MILITIA GATHERS TO DUST OFFICIAL
Gov. Long Of Louisiana Later
 Says Move Only Test

New Orleans, Dec. 3 LP,-Statc militiamen, hastily mobilized by Governor Huey r. Long as Robert <. Maestri prepared to assume charge of the state conservation depart 1nent office, returned to civilian pur- suits today, the need for their serV- ices apparently having passed with the peaceablc retirement of V. k. irion, former conservative head. Irion surrendered his post yesterday after losing a court battle for the office.
 For months the title to the con- ScrNa1ion department o -cC had been lied up in litigation, with 1rion. ap- pointcc of the late Governor Henry I'uqEa. in physical pos --Hion. 10 the exclusion Of Maestri, appointec of Governor Long. Recently the state supreme court upheld the claim of MaeStri.
 Ask Writ For Appeal
 Attorneys for Irion, who claimed he was not legally removable at this time, asked Chi Justice Charles A. O'Ncil for a writ of supcrsedeas which would have permitted an ap- peal to the federal court.
 Earl K. Long, brother of the gov crnor, and of counsel for Maestri, while waiting yesterday with Irion' $ attorneys for the chief justice to act on the request for the super scdeas writ, said to Irion, who join cd the grol ,. You , we been and arc holding the conservation office by na,n force. and the militia will be used to remove you"
 About that time, in another sec tion of the city. residents were thrown into excitement by the mobilization of the national guard at Jackson barracks. It developed that Adjutant General Ray II. Elem ing. on instructions from Governor Long, was mastering artillery and cavalry units.
 Writ Denied By Court
 Meanwhile. the supersedeas writ was denied and Irion said he was ready to give up the conservation office. Nacstri took charge and di- rectcd the discharge of all previous employees of the departments office but two.

Spikes Rumors, Admits Math Difficulties, Asks No Public Pity in First Public Interview at the Point" in Century.

West Point. x. Y, Dec. 3 Pj- h the first published interview per mitted a West Point undergraduate tn more than 100 years. Alonzo Par lam. negro cadet, today spiked ru~ lnors that he has been ostracized at the United States military academy.
 Parham, who was appointed to West Point by Representative Oscar be Priest, of Chicago, said:
 Published reports that cadets never talk to me or that my reI3- lions with them arc strained arc absolutely false. l realize that or Gcrs cannot be issued governing friendships and that such d matter is purely personal. Statements to the effect that cadets have been or dcrcd not to talk to mo are false.
 Since July ] when l entered. my treatment at the hands Of officers and cadets has been fair, and never under any circumstances has there hccn any sign of discrimination or prejudice. All the officers are glV- ing me q square deal.
 Enters All Activities
 T have participated in every aC- tIvity with other fourth claSsmcn from the minute of my arrival and in addition to the military drills, Lave participated in intramural sports playing baseball, basketball, football and several others. At the football trips to Boston, New Haven and New York city, I have marched with my company and sat in the stands exactly as the other cadets
 He said that mathematics had given him considerable trouble and that he had asked for and received extra instruction on two occasions after he had been posted for being deficient in the subject.
 lie said he also had been required with several others to attend one hour conferences for extra work in mathematics four times a week. H" had not asked for cadet coaching, he said.
 Dislikc5 Public Pity
 Parham objected to publicity given him and said that it was dis CouraginS to sec my position so bad 4y mlsSeprcscnted and to be sing.cd out as an object for pity
 Major General William E. smith, superintendent of the academy, said:
 This youne man is absolutely on lis own exactly as every other cadet and to single hIm out merely be cause of his color is unAmCrican.'
 He said that no orders had been issued requiring cadets 10 refrain rom talking 10 parham and that if ke discovered any officers or cadet issuing such orders or joining Il movement or clique to do so, he would immediately bring the offend rr before general court martial He said that 1T cadets were involved in such a movement he might in 1erpret it as hazing. which under 1hc law is grounds for pcremptory dismissal.
