CAR ACT MAY
Be BOOMERANG
TO KING HUEY'
Dictatorship Laws Likely to
Wind Up in Trouble,
Louisiana Finds.
PWA HOLDS UP GRANT
Chain Store Company to
Withdraw From Field,
Officers Reveal.
By United Press

By United Press
NEW ORLEANS, La. Nov. IT,
First repercuSsions of Senator Huey
P. Longs dictatorship struck New
Orleans today.
The federal government stated it
was temporarily withholding funds
for municipal project and a chain
store company announced its all but
complete withdrawal from the local
field.
This city, whose municipal gov
eminent was stripped of practically
all power by the Long controlled
legislature, was quiet-"saying little,
thinking much"-aS one prominent
citizen said
The newspapers, all bitterly OPP
posed to the Long regime, had little
comment. Why comment-why
shout into a cistern?" was the pri-
vate comment of one sub-editor
Opposition Is Stifled
The attitude of the old regular
Democratic machine, in control of
the machinery of local government
which now has little to govern, was
one of Encouragement. Apparently,
the KingfSh had this opposition
Stif1ed.
The Schultz Cigar Store Corpora
ton announced that because of high
chain store taxes passed by the Long
| legislature, it was closing three of
it's four local stores immediately and
was keeping the fourth open only
temporarily" A store in Baton
Rouge also will remain open for the
time being.
The New Orleans sewerage and
water board, whose control was
taken over by the state government
under another legislative act, was
informed by the federal public
works administration that $780,
900 loan and a 100000 grant for
remodeling work had been held up
indefinitely" The adminiStra-
tons telegram said officials would
study the change in control before
acting.
Kingfish Is Elated
The federal government has dis
played marked antipathy for the
Long political machine. Federal ap-
pointive offices in the state have
been filed with anti-Long Demo
Gratis.
The laws finally approved by
Longs legislature yesterday do not
become effective for twenty days
Meanwhile, some of the states lead
ing attorneys will scrutinize them
on constitutional grounds and it
was believed probable that some, OF
all, would be challenged in the
courts.
The Kingflsh himself remained in
Baton Rouge, exulting in his tri-
| umph. The forty-four laws passed
yesterday concentrated control OF
all police and fire departments with
the state government, stripped the
New Orleans municipal government
of control of three other agencies
where old regular Democrats nov
employed will be replaced by Long
Democrats. Many of these employees
were planning to get right with
Huey' so they could keep their jobs
