BANK ACCOUNTS OF SENATOR LONG
 LEADERS ASKED
Opponents Expect Sensa= tiOnal Disclosures If the
 Records Are Produced
By I. I. FEMRITE

United Press Stan COrrespondcnt)
 New Orleans, Nov 20-UP)-- Bank accounts of subordinate lead CTS of the Huey P. Long political machine were summoned before a senate investigation committee to- day. Anti-Long forces expected sensational disclosure of corruption they alleged gave victory to John H. Overton, Long candidate in the 1892 senatorial primary.
 Meanwhile an anti-Long revolt seemed to be gathering momentum in the Kingfish's political empire. A voters organization in the sixth congressional district .(12 parishes north and northwest of New Or leans, including the city of Baton Rouge), planned trump" con- vention this week to establish ma- chfnery for the election of suc- ccssor to the late Congressman Be- livar E. Kemp. Six thousand voters signed petition asking Governor O. K. Allen, a Long man, to set an election date. Allen did not comply.
 Bank officials summoned to tes- tify before the Senate committed today were told to bring all rec ords pertain-lg to the accounts of Seymour Weiss, treasurer" of the subordinates. Weiss, at previous hearing, testified that he disburs- ed Overton's campaign funds in cash, but angrily refused to give details. Former Senator Edwin s. Broussard, whom Overton defeated claimed the Long machine spent much more money than allowed under state law.
 An outstanding Long opponent, Francis Williams, candidate for mayor of New Orleans against the regular democratic incumbent, T. $. Walmsley, said unrest over Longs policies originated with the common people and not with poli- ticians.
 Masses freed an enslaved peo- pie, Williams said. But Huey Long has led the free people of Louisiana into the bondage of Long,"
 ; Williams said the anti-Long movement was partly due to Longs criticism of President Roos- evelt.
 Fifty members of the Louisiana legislature from north state parish es have petitioned Governor Allen tax relief and invoke governmental economy. They threatened to call themselves into session if the gov ernor rejects their plea.
 On recent speaking tour of the state, Senator Long was show cred with eggs,, fruit and stench bombs, although not all his audi enceS were unfriendly. Several places gave him warm welcome.

 Prices rose fractions to points and several issues made new highs for the day. For a time in the late trading demand was so great for stocks that tickers fell behind the market. The public was again coming into the buying side greatly encouraging the professional ele- ment in it's efforts to set off a bull movement.
 Heaviest dealings were noted in the automobile division. General motors was active and strong, ris- ing more than point. ChrysleI jumped more than points and Auburn nearly 4 points. A lower dollar was distinct benefit tt these companies since it was di- rectly responsible for a pickup in demand for automobiles from abroad. The weekly steel review of the magazine Steel noted a pick up in the automobile industry. ', Among the issues to make new highs for the year or longer were American Can, Du Pont, Conti- mental Can, Sears Roebuck, Mathie- son Alkalk, Texas Gulf Sulphur and Pathe Exchange A.
 United States Steel was a favor ite in the late dealings. It crossed 45 for d gain of more than 2 points. National Steel rose more than also while Bethlehem rose 2. Reports from the steel industry were favorable. The rate for the country this week was reported at 26.y per cent of theoretical capa- city. indicating that the rise of last week was being held.
