BY the Associated Press.

by tne ASSOclateo FreSS.
NEW ORLEANS, November 29.-Sen-
ator Huey Long was faced today with
open revolt by voters who protested
against an attempt to place a long
picked candidate in vacant congress
sional seat
Even while Long was making an up
roarious appearance before a Senate
Investigating Committee here, citizens
in the sixth congressional district took
steps TO oppose the "Kingfish," their
action eliminating in a mass meeting
in Baton Rouge last night where speak
ers called for Ian overthrow of Hitler
ism in louisiana"
Called together by leaders who had
advised them to use revolutionary
force, if necessary at the point Of bay
onetS to demand their legal rights"
more than 5000 citizens shouted their
defiance of the administration as speak
erS urged them to ignore the State au-
thorities and set up machinery for
naming sixth district Congressman
by popular ballot.
SnOutS OIL 'Iynch EN- ana give EN-
the rope" repeatedly rang through the
packed audience in the Community
Club pavilion as District Judge Nat
Tycer of Hammond denounced the Dis
trict Democratic Committee, Senator
Long and Gov o. K. Allen for a
maneuver described as designed to elect
unopposed the Long candidate and shut
out all opposition candidates.
The protesting citizens obtained a
court order to halt special election
set for next Tuesday at which Mrs.
Bolivar E. Kemp. the Long candidate,
was slated for an unopposed election.
The group also called an election for
December 81 to nominate a representa-
tive by popular vote. announcing that
all candidates would have until Decem-
Der 8 to file their candidates.. The
court order against next Tuesdays elec-
ton was made returnable Monday, when
State officials will be required to show
cause why the injunction should not
be made permanent.
Longs appearance before the Senate
Committee looking into the election
OF Senator John H. Overton brought
an unroar from spectators as Long
placed witnesses on the stand to refute
"hearSay testimony and untruths
against himself and then took the
stand to make an oratorical attack on
his enemies and vindicate his own ac-

REPORT TRUE BILL
IN WYNEKOOP CASE
Grand Jury Said to Have
Voted to Hold Woman
for Staying.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November ga true bill
charging DR.. Alice L. Wynekoop with
the murder of her daughter-in-law
Rheta was reported to have been voted
by the county grand jury today.
The action was reported after several
witnesses, including the police officers
who heard the 62-year-old woman's
confession last Friday, had testified
Apparently the State had not taken
up the case against her son Earle, held,
like her, in the county Jail. Earle was
locked up Monday on warrant charg-
ing that he was an accessory to the
murder by pistol shot of his wife, and
today was allowed to visit his mother
as she lay i'll with a bad cold and high
blood pressure in the Jail hospital
While the prosecutors were marshall
ing witnesses before the grand jury, a
letter was made public purporting to
inject a secret lover into the case.
1t was delivered yesterday to DR..
Catherine Wynekoop, daughter of the
accused woman. But the letter inside,
written in red ink, was addressed ITO
reporters" and read substantially: DIR.
Wynekoop and Earle had nothing to
do with the murder of Rheta. l was in
love with her. I killed her. Tommy"
The defense attorney Immediately
seized upon the note as support for DR..
Wynekoop, who confessed she shot
Rheta after chloroform had been ad-
ministered to her daughter-in-law. but
after being held for murder she re-
pudiated the document.
DR.. Frank Mcnamara, county jail
physician, said his elderly patient was
in better health today. remarking that
she had marvellous recuperative pow
ers." Her bronchial cough, along with
very high blood pressure, had placed
her in danger of pneumonia yesterday.
She was still confined to bed.
Through her attorney Dr. Wynekoop
reiterated that Rheta was victim of
moron. perhaps the same youth who,
she related, invaded her basement sur
gical Office last Summer and forced
Rheta to give him 500 from the doc
tors desk

The agreement provided. among other
things, that all men are to be re-em-
ployed without discrimination. and that
while further negotiations are in prog
ress any points on which the affected
parties are unable to agree are to be
submitted to the Regional Labor Board
for mediation.
Other points in the agreement pro-
vide for the launching Of negotiations

In regard to disputes involving wages
the agreement provides that any IN

After firemen had directed hundreds
Of streams of water on buildings and
had finally brought the flames under
control, Fire Marshal Michael J. Corrl-
gan said an investigation would be made
to determine If the blaze was caused by
incendiarism.
However, he said there was possibil-
ity that it was due to short circuit in
electric wiring. and O,Connor laid the
blame to sparks from a passing train.

Among the spores sent aioft were
those of common bread mold. known to
every housewife; the red mold that
causes bloody bread" by terminating
in blood-like spots after bread is baked,
and strawberry rot that causes the
"whiskerS" sometimes seen on berries

in the experiment previously had been
collected by Meier on airplane fights.
Though the spores survived the

Tests that will cover many months are
being made to learn whether develop

vigor altered or their hereditary quail
ties changed.
Results of these tests are expected
to add considerably to useful knowledge
concerning these fungi and related
forms by determining how they are
affected by conditions in the upper
