MRS. RA|NEY OUT
OF RACE FOR SEAT
Widow Of Speaker to Get
Traditional Benefits of
House, However.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Mrs Henry T. Rainey will not be
candidate to succeed to the seat so
long held in the House by her late
husband, whose confidential secretary
and first lieutenant she has been
throughout his political career.
Close friends of Mrs. Rairey point
out, nevertheless, that as the widow
of the Speaker she will gain all the
benefits which tradition and prece-
dent have developed for the imme-
diate families OF late Congressman.
She will receive a years salary,
which is $4,000. Rainey, as Speaker,
received 5000; but it is customary,
as upon the death of Speaker Long
worth, that the widow be given only
the salary which her late husband
would have earned as an ordinary
Representative.
On Pay Roll as Secretary.
In addition, Mrs. Rainey is on the
Government pay roll as secretary TO
the Speaker. for which she receives
$4,620 annually. This will continue
until either she resigns or has been
succeeded
Attaches of the House Of Repre-
sentatives say there is no way in
which she could be removed i'm
mediately, even if there was occasion,
because appointments made by the
Speaker, as Speaker, can only be
altered by his successor. In Mrs.
Rainey's case this will not be until
after the next Congress convenes.
Rainey's Office staff, appointed when
he was an ordinary Representative, go
off the congressional pay roll Septem-
Der 10, or 80 days after his death.
S4,75O Split by Aides.
These are Miss Margaret Mcmahon
and Edwin T. Barnard, who split be-
tween them $4,750 annually, the usual
secretarial allotment for all members.
Mrs. Rainey, as the Speakers Sec
retary together with all the other ap-
pointees designated in that fashion,
become employees without an employer.
In addition to her, there Is a
parliamentarian, drawing $4,000 an
nually: an assistant parliamentarian.

Speaker, drawing 81 $50; a messenger
to the Speakers table, paid $l,740; a

PRESIDENT AVOIDS
LOUISIANA WAR
Long Praises Roosevelt for
Intention Not to In
terfere.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BATON ROUGE, La, August 25.-
Informed that President Roosevelt
planned no interference in the po-
litical war raging in Louisiana, Sen
ator Huey P. Long last night COM
mended the President for his stand,
and then went forward with his plans
against Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley
of New Orleans, whom the King
fish" has sworn to GUST from politics.
President Roosevelt said in his
Washington press conference that he
saw no reason for Federal interfer-
ence in the current struggle between
Senator Long and Mayor WalmSley
over political supremacy in New Or
leans.
Knows His Business"
Roosevelt knows his business"
said Long Hes no fool. I'm that
way about the Federal Government.
He's running it, and 1 haven't ever
bothered him in that"
Meanwhile, through his personal
political publication, the American
Progress Long threatened another
quick call for his controlled Legisla-
ture to take action against political
enemies.
Lauding the work of last weeks
special session. which took II hours
to put through 26 bills placing broad
military authority and control of cleo
tions in his hands, the Progress quoted
the Long followers in the assembly
as saying they were ready ito come
back any minute"
Hints Blow at Judges.
The Progress hinted broadly that
such a session might be for the pur-
pose of starting Impeachment pro-
ceedings against certain New Orleans
judges whom Long has repeatedly at
tackled in public utterances.
Long himself had nothing to say
about the possibility of another legis-
lature, but indicated he favored
quick start on the legislative investi-
cation into the affairs of the city of
New Orleans, authorized in the spe-
cial session.
Five Long men from the House have
been named to the Investigating Com
mittee, but four members of the Senate
are yet to be selected.

BATON ROUGE, La, August 25.-
Senator Huey P. Longs income tax
payments bounced into the limelight
today.
A P Tugwel. chairman of the
Louisiana Highway Commission, con-
firmed reports that he, with other
officials of the department had been
summoned to appear in New Orleans
Monday before the Federal grand
jury investigating the income tax re-
turns of Long and his political aSso-
ciates.
Tugwen said he would place the
Highway Department records on a
truck and convey them to New
Orleans for the grand jury. The rec
ords cover major road construction
while Senator Long was Governor,
1929 to 1892.
At that time Gov. o. K. Allen was
chairman of the Highway Commission
and Tugwell was commission auditor.
Senator Long last night praised
President Roosevelt for taking a stand
against Federal interference with the
"King1sh's" armed political conflict
with Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley of
New Orleans.
Roosevelt knows his business" COM
mented the "Kingflsh." He's no
damned fool. I'm that way about
the Federal Government. He's run
ming 1t and I haven't ever bothered
him in that"
