HUEY LONG WAS
MAD AND WANTED
TO HIT LAWYER
Would Take Him Outside
and Crack His Jaw
Said Senator

Washington, April 5-UP)-
Senator Huey P. Long, democrat,
Louisiana, offered today to 'tstep
outside" the Senate Finance Com
mittee room and smack" the jaw
Of Edward Rightor, attorney for
D. d. Moore, whose appointment
as internal revenue collector Long
is opposing.
Long threatened Rightor Just be-
fore Colonel e. r. Bradley, IA
nous Kentucky sportsman, testified
he contributed $1,000 to Longs
campaign for governor of LOUISE
ana in 1928.
The "Kingfish" became incensed
when Rightor referred to a New
Orleans race track as your track.
That's an infamous falsehood,"
Long shouted angrily, jumping to
his feet. II have never been in
side a race track in my life."
Rightor. a smaller man than the
senator, bristled with anger and
rose to say:
Challenge Is Hurled
"Your statement that that was
AN infamous falsehood' Is ridicu-
lous, and you wouldn't say 1t ii
there weren't half dozen police
men around here"
Long moved a step nearer the
attorney and shook his fist, declar-
ing:
"We'll Just step outside and I'll
smack your jaw"
Leaning forward across the wit
ness table, Rightor replied: you
wouldn't do a thing to me. old
man."
Chairman Pat Harrison, d. Miss,
succeeded in maintaining order be-
fore any blows were struck.
1t was the second day of a hear
ing on the fitness of Moore for
the internal revenue post.

it now goes.
Besides guaranteeing the prin-

WAGE cuts NOT
LIKED in PARIS
Government is Trying to
Adopt Economy Policy
to Save Nation

Paris, April 5.-(UP) Econ
omies approved by the government
must be accepted, or the country
faces two alternatives-close to the
public treasury or imitation, the
cabinet warned the country today.
The warning came in a state
ment designed as counter move
to vigorous opposition of the high
ly organized. politically potent
civil servants who are struck in
DEGREES approved by the cabinet
yesterday, providing for economies
of 2.760,000,000 francs ($182,0O0,-
000).
The. first manifestation growing
out of the wage cuts occurred
when several hundred telephone
workers at the Grenelle main ex-
change began shouting down with
Tardieu." They urged a strike
against the government. A police
riot squad dispersed them.
Economies include wage cuts of
from to 10 per cent, reduced
pensions and gradual elimination
of $4,000 civil servants.
Either the government economy
program must be adopted, or
France must close her public treas
uries or resort to imitation" said
the statement. Either course
would affect civil servants first.
Replying to civil servants threats
to join communists in May day
manifestations against the govern
ment, the statement said:
Successive budget deficits have
compromised the public finances
and necessitateds strict economies.
1.-THE nation defense budgets have
been cut 2,000,000,000 francs
($132,080,0 00) in two years. Taxes
have been increased 100000
900 francs ($264,160,000). Labor
has been hard hit by unemploy-
ment. Farmers are unable to dis
pose of their crops. The civil serv-
ants must share the burden"
