Huey P. Long, who just then was getting set for gubernatorial triumph.
 Weiss set aside a fine suite and invited Long to occupy it. No charge; this was merely a hotel promotion stunt.
 But the two men soon became fast friends, and Weiss was em- boldened 70 try his hand at polish ing up Huey-in-the-rough. Coin- cidence aided him, for they were exactly the same size, and Long could, and frequently did, wear Weiss clothes.
 He stripped Huey of of his yellow shoes, hand-me-down suits, vulgar yellow diamond stud, and atrocious striped and monogramed silk shirts. Those shirts dandified many porter and ash collector for years afterward.
 Weiss knows how to dress, though he is no flop. He went to q tailor and ordered 60 suits. He hired valet and installed him in Long's suite.
 Long frequently dashed away from New Orleans on some mis- sion with only the clothes on his back. Weiss always had trunk packed and dispatched on the next train or plane.

Social Progress Slow

Smart, suave, affable, and given to observations of an abiding, pal sy-walsy love for all his fellow be- ings, Weiss naturally is socially ambitious. For one reason and another he generally has been thwarted in that longing, although he is a great joiner of business clubs and is an honorary member of tho Disabled World War Veter- ans Association.
 But he was able to accomplish much in the social advancement of Huey Long. At least, in his big hotel, he brought Huey to the at- tention of many prominent and in- fluential people.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-09-18
He Idolized Huex

Weiss idolized Long, considered him a truly great statesman, but actually loved him as a man. Huey repaid him with a sort of negative tolerance.
 Weiss, for example, was the only aide he never cussed out"
 Just look what did for Weiss" said Long to men he was trying to lure into the fold.
 But no one recalls that Weiss ever gloated: Just look what did sor Huey!"
 First as a member, then as pres- ident, of the dock board, Weiss held considerable power. Employees averaged 4500 in number during normal times, and as many as 12,- 900 preceding elections.
 It is generally admitted that these men, along with most other workers in Long controlled jobs, contributed 10 per cent of their wages as fuel for the machine.
 Another item: Long made Weiss vice president of an indemnity company through which all state employees and contractors had to be bonded. The company failed to the tune of $39.000,000. Defied Senate Quizzers
 Weiss handled a lot of money paign slush funds, but some of Huey's private finances. Many 8 tradesman learned to send Long bills to Weiss for collection.
 When the Senate sent a special investigating committee to New Orleans to look into fraud charges of che Louisiana senatorial pri- mary of 1882, Weiss went through some narrowing sessions before the inqnisitors.
 Long, acting as counsel for Sem ator John H. Overton, sat through the hearings with perfect confi- dence that his friend wouldn't squeal.
 And Weiss didn't. He said he had kept no records of the funds he handled. He didn't put them in bank.
 "Why not?" asked a questioneB.
 ''None of your business" replied Weiss stoutly.
 And that stubborn none of your business" and T refuse to arswers comprised a large part of his testi- mony. He risked jail and citation for contempt.
 But Seymour betrayed none of Huey's secrets. Partly as . result of those tactics, Weiss now Is un- der indictment for income tax eva. sion.

SOLOIST HERE
Symphony Concert Draws
Bigger Crowd Thurs
day Night

A material increase in the size
of the audience was noted Thurs
day night at the third of the Sc
ries of performances or the North
Carolina Symphony orchestra for
the season here.
Opening with the Dance des
Bouffons, Rimsky-Korsakov, the
orchestra swung into the Tschai-
kowsky Symphony in B minor for
its second offering, and this col
losal work of the Russian was
greatly enjoyed.
William Zimmerman, piano So
loist in the rendering of Gersh-
wins Rhapsody in Blue was given
an ovation on his appearance and
the work was roundly applauded
at its conclusion, Mr.. Zimmerman
handling the solo part with all the
dizziness of a virtuoso.
Lamar Springfield directed the
performance and his own compo-
sition, A Negro Parade, opening
the second half of the program
was a welcome offering. The color
and rhythm of this work stand out
in first performance, but one re-
quires a rehearing to appreciate
the continual dissonance which
characterizes and is a most etfec-
tive element in this work.
LISTS Second rhapsody was the
closing number of the formal pro
gram and this, too, was roundly
applauded. An Indian war dance
was the concluding encore selec-
ton.
