FOES Of LONG
FACE FIGHT
IN OFFICE
Books Are Audited in Attempt
To Get Grounds to Eject
Them From Jobs

BATON ROUGE, La, Jan. 20
U.N.S0-Just as last summer he
whipped the rebellious city Of
New Orleans into submission,
Senator Huey Longs subjugation
of Louisiana's capital city and the
parish Of East Baton Rouge to his
politico-miltary dictatorship went
forward today in orderly, unhur-
ried fashion.
The dictator was in Washing
ton hurting charges in the Senate
that the Standard Oil Company,
perennial butt Of his soak-the-
rich, share-the-wealth program,
was back of a "plot" to assassi-
nate him-an alleged conspiracy
which opposition leaders assert
he has fabricated as an excuse to
call out the troops.
Long Forces In Command
But, supported by the bayonets
of a regiment of militiamen,
Longs political subordinates pro-
ceeded to hold the fortress during
his temporary absence, and to
consolidate the ground won.
Auditors from the office of SUI
pervisor of public accounts went
forward with a special audit Of
the books Of Parish Sheriff Bob
Petit, one of the officials the die
tator has not been able to bend
to his will.
Books Of the policy jury, parish
governing body which has defied
Longs attempts to uSurp their au-
thority, also were sought by Gen
eral Louis Guerre, commander Of
Military District No. /, but had dis
appeared. Sheriff Petit said he did
not know where they could be
found. They were supposed to be
in his custody.
Hope To Eject Rebels
From the audit of the parish
books, it was learned, the Long
forces hoped to obtain information
to support their impending move
to eject Long opponents from pub
lie office.
In the face of denial by admin
istration leaders and military au-
thoritles, reports persisted that two
further steps to complete the rout
Of his enemies and completion of
his program of gaining complete
political master are imminent.
Another extra session of the leg
islature-the fourth since last Aug
uSt-of which Longs political
henchman, Governor o. K. Allen,
profeSsed to know nothing" is
scheduled to be called the latter
part of this week.
The special legislative session, it
was learned, is expected to arm
Long with further powers to re.
move his opponents from office.

an amazing lot of ammunition in
his fight to cut down electric
light rates to proper level,
wherever they are excessive.
Must Settle It
Just how to squeeze the water
from the holding companies is a
question to be settled. There has
been talk of a tax that will make
holding companies. improbable,
and in that way eventually to
drive them out of business.
The President has no quarrel
against the well-managed operat-
ing companies; his fight Is against
the legal old man of the sea who
sits on the backs of the operating
companies and sucks their divi-
dendS dry.
The Presidents firm attitude in
this power matter is making the
power magnateS sit up and take
notice; not a week passes that
some Of them do not drop in to
have heart to heart talk with the
President. Their hope is not to
divert him from his purpose but
to keep him from sharp action,
which they claim will depreSS util.

level. At any rate, the power pol.
icy appears to be still in the max.

Employees RegretfuI,
Yet Gratified

Although spokesmen for organ
lied Government employees ex"
pressed regret today at the Sen
ate's failure to vote retroactive
restoration of pay, the consensus
was that need for abolition of
the 5 per cent cut was too great
to press the retroactive issue.
Luther c. Steward. president of
the National Federation of Fed
eral Employees and chairman of
the legislative council Of Federal
Employees Organizations. and E.
Claude Babcock, leader of the
American Federation of Govern.
ment Employees, agreed the meas.
ure was a compromise. acceptance
Of which best served the clerks
cause at this time.
Both leaders are confident OF
favorable House action on the
measure. Mr.. Babcock, who plans
to appear tomorrow before the
Senate subcommittee to back the
Logan bill. was tersely enthusias'
tic. He said:
"A compromise, surrendering
retroactive pay, was the best we
could get at this time. We are
perfectly satisfied"
Mr.. Steward, whose organiza'
ton has concentrated on the Nc
Carran bill, declared, in part:
ut is a source of distinct
qualification to the National
Federation of Federal Employees
that this decision step has been
taken to right an injustice and
an economic fallacy.
'Tt is to be regretted, of
course, that April l instead of
January / was fixed as the date
for full restoration. However,
the need was great, so that the
best interests of hundreds of
thousands of workers involved
dictated reasonable cOmprO-
mise"

all of it bootlegged, were delivered
in the Chevy Chase section during
the Christmas holidays. He
added:
eff this is an indication Of
the extent of bOotIegging in
Washington, it must be rather
prevalent"
Major Brown expressed the view
that bootleggerS generally are
transferring their interest to gam
bling.
Although the Illinois representa-
tive persisted in efforts to obtain
an admission from the witness
that outsiders are encroaching on
the local gambling rackets, Major
Brown insisted that in his opinion
there is no outside interference
and no such thing as organized
crime here as there is in many
other cities.
Major Brown said:
"There is quite large number
of runners for the numbers
racket in Washington, but there
is no outside control"
Small Force
Major Brown produced records
showing there were 81 murders in
Washington in 1882, 76 in 1888 and
81 in 1884, but said other felonies
were decreasing. He reminded the
committee that the Washington
police force is relatively small, and
that ITS members of the present
force are assigned to duty with the
traffic bureau.
Representative Schultz appeared
perturbed on both counts, and
indicated his agreement with the
superintendent that the force
should be increased. He said his
office had been flooded with tele'
phone calls purporting to register
complaints against the police, but
that his office staff had been
instructed to disregard them un.
less those complaining were will.
ing to appear before the com.
mittee and testify.
Help Offered
Chairman Jennings Randolph
(D0, Of West Virginia, chairman
Of the investigating body, read a
letter from Corporation Counsel E.
Barrett Prettyman, offering to
place the services Of his office at
the committees disposal, to as.
sist it in it's present inquiry. The
letter said that if the committee
desired it, an aid would be as.
signed from the corporations
counsel'S staff.
Major Brown estimated that
there are not less than 100000 au,
tomobiles on the streets daily. He
arrived at this figure by taking
the 1884 registration of 1882
cars and adding 10000 or more
which come into the city daily
from Maryland and Virginia. It
was emphasized that the traffic
force is small for a regulatory
problem of this magnitude.
Request Denied
A request by the police super
intendent that he be permitted
to attend all future hearings of
the committee, so that he might
hear the testimony and act on
as it seemed appropriate, was
refused by the investigating
body. The refusal was based
on the conclusion that witnesses
appearing voluntarily or sum.
moned by the committee might
be backward in their answers If
a police official were present.
