LONG BLOCKS
IT'S PASSAGE

Up Problem After Cong
ress Ends
SOLONS RESENTFUL
TOWARD HUEY LONG

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. (UP)
President Roosevelt today called a
conference of congressional lead
ers and Comptroller General John
McCarl at the White House at
$3.50 p. m. to consider means for
meeting the crisis resulting from
blocking the third deficiency bill,
due to Huey Longs filibuster.
1t was indicated at the White
House that the entire situation,
including ways and means for pro-
viding funds for the social secur-
ity program, the Guffey coal
board, and other items were
caught by the last minute adj
journment jam will be discussed.
Principal efforts will be devoted
to study of the $4,880,000, 900
work-relief appropriation in hope
that funds might be obtained from
that source.
Several leaders said they had
been assured by Comptroller Cen
eral McCarl that funds for vital
parts of the social security pro-
gram could be obtained from that
or another source and expressed
confidence that way out of these
difficulties can be found.
At McCarPs office it was said
that study of legal possibilities
for obtaining money was already
underway and that quick formal
report will be made to President.
Roosevelt. .
Resentment against Long for
his blockade of the vital appro-
priations was apparent among
leaders, some suggesting that the
president put the situation before
the, public by radio. ,-
Following this conference Presi-
dent Roosevelt will take up the
complicated cotton situation with
McCarl, AAA Administrator Da-
Wis, and treasury officials. They
will attempt to clarity finally the
status of loans to be made on
1885 cotton and financial details
of the new ten-cent loan plan and
the changed guarantee will be ex-
amined. President Roosevelt will
sign the new neutrality bill before
the conferences.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. (UP)
Congress adjourned at :09 a. m.
today angry and helpless against
a seven-hour filibuster by Huey
Long.
The house, after being in tech
nical recess during an evening OF
merrymaking, was reconvened at
1880 p. m. last night and await
ed final senate action before it
adjourned for the session.
Speaker Joseph W. Byrns had
said he would insist that the SEN
ate adjourn before the house took
similar action to end congress.
Alone and friendless, the King
fish addressed the senate from b
D. m. till the hands on the big
clock above Vice President John
N. Gamers head crawled upright
to midnight-the hour set for ad-
journment.
Overheard, because of Long,
went the third deficiency bill, car
rying 500, 100000 to pay pensions
to the aged, retirement pay to
railroad workers and money for
crippled children. Huey talked it
to death.
Overheard, too, went the very
thing Long said he was fighting
for-two amendments which the
senate put on the deficiency bill,
but which the house refused to
accept. One would have given the
farmers a 12-cent a pound loan
on cotton; the other would have
authorized the AAA to lend farm
ers 90 cents a bushel on wheat.
Long said he wanted the house
to vote on those amendments. The
house refused to do so.
So the Kingfsh-Kinghsh IN
deed, so far as congress was con-
