TROOPS SEIZE
SHERIFF WHO
DEF|ED LONG

BATON ROUGE, La, Jan. %
NN.S). The office of Sheriff
Robert Petit, who recently defied
the State Administration by COM
Inisioning a number of deputies
without the approval of the State
Bureau of Investigation, was seized
today by National Guard de-
tail.
Lieut.. Lester Cave, of the 141st
Field Artillery, commanding the
detail, required Sheriff Petit to
supply him with list of all arms
and ammunition in the office and
q roster Of all prisoners.
A guard consisting Of one pri-
vate was left in the office when
the officer departed.
From a hospital bed where
he lay, riddled and criti
cally wounded from a blast of
bullets, George Alessi, victim Of
Saturdays clash between militia
men and Louisiana's Square Deal
Minute Men, today charged he
was shot down by two men in
plain clothes while he was
weaponless and with arms raised
in token of surrender.
The shooting occurred when
militiamen rushed to the airport
to disperse a gathering of Square
Dealers who met there in defiance
OF the martial law proclamat ton
Dealers.
Long Blamed
Charges that Senator Huey
Longs formidable political ma.
chine deliberately staged opposi.
ton meetings as an excuse to de.
clare martial law and seize con.
troll of city and parish govern,
ment were voiced by a prominent
anti-Long leader today.
The leader further alleged that
Longs discovery" of plot
against his life was also a hoax
for political ends.
ASKING CnaC MS Identity be held
secret for fear of reprisals, he
said:
II am convinced there was
no plot against Longs life. The
men Long charges cOnsipred
against him are all reputable
citizens. They were in his way.
He wants to diScredit them and
run them out of public life."
The plot on his life, according
to Senator Long, was nipped
when Sidney Songy, a former
prohibition informer and sup.
posedly member of the Square
Dealers, allegedly bestrayed the
conspiratorS. But the accused
men vehemently denied any part
in the assassination plot, brand
ing the charges as false, ridicu-
1ouS and absurd"

was issued by DR.. Hans Kinder
and the symphony officials to
day:
"The National Symphony Or
chestra and DIR. Kinder had
considered when they made the
students concerts programs as
they are this winter, namely,
decOted to the music of various
countries, that the knowledge
Of the national anthems of
these countries would be of edu.
catiOnal value.
TnaSmuch as it now seems
that this feature is being used
to create disSensiOn, DIR. Kinder
has regretfully decided rather
than have the children's con.
certs disturbed, to omit these
anthems in the future and to
replace them by characteristic
folk songs"
The Washington times., 1935-01-28
World of Music

Happy indeed was DR.. Hans
Kindler's idea to have the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra play a
concert of all-Viennese music. And
happy was the audience at the
way it was presented yesterday
afternoon in Constitution Hall.
Outside was snow and ice and
cold. Inside was all the warmth
and gaiety and laughter to be
found in that once most sparkling
capital in the world, Vienna.
It was not a concert of great
music. Far from it! But it was
program of music that is
thoroughly enjoyed by all, and it
was played in an understanding
manner.
There was the well known and
beloved Unfinished Symphony
Of Schubert, music that will last
so long as this world shall last
and always thrill it's hearers.
'Unfinished' it may be, and per
haps it is as well, as it seems i'm
possible that an adequate ending
could be provided, so perfect are
the two movements.
Note of SOIemnity
The overture to The Magic
Flute" of Mozart, written as the
shadows of death were lengthen-
ing over him, was the only music
that added a note of solemnity
to the program, dramatic and
haunting.
Haydn was represented on the
program by the "Allegretto" from
his great Symphony in D major.
The second half of the program
was given over to Johann Strauss,
and had the audience won COM
pletely by the really excellent
reading the orchestra gave of the
light and gay numbers.
There was the overture to "Die
Fledermaus," with it's assortment
of spirited waltzes. Then came
the famous wiener Blut" waltz.
And the funny, rollicking little
Pizzicato Polka was given such
an ovation that the orchestra re-
peated it not once but twice.
The program ended with that
grand old war horse" the Blue
Danube. and hackneyed as it has
been throughout the years, it still
retains it's charm.
