ana. He fired the LSU coach who lost too many football games and caused the expulsion of eight stud- ents who criticized him in a stud ent newspaper.
 Long died in room on the sec- ond floor of. the -sanitarium over looking the tiny lake separating 1t from the capitol built during his regime as governor when unparal- leled expenditures built hundreds of miles of. paved roads, scores of bridges, dozens of other public buildings and lifted the states bonded debt from a figure below s10,00o,000 to $126,o00, 1000.
 Will IAe In State
 Longs body will lie in state in the rotunda of the capitol. Funeral services still were indefinite, but 1t was believed they would be public. His secretary, Earl Christenberry, announced burial probably would be in Winnfield, La., where he was born 43 years ago. a poor farm boy.
 In addition to threatening vio- lent political upheavals in Louisi- ana, Long's death brought pro- found change in the national poli- tical picture. A bitter enemy of the New Deal and of President Roosevelt, he had organized "Share-the-Wealth" clubs through out the country and was believed to plan welding them into the nu- cleus of third party to back his presidential aspirations either in 1936 or 1940.
 His death did not eliminate the intensity that gripped Louisiana the moment it was known he was wounded. In New Orleans three companies of militia stood by, awaiting orders that may send them to the capitol to frustrate any effort of Long opponents to seize the government by force. or to guard his high ranking. sub- leaders against 8 similar fate.
 Steel Ring At Capitol
 In Baton Rouge, heavy guard of state police and of Longs secret police, still maintained ring of sub-machine guns around the capi- tol Those who entered were saerched for weapons and those without specific. business were re- fused admittance.
 With the exception of Longs family, all of, those around him when he died had benefitted from his political regimes. Even the doc- tors at his bedside--who rank high among the states physicians-were state office holders. They were Dr. B, l.. Sanderson, superintendent of the Shreveport hospital, and Dr. Arthur Vidrine, superintendent of the New Orleans Charity hospial. Others who treated him were Dr. URban Macs, of New Orleans, in- tegnationally known surgeon, and Dr. Clarence Lorio, of Baton Rouge.
 Game But Losing Fight
 Long fought game but losing battle for life and succumbed only after doctors had used every pos sible means from heart stimulants and biod transfusions to an Oxy- gen tent to save him.
 Long died beneath an oxygen tent.
 Ills wife, his three children and his three brothers, were at his bed- side. The brothers, bitterly estrang- ea from the kingfish in life, en- acted . dramatic reconciliation as as Long lay dying. Also in the room were the high leaders of his politi- cal organization, including Cover nor o. K. Allen, Abe l.. Shushan, and Lieutenant Governor James Noe.
 Gradually and inevitable sinking throughout the night, his death had been anticipated momentarily. An hour before the end close relatives not then in the hospital were sum moned. Soon afterward hurry call was sent for the Rev. Gerald L. k. Smith, Longs close friend.
 As he died his wife could be heard sobbing through the closed door of his room. One of Longs friends stepped out, and Mrs. Longs sobs came loud and unre- strained over his shoulder. He said:
 Senator Long is dead
 Tribute of Governor
 Miss Rose Long, Senator Longs 2O-year-old daughter, appeared in the door. She was dry-eyed, entire ly composed. Governor o. K. Allen, Longs close political lieutenant, came out next. He was weeping. Pressed for a statement, he retired to another room and presently is- sued the following:
 'The death of the senior Senator Huey P. Long marks the passing of the greatest builder and economic director in the history of 200 years of Louisiana.
 "It also marks the passing of the greatest hero in the fight for the common rights of all the people of America.
 "His name will exist and be re- membered in the annals of Louis- iana and all America"
 Allen recited his statement while tears coursed down his cheeks. Us- ually q bluff and hearty man, the governor appeared utterly descon- solate.
 His Last Words
 Long'S last words, Allen said, were:
 My university boys! what will become of them now?"
 Long, fervent partisan Of Louisiana State University and its liberal patron during his seven years ruie over Louisiana, thought during his last moments of an in terest dearest to his heart.
 All through his last night he had been alternately delirious and semi conscious, with brief periods of ra- tiopaI thought.
 A staff of physicians, including specialists summoned from New Or leans, marshalled every resource Of their science to save Long from death from the bullet wound in- ficted by an assassin. He was given his fifth and last blood transfusion soon after midnight. Motorcycle policemen were dispatched for a heart sitmulant to replace adrena- lin which physicians had adminis- tered hypodermically. Tank after tank of oxygen was carried into the room and connected to the tent over his bed. But at 3 a. m. 1t be-
