asked and received Longs permission
to put in the record similar state
ments from dozen persons. including
prominent citizens Of Louisiana.
Former Gov. Johh M. Parker Of
Louisiana was q character witness for
Moore.
Parker said he had known Moore
80 years. and had never heard his
reputation or character questioned
until recently"
Long consented that the name Of
Frank B. Noyes. president of The
Evening Star Newspaper Co., be in
troduced in the record as q character
witness for Moore.
Long observed, however. that Moore
had been out Of the newspaper busi-
ness for q number Of years.
Informed John D. Ewing Of New
Orleans would appear as a witness
to facts. Long objected to Ewing's
character testimony
Among other newspaper men now in
Washington whose names we're intro

were Paul Wooton, Russell Kent and
Bascom Timmons.
Exchange Is Violent.
The Long Harrison exchange yes
terday-a violent impact which drew
other Democrats into the row-was
called as bitter and personal a fight
as had occurred between Senators in
q long time
Once Senator Hastings, Republican,
Of Delaware. rose to interrupt:
"Gentlemen, I wonder If we can't
adjourn to some prize fight ring and
have it out"
Long, displeased at happenings be-
fore the Finance Committee, of which
Harrison is chairman, swung into ac-
ton. He started flinging taunts at
the Mississippi veteran because of his
opposition to Longs "share-the-
wealth" ideas Of taxation. Then Sen
ator Clark, Missouri Democrat, took
potshots at Long.
Here are some sample remarks:
Clark: There is no more connec-
ton between the very important reve-
nue. bill before the Senate and this
seven-hour harangue than there is
between the best thing to do for
recovery of the United States and who
hit the Senator from Louisiana at
Sands Point"
Long said he personally paid q
$500 bill for a sound truck used in
cried, Absolutely falsel" Long pro-
duced a signed receipt. Clark replied
that two bills must have been sent.
Clark charged that Long hid un-
der the bed" during the war. Long
said he didn't fight because Il wasn't
mad at anybody" 4,
Clark brought up Longs refusal to
waive his Senate immunity outside
Louisiana courts In connection with
the Ansell libel suit.
THAT" said Clark, "is what changed
the Senator's name from kingfish to
crawfish."
Long Ito Harrison): There are two
ways Of being Q friend. One is to get
your friend in trouble. stick him in
the back and drink his blood. The
other is" (here Long was inter-
rupted by being called down from the
chair.
Harrison: IF others care no more
about his (LongO estimate Of me
than care about it, 1t makes no diff
ference, because In my opinion the
opinion Of the Senator from Louisiana
is less respected ''' by the country
than that of any other Senator here"
Long: "It seems as though I've been
invited to 60 into Mississippi and
campaign"
Harrison: II will be . candidate for
reelection tvhen the time comes"

later. 1t came about largely because
Johnson first asked to appear for the
Wagner Labor Board bill and then
old not show up. Later, Wagner in
vited Johnson and still he did not
show up. Wagner's friends have
suspected the reason Is that johnson
has been talking about organizing
separate boards of labor mediation

That program might supersede the

Peek's Arena Is Vast,

A peek inside the Peek Export
Corporation will give you a slant or
the vastness of operations so far.
Mr.. Peek's corporation is a few
rooms and desks. They are throngeo
with people daily, but not exporters
and importers. The visitors are
nearly all looking for jobs.
His three banks are three letter
files, one for Cuba, one for Russia
and one for the rest of the world.
Only the insiders dppdren tly
realize yet that Peek is virtually a
man without q job.
His intimdtes suspect that only
an extraordinary enthusiasm for
his task keeps him at it. He seems
to hope that some day it Uill ,Dork
out all right.
So far, the other Government de-
partments have been cooperating by
secretly throwing lassoes over his
neck. Any trade agreement he makes
must be treaty, yet he has no power
to make treaties. The State Depart
ment must do that. Also, he must get
his money from the r. F. c.
N. r. A. to Put Over License.
Extension of the licensing power
Of the N. r. A. is expected to be
slipped into general bill In the clos
ing moments of Congress.
Certain authorities in the admin
istration (not including Gen. john
SOM are making arrangements for
that. Johnson is not opposed to it.
All he has said is that he will not
recommend such a course because
he is afraid of opening the subject
to congressional debate. That would
be direct retreat.

One Saturday Just before the Christ

I almost got up and Rugged her then
and there. OF course I knew what she
was going to tell me. She and Daddy.
Later. remembered that Daddy would
have told me about It himself and not
let her do It. but / wasn't thinking any
thoughts at al just then. was simply
being thrilled. Then I heard some
more words-and this Is where Tragedy
stalks right IN.
''Yes. Miss Spencer was saying. I'm
