 Senate democratic leaders need aid in their contest with the Kingfish. However. he may fare in his radio exchange with Gem eral Johnson. Long has demon- strated to senate democratic lead- CT, Joseph T. RobinNon. that he Is a ruthless debater and a dangerous man.
 Long dipped yesterday into the political, personal and business life of the senate leader and left his nerves raw and salted. He barred the condolences of a political con- ference. He told of public utility clients served by Robinson's Arkan- sas law firm before the senator was persuaded after previous pub- licity - to resign his legal part nership.
 The Kingflsh sent Senator Ben nett Champ Clark, democrat, Mis- souri, gulping to his seat by the expedient of treating him like a mischievous child.
 Snecred at the President
 Long sneered at President Roosevelt and spattered the ad- ministration with abuse. He said the New Deal was composed of a mixture of Farleyism, Baruchism and Johnsonism.
 The senate Is not accustomed to such weapons in debate. Senator Josiah W. Bailey. democrat, North Carolina, gave Long the lie, although in parliamentary lan- guage, Robinson told him he was no gentleman but an ignorant, arrogant egomaniac - madman.
 Long did not wither. Bailey's emphatic remark that he would not accept any statement of his as the truth did fluster the Kingfish. But Capitol Hill believes only Johnson's words raised a blister cn Longs skin. Senate democrats have failed so far to persuade Sen. ator Theodore c. Bilbo, democrat, Mississippi. to meet Long with his own weapons in the senate.
 Johnson May Reply
 A hint that Johnson had been drafted appeared today in the hope full expectation of some democratic leaders that the general would reply at once to Long's charge that he is merely the t6ol of Bernard M.' Baruch. Long called Baruch an of Wall street, Q market rigger and protector of privilege against governmental reform.
 Persons who know Johnson well do not believe he will permit the debate to end now nor that he challenged Long and Father without knowing he was a fight which would not be over in 8 day or week. There | are rumors no more - that | Johnson's denunciation of the priest and the senator was urged from powerful If unofficial quart | CTS not aligned with the New Deal. Johnson said only that friends had told him not to make the speech and that 1t was not preceded by | with administration of- ficials.
 President Less Annoyed
 There are indications that Pres- ident Roosevelt has been annoyed by Long's effective sharpshooting' But there are signs. too, that he IS less disturbed about Longs politi- cal potentialities than are some oI his advisers and, particularly, Rob- nson. Senator Pat Harrison, dem ocrat, Mississippi, and others m congress who are faced each day with this question:
 "What within reason can we do about that man. Long?"
 Within an hour yesterday Long promised defeat next year to two colleagues, Robinson and Bailey. He spoke less emphatically of Mis- ,issippi but 1t is known that he as- pires to annex that state to the Province of Louisiana.
 Long would have been on the defensive if one of his armed guards had been found yesterday | in the senate gallery. As listen- CTS streamed into Capitol corridors after the personal exchanges be- tween Long and Robinson, Ser geant-at-arms Chesley w. Jurney stopped Robert Brothers, a Long follower. and made him submit to search.
 No Gun Was Found Il
 Jurney found no gun. If he had been armed and identified as one of Long's guards, the senate lead-
