HUEY LONG, the kingfish sena-
= = tor from Louisiana, has been
much vexed Of late concerning pa
tronage and flood control matters,
feeling that he was being ignored
by the administration. The other
day he went to the White House
In clustering mood. declaring he
was going to have his rights. He
had not been recognized In two APP
poIntments recently In Louisiana.
That Of controller Of customs was
given to a follower Of Senator Har-
rison Of Mississippi, and an avowed
enemy Of the Long organization |;
Paul B. Habans was selected to d.
rect the affairs Of the Home Loan
bank there.
Well, Huey was affably received
by President Roosevelt and Post
master General Farley, and what
the Chief Executive and the astute
politician told the rampaging gen.
tleman from the South must have
been plenty. The Kingfsh emerged
from the conference a silent and
seemingly sQuelched man.
EOR some weeks there have been
i persistent rumors in Washington
that Secretary Of the Treasury
Woodin would soon resign. These
were contradicted by officials con-
nected with the administration, but
were heard again when 1t was
learned that the streptococcus sore
throat from which Mr.. Woodin had
been suffering had not been cleared
up and had developed into "Qrinsy."
He has been on vacation, and the
President told him by telephone to
take a good rest and return when
he had regained his strength.
If Mr.. Woodin should step out, It
is believed his portfolio will be given
to Frank g. Walker, treasurer Of
the Democratic National committee,
who not long ago was made secre-
tary Of the new "super-cabinet" Mr..
Walker has long been the devoted
friend Of Mr.. Roosevelt and could
have had about any job he wished,
but heretofore he has preferred to
remain in the background.
NfISSOURIANS who are ardent
4V1 admirers of the President
have given him a handsome chest
nut saddle horse, born and bred in
Audrian county and now named
New Deal. The animal was present
ed to Mr.. Roosevelt by Senator
Clark and Representatives Cochran,
Lozier and Cannon, acting for the
donors.
nNE Of the old friends Of Secre-
" tary Of State Hull has been
given the agreeable post Of minis
ter to Finland. He Is Edward Al
bright Of Gallatfn, Tenn, editor and
publisher of the Sumner County
News and former president of the
National Editorial association.
ELLIOTT ROOSEVELT, son of
IL the President, did marry Ruth
Googins of Fort Worth, Texas, In
Burlington, Iowa; and the couple
sped down to the Lone Star state by
automobile.
CPAIN was thoroughly worked up
y by the discovery Of a great civil
ian plot to overthrow the existing
government, the cOnspirators In
Guiding various groups from Carl
lists to Communists. The civilian up
rising was to have been followed
by a military dictatorship, according
to the police, though the latter were
slow in arresting any army officers.
Hundreds of civilians were jailed
and seized documents indicate that
attempts on the lives Of members
of the republican government, bomb
ings of ministries, sabotage of com
munication lines and general strikes
were on the program.

Engelbert Dollfuss. who for a week has
ruled Austria as, dictator, definitely
established himself today as the lead
ing force fighting any attempt toward
q Hitler "putsch" in this country.
He took q firm stand against the
Hitlerites for the first time, dissipating
the oft-repeated charges Of Socialists
that he and his Christian Social party
have been flirting with the Nazis and
their ideas, such as union with Ger
many.
Chancellor Accused.
When the strict decree against public
assemblages and the rigid censorship
were imposed q week ago, Immediately
after celebrations Of Hitlers electoral
victory in Germany, they were believed
directed against his Austrian followers.
But the Socialists. numerically the
largest party, accused Chancellor DOLL
fuss of paving the way for Hitlerism and
the Hitlerites believed their opportunity
was at hand and talked Of a 'Rightist
coalition"
Spurning this suggestion, the chan
cellor last night bid for Socialist toll
erance of the dictatorship by warning
them against the Nazi threat.
II doubt whether the Socialists would
enjoy what would come next If the
present efforts of the Christian Social
or other government parties fall" he
said.
What Is good and sound in national
Socialism the NaZi program) Is really
the old Christian Social program. What
Is hollow phrase or demagogy, how
ever. does not interest u.s." he said. He
declared frankly his purpose was to
take the wind out Of the Nazis' sails" !"
Scheme Held Impractical.
The ban ON AuStro-German union
imposed by the victorious allies by treaty
and as condition to the new restora-
ton loan to Austria was viewed by
opponents Of the Hitlerites as making
their scheme impractical.
Meanwhile, however. the Kaisertreue

Chancellor Hitler a message urging "a
real pan-Germany" with a future
Danube federation under the Hapsburg
scepter. But 1t warned him against
making great Prussia" and discrimi-
mating against South German states.

Hapsburg "putsches" has led to mobili-
zation Of the Schutzbund-ther republi-
can guard. There were rumors that

, Cent Content Will Be
] Passed by Tonight.
(coutinued From First Page.)

Constitution" Ashurst told reporters at
the White House.
Indeed, think could say sos per
cent Is permissible. As to 81 per
cent bill we will have to consider 1t.
However, I am ready to listen to the
arguments"
Senator Ashurst had just conferred
with President Roosevelt at the White
House, but declined to comment on his
conference.
The bill reported to the House leaves
the matter of distribution to be regu-
lated by the States. An amendment
offered by Representative Vinson of
Kentucky, providing a method OF regu-
lation, was voted down.
No Advertising Provision.
No provision was made in the bill
against advertising Of beer. The Senate
Judiciary Committee wrote into the bill,
reported to the Senate at the last seS-
sion, a provision limiting advertising and
prohibiting it in dry States. The SEN
ate committee also included in that bill
q prohibition against sale to minors
That matter also was left by the Ways
and Means Committee today to the
States.
The beer bill was ordered reported to
the House without q roll call vote in
the committee. The committee, how
ever, Is overwhelmingly wet" in senti-
ment.
The title Of the bill is ''to provide
revenue by the taxation Of certain nom
intoxicating liquors. and for other
we've got the votes" Speaker Rainey
said, in discussing early passage. He
explained that he meant the Demo-
cratic leadership could muster a two
thirds House majority If necessary to
pass the bill under q suspension Of
the rules.
Asked whether the bill before the
Ways and Means Committee met the
approval Of President Roosevelt, Rainey
replied:
TT meets with White House ap-
prevail"
1t is provided that the bill shall take
effect IS days after enactment. How
ever permits for the manufacture of
the beer may be issued at any time
after the date Of enactment.
Penalties are provided for the ship
ment of the beverage into dry terri
tory, except for scientific, sacramental,
medicinal or mechanical purposes. Fines
of not more than $1,000 or imprison-
ment for not more than six months:
" bOOIl, may NC 1AAkOoSo.. A SSSSAANA
offense would bring imprisonment for
not more than one year.
Act Quickly on Request.
The new beer bill was reported less
than "a hours after Mr. Roosevelt's re-
quest to Congress. to legalize the bever-
age for the purpose Of obtaining about
$3.50, 0,00O, 600 a year in Federal revenue.
The Senate expects to send it to the
White House before the week end.
In predicting the measures speedy
enactment in . speech last night,
Speaker Rainey said 1t was not Cure
ALL" but the revenue to flow from 1t
would play part in balancing the
budget, along with economies to be ef-
fected, without "resorting to additional
irritating taxes"
As presented to the Ways and Means
Committee. the bill was along the lines
Of the Collier Blaine bill, passed by the
House last session and killed in the Sen
ate. The Blaine measure reduced the
alcoholic content from 80. to sos per
cent, but Senator Robinson said the
new Senate would accept the House
measure. Z. 49,,
