""In the first of the Lexington's jaerial searching operations yestr" (Chief of Navy operations. Ad- j miral William D. Leahy, in Wash ington, said he hoped the Lexing-1 ton would cover all the South Pa cific area likely to offer rescue possibilities. (Leahy said the Earhart search would not change the NaVy's policy and that it would continue to do everything possible ' to aid persons in distress at sea. (Asked whether the Navy's) search had cost as much as J250, 000 daily, Leahy stated the ex pense could be computed only by determining the -amount of fuel used iu excess of what would have been consumed in ordinary cir- 1 oum3tances ) . day 60 planes were used.
