KimSfiSh Earns Title
OF Greatest Dreamer

Iana, member of the anti-Long fac
ton, branded Longs charges of a
secret murder plot" as just q
case "of filters by a man suffer
ing from neutrality-suspicious."
The pilot" was disclosed by
Huey, who claimed to have in his
possession a transcript of the con-
versations that took place at the
meetings Of his enemies.
His foes, the Kingfish asserted,
planned to draw lotteries to see
who should aSSaSsinate him on
the Senate floor. The alleged
transcript also contained a state
ment by one of those in the meet
ing that President Roosevelt
would gladly pardon anyone who
would get rid of the delta dictator,
Representative Sanders said
Representatives Sandlin and Mon
tet, and himself, all Democratic
anti.Long leaders, held a series OF
political conferences with State
leaders in New Orleans just at the
time Longs alleged dictograph
records were made.
He declared, however, that the
murder plot charges were a char.
acteristic distortion OF fact"
adding:
"Our doors were open and the
use of dictaphone. secret police,
false witnesses, and other the
atricaI paraphernalia has been
invented to gloss over q simple
truth of Louisiana politics. We
just had a get together to talk
over politics. l didn't even have
a room at the hotel.
Long has a bad case of jlt-
tiers. Every time he hears Of OPP
position, or whenever he sees
two or three people talking poll
tics, he sees a plot to kill him.
"The truth is he is hystericaI.
He has q bad case Of murder
plot phObia.
Imagine a full grown man
running around with a body
guard and playing with dictO-
graphs. He probably wears
chain armor and has a food
faster"

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 10 GIN.
SO.-With extra details of police
guarding butcher shops and pack.
ing plants, hundreds of house
wives striking against high meat
prices today started their most
intensive weekend picketing drive
since the strike started three
weeks ago.
Throughout Detroit and Ham
tramck. where the strike" origi-
mated, the extra police were sta
toned with others held ready in
reserve to repel any possible re-
newal of last weeks rioting when
10 men and women leaders were
arrested.
Meantime. in Congress, Repre-.
sentative John D. Dingell of De-
troit offered q resolution asking
for an investigation of high meat
prices by a committee of five Con-
greSsmen.
Practically all butcher shops in
Hamtramck planned to remain
closed throughout the day, their
best business day of the week.
Mrs. Mary Zuk. head of the strik-
ers, said the shops would be pick
eted, however, whether open or
closed, but she warned her follow
ers against violence.
One disturbance was reported
yesterday, when picketS broke
their signs over the head of a
woman shopper and threw meat
she had purchased into the street.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. 10
GN.SO. - The revelation Of a
third murder plot against the life
of Senator Huey P. Long, as re-
vealed by Senator Huey Long, to-
day earned for the Louisiana
Senator the title of Americas
greatest hallucinationist."
That was the way Mayor T.
Semmes Walmsley of New orleans
today described Senator Long,
murder plot" which Long re-
vealed yesterday before the United
States Senate. Said Walmsley:
81 saw the Senator's photo
graph on the motion picture
screen mixing drinks in New
York. guess when he recovered
from them he dreamed all these
wonderful stories.
TAKES HONOR
"Most people, you know, re-
covering from too many have
wonderful imaginatiOns.
eyes, guess the Senator is
now this cOuntry's greatest hal.
lucinationiSt."
Other leaders, said by Long tt
have participated in the confer
ence at which among other things
his death was plotted" shared
Mayor Walmsey's opinion.
oscar Whilden, one Of the lead
ers of the square deal, doubted Il
Long had any record of such 9
meeting at all, adding, however
that "if he did, he must have
framed the meeting"
Senator Longs first murder
plot" was revealed in Baton Rouge
last January with a dramatic sud
denness. AS result of that pilot,
investigation of which consisted
mainly of the testimony of Sidney
Songy. a former prohibition in
former. martial law was clampeo
on Baton Rouge for six months
No Prosecution
Though Songy named Fred
O'Rourke and Fred Parker as the
ring leaders of that Conspiracy
no attempt has yet been made tt
prosecute them in the State
courts.
The second murder plot" was
revealed when a bomb" which
did not explode, was sent to Sen
ator Longs Washington office.

In certain cases, such as vet
Grams organizations. this amount
is increased, the seller receiving a
dollar on each book and the or
ganization another dollar.
Ads in Newspapers
For churches, charitable organi-
cations and similar groups selling
the tickets, as high as 80 per cent
of the amount realized is given.
A group of "key men" is also paid
$50 or 50 a book.
For the past several days the
organization has been advertising
in local newspapers for men to
sell the tickets.
The tickets are in the form of
a season ticket to a New Jersey
amusement park, and. with each
ticket is given a booklet of car
toonS.
The buyer must select the name
for each cartoon from a printed
list and submit this list together
with his ticket stub to the treas.

It was frankly admitted this
was a Subterfuge to avoid the lot
terry laws, and that the heads OF

there is a tie in all cases to de-
eide the winners Of the contest.
Pick Winners by Lot
In this case, it was said, the
winners" would be chosen by lot,
the names being pulled from a

Steps have been taken to pre-
vent counterfeiting Of the tickets,
and in each case when a ticket
and the cartoon list is sent in,
a receipt is mailed back as a
double safeguard, it was asserted.
In New York city, where the
tickets have been on sale since
June IS, an arrest Of a seller was
made, but a city magistrate held
the scheme legal and dismissed
the charge.
Mr.. Schoenberg also showed a

that the solicitor of the Post Office
Department had ruled the scheme
did not violate the postal laws re-
lating to lotteries and the ticket
books could be sent through the

der today to riot-battered Toulon,
Brest, and other ports.
Troops, mobile guards and gen.
darmes we're, however, ordered to
maintain their positions for fear
that trouble might break out again
when seamen, not fully satisfied
with LavaTs promise of partial
wage establishments, gather after
work tonight.
Union Leaders Aid
Laval won the cooperation Of
union leaders in inducing the men
to go back to work without further
disorders. He pledged, according
to workers representatives, that
overtime bonuses would be given
the workers to compensate for the
10 per cent wage cuts ordered for
all government employees in the
economy drive to prevent infla-
ton.
Summoning the projects OF all
departments in an unprecedented
action, Laval told them that the
"fate Of the country is at stake"
various projects spoke, reporting
on the situation in their dis
tricts.
The country in general was
said to be Modified somewhat by
the SO DEGREES drawn up to cut

Rural Areas
international News Service

Although about 95 per cent of
the electrical industry in the
United States is privately oper-
ated, there will not be cores
ponding division of rural electri-
fication Administration funds, de-
cleared Morris Cooke, REA admin
istrator in a radio address today
under the auspices of the National
Farm Bureau Federation. He de-
clared:
Funds will be made available
to public and private agencies
in whatever proportions each
group submits sound projects
and submits them promptly.
But preference will be accorded
the applications Of public
bodies and farm cOoperatives."
JAPAN AND EUROPE U. S.
Mr.. Cooke remarked that the
United States has been "woefully
backward" in electrifying its rural
areas, and pointed out more rapid
development in Japan and Euro
pean nations.
Rural identification can raise
rural life to a new level of econ
omy, efficiency and culture, he
said, while refrigeration, electric
ranges and other electrical aids
to housework will lessen household
drudgery. He asserted:
"The advantages Of fairly
widespread rural identification
are SO obvious. That the Ad-
miniStratiOn is doing everything
in its power to make all cOndi-
lions favorable for the success
Of this work"
SURROUNDING DIFFICULTIES
The REA, he said, is planning
its way around most Of the hin
ORANGES which have hitherto
barred rural electrical develop
ment, such as difficulties in
financing rural distribution lines
house wiring and the purchasing
of appliances.
An agency of the Federal Gov
eminent is being set up to help
farmers in wiring homes and pur.
chasing modern appliances and
plumbing equipment, Mr.. Cooke
added.

u. 5. WIPES0 OUT
/. RUM RUNNER
MENACE
Payments Gain For
Withdrawals of
Bond Liquor
International News Service

A behind-the-scenes fight to a
finish by the combined revenue
enforcement armies Of the Treas
ury has licked the "alky" snug
gler and alien liquor runner,
Treasury reports showed today.
While Treasury officials from
Secretary Mongenthau down
through the ranks of enforcement
agencies were chary of flat claims
of victory, they pointed to one
index, liquor withdrawal pay
ments, and another, the absence
of rum ships lowering outside the
danger zone.
Increases Noted
Payments on legal Withdrawals
in June, 1894, were 100000.
Payments for June this year were
$13, 200, 900, in round figures. The
same figures were reported for
May Of this year, over last May;
April of this year showed double
the withdrawal payments over last
year. Proportionate gains were
recorded for February and March
over the preceding year.
Treasury officials pointed out
that low withdrawal payments
were strong indication that the
supply was being met by outside
sources, presumably smuggled
liquor or alcohol for bootleg man
ufacture. Similarly, high with
drawal figures show that the IL
legal supply is failing.
The Surest sign of victory, they
claim. is the absence of rum ships.
Some months ago, President
Roosevelt attracted nationwide
attention to the menace of boot
legged alcohol, most of it from
foreign sources.
There were more than 10 rum
running vessels lowering outside
the legal danger zone, laden
mostly with alcohol. The Treas
ury today reported only four are
left. These are all on the Atlantic
coast, and are under constant
guard. Their exact location is not
being advertised, but enforcement
officers know where they are
anchored. .-..
Treaties On Horizon /
Drying up this outlaw alcohol
and liquor was done through the
combined efforts of six enforce
ment groups in the Treasury, in
cooperation with other depart
ment Sleuths and those of Can
ada.
Every week these six groups
have held a Crime conference"
in the Treasury Building, to pool
their efforts for the next weeks
operations. When the liquor fugi-
tives, on ship or shore, attempted
to cross to Canada, agents of that
country took up at the border
line, armed with information
from American sources.
Canada is now reported trou-
bled by the same danger from
smugglers. Under the new anti
smuggling act, the United States
is preparing to negotiate treaties,
notably with Great Britain, Swe-
den and France, designed to
tighten the fence even more.

N. Y. Strikers Claim
WPA Revolt Will Spread

NEW YORK, Aug. 10 GN.s).
Although it was felt in some
quarters that the backbone Of the
WPA projects strike had been
broken in New York and else.
where, union leaders here pre-
dicted today the revolt against
the Governments security wage"
would gain momentum over the
weekend.
The strike leaders declared that
by Monday at least $4,000 skilled
workers on WPA jobs would lay
down their tools and would be
Joined by hundreds of white col.
lar workers and home relief reel
pients.
George Meany, president of the
New York State Federation Of La
Dor, said he would cooperate with
no one in the strike except other
A. F. of L. leaders, but Thomas
Murray, president Of the strike
committee of the Central Trades
and Labor Council, and other Ia
Dor men expressed willingness to
work with all others on relief
projects.
Many observers felt President
Roosevelt'S announcement that no
workers, who left their jobs on
WPA projects, would be given re-
lief was a fatal blow to the
strikers.

Bay. They refused to regard the
New York flareup as any sort OF
a crisis. In the words Of the Chief
Executive. if these men don't want
to work there is no compulsion-
but if they don't work they need
not expect home relief while idle.
They are not striking" but
rather indulging themselves In "a
return to their homes"
Dole Soon to End
In one respect, Administration
leaders welcomed the issue which
has been raised because it focuses
attention forcibly on their de-
termination to end the direct Fed
eral dole by November. Official
Washington is banking heavily
on the support and sympathy Of
the taxpayers who must foot the
bills for the billions now being
poured out to keep the untor-
tunate from starving.
AS Mr.. Roosevelt explained 1t.
work-relief jobs are being created
to replace the dole because OF a
conviction that continuation Of
the dole would be bad for the
morale of the nation as a whole.
In this, the United States Is
merely following in the footsteps
of England and other European
nations that experimental earlier
with the dole and found 1t
wanting.
Reds Blamed
Those in charge here agreed
thoroughly with the warning Of
General Hugh s. johnson, WPA
director for New York city, that
union leaders were merely pulling
Communist cheStnuts out of the
fire" when they attempted to
organize work-relief strike.
Various investigating agencies OF
the Government have positive in
formation that Communist in
fluences have been at the bottom
Of many recent labor disturbances.
In this respect the reactions OF
William Green, president Of the
American Federation Of Labor,
were being watched with interest.
Speaking from Atlantic City,
where the A. F. Of L. executive
council is meeting, Mr.. Green has
declared national labor headGuar-
tiers will maintain a hands-oft
attitude-although predicting the
strikes will spread.
The A. F. of L. long has been
in the forefront fighting against
Communism. Washington was
waiting to see how far headquar-
tiers would back up the New York
State Federation Of Labor in the
current situation.
