GENEVA, Sept. 1O.-(UP).--
Two U. S. senators travelling in
Europe. who repeatedly have de-
plored Senator Huey Longs politi-
cal tactics, were outspoken yester-
day against his attempted assassl-
nation.
Senator James P. Pope, DEM,
Idaho, interviewed in the diplo-
matte gallery of the League of
Nations assembly, said: "The
shooting of Senator Long is. a
shock. Like other vigorous, color
full leaders, he had strong friends
and bitter enemies. While I dis
agree with his political philosophy
and methods, including his opposi-
ton to policy of good will and
understanding among nations, l
deplore the outrage committed"
Senator James Hamilton Lewis,
DEM, Ill.,, told the United Press
in Berlin: "While Senator Long
and l are political opponents, l
greatly deplore this shooting. At
a moment when the whole world
must realize the value of calmness
and restraint, it is regretable that
any state in the United States
should give evidence of what ap-
pears to be uncontrolled excite
ment."
Lewis attributed political condi-
tions in Louisiana to Longs oppo-
sition to President Roosevelt's
policies. '#'a .---

attack on Ethopia-of some 90
100000 men, women and girls,

Italian sources said Baron POM
