ASSASSINATION

Follows Descent on State
Capital by Armed Group
Friday Night
30 SQUARE DEALERS
MARKED FOR ARREST

BATON ROGUE, La, Jan. &c.
(UP).-An order invoking gen
eral martial law was issued to-
day for East Baton Rouge parish
by Governor o. X. Allen in
Louisiana's threatened armed re-
volt against Senator Huey Longs
statewide dictatorship.
The order came after a night
and morning of unprecedented
developments which were brought
to a head by action on the part
of the Square Deaelrs'" organ
ization in ejecting Long follow
ers from office by an armed
force last night.
The fiery Kingfish, incensed
over such a threat against his
autocratic powers, ordered out
national guardsmen who moved
into the capital at dawn, taking
charge of affairs.
More than 8 leaders of the
Square Dealers" who were con-
spicuous by their absence this
morning were reported marked
for arrest on charges of an al
legged plot to assassinate Long.
The hearing began at IL o'clock
this morning and Judge j. d.
Womack, appointed to the state
supreme court by Governor Al
len presided.
Long staggered into the court,
but no arrests had been made.
Long told the Judge. "We intend
to prove a conspiracy participat-
ed in by four sheriffs, one dis
trict attorney and probably dis
trict judge, was Matched at mid
night gatherings. These persons
obtaining bombs plotted to block
my car and kill whoever was
with me-"
General Louis Guerre was
brought into court, guns and
bombs, Long said were found in
the raid.

Initiation of hearings on the adj
ministration's economic security
program.
Discussion of the world court
issue until it is now ready for
vote early next week.
Examination of the security
program continued with Secretary
of Labor Frances Perkins before
the senate finance committee, and
with wealthy Sen. James Couzens,
R.. Mich, attacking the plan for
taxing employees. Couzens said
MIRA code wages are Outrageous
" low" and should not be taxed
for unemployment insurance.
Miss Perkins explained that
states had three choices in raising
unemployment funds: a tax on
employers only; a tax on employ
ers and workers; "a tax on both
with state contribution added.
Couzens held that if employers
were taxed alone they would pass
it on to consumers anyway, and
labor, as a consumer, would pay
it's part.

GAMING
HOUSES BEGIN
CLOSING down
Industry Operated on Ex-
travagant Scale May Halt
After Murder There

MIAMI. Fla. Jan. 26. CuP).-
The roulette wheel and the dice
held the fate of Miami's gay
night life today.
Night clubs and fashionable
supper clubs, which largely 1ur-
nish the background of this trop-
zeal resort center, will begin
closing next week unless gamb-
ling is allowed, the United Press
learned. :,
Gambling machinery, operated
on an extravaganza scale here for
wears, will not be permitted to
operate within the next few days
and leading political figures be,
lieve the roulette wheels VIII
gather dust all season.
Broadway began moving to
Miami in December. anticipating
the greatest winter season in his
tory. Night clubs clamored for
expensive floor shows and high
priced entertainers.
But o gambler named Skeets
Downs was murdered, repeatedly
by Chicago syndicate attempt
ING to cut in on Miami gambling
profits, and outraged citizens de-
manded an investigation.
The grand jury was called into
session to "ciean up crime"
criminals were arrested and
gambling houses, on the verge of
opening, were threatened with
raids.
Night club operators interpret
ed the order as temporary and
went forward with fabulous
plans, but still there is no sign
of the green light.
Costs of entertainment run as
high as $4,000 weekly in at least
five night clubs and casinos.
Revenue from the bars and dim
ing rooms will not absorb the
heavy overhead.
One club, featuring a Broad
way and Hollywood idol, will
close tonight. The club, possibly
Miami's most exclusive, has been
taking heavy losses with its
gambling rooms closed.
A acknowledgement musician,
although under contract for sew
eral weeks, said he would not
have the heart to hold the owner
to the agreement while he is loos-
ing so much money while gamb-
ling is barred"
Wealthy fasteners and tour
lists toss millions of dollars each
week across the gambling tables
here at the height of the season
in February. Miami is believed
to be the worlds largest winter
gambling center.

SUFFERING, DISEASE, ARE
SEEN In WAKE OF FLOODS:
RELIEF WORKERS EXTENDED
Loss Runs Into Millions
as Deaths Still Remain

MARKS, Miss, Jan. 26.-(UP)
The overrunning of it's banks by
Coldwater river $as today given
major credit for the known death
list of "a, suffered in the delta
floods of the past four days.
Five million dollar property
damage, and untold sickness and
suffering are reported in Tennes-
see, Arkansas and Mississippi as a
result of the floods.
Flood danger in the upper
reaches of the Mississippi lessened
today, but overflow into the low
lands drove thousands of people
in this section from their homes.
Relief officials are heavily over
taxed by the work demands made
on them by the emergency caused
by the inundation of thousands of
acres of land.
Disease spread today through
the food-ravaged Mississippi delta,
where 10000 homeless refugees
were crowded in boxcars, depots,
schools and store buildings.
Three deaths from pneumonia
were reported and scores suffered
from colds and influenza. Many
refugees had been exposed to cold
weather in wet clothes for five
days. Hundreds were loaded into
boxcars and scattered along the
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley rail-
way tracks to check the spread of
sickness. 3 . -
Miss Nannette McClarnin, Red
Cro,s representative from Wash
ington, said local doctors would
be able to handle the situation I'M
| less it grew worse.
Death toll from drownings alone
was estimated at 20. Lowlands
were inundated to the housetops
and many places were isolated. 1t
was feared the toll would increase
when the waters subsidized to re-
veal their destruction. Backwaters
were coated with ice.
The flood moved down the Cold
water river basin last night, drain
ing from the upper region but in
undating new areas downstream.
The crest was passing marks. Con-
victs and townsmen worked side
by side piling sandbags on the
levee, but water seeped through
the barrier and ran over the
streets.
The lower basin towns of Lam
bert, Crowder, Vance, Tutwiler,
Sumner and Webb were in the
path of the flood.
Property damage amounted to
millions of dollars. Nearly all the
poultry and livestock in four coun-
ties had been drowned or frozen.
Railroad tracks and bridges were
washed out. Stores, homes and
merchandise was ruined.
Red Cross workers moved food,
clothing and fuel by boat ana
train to the dozens of refugee
camps, but many were still walt
ing for relief.
Gov. NJ. S. Conner appealed for
contributions to help the suffer,
ers. He said $4,000 was needed
Immediately for relief work.

400 ARMED FOES OF
LONG in INVASION

BATON ROUGE, La, Jan. 26.
-(UP).-A raid on the Baton
Rouge parish courthouse by more
than 400 armed men and women
who said they had "gone to war
against Senator Huey Longs die
tatorship" ended last night as 81
lently and mysteriously as it be-
gan.
The raiders held siege on the
courthouse for five hours and
abandoned it shortly before nine
o'clock last night. State authori-
ties made no attempt to rout
them, although national guards
men in uniforms and carrying side
arms were seen gathering at Jack
son barracks in New Orleans.
Theodore O'Rourke, an unoffi-
cial spokesman for the citizens
army, said eve heard that Longs
police were getting ready to ar
rest about thirty-five of US on
charges of conspiracy to kill Long,
and we came down here to defend
ourselves"
After settling down for siege
in the corridors of the building
and ejecting two of Longs state
officials, the citizens army filed
out of the courthouse without
comment. Reporters were kept at
distance, but one unidentified
leader was heard telling the raid
ers:
"It appears that they weren't
going to arrest any of us for try
ing to kill Long after all, so you
can all go home now. We vii!

Missing Key Shows
UpAfter 10 Years

Sixteen years ago A. S. Merrill, State
university professor, was returning to
the United States on the U. s. s. Nero
from World war service in Uncle Sans
navy. The last night out from port he
mysteriously-or not 50 mysteriously-
lost his watch with a Phi Beta Kappa
key attached to the chain. Recently
he received a letter from a woman in
Beverly, Mass, saying that three years
before she had picked up a class en-
blem in the streets with his name and
the date of his graduation engraved on
It and that she would send it to him
upon ver~ification Of his address.
He sent the necessary proofs, WON
dering what the pin could be, since he
never owned a class emblem of that
type. A package arrived and when it
was opened out dropped the missing
Phi Beta Kappa key, none the worse
for zee He is still waiting for the
watch.
