scared BY this show Of armed
force"
Why the troops were so hastily
summoned into this city in the
largest military concentration in
Louisiana since the World War
remained an official mystery.
Gov. oscar Allen, on whose au-
thority alone the troops could
be mustered, refused to comment
on or explain his action on the
eve of the September II congress
Sional primary.
Long States Purpose
But it remained for Senator
Long, whose dictatorial power
over the destinies of this State
became supreme at noon today,
as usual to speak unofficially for
the governor. He issued the fol-
lowing statement:
''The legislative committee
and its witnesses are not going
to be further mOleSted, the open
vice dens are going to close and
New Orleans is going to have a
peaceful election. That is all l
know about anything.
1--WE have proposed and we
still propose to have neither pO-
lice nor militiamen, or anybody
else like them, at the polls on
election day.
1--WE want nobody armed at
the polls on election day. We
repeat, we are only asking to
have nobody armed at the polls.
Our people in New Orleans have
demanded that they be given
that kind Of protection.
"The ring thinks it can only
win an election by stealing. This
time it will not be allowed to do
that.
BUSY, BUT WARY
"They might as well agree to
. peaceful election, anyway, be-
cause this time they cannot
help themselves.
"We still propose no one
armed at the polls on election
day."
Senator Long, yesterday, in a
withering attack on the city
administration, over the radio in
the star chamber session Of
the legislative probe committee,
charged the committees witnesses
were being intimidated by police,
arrested on trumped-up charges
and deprived of their rights of
freedom under bond.
Caught between the two hostile,
armed forces, this fun-loving city
with it's gaiety dampened by the
shutdown of gambling houses and
other resorts, went about its
regular business, but warily.

New Laws Effective Today
At noon today the % measures
on which the special session of
the legislature, summoned at
Senator Longs command, gave
swift approval, setting him up as
the States dictator, become law.
One of the statutes gives the
governor unlimited power over
the militia. He can summon them
at his pleasure for any purpose
and civil courts are forbidden to
interfere.
It was understood the troops
will be placed at the disposal Of

 Fifteen minutes after the start the two contenders were racing al- most at a dead heat as they point ed for the outer mark at BLOCK Island, 15 miles away.
 At 12:06 P. M., the British boat was slightly ahead, the first break in the almost even racing or tnS two big sloops. Vanderbilt trieo to jockey Rainbow between the challenger and the breeze, but sop with held him off.
 The boats were sliding along on a breeze of about four or rive knots. Endeavour's big Annie Ookley'' spinnaker was drawing beautifully now, Tn sharp contrast fo its performance Saturday when the lower canvas dragged in the water.
 The challenger appeared to be drawing steadily ahead of Rain bow as the boats moved gracefuily along on the wind.

 So far his maneuvers were un- successful, as Sopwith consistently matched every jockeying turn the defender attempted.
 The breeze shifted to the east ward as they moved toward the outer mark, holding to about four knots. The light weather, expected to be an advantage to Rainbow. was proving quite as much En- deavour's wind.
 The sea was smooth. rolling in long, glassy sweIis and the big sIoops were dripping only slightly
 At 12:20 p. m. Endeavour had a lead of eight or ten lengths over the defender.
 At 12:30 p. m. Rainbow appear ed to be holding her own at the same distance behind-about ten Ieugths--as the boats covered near- ly a quarter of the distance.
 Endeavour's big Annie Oakley was of much greater sail area than vanderbilt's Mae West spinnaker, and was drawing beautifully.
 At 12:40 the Britisher had a lead of 750 yards and was true on her course for the mark while Vanderbilt had pushed Rainbow

500 yards to the southward. The breeze was running from almost due east at four knots.
 Rainbow had doused her spin maker and set the genoa in her excursion off the course as she sought to beat down the wind. The shift in wind was converting the race to leeward from a run to a reach, and Vanderbilt apparently was moving off his course in an effort to pick up an outer wind and get a stronger run for the mark.
 At 12:55 p. m. Endeavour had covered more than half the dis tance to the outer mark and two minutes later she doused her spin- maker. The big kit trailer in the water for a short while, but Sop- with's crew got control of 1t quick ly.

 The United States ranks third among the naval powers of the world. Third, despite the fact that we have a greater national wealth than any other country; third, despite the fact that we have more far flung boundaries and re- sources, more trade and commerce. to protect than any other nation on earth.
 \, The Americanism program of the VIEW. favors a national pre- paredness that will increase the strength of our armed forces to a degree of equality with the armed forces of any other country in the world. We advocate and demand a measure of military strength that will stand as guar antee of safety and peace for those who are entitled to the beneflts of American citizenship.
 There are hundreds of thou sands of small white crosses in the cemeteries of this and other countries today which bear mute and tragic testimony to the unde- niable fact that only by training, only by preparedness only by preparedness, only by building up a. national defense which will im- press and warn the ambitious and covetous nations of the world. can the United States of America avert another World War within the next generation - if not before. Thousands of American boys gave their lives in France because they were thrust into battle untrained. It is that memory which makes the advocacy of 8 large army, navy and marine corps one of the firm principles of the VIEW. today.
