He added he had taken no part in

Challenged by Barkley.
Senator Barkley, Democrat, Of Ken
lucky, challenged the Louisianan to
prove these men were former employees
of Baruch, and when Long continued
his attack, Robinson said Long will
never see the day he can stand in the

munlty, the Arkansas Senator said.
Ihe men Long referred to were Hugh
s. johnson, Walter c. Teagle. Gerard
SWope Alfred p Sloan, mentioned as
administrators of the industrial bill:
Albert M. Brown, assistant budget di-
rector. and George M. Peek, farm ad-
ministrator.
When Barkley challenged him for
proof, however, Long said he had no
personal knowledge to that effect but
was reliably informed it was true.
In opening his answer, Robinson said
as far as his reference to the campaign
IN Arkansas is concerned, in which my
colleague, Mrs. Caraway, was elected, I
took no part In that campaign, as the
senator well knows, and was not in
volved"
Long, he went on, "is always attack
ing people while he Is immune to libel
Tor his statements on the floor of the
Senate"
He has the habit of abusing most
every one with whom he disagrees,"
Robinson continued. He has no war
rant for the conclusion that every time
he makes statement on this floor and
no one denies it, that 1t proves it."
Asks Longs Reputation.
Referring to an attack by Long yes
terday on the Roosevelt recovery pro-
gram, Robinson said 1t was wholly un-
justified" and continued:
The Senator's statements should not
be taken as true just because somebody
here doesn't waste the time of the
Senate to show that as usual, the Sena-
tor from Louisiana doesn't know what
he Is talking about.
Because the President chooses to
conduct his own administration, we
hear the Senator day after day rising
on this floor condemning the great
leader of the Nation, who is not only
receiving our support but the cordial
support from the gentlemen on the
other side of the chamber.
Now in his hour of trial there comes
one who calls himself Democrat, who
claims he is responsible for Mr.. Roose-
velt's nomination. He comes now and
repudiateS that leader in world affairs.
The time has come now to draw the
line. It's time for Democrats who have
any hesitation in the performance of
their duty to repudiate him who calls
himself a leader and whose acts are to
wreck his party"
Long yesterday had forced a recess
by his threat to talk until the body ad-
journed.
Declaring his unqualified opposition
to the industrial recovery, which he said
broke campaign pledges, Long frequent
ly picked up the 1892 Democratic cam
paign book and threw it down on his
desk, once with such force that it
bounced off onto the floor.
Long said Notwithstanding our
pledges to strengthen the antitrust law,
this bill Is combination of every evil
that could be imagined, because 1t goes
into the realm of the known and un-
known"
