Welles, formerly Mathilde Townsend,

has been mentioned as likely choice
for some high post in the State De-

The Townsend home would bring the

ROOSEVELT IS SSAME OLD FRANK.
SAYSLONG AFTER INTERVIEW
Arrives Half Hour Late to
"Tak Turkey" and Leaves
Pleased.
swatch My Movements" He
Says, but Is Vague on
FiIibuster Plans.

BY the Associated Press.
Arriving nearly half an hour late for
a conference with President-elect
Roosevelt last night at the Mayfiower
Hotel, Senator Huey Long, self-styled
Louisiana "Kingfish," discussed the
Glass banking bill with Mr.. Roosevelt,
but was vague afterward as to his plans
concerning the measure against which
he had filibustered for week.
Pounding on the door of Mr.. Roose-
velt's suite, Long entered with the
statement that he was going to talk
turkey" He came away with loud
praises for the coming President.
Hes the same old Frank" Long said.
Hes just like he was before the cleo
ton. He's all wool and yard wide.
We discussed the Glass branch banking
bill, and Mr. Roosevelt is right and you
future to see how I'm a-goin..'
Directing to the branch banking
phases of the Glass BILL Long had tied
up the Senate in an iron-bound fill
buster preventing the transaction Of
almost all business until late yesterday
when an unanimous consent agreement
was arranged for the limitation Of de-
bate. Earlier in the day the Senate
had rejected by a single vote motion
to break Longs f1libuster by application
of the cloture rule.
At Odds With Leadership.
Beyond the Louisianan's battle against
the Glass bill lies persisting fight
with the leadership of his party in the
Senate He has had many exchanges
and numerous disagreementS with Sena-
tor Robinson of Arkansas, the Demo-
cratic floor leader, and last session
voluntarily resigned all his committee
assignments as result.
With the f1libuster question still
looming large in the Senate there was
much speculation whether Mr. Roose-
velt would use his influence to end the
row between Long and the party
chieftains. Newspaper men asked him

effective and enduring remedies for the
present depression and for the unem-

the whole world

field will not be successful. What Is
needed Is comprehensive program

last night after he had left Mr.. Roose-
velt's suite whether the President-elect
was going to crack down" on him.
Long raised his voice and shouted:
Crack down on me? He don't want
to crack down on me. I came out of
this room happy and satisfied. He told
me. 'Huey, you're going to do just as I
tell you,' and that's just what I'm agoin'
to do. He's great President"
Although Longs Washington home Is

in the Mayfower Hotel, where Mr..
Roosevelt Is making his headquarters,
the Louisianan was about half hour
late In arriving at the President-elect's
room. Somewhat disheveled, he stalked
through q cluster of newspaper men, to
whom he said, I'm agoin' to talk turkey

door. As he entered he half turned

The correspondents asked If he re-

answer was:
Il amt afraid of anything except the

dent-elect.

He asked me then How much
money has your candidate got?'
Il told him, He hasn't got any
money; that's the reason he wants q
job and he said, Well, he can't have
it, and that Is the reason he amt
a-going to get it.
We discussed everything from inter
national to national and local subjects.
Asked If they had discussed the wal
debt situation, Long replied, I'VE did
and Mr.. Roosevelt referred to the Scrip.
lures. which, he said, says that interes.
Is uSury."
He knows more about the Bible than
I do," Long continued You know, the
Bible says that interest Is usury. II
deals very strong with usury."
On the subject of whether he would
continue his filibuster on the Glass
banking bill, Long said II am not going
to change my position" and added he
was for speeding legislation, the proper
legislation"
"Just Watch My Movements"
II am going to speed legislation te
quick defeat" he emphasized in referring
to the banking bill
Asked whether Mr.. Roosevelt approved
of his tactics. the Louisianan said:
He has approved everything, except hi
is in favor Of county branch banking
but not State branch banking"
Efforts to get Long to say that Mr.
Roosevelt was outrightly opposed to the
Glass bill failed. To such a question
he said:
THAT Is an unfair question, but you
just watch my movements from nov
on" He added:
"You can take it from me that Presi

Of LIVING
REPORT READY
TOMORROW
Sen. Harrison Thinks Presi.
dent Will Give 1t Liberal
Construction"

Brighter prospects appeared to-
day for Government employees, so
far as restoration of their is per
cent pay cut is concerned, with
the expectation that the report OF
the Bureau of Labor Statistics on
living costs would reach President
Roosevelt tomorrow.
Strong sentiment in favor Of
abolition of the pay cut appeared
both in the Senate and in the
House, and Senator Pat Harrison
CD of Mississippi, chairman Of
the Senate Finance Committee,
expressed the opinion that Presi.
dent Roosevelt would give "a lib
eral construction" to the living
cost report.
Haste Not Expected
It was expected today, however,
that inasmuch as the report had
not reached the President in time
for him to . lounce partial res
toration of pay as a Christmas
gift, he would hasten his an
nouncement in the matter.
Government personnel officers
pointed out that pay rolls in the
Federal offices are not made up
until around the 10th of the
month, and that as the change in
pay status could not go into eff.
feet before January Is, there was
no occasion for haste.
If living costs have advanced
sufficiently since the pay cut was
made, based on costs in the year
1928, the President can eliminate
any part of the cut. up to the
full Is per cent. General belief
of late has been that one-third
of the cut would be restored,
making the cut for the ensuing
six months 10 per cent.
Elimination Gets Backing
Whatever the action of the
executive at this time, sentiment
is developing strongly in Congress
for elimination of the cut. Not
only does Senator Harrison, who
was one of the first to put him.
self on record as against the cut,
believe that the President will
interpret the law literally in ap-
plying the living costs differen.
tial, but he believes that Con.
gress will act to aid the Govern
ment workers as well.
Also, Republicans will line up
strongly for full restoration of
the Is per cent cut, it was be.
lieved, following a statement by
Representative Bertrand H. Smell
(RO of New York, minority floor
leader, that he favors such a
plan. He said:

WARM LUNCHES
To Be SERVED
IN SCHOOLS
Relief Funds to Be Used It
Hopkins Approves Plan;
$1,000 Weekly Need

District officials today are COM
pleting plans to serve hot lunches
to some 1000 undernourished
children in public schools of the
District when the schools reopen
after the Christmas holidays.
The plan, as now drafted, calls
for the use of food set aside for
the District by the Federal Ser
vice Relief Corporation. About
$4,000 per week will be expended
in purchasing additional food and
hiring cooks and other workers.
Approval Seen
The plan is to be submitted to
Harry L. Hopkins, Federal emer'
gency relief administrator, who
is expected to approve it in time
for the first lunch to be served
on the day schools reopen.
The food will be prepared in
cafeterias in the schools, and tenn
porary lunch rooms will be estab-
lished in the school buildings to
serve the lunches.
The chief obstacle in the way
of putting the plan into opera
ton has been the ruling of Hop
kins tina no relief should be
granted to any person until a
case worker had investigated the
need of that person. This has
been overcome by sch e m
whereby teachers will report cases
of needy children to Leroy A.
Halbert, District Emergency Re
lief Administrator, and Halbert
will send a case worker to check
each case.
Meeting Called
Meeting today to complete the
setup for the lunches were DR..
Frank w. Ballou, superintendent
of schools, who first urged the
serving of lunches to needy pupils;
Capt. Howard C. Clark. Assistant
Engineer Commissioner; District
Commissioner George E. Allen,
