DELAY |NLONG
PROBE ASSA|LED
Mrs. Hammond, in Letter to
Garner, Says Senator
Has Blocked Inquiry.
BY the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated fress.
In a letter to Vice President Garner
yesterday, Mrs. Hilda Phelps Ham,
mond, head of the Women's Commit
tee of Louisiana. complained of delay
by the Senate in considering charges
against Senator Long, Democrat, Of
Louisiana.
Her letter charged that Senator
Long "for nearly 10 months has sue
ceeded, and apparently will continue
to succeed" in blocking the investiga-
tion of the charges against him.
This accused Senator" Mrs. Ham
mond said, "is welding such nefarious
influence in the Senate as to put that
body in the position Of not only pre-
venting the public exposure OF his
fraud and corruption but Of condoning
his fraud and corruption.
Refuse to Lance Abscess.
"Thus is presented to the American
public the farcical picture of the Sen
ate, on the one hand. very properly
investigating at this time the fraud,
corruption, or reprehensible conduct
charged by it against private citizens
of the United States and, on the other
hand, deliberately ignoring the fraud
and corruption which has been prac-
ticed by one of its own members"
Mrs. Hammond said the BrouSsard-
Overton Investigating Committee del
icately poulticed an abScess but re-
fused to lance 1t and open it up
reported a rotten situation in
Louisiana in which Mr.. Long was the
principal actor, and Mr.. Overton the
beneficiary.
THAT committee condemned the
fraud, but screened the senatorial
perpetrator and the senatorial bene-
ficiary of it."
With reference to charges against
Long himself, Mrs. Hammond said
the Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions last week refused to hear them
because of Longs objection to one Of
the lawyers for the Women's Commit
tee.
This was John Holland, former
chief investigator for the Broussard-
Overton committee, she told newspa-
per men.
Closed Hearings Planned.
On the day following she wrote the
chairman that I'VE do not believe
Mr.. Long has the right to choose his
own counsel and ours, too," and said
such a situation would make a trav-
esty Of the situation
She added that in response to her
demand for a public hearing, with
counsel not dictated by Long, she re-
ceived reply that closed hearings
would be held until the Senate de-
cided whether petitions against Long
were privileged
I'VE submit" the letter declared,
"that no counsel should be excluded
because Of the personal hos
tility or personal Judgment Of one
or more Senators" If such exclusion
were justified "for any offensive con-
duct to any member of the Senate"
1t cannot be made, she said, unless
he had been "cited, tried, found guilty
and punished by the Senate for con-
tempt of that body"
I'm concluding this memorial we
respectfully urge, as we believe 1t to
be our right and duty to urge, that
the charges preferred by us against
Senator Long and also against SEN
ator Oyerton be investigated forth
with and without further delay, fully,
fairly and in open hearings by the
committee to which they have been
referred"

Representative Louis T. McFsdden,
once ostrscized by the Republican
high command, apparently has been
taken back into the fold.
The Pennsylvania made a radio
address last night under the auspices
OF the Republican National Commit
tee. criticizing the new deal.
Don't spend your time worrying
over the alleged tyrannies of Hit
ler,'' he told his hearers. Look first
to your own case"
Rift Is Closed.
The fact that the speech was under
national party auspices apparently
closed the rift opened in 1882 when
McFadden moved to impeach Presi-
dent Hoover. He had been deprived
of patronage and lost his position on
the House Banking Committee, OF
which he was ranking Republican.
McFadden renewed his criticism OF
international bankers, urging the Ma
tion to watch the action Of Federal
Reserve officials on international
financial dealings
He advocated high tariffs, and pro-
teste dagainst taxation under the
Roosevelt administration.
Under the new deal, you pay taxes
you did not authorize, for purposes
you have not approved" he said
mot one single item of the huge
outlay of the present administration
was presented to you as an issue for
your approval when your vote was
solicited two years ago"
Cites Foreign Costs.
Advocating high tariffs, McFadden
said:
I'm recent years mass production
has sprung up in Japan, Czechoslo-
vakia and other countries where cheap
labor is used to produce merchandise
below normal costs of production"
He said I'VE should keep out low
priced goods by proper customs duties

our own workmen can flll."
