Nye Thinks Louisianan Would Have Entered

Third-Party Move. B? the Associated Press.

Whether a strong threat to Pres-

ident Roosevelt’s re-election died with 8enator Long was a subject of dis- agreement today among political lead- er* in the Capital.

•‘Long might easily have held the balance of power in 1936.” said Sen- ator Nye, Republican, of North Da- kota. “There is little or no doubt he would have been a candidate at the Democratic convention. I think he would have gone then into a third party movement. It is difficult to estimate his following, but it would have been material.

“His death lessens the possibility of a division In the Democratic party and to that extent strengthens the administration.

“Most emphatically, there is no one ©n the horizon to take his place."

Other Views Differ. But Senator Thomas, Democrat, of

Utah, Senator Norris, Republican, of

Nebraska, and a number of others placed different estimates on the pos- sible consequences.

Expressing belief that Long’s death Would not affect the outcome of next year's election materially. Thomas as-

serted a bolt by the Louisianan from the Democratic standard would have given the Democratic presidential candidate a conservative vote-getting appeal.

1 nomaus said no third party move- ment ever had been effective in the United States, and added Senator Long was “born in the wrong place to do damage to the Democratic party.”

“Suppose he had joined the Social- ists. Where would the votes have come from?” he demanded. “He would have wrecked his own following, because they are not the type who follow Norman Thomas.

"Suppose he had connected up with the Progressives. If President Roose- velt has any marking at all, it’s Pro- gressive.

"Fascism would have had no appeal whatever nationally. If we ever nave a Fascist group in America. Its leader will be very, very different from Sena- tor Long.

“His great strength was his ability to stand alone. Probably no one has done it more effectively.”

Place Could Be Filled. Thomas, who was chairman of a

committee which investigated cam-

paign expenditures in Louisiana a few years ago. emphasized he had no in- tention of belittling Senator Long or his following.

He said, however, that some one

else—“using his methods”—could take Long's place.

Senator Norris said he doubted that the administration would be either strengthened or weakened politically as a result of the assassination.

“I doubt very much if he would have organized a third party, or sup- ported a Republican nominee unless that nominee were some one whom he

thought superior to the Democratic j candidate,” Norris added.

Senator Donahey. Democrat, of Ohio, who lived in the same apart- ment building Long did, likewise held j that "whether the Senator lived or died wouldn't have changed the re-

sult in 1936.” “It is my opinion he was a Demo-

crat at heart.” Donahey asserted, •’and that he would have been guided largely by the line-up that presents Itself at the conclusion of the con-

ventions. It is probable he would have supported the President unless the opposition had presented a progres- sive candidate who met his Ideals.”

Discounting third party possibili- ties generaUy, he expressed belief that •’no one man can line up the progres- sives in this country."

EXTENT OF LONG’S ,

FORTUNE UNKNOWN Recent Statement in Senate That

He Earned $25,000 Last Year Recalled.

By the Associated Pr-ss. Although Senator Long was re-

tarded as well-to-do, little was known here as to the amount of his fortune.

He told the Senate last Spring that his income for 1934 was »25,000. It was during debate on a measure to repeal the publicity provision of the Income tax law.

■'Well,” observed Senator Tydints, Democrat, of Maryland, “the Senator's j salary was only $9,000. Where did the rest come from?”

“It was paid by people who didn’t have the sense that I have and hired me as their lawyer,” Long answered with a grin.

In response to a query by Senator j Neely, Democrat, of West Virginia, as | to what he did with the money, Long i said:

“I spent it on brass bands, foot ball tames and drinks for my friends.”

None but members of Senator Long’s family and close friends were per- mitted to view the body before It war, removed under a heavy guard of State police from a funeral home to the capitol.

Long's associates planned to make his funeral one of the most impressive in Louisiana's history.

Allen Directs Procram. Arrangements were in the hands of

the Senator’s closest friends, headed by Gov. Allen, to whom the Long leaders have turned for temporary leadership In the crisis brought on by the assassination.

In Washington, Senators Caraway of Arkansas, Overton of Louisiana, Thomas of Oklahoma and Schall of Minnesota were named to represent their colleagues at the funeral. The flags on the National Capitol and the Senate and House Buildings were low- ered to half staff. They will fly there until the burial.

Hundreds of persons poured into Baton Rouge, taxing hotels and pri- vate dwellings to accommodate the throngs.

The sense of shock that gripped the city on first news of the shooting and held it in somber silence after tne death of Senator Long yesterday gave way today to a subdued flurry of speculation over what would become of the all-powerful Long state politi- cal machine.

Whether Mayor T. Semmes Walms- ley of New Orleans. Long’s bitterest political foe; the Square Deal Asso- ciation, anti-Long organization wtih which his troops clashed on the streets of Baton Rouge last January, or others would come into power and break the Long machine entered the specula- tion.

Program Fate Uncertain. The fate of the “share-our-wealth"

movement, which Long built to Na- tion-wide proportions and hoped to use as a stepping stone to the Presi- dency of the United States, also was considered uncertain. Leaders here announced Gov. Allen would direct its activities; others predicted that with- out Long it would break up.

the question directly up to the Presi- dent and received a confirmation.

The President was represented as saying that he did not give out the news yesterday, intending to save It for the press conference scheduled for this morning in the President’s home. This conference was later postponed until this afternoon, when the Presi- dent and members of his family and a few friends were to gather on the lawn of the Val-Klll section of the Roosevelt estate for an old-fashioned picnic.

Talked About Half Hour. The President's confirmation did

not give any Idea of the length of the talk, but It was understood they talked for nearly half an hour. Father Coughlin motored to Hvde Park from New York wfth Mr. Ken- nedy In the latter’s large limousine.

While there was no real affiliation between Coughlin and Long in their ardent advocacy of leftist principles and their criticism of the New Deal, they had much In common because of their championship of what they claimed to be the interest of the poor and their fight against concentrated wealth and power. Early In the Rooec- velt administration Father Coughlin was more or less friendly to it, but as time went on he became a severe critic, his explanation being that the New Deal waa breaking faith and not living up to promises.

Spirit of Slain Senator Guides Legislature in

Special Session. By the Associatad Press.

BATON ROUGE. La., September ll. —The spirit of Huey Long guided to an end today his final special session

of the Louisiana Legislature. Long had been assassinated the

second night of the five-day session, but his majority forces in both houses could be relied on to vote "aye” on his

i dictatorial measures as surely as

though he were directing their passage | from the chamber floors, as was his

wont. The “death” session was scheduled

to end by noon, central standard time. Oeorge M. Wallace, first assistant

attorney general who collaborated on

the bills with Long, took the Senator’s accustomed place at the controls of the legislative machinery.

He steered them toward final passage without much debate and without the cunning "explanations” of bills which

Long gave at the head of the com- mittee table.

Thirty-eight of the thirty-nine bills were up for final passage today in the Senate. One of a minor nature had been withdrawn.

amendments and complete Its routine. Since no effort was made at this

session to repeal laws giving the State control of Federal loans and grants to Louisiana, Secretary Ickes said yes- terday in Washington the Govern- ment would not remove its restric- tions against Louisiana applications.

Long added fuel to the Are in his quarrel with the Federal Government at this session with his so-called "State's rights" bill.

He said these bills would prevent Federal boards from exceeding their "constitutional authority in the State” and would force State approval of Federal highway projects.

His redistricting bill for Judge N. H. Pavy of Opelousas, father-in-law of Dr. C. A. Weiss, Jr., the man who assassinated Long, aroused the ire of anti-Long leaders, but a motion to table the bill was promptly over- thrown.

This bill was aimed at defeating Judge Pavy in the January election by annexing his parish to St. Landry to the fifteenth district, where the Long forces counted on oarrylng the election against him.

New Orleans, whose government vir-

tually was seized by Long, fared bet- ter at this session, as it was planned to restore to the city a million dol- lars in revenue taken by the State while Long was battling the city gov- ernment under Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley’s control.

Governor, Ally of Long for

Years, Faces Heaviest

Responsibility. By the Associated Press.

BATON ROUGE, U., September 11. —Heavy-hearted over the death of Senator Huey P. Long, hie boyhood friend, whose political decisions he followed without question, Gov. Oscar Kelly Allen, titular heir to the power- ful Long political machine, faces the

responsibility of providing a leader- ship that will keep it intact.

The mild-mannered chief executive, who took as much pains to keep out of the spotlight as Senator Long did to catch its full glare, in the emergency has pledged himself to carry on with the principles of his assassinated friend.

Like Long, the 52-year-old former school teacher, now none too robust, has come a long way from the red clay hills in Winn Parish, where he and the Senator grew up on adjoining farms.

Their Rise* Differed. Long’s rise, however, was meteoric;

Allen's without spectacle. Both shook off their early poverty to become rich. Long through his law practice and Allen through business ventures and oil operations.

Allen gave Long financial backing in his race for railroad commissioner in 1917, and when Long was elected Gov- ernor in 1928 and Allen was elected to the State Senate, Long made him ad- ministration floor leader and later chairman of the Highway Commission charged with launching a $30,000,000 road program.

Long went to the Senate and backed his friend for the governorship, which he won. The boyhood friends now sat side by side in ruling the State, Long, the "dictator.” and Alien, his loyal ally, a combination of opposites until it was broken by the death of Long.

Was Born in Log Cabin. Gov. Allen was born August 8, 1882,

in a log cabin on his father's farm in Winn Parish. He got his early educa- tion between crops by riding a mule from his home to the nearest school house. At 16 he was given a teacher's certificate and with money saved from his teaching he went for a time to B school at Springfield. Mo., and later to Trinity College at Waxnhachie, Tex.

He taught for a time after that and then entered the business world, where he forged ahead on a program of hard work and thrift.

Gov. Allen married Miss Florence Love of Paris. Tex., in 1912. They have three children, Joyce Love, 22; O. K. Allen, jr., 19, and Asa Benton, 9.

Rlchberg. another former recovery administrator; Senator O’Mahoney, Democrat, of Wyoming; Secretary Wallace and Prof. Raymond Moley, original brain truster.

Snell asserted It was beyond the imagination of thoee who heard Rooeevelt take his oath to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution” that "mldw’ay of his term he would commit the unthinkable act of openly flaunting that oath because he found the United States Constitution stood between him and the realization of his political fantasies, as embodied

The minority leader also scored the Executive's "horse and buggy days” comment on the N. R. A. decision, declaring that "when the choice be- tween the United 8tates Constitution and the New Deal was placed squarely before him for a decision, he dis- honored his oath of office and de- cided In favor of the New Deal.”

“There Is the issue.” Snell con-

cluded. “The Constitution must give way to the socialistic, un-American policies of the New Deal, or they must

give way to it. It is an issue which has been drawn by the President. It is of his making. He has forced it

upon the country. "The Republican party is prepared

to meet that challenge. We will wel- come a straight-out light to the finish on that issue.”

Prom start to finish Senator Long's private life In the Capital was a never- ending extravaganza of contradictions.

His ways here were as unpredictable as they were novel.

Senators, who were astonished to hear the senior member from Lou- isiana mispronounce the simplest words, were even more amazed when Long used In the next breath correct- ly such a word as ‘•petroglyphlc.’’

He said ‘‘ain't’’ and "Herod-o-tus” and then would Quote Vergil without a falter.

Sometimes at night, after lying for hours In bed copying passages from the Bible, friends said today, they had seen him suddenly, in a burst of profanity, decide to tour Washing- ton’s fashionable night clubs.

SZ.OOe Messages in Day. He would Ignore messages from

leading citizens on occasion, yet his secretaries said he never refused a

request for an autograph. He sent autographs despite the fact he signed his name dally to hundreds of busi- ness letters. Once he received 32,000 letters and telegrams In one day.

He spent large sums on expensive, exquisitely-tailored clothes. He would turn down thousands of social Invita- tions, stating he did not care for a

gay life, and then out of a clear sky would show up at some highly formal function, startling the hostess with the presence of his bodyguard.

tion which he received u a Senatoi to attend affairs at the White House A secretary said he had not worn a

full dress suit since he was Oovernoi of Louisiana.

Frequenters of the Shoreham Ter- race regarded Long as one of Wash- ington’s latest night hawks, but at the Congressional Country Club he wa;

regarded as one of the city's earliest risers. He often arrived at the club shortly after daybreak for an 18-hole golf game.

Had Few Intimates. His score seldom was under 100

Invariably his foursome consisted ol himself, his secretary and two of hie guards. He had only a few Intimate friends, his secretaries said, listing as one of his closest acquaintances Senator Wheeler of Montana. Or rare occasions he went to call on the Wheelers at their home.

Besides his tours of the night clubs, where his arrival always created a

stir, the Senator’s social life was

limited virtually to the lobbies of the Senate, where he chatted with his conferees, and to his office, where often he talked until midnight with members of his staff.

Wednesday was a fast day with Senator Long, and although he was

passionately fond of beefsteaks, he al- lowed himself only one a week. Rigidly he was following a diet prescribed to

keep down his weight. On Wednes- day's his only food was liquid.

«at silently as Sir Samuel delivered what they interpreted as a friendly warning to Premier Mussolini that Britain would be strong in urging opposition to any unprovoked war against Ethiopia.

The British foreign secretary plead- ■

ed for a calm, dispassionate consid- eration of the Italo-Ethlopian prob- lem, but warned that this could not be done in an atmosphere of war threat*.

Baron Alois!, sitting In the center of the hall, listened Intently.

A stir of excitement ran through the auditorium when 8ir Samuel said that a spirit of war. "even of war for war's sake," has "raised its head j in more places than one.”

Peaceful Changes Demanded. As the British foreign minister de-

clared slowly and earnestly that, if changes must come, they must come "by consent, not dictation; by peace- ful means, not war or threat of war,” Aloisi stroked the back of bis neck nervously. I

The foreign secretary said: “If only these war clouds could be dispelled, with how much greater effect could we turn to those economic questions that often matter so much more in 1

the modern world than political prob- lems.”

Baron Aloisi, chief representative of Premier Mussolini, and other Ital- ian delegates arrived promptly for the session and shook hands cordially with the leaders of other countries.

Sir Samuel told the Assembly the British Government was prepared to take its share of any collective at-

tempt to "deal In a fair and effective way with the problem certainly troubling many people at present and which may trouble them even more in

the future.” Insinuations Answered.

“It has been suggested,” he said, “not only that British national opinion as well as the attitude of the united

Kingdom government is animated by some lower motive than fidelity to the League, but also that even this fidelity to the League cannot be relied upon.

“It is unjust and dangerously mis- leading to hold or to encourage such allusions.”

Sir Samuel declared: "The attitude of his majesty's government has al-

ways been one of unwavering fidelity to the League and all that It stands for, and the case now before us is no

exception, but, on the contrary, con- tinuance of that rule.

“The recent response of public opinion shows how completely the na-

Counsel for Senator Long said they would file formal notice of his death with the District Supreme Court In the near future and the case will be automatically dropped.

When suit was threatened, the Sen- ator announced he would not plead congressional Immunity, but after It had been filed he exhausted every

The case went to the Supreme Court on this point and that tribunal de- cided service of civil process did not constitute an arrest within the mean-
