lines were awry to-
day as a great push started in the
state legislature to drive Governor
Hughey p Long from office on i'm
parchment charges, embracing 19
counts, including one to plot muir
der.
Fighting the battle of his tumult-
uous political life, the 36-year-old
governor struck back sternly under
the handicap of his thinning ranks.
He went down to defeat in his first
major counter attack when he lost
in his attempt to adjourn the leg
islature by vote of 38 to SIS.
For weeks his opponents, bitter
at his official actions, have been
working toward Impeachment but
they held back through fear they
could not muster the necessary
two-thirds majority. Developments
Of recent days, including desertion
from Gov. Long Of virtually the
entire daily press of Louisiana,
have given them hope.
The administration forces. how
ever, believe they can muster suf-
ficient strength to their cause to
thwart impeachment efforts. They
brand the charges as political chi
canary" and plan to protect the
administration through parlia-
mentary maneuvers.
Attempts to force sine die ad-
journment failed when the house
Of representatives refused to ad-
iourn and instead listened to the
formal reading Of the impeachme II
resolution and an affidavit by Har-
ry A. Bozeman, known as Battling
Bozeman, eX-prize fighter and for
mer employe Of the state, who
charged the governor attempted to
get him to murder Representative
j. Y. Sanders, Jr., so he would not
block his legislative schedule. The
other charges in the impeachment
resolution covered a wide range
from misdemeanors in office to
high crime.

RIFT SEEN ON
FARMPROBLEM
President And Leaders In
Congress Differ On Prin-
ciple Of Bill
BY JAMES L. WEST
Associated Press Staff Writer)


WASHINGTON, March 27.-(P)-
A rift appears to be developing be-
tween President Hoover and some
of the congressional leaders charged
with drafting farm relief legiSla-
ton.
The surface reason is the deter
mination of the chief executive to
refrain from writing an agricultural
measure and imposing it upon con-
gresS, but behind that is a sharp
divergence of views as to the prin-
ciple of the bill.
Some Of the farm leaders in con-
greSS take the position that since
Mr.. Hoover led the fight before the
country for a relief measure omit
ting the equalization fee principle
and interpreted the party platform
as to a specific program, he should
play the principal part in framing
the legislation.
The presidents view is that the
Kansas City platform provided a
plan; th1t this was presented to the
country time and again and the
principles are well known alike to
congress and the country.
The disagreement on the funda-
mental principles of the bill revolves
around powers to be given the pro-
posed farm board. Mr.. Hoover'S idea
is for a grant of power which would
enable the board to deal with not
only the present problem in the ag-
ricultural industry, but also those
that may arise in the future.
This is resisted in some congress-
ional quarters on several grounds.
One is that the board given such
power might encroach upon the
functions of other agencies of the
government, such as the Interstate
Commerce commission and the farm
loan board.
