REPRISALS IN
FIGHT BY LONG
ANTICIP
Administration Preparing
to Train Guns on Sem
ator From Louisiana
SENATOR IS CALLED
ARROGANT, IGNORANT

WASHINGTON, Mar. 6. (UP).
Huey Longs soothing challenge to
the New Deal drew threats Of
early reprisals from the high adj
ministration command today.
Hugh S. Johnson speeded to-
ward a conclusion Longs contest
with the administration when he
attacked the anti-New Deal coali-
ton in which Johnson charges
Long and Father Coughlin, the
radio priest, are joined.
Long may hasten his reckoning
day when he speaks tomorrow
night over the same radio chain
for the same length of time as did
Johnson when he called the sena-
tor and priest "demagogues and
political pied pipers who would
| tootle millions to economic preci-
pice." 1t appeared Hugh Johnson
would stay in the fight.
Long demonstrated to Senate
Democratic Leader Joseph T. Rob-
inson that he is a ruthless debater
into Robinson's personal business
life left his nerves raw sailed
He sneered at President Roose-
welt and spattered the administra-
ton with abuse. Robinson said
the senate was "disgusted with
Longs attacks on men superior
to himself" He called Long an
| ignorant and arrogant mailman:
Senator Josiah w. Bailey, d.,
N. c.. called Long a liar, but in
the soft words of parliamentary
proprieties.
Robinson rebuked Long for
"egotism, ignorance and AFRO
gance," seldom equalled.
"I'm utterly unwilling to take
your word for that or anything
else" was Bailey's comment when
Long invited the senate to take
his word for the fact that millions
are starving in the United States;
Unnecessary insult" shouted
Long.
Sen. William H. Dietrich, D.,
ILL.,, tried to make a point OF Or
der against Long but it did not
prevail.
Unprecedented exchanges on
the floor were stopped as the SEN
ate adjourned when Sergeant-at,,
Arms Chesley Jurney seized and
searched Robert Brothers, of the
New Orleans port authority, on
suspicion that he was a member
of Longs bodyguard. Brothers
was unarmed. His frequent pres.
ence in the distinguished visitors
gallery has gotten on the nerves
of some senators although Jurney
was assured two weeks ago that
Brothers was not one of Longs
guards.

GREEKS HOPE
FOR DECISIVE
BATTLE TODAY
Push Into Macedonia for
Opportunity to Crush
Rebels There
REBEL WARCRAFT IN
FLIGHT FROM BOMBS

ATHENS, Greece, March G.
(UP)-Government airplanes to,
day attacked rebels in eastern
Macedonia.
Loyal troops, confronting reb,
els on two sides, were instructed
to encircle them in a smashing
drive to end the revolution. Many
were reported killed.
Loyalist troops, earlier ham,
pered by rains and mud, toiled
eastward through Macedonia
seeking a fight to the finish with
rebels today. The rebels were re,
firing slowly in the face of the
army's advance.
Twelve thousand troops were
rushed out of Athens early today,
towards east Macedonia, to sup,
plemenU the 100000 loyal soldiers
under command of General
George Condylis, who planned q
majo, assault on Macedonian reb'
ell fosces.
The government, meanwhile
consolidated its strategic position
eastward of the river Strymon
and threw heavy forces around
the 1ridgeheads.
A decisive battle was expected
within "a hours, after an eXult,
ant proclamation by the comman'
der-in-chief, who told the rebels
that at least 100000 troops would
fall upon them.
Il was the evident intention Of
General Condylis to spare blood
shed. He informed the enemy
that the government was calling
loyal classes to the colors, thai
!! 100000 well equipped infantry
men were in the field, and that
the defense forces were crum
bling.
That an end of the Civil wal
which has ragged through the is,
land of Crete and in upper
Greece may be near, was indicat'
ed by the action of neighboring
countries which closed their Dor,
ders to soldiery, and disarmed
fleeing rebels as fast as they tried
to cross the frontier either into
Jugoslavia, Bulgaria or Turkey.
The rebel fleet at Crete is
steaming in and out of the waters
lof the Cyclades islands.
The ships were unable to re,
main at their base in SCUBA bay
Because of repeated attacks from
the air, and were afraid to ap-
proach the Greek mainland be-
cause of the heavy coastal batter,
les which were ready to pound
them with heavy shells.
The center of the revolutionary
storm appeared to have moved
from Crete to Macedonia, how
ever, where-despite optimistic
government reports - it was eVl,
dent to observers that the ioyal
troops were encountered sitter
resistance than they had expect
ed.
Occasional reverses also were
reported, although the govern
ment chose to ignore them.

ADMINISTRATION HAS
RELIEF BILL IN HAND

WASHINGTON, Mar. 6. (UP).
Administration forces were conf
dent today that, after long delays
and threats to their whole legisla-
tive program, they were again in
control of the vital $4,880, 000,-
900 work relief resolution.
The measure, keystone of the
New Deal program laid down by
President Roosevelt in his annual
message to congress, was expect
ed to encounter lengthy senate
debate. Indications were that the
White House would win out on
main points of the controversy.
The news that the two Vermont
senator's, both Republicans, in
tended to oppose the prevailing
wage amendment, the most con-
troversial feature of the bill, was
heartening to leaders attempting
to carry out the presidents wishes
for defeat of the proposal.
Senate Majority Leader Joseph
T. Robinson, although immersed
in a prolonged and fiery debate
with Senator Huey P. Long, d.,
La, found time to express optim-
ism over the outlook.
Sen. James F. Byrnes. D., S. c.,
confidant Of the White House, ap-
peared cheerful over the prospects
of getting the resolution through
in a form satisfactory to Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Advocates of the amendment
professed to be undismayed.
Sen. Pat McCarran, d., New,
hard-fghting author of the pre-
vailing wage plan, said he hoped
to pick up enough votes to coun-
terbalance the ones which ap-
peared to be lost.
The indication Republican votes
would help the Democratic admin
istration put over its bill was
stressed by those looking for po-
litical significance in the senate
situation.
|. 1t was pointed out such a de-
velopment would place the Re.
pu blican party in the position OF
having helped defeat a plan to
which organized labor, through
the American Federation OF La
Dor, had given unqualified en-
dorsement.

HILL DEFENDS
LIQUOR BILL
Says "Best People" Are
Violating the Turing
ton Act

RALEIGH, March 6.-(UP)-
Senator John Sprunt Hill told the
state senate today that "the best
people in North Carolina are vio-
lating the burlington act" as he
urged enactment of his bill pro-
viding for state-controlled sale of
whiskey. He branded the Turling-
ton act as absurd.
RALEIGH, March 6. - Indica-
tions were today that the joint
finance and appropriations com.
mittees had almost completed
their work, and that the appro-
priations and revenue bills, which
have occupied the attention of the
committees since the middle OF
January, are almost ready fol-
submission on the floor of the
general assembly.
The joint finance committee
yesterday acted by increasing
franchise taxes on domestic and
foreign corporations and a priv
Ilege tax was voted on public eat
/ ing places.
The joint appropriations com
mittee yesterday covered a large
portion of the proposed money
bill for the next biennium and af'
ter the session was within a few
major items of completing the
draft. A number of minor in
creases were made in budget esti'
mates, and an allotment of $16,'
900 each year was given the pa
role commissioners office.
The finance committee increased
the levy on foreign and domestic
stocks from $3.50 to $1.75 pei
$1,000 of capital stock, surplus
and undivided profits. Levies were
also increased on hotels, boarding
houses and restaurants by impos'

Charles Lee Faced Last
Duty at Epiphany.

SCOT on his shirt where he had
evidence today of the faithfulness to
the last of Charles Lee, 60, colored
sexton of the Church of the Epiphany,
found dead this morning near the
furnace in the basement of the church.
He had kept his record intact-by
going to work this morning although
not feeling well-in not missing a day
during some 20 years as sexton at
the church. His last act had been
to fire the furnace. Apparently, Lee
was stricken with heart attack and
clutched at his heart.
He was found on the floor near the
furnace by Richard Mann, colored,
1900 block of P street, the head sexton
of the church. Only a few minutes
before Lee had gone to the basement.
He was respected for his faithful
ness to duty and politeneSS by both
the church Office force and members
of the congregation. He frequently
was intrusted with large sums of
money, Mrs. Martha Mayo, the church
financial secretary, said.
Police investigating learned from
Lees wife that he had not been feel
ing well and had been complaining
Of pains in his side, but he decided
to keep his record intact and went
to work.
The coroner was to investigate be-
fore issuing a certificate. Lees home
was at PASS P street.

Sam Beard and IL gambling asso-

at liberty on bond for the present,
the United States Court of Appeals
decided yesterday.
The defendants were released on
bond pending an appeal from their
conviction by District Supreme Court
Justice Joseph w. Cox. United States
Attorney Leslie C. Garnett had asked
that they be committed to jail pending
the appeal and. when this request
was refused, he asked the Court of
Appeals to vacate Justice Cox's order.
In refusing Garnett's request, the
appellate court said:
'"The trial justice was of the opinion
that the appeal involved a substan-
tial question, to be determined by
this court on appeal. In view of
this and without the assistance OF
the trial record, we would not be war
ranted in reaching the conclusion
that the order allowing bail was i'm
proNdently made"
The application of the District at
torney was denied without prejudice
which means he may renew his re-
quest If there is change In the
status Of the case.

PROPOSAL WOULD
CUT PEPCO RIGHTS
Roberts Suggests Decision in
Rooming House Rates Be Made
by Commission.

The Potomac Electric Power Co.
would lose its present right to decide
whether the residential scale of rates
or the commercial schedule should be
assessed against consumers who rent
out spare rooms under a proposal
made today to the Public Utilities
Commission by Peoples Counsel
Roberts.
The peoples counsel raised the
question recently, charging there now
is discrimination in the selection of
the rate schedule. At the request of
the commission, he today proposed
that the rule be adopted that the
residential rate could not be applied
in cases Of residential consumers who
have lodging house accommodations
for hire of 10 or more persons.
Adoption of such rule would mean
something Of a reduction of charges
to rooming house proprietors having
accommodations for less than 10 per-
sons, in cases where they now are
charged the commercial schedule.
Under the residential rates, the cost
for units of 800 kilowatt hours Is $6.40
per month, whereas the same amount
of current under commercial schedule
would be $10.05 per month.
