Kingfish Long Has Not Been Defeated
 Yet In Filibuster
So Many Amendments Presented He Can Talk Half Hour on Each = Roosevelt Hears There Is No Hope to Pass Measures

-
 1 cloture rule. But he still is full of fight.
 Staggering out of a conference with President Roosevelt last night, Long tried in every way to intimate that Mir Roosevelt ap- proved his campaign against the branch-b banking provisions of the Glass bill. But he evaded direct answers on specific questions on this point.
 "As usual, the president -elect is right" he said. Watch my move- ments. I have done what I thought ought to be done and will con- tinue what I am doing. That's my answer.
 Senator Glass also saw MT Roos. evelt, but declined to discuss the conversation. The president. .elect himself merely chuckled when newspapermen asked if he would attempt to end the Long, Glass feud.
 Long's reference to amendments spotslights the gag joker. The unanimous agreement was that no senator should speak more than an hour or more than once on the Glass bill. But that is on the bill itself. Every senator, the agree- ments stipulated, may speak for half an hour on each amendment. Amendments have been falling on the clerks desk for days.
 Long and Senator Thomas. dem, Okla, will speak on each one un. less the bill is altered to suit them. Their ideas differ from those of Senator Glass, dem. Va, 76-year- avA o,,khAvs AP tSaA ha anL htt1 x1hA fu no match for Long in beef and brawn but who can give something away even to the kingfish in stub born determination.
