LIGHTED A|RWAY
FUND AVAILABLE.
Project From Capital to
Nashville Made Possible
by P. w. A. Grant.

A lighted airway from Washington
to Nashville. Tenn, was made pos
sible when Public Works Admins
traitor Ickes late yesterday made
$465. 900 available to the Commerce
Department for that purpose.
A feature of the project will be the
placing of IL small radio stations

point communication for planes and
to furnish weather information. The
stations will be installed near Gull
peper, Warren, Lynchburg, Roanoke,
Pulaski and Marion, all in Virginia,
and Bristol. Morristown, Knoxville,
Hartman and Sparta. in Tennessee.
"In addition to providing full air.
mail service. the airway will open a
direct route from Washington to the
Southwest" a statement from p. w.
A. explained. At present, contract air.
mail planes are using the route. but
are unable to fly at night and cannot
carry passengers because of the lack
of proper facilities, the statement
pointed out
The lighted airway will cover $50
miles and will require 10 months to
complete. Landing fields and beacons
will be established in accordance with
standard policy.

proved to have been falsely sounded
by short circuit.
Firemen John Dillon, 40. married
and the father of two children, and
Robert McAnertie, %, were dead when
they reached the hospital.
Joseph Norman. 20, was in a crit
ical condition in st. Johns Hospital.
The lower part of his abdomen had
been torn away and nine of his fellow
firemen volunteered to give him their
blood in a TRANSMISSION.
Also in the hospital were Charles
Usher, %, operator OF the fire truck;
Leo Sandy, %: Charles Joyce, %;
Felix Wilen and Walter Pouiliot, 81.
George Cullinan. 80, was treated and
released.
Lowell fire and protective companies
were called out to bring apparatus to
raise the heavy truck. The top of an
ambulance which responded was torn
when 1t became enmeshed in the tele-
graph wires carrying 1900 volts, which
the falling pole brought down, but no
damage resulted from the electricity.

MILITIA STUDYING
COMBAT TACTICS
Red Troops Forced Back to
High Ground Around
HagerStoWn.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


CAMP ALBERT C. RITCHIE, Cas-
cade, Md, August 1.-THE 29th Divl-
sion staff continued studying the tacti-
cal combat problem in the field today,
with the division command post near
Ringgold, Md.
Red troops have been forced back to
the high ground between Ringgold
and Hagerstown and have entrenched
with machine-gun placements over
looking the low terrain between the
two lines.
Yesterday the staff and their enlist
ed assistants set up Offices in the
fields near Midvale, with heavy rains
drenching clothing and equipment.
They remained at this point until 8
pm. when the problem called for the
command post to be moved forward
after the retreating enemy. Equip
ment was packed and carried about
three miles nearer Leitersburg, where
war games we're continued.
The 12lst engineers, commanded by
Col John w. Oehmann, remained in
camp yesterday because of the in
clement weather. Today the battalion
marched into the area of operations,
taking part in the command post
exercise. Maj. Ralph Childs, 1st Bat
talon, and Mai. Clarence S. Shields,
I'd Battalion, were in charge of the
troops.
No actual construction was done,
but sites for bridges, bad roads. etc,
were studied and solutions as to the
way in which they should be repaired
were prepared.

'0PEN-H0USE' FETE

Heavy Rain Cuts Down Attend
ance at Camp Good Will
Program.

The drenching downpour which fell
yesterday afternoon and last night
rained out the open house" program
which was to have been staged at
Camp Good Will in Rock Creek Park
for Community Chest subscribers and
the Washington public.
The event was scheduled as the sec
ond of series of open house" affairs
to acquaint Washingtonians with
rhat is being accomplished by Chest
agencies. The first, held July at St.
Joseph's Home and School, drew an
attendance of more than 700.
Although a large canopy had been
provided at Camp Good Will for the
convenience of spectators, the heavy
rains cut down attendance to a min
imum. The camp will close its season
Tuesday, due to curtailed funds. More
than l60 children and a score OF
mothers from less favored sections OF
the city have been accommodated at
the camp for Today periods.
Another open house" will be held
in the near future, this time at an
agency which can provide larger IA
cilities in case of rainy weather.

BATON ROUGE, La, August IT,
Huey Longs Legislature, meeting in
Huey Longs 33-story State Capitol
act the legislation which will estab-
lish a military dictatorship in the
State Of Louisiana. The boys in his
House of Representatives shove his
program right along as Huey, him
self, swaggers through the small
crowd of spectators who are held
back from the floor of the chamber
by an ornamental bronze rail. Huey
has been expelled from the actual
legislative inclosure by a coup of the
small opposition who are fighting a
rear-guard action in defeatist mood
They invoke a trick rule whereby
unauthorized persons may be eX-
cluded by vote of 10 members. But
Huey continues his lobbying from
behind the rail. He shoots the cuffs
of his rumpled linen suit, tugs at his
waving plume of red hair, squeegees
the sweat off his face with his fore
finger and snaps it away.
Comfortable in Governors Office.
Huey leans over the rail to beckon
and talk to his boys at their seats
on the floor. He drifts in and out
of the Governors private Office, which
is nominally that Of o. K. Allen. He
does as Huey says and if Huey tells
him to keep quiet he keeps quiet.
Huey drops into the Governors chair
to rest his feet, which have been sup
porting his weight for some hours On
a marble floor. He throws leg over
the chair arm and snaps switch
button. This turns on loud-speaker
concealed on the panelled wood wall
of the Governors Office and brings
the debate to him. A vote is called
and Huey snaps on another button.
The members at their desks record
their votes by pressing buttons which
illuminate little red or green bulbs
on a scoreboard behind the speaker S
desk. 1t resembles the modern ball
yard scoreboard on which the kid in
the press coop rings up the balls and
strikes by tapping the figures on a
keyboard.
There is duplicate electrical board
in the Governors Office. Huey hops
up from the Governors chair to count
the lights, green for aye and red for
nay. The greens have it by fat ma
jority.
The boys have rushed through nine
bills in a short time which make him
commander of secret police force of
unlimited numbers place the State
militia at his command for any pur-
pose, even to the seizure of local gov
ernments and authorize him to hire
unlimited numbers of special deputies
at SIS a day to police elections. In
New Orleans. for example, he may
hire $4,000 special deputies to regulate
an election.
Assets in Election.
The $4,000 deputies, of course, would
be voters themselves and their vote
would swing any election for Huey.
Wherever there is a situation which
has the appearance of contest after
this, Huey may buy the election at IS
per vote and charge the cost to the
taxpayers of that particular commu-
nifty.
Huey'S secret police force will closely
resemble Gerardo Machado's Porra in
Cuba or the G. P. u in Soviet Russia.
No man will know whether the next
man was his friend or his enemy. The
force will belong to the present State
Bureau of Criminal Identification and
Investigation.

GRUEN|NG TAKES
OVER NEW DUTIES.

Director OF Division
of Territories.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Ernest Gruening, critic of the Latin
American policy of previous admins
trations and authority on Caribbean
matters, was sworn in yesterday as
director of the newly created Division
of Territories and Island Possessions,
which has supervision over Alaska,
Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin

his new duties Immediately.
Policies of the new division, which
was set up July % by an executive
order, remain to be determined.
The Philippines do not come under
the set-up because they are slated for
independence within a few years.
Other smaller island possessions and
the Panama Canal Zone are governed

director of the La Toilette presidential
campaign in 1924.

leo and Its Heritage" which the In
terror Department said was generally

on modern Mexico. He later estab-
lished a paper in Portland, Me.
The Interior Department said
Gruening was instrumental in expos
ing for the first time events sur
rounding the United States occupa-
ton Of Haiti and Santo Domingo

paign issue in the presidential cam
paign of that year, and led to a sem
atorial inquiry"

LONG, VICTORIOUS,
TO PRESS 'MOP-UP
Senator, in Control of Legis-
Iature, Will Seek I'm
peaChmentS.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BATON ROUGE, La, August H.
Senator Huey P Long was ready to-
day to push through the Legislature
his "Kingfish" program for investiga-
ton of New Orleans and reputed i'm
peachment of its authorities.
All signs pointed to a sweeping in
vestigation of the administration of
Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley in New
Orleans and there was widespread
rumor that a petition was in prospect
calling for the impeachment of two
judges of the New Orleans Civil Dis
trict Court in Longs 'mopping-up"
process against the city rule.
Longs personally-supervised House
bills we're ready to skip through the
Senate where he and the administra-
ton of Gov. o. K. Allen. his chief Of
staff, held a safe majority.
Given Free Hand.
As passed in the House over roar
ing objections of a weak minority,
this program gives the Governor a
free hand with the State Militia
beyond court interference, added
strength in election machinery and
State police force of personnel suf-
hcient to enforce law anywhere in the
State.
Long claimed that this legislation
would insure honest elections" and
furnish a weapon to break the "vice
ring" in New Orleans, but the mi
nority leaders from country parishes
declared that the Senator was seeking
to wrest the election machinery and
thereby perpetuate himself in office.
Mayor Walmsley said that he would
welcome any investigation into the
affairs of New Orleans, and today the
speaker of the House and the presi-
dent of the Senate were only waiting
passage of the investigation resolution
by the Senate to appoint a joint COM
mittee to conduct the investigation.
Asked about the reported impeach-
fnent petition, Senator Long refused to
discuss it other than to say lit is not
in circulation at this time"
Arrests Are Made.
Joe Messina, personal attendant to
Senator Long and a member of the
State highway police, today arrested
F. Edward Herbert, special writer for
the New Orleans States, and Leon
Trice, newspaper photographer, for
contempt of the Senate Finance Com
mittee.
Mayor Walmsley also made arrests.
Two Guardsmen on leave from the
city registration Office were arrested
last night at "5-centS-a-dance" hall
and charged with being drunk and
disturbing the peace. They were or
dered to appear in Recorders Court
tonight for trial.
Tension Prevails.
The capital city was charged with
tension after near riot in the House
over the attempts of Representative
George Lester of West Feliciana Par
ish to remove Long and his hence
men" entirely from the House cham
ber by invoking completely the rule
against lobbying.
Previously sent off of the floor, Long
was talking to members of the House
from the rear over the guard rail. He
eagerly watched each movement as
administration leaders and opponents
rushed down front with shouting and
fist clutching until Representative
Lester, a leader of the anti-Long mi
nority, modified his motion on the
grounds that if he invoked it the Long
men would also order the press out
Of the chamber.

The impression has grown on the

some Is miles north of Sarnia.

the following statement concerning
Lablatts kidnapping:
He was blindfolded and had been
continuously blindfolded since the
time he was taken. He was left in
the vicinity Of Forest Hill Village.
from where he took a taxi to the
Royal York Hotel (where Hugh
awaited him).
He was Immediately carried from
there, by his own friends, in a car to
London.
AT the time of his release he drove
between five and six hours. he thinks,
but his judgment is that of a man
blindfolded.
He also thinks the kidnapers we're
killing time in the latter drive in
waiting for darkness.
AT the time of his capture, he
drove around for a time which he
estimates at - hours. He was in
Ontario all the time. He has no
knowledge of having passed over any
water.
For some reason, those who took
charge of him failed to notify either
Toronto or provincial police.
Regrets Lack of Cooperation.
His arrival resulted in a lack of
cooperation between the authorities
and his friends. There is no hot trail
OF the abductors. 1t is most unfor-
tunate and necessary that the police
forces Of both the province and the
city have been very seriously handi-
capped in their work by their inabil-
ity to secure complete control of the
situation
Mr.. Labatt arrived at London at
3:45 am. today. In this Office there
Is no knowledge as to what financial
arrangements, if any, have been made
between the friends of the captured
man and the criminals. Whatever
arrangement was made did not come
either from Hugh Labatt or his So
Ncitor, Mr. Ivey.
We are now clearly certain that
the contact made in Toronto was a
genuine one. I might add that Mr.
Labatt's eyes were closed with ad-
hesives and glasses drawn over the
adhesive tape. When let out of the
car, he was told not to remove either
the tape or the glasses until the auto
had moved on"
