It is an unwritten law of the
game that q football coach is
king in his own dressing room,
and no coach worth his salt
would have permitted the Sen
ator to address the players OF
his team unless he thought it
wise. Apparently Captain Jones
did not think it wise. That
should have settled that. That
did settle it.
Captain Jones, a West
Pointer, a thorough gentleman
and an officer of the United
States Army, retained com.
mand of the situation, as even
Senator Long might have
known he would.
Then, having caught his
Kingfish, Jones went fishing,
leaving Huey to do the after.
the-battle talking. It's remark
able how many of these af'
fairs the Senator wins before
they start and after they are
over.
Once before, when Senator
Longs football activities at L.
S. U. were discussed in this
space, one of the parishioners
wrote in to point out that 1
had written a silly column. He
was right. But I must insist
that at my worst, I have never
made myself look sillier with
this typewriter than the Sena-
tor from Louisiana has made
himself look with his mega
phone this fall.
Not Soapbox
College football is not a soap
box or a political rostrum, and
all those who are fond of the
game must resent the efforts of
any outsider, anywhere, to turn
the publicity that accrues to
the game to his personal ad-
vantage.
It is particularly unfortunate
for such a fine coach and such
a grand fellow personally as
Captain Jones that this should
have happened at time when
he was doing successful job
at Louisiana State. Biff was
putting the university on the
football map before the Senator
hit on the unhappy idea that
he should help him with the job.
Huey cannot even be ex-
cused on the ground that he
was an enthusiastic old grad.
Much can be, much is, excused
enthusiastic old grads. But the
Senator's university is Tulane.
That the Tulane-L. S. U. game
which the latter lost, found
the Kingfish roofing himself
hoarse against his real alma
mater seems to me some sort
Of tip-off in itself.
But the chances are that we
are making the problem sound
more serious than it really is.
A few more Tulane and
Tennessee games will do more
to dampen Senator Longs
gridiron enthusiasm than all
the sports columns in the
world laid end to end. Indeed,
the sports columns might very
we'll have just the opposite
effect.

BY BILL CORUM

NEW YORK, Dec. 19-Sena-
tor Huey P. Long has succeeded
in Kidding Louisiana State Uni
versity of Capt. Lawrence CBiff)
Jones as head football coach,
and congratulations are in order.
Congratulations to Captain
Jones.
Senator Long is now quoted
as saying that there is going to
be q big improvement in certain
departments of L. S. U. Nong'S
Shouting University and that
he wants a coach who will lose
no games and tie none.
That's fine. So does Notre
Dame. So does Pittsburgh. So
do they all. The next question
Is where to find such a coach,
and especially where to find him
for $500 a year. But that's
the Senator's problem.
Knowing nothing on earth
about football except that he
has made it a good springboard
for thousands and thousands of
words of personal ballyhoo this
fall, the Senator probably hasn't
even a vague glimmering that
he has let the best coach that
L. S. U. ever had, or probably
ever will have, get away.
But that realization will come
in due time. And due time is
likely to be after the first two
or three games of next seasons
schedule. Whatever else the
Senator is, he can't be dumb,
and what surprise he is going
to get when he discovers how
few Biff Joneses there are
roaming the football wilds!
No Quarrel
This column has no quarrel
with Senator Long and isn't
looking for one. It may be,
as they say, that he is greatly
misunderstood man. My per-
Sonal impression, cleaned from
reading the papers, is that the
Senator thinks he is looking at
the most important page in
Who's Who every time he peeks
into his mirror. Many a sue
cessful man has had a similar
feeling.
will, however, say that it
was fortunate for Senator Long
that it was Captain Jones who
was coaching at L. S. U. when
Long went butting into the
dressing room between the
halves of the Oregon game,
and not Biff's successor at
West Point, Major Ralph Sasse.
The stories from Baton Rouge
indicate that Biff not only
pointed out the dressing room
door to Huey, but politely led
him to it. Biff is a mild. re-
strained and forebearing man.
Major Sasse, the old iron major
of the tanks, is not.
In similar circumstance the
major not only would have led
the Senator to the door, he
would have made exceedingly
sure that he got through it,
Also any of the Senator's per-
petual body guards that he
chanced to have with him.

eventual encouragement of consumption
by high taxes and restricted sales saw
that it was first necessary to wipe out
the illegal liquor business by making
legal liquor cheap and easily obtainable.
Unfortunately, this excellent strategy
was pursued very imperfectly. Hard
pressed governmental units were unable
to resist the opportunity to improve
their finances at the expense of the legal
liquor consumer. Congress started the
bad example by diSregarding President
Roosevelt's proposal for low gallonage
tax to be collected by the Federal Gov
ernment with provision for the refund
ing of a portion of this revenue to
States that did not impose gallonage
taxes. While not high, the Federal
taxes were made somewhat higher than
the administration desired, and no in
ducement was offered to States and
municipalities to keep their own levies
at minimum.
Evening star., 1934-08-12

On the other hand, the supply Of good
legal liquor was limited. A high duty
and, for a time, quota system were
barriers to imports. Lured by the oppor-
tunity to make excessive profits quickly.
a large number of distilleries flooded the
market with miserable but legal liquor
that could not compete with bootleg stun
in quality. In the dry States pre-repeal
conditions were changed very little.
There is no way OF knowing accurately
how much illegal liquor is being con-
sumed today, any more than there was
any way of knowing how much was con-
sumed under prohibition. But officials
in the Federal Alcohol Control Admins
tration and the Treasury guess that in
the eight months since repeal more
than SO per cent of the hard liquor used
in. this country was of illegal manu-
facture. Incidentally, they also believe
that almost no illegally manufactured
beer and very little illegal wine were sold.
As a starting point in estimating
what consumption of liquors should be,
Federal officials took figures for the
years Immediately prior to prohibition.
On that basis they corservatively esti-
mated that during the first seven months
after repeal there would be consump-
tion of about 8O,0OO,0O0 gallons. Now, all
that the Treasury collected taxes on

little more than an intelligent guess
that at least half the distilled spirits
now being consumed in the United
States is of illegal origin.
This condition was not entirely un-
foreseen at the time of passage of the
twenty-hrSt amendment The illegal
liquor business was intrenched. 1t had
great financial resources and equipment,
a vast and experienced personnel, well
established channels of trade, from the
sources of its raw materials to the ulti-.

in the lower levels of politics. 1t knew
how to produce paSsable liquor at a
low price.

All of this, eight months after the
repeal of the eighteenth amendment, is
strongly reminiscent of the repeated
enforcement campaigns of the era of
national prohibition. There is reason
for it. Thousands of Illicit stills, from
large commercial distilleries to more
numerous small stills of the old moon

the country. A new rum row has
