, though his associates said that he finally became convinced that he would be the victim of an attempt ed assassination.
 Despite all that, Long refused to heed advice to walk behind his bodyguard instead of jauntily ahead of it.
 Long's friends said that thou sands of pistols similar to that used by Dr. Carl A. Weiss, Jr., the assa ssin, were shipped into Louisi- ana in an organized plot against the Kingfish's life. They declare their belief that Weiss participated in the preliminary preparations and in the drawing of lots to de- termine the man who should fire the shot.
 The inquest into Weiss death has has been postponed so that Longs men can continue their ef- forts to translate rumor and gos- sip into evidence.

 Press Wants Clean Up
 New Orleans, Sept. 11-UP) - Louisiana's press today condemned the violence that took the life of Sen. Huey P. Long, but saw oppor- tunity for the citizenship to over throw his tyranny.
 NaWcno on1 fI,aic ol;k4r, almost without exception, opposed Long, who had vilif1ed them in re- peated attacks by radio speeches. Longs legislation had provided for severe tax on newspaper ad- vertising, but the law is now be- ing contested in federal courts.

 If we are to maintain Louisi- ana in it's past place in the sister hood of states our citizens must show the willingness and fortitude to assert their political desires with their ballots at the polls.
 Assassination is not the right method of redressing grievances, however, deepseated these may be, and it often defeats it's own pur- pose

 Recalling that a senator's sal ary is only 5000, Sen. Willard E. Tydings, d., Md, asked:
 Where did the rest come from ?''
 Tt was paid by people who didn't have the sense that have and hired me as their lawyer" Long replied.
 In response to another query, he said he spent most of 1t on brass bands. football games and drinks for my friends"
 Earle D. Christenberry, Longs secretary, said that although Long was reputedly a wealthy man, 'jr looks now as though a $50,000 life insurance policy is the extent of his estate"
 "Of course there is his home in New Orleans and several other small assets" Christenberry said, "but the life insurance policy is the largest item we know of at
