Washington today holding the key to
the Louisiana situation while hun
dreds of his National Guardsmen en-

angry anti-Long citizens secretly
planned their next move against his
dictatorship.
A formal demand upon the elected
State officials to "renounce the die
tatorship of United States Senator
Huey P. Long" was issued today from
headquarters of the Square Deal AS
Sociation of Louisiana.
Reports flew over the city last night
that Long planned to call a special
session of the Legislature to carry out
his bidding Thursday night. but high
officials Of the State administration
fatty denied the reports.
In Washington Senator Long said
that he was too sleepy" to discuss the
situation.
In Baton Rouge the executive man.

didn't care to say anything about 1t. y

Meanwhile, northward in the hilly
woods of the anti-Long Felicianas
Iberville and West Baton Rouge par
ishes and among the citizenry of Sec
tions of the Florida" parishes OF
Southeastern Louisiana in which SEN
timent hostile to Senator Long runs
rampant, movements of members OF
the Square Deal Association deter
mined to end "Kingfish dictatorship
were carefully screened.

citation, removed from Baton Rouge
Saturday, were located was not known
Neither was the place where Ernest j
Bourgeois, Square Deal president, met
his followers after he disappeared fol-
lowing clash of his forces with

Anti-Long citizens were reported to
have met in secret conclave to de-
termine future course of action.
There were approximately TOO Ma
tional Guardsmen and scores of State
police still mobilized in Baton Rouge,
to carry out the dictator's orders. The
military forces had an intelligent
unit" of State police to supply infor-
nation about the movements Of the
Square Dealers, but what they learned,
If anything, they kept to themselves.
Gov. Allen, when asked whether
martial law would be extended, was
non-commital.

Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau and Attorney General Cummings
were authoritatively represented today
as having virtually completed drafts
of suggestions for governmental action
in any eventuality that might result
from the Supreme Courts decision in
the gold cases.
A ranking departmental officer said
Government experts had made plans
to forestall or minimize any economic
disturbance that might arise from the
high courts ruling on Federal abroga-
tion Of gold payments on gold clause
contracts.
Should the court hold this action
invalid, broad series of moves would
be undertaken on the basis of recon-
mendations made.
Another point considered was the
possibility that the court might diff
ferentiate between private and public
contracts.
Lawyers have speculated on such a
decision. They also have considered
the question of reconciling present
regulations which declare the holding
Of gold unlawful. with the possibility
that the court might rule gold pay
ments legal.

,lition of the present civil service

Abolition of the present civil service
system of promoting metropolitan po-
lice officers and the substitution of a
merit plan was advocated today by
Representative Schultz, Democrat. Of
Indiana at the second days hearing
eating Committee.
Schultz declared he opposed the
present system because it is unfair.
particularly to the older men on the
force. The system. he said. also has
demoralized the force because it has
enabled younger officers to advance
ahead of the veterans. The system
likewise, Schultz explained, is not IA
vored by the officers themselves.
None Favor System.
II have talked with a number OF
the men," he declared. "and haven't
found one yet who favors the civil
service rating system" >"
Maj. Ernest w. Brown, superin-
tendent of police. who was on the wit
ness stand. agreed with Schultz that
the system is not the best of select
ing the best men.
As an illustration, Brown cited the
case of Lieut.. George M. Little, heac

Lieut.. Little" Brown said, ii:

officer to prevent crime. Yet he fel

couraged. but if 1 could pick a new
captain tomorrow, I would promott
him."
Quizzed About Box System.
Schultz also questioned Maj. Brown
about the police patrol box system anc
asked whether the officers were cheat
ing" by having their friends repor
them on duty.
Brown said such an arrangement i
possible and if the men are caught dis
ciplinary action is taken.
Brown also explained that som,
times when a sergeant and severa
men are detailed as a plant" tn,
sergeant reports in for the men.
When Brown resumed his testi
mony he reviewed his efforts to ge
141 additional men. He explained
in his original estimates for the l93t
fiscal year he recommended tina
number of additional men, but tn
Commissioners reduced it to IS, tn
number needed to fill existing va
cancies. The Budget Bureau approved
that increase, he said, but the Hous
Appropriations Subcommittee elimi
mated the recommendation.
The Washington Board of Trad
and every civic and business .organi
zation in the District, Brown told tn
committee. favors an increase il
police personnel.
Crime statistics were discussed il
detail by Brown, who showed that il
the last three years three of tn
murders in Washington had beel
committed by out-of-town gangsters
One occurred in 1882, another il
1888 and the third in 1884.
The increase in murders, Brow
pointed out, is due to some exten
to an increase in population.
Maj. Brown Quizzed.
Later the committee questioned Maj
Brown about the numbers racket, ant
he explained it is being promoted il
Washington by two or three indi'
viduals" whom he did not name fol

ESCABA READY TO DEFEND HIS
 BOXING TITLE
Little Puerto Rican Wins Convincing Bout From
 Lou Salica at Garden

New York, Nov. 16-(UPP)-Lit- tie Sixto Escobar, abbreviated brown bomber from Puerto Rico's sugar plantations, was ready today to defend the world bantamweight championship he wrested from Lou Salica of Brooklyn in their return grudge title fight last night.
 Escobar will seek a match with Balcazari Sanchilli of Spain, rec ognized as ll8-pound king by Euro pean boxing organizations. Mike Jacobs of the goth Century club will try to stage such a match in Miami or Havana in February.
 The 22-year-old Puerto Rican won the unanimous 15-round de- cision ct Madison Square Garden with ease last night, after flooring Salica for e count of nine in the third round, and staggering hin, several times in other rounds.
 SiXto made sure that there would be no question of his superiority over the Brooklyn 1talian-made certain that Lou would not take the decision as he did ct Dyckman oval on August 20, when most of the experts and fans thought Sixto had been done out of the title by c hometown verdict.
 The United PPress score sheet gave Escobar il of the IS rounds. Tic ninth, tenth and eleventh were given to salica, and the first was even.
 Tn most of the sessions, sixto left -jabbed his opponent silly and slowed him down with right smash- es to heart and kidney. Now and then the dusky dynamiter brought over e right hook to the chin that knocked Lou back on his heels.
 The crowd was unexpectedly small. Only e,077 fans paid to see this first ll8-pound title brawl ever staged in the house that Tex Rick ard built. The gate was Si8, ,460.4 .49. The crowd was larger ct their first engagement ct Dyckman oval.

Joe silent" Cas- tonguay and Jimmy 'Tiny" Officer were in all their glory staring for the winners. Captain Miller was the only member of his clan doing any real bowling.
 Barney dagain, Roland Fat Clark and Eddie Coughlin all rolled well over the 300 mark to enable the Qagain plumbers to down De- laney's earbenders in two games. These teams are now tied for the cellar position. Joe Delaney did the best work for his team. Joe got a lot of help from Charley Keeley, Alderman Ed Fitzgerald and Nault but 1t wasn't quite enough to swing victory to his side.
 Going downl Yes, the Cronin fish merchants are going down fast. They dropped two encounters to the McfIale clerks. The leaders have now lost five out of the last six games played. Barney Henry, Rich- ard st. John and George Bolan were the big trigger pullers for the McT1ale sharp shooters. Tommy 0unshanan and George Sloss tried hard for the merchants but Jim smith, Andrew Perrin and Paul Cronin were too much of Q load for these two young lads to carry.
