NEW HOUSING
PLAN STUDIED
BY CITY GROUP
Realtors Hope to Acquire
Huge Site in South
Indianapolis.

A second low cost housing project,
similar in magnitude to the $3,000,-
600 Negro apartment development
under construction near City Hos
pital, may be acquired for occupancy
of white tenants in South Indian
apolis, Carl M. Ferguson, Federal
project manager, revealed today.
Working secretly but with rapid
progress, a group of local realtors,
Mr.. Ferguson said, are taking prop
erty options in a large, undisclosed
area situated we'll within the city's
southern boundary.
The area sought, was selected by
the Federal Emergency Housing Adj
visory Committee, a voluntary unit
of indianapolis citizens, who Sue
ceeded in bringing here one of the
first metropolitan housing projects
financed by the Federal government.
Mr.. Ferguson's disclosure followed
a statement in which he declared
baseless a rumor that construction
work on the Negro project was near
StandStill.
A slight delay in excavation &C
tivities, he said, had been due to
the discovery of a number of aban-
doned wells and cisterns on the
area. Building plans altered as a
result must be approved in Wash
ington.
"One apartment foundation is
completed" he said, and concrete
is being poured for another. About
rs men are working and this num-
Der will increase rapidly after
Oct. l."

adult education. resulted, he claimed,
in a 20 per cent increased enroll
ment in the schools and reduc-
ton in four years of adult illiterates
from $4,000 to 100000.
Meanwhile. he moved Louisiana
State University into handsome new
buildings, increased its rating from
&C" to "a" and its attendances from
1900 to 5000. Part of this expansion
included the creation of a school
Of medicine, for which he got the
best faculty available, which was
not appreciated by naughty Tulane
University in New Orleans, which
has one of the several ranking med
ical schools in the country.
His friends will tell that engin-
GERS had said for generations that
a bridge could not be built across
the mile-wide Mississippi at New
Orleans. Long ordered it built and
it is 80 per cent complete now.
His supporters proclaim that he
doubled the capacity of the states
charity hospitals and reduced the
death rate in them from Al to %
per cent, reducing the daily per
capita cost, he claimed, from STA
to $1.31.
He did a number of other things
which can not be encompaSsed in
this first article, and in the course
of doing them he damned through
seven special sessions of the Legis-
lature a series of bills which made
him the first American dictator and
created the first absolute authori-
tartan government this nation has
yet seen.
Those strange bills made 1t pos
sible for him to disbar lawyers, re-
move judges, lower or increase tax
assessments or hold opponents in
jail without bail.

hold office without his sanction.
Elected city officials could be re-
moved at his will, and were. Local
communities had to advertise tax
sales in papers sympathetic to him.
Finally, the state administration
(Which meant Long, had the sole
right to name all polling-booth COM
miSsioners in every precinct through
out the state.
All that, and lot more such like,
gave him political control of the
state and New Orleans, and of it's
once all-powerful city ring. Mean
while two years and three months
after he was elected governor, he
had gotten himself elected to the
U. S. Senate. For awhile he was
Governor Senator elect. Then he
elected his aid, o. K. Allen, to the
governorShip, ran Louisiana from
Washington and put his eyes on the
White House.

and plundering politicians. But no
one in Louisiana foreSaw what was
about to happen.
Blocked Impeachment Proceedings
The new governor soon enlight-
ened them. Within a year and Is
days he was impeached. He licked
the impeachment with methods of
his own and proceeded to become
dictator. He had his own idea of
what he wanted to do for his state
and he knew how to do it.

Huev Paradox in Louisiana
All this is passing strange to any
one who knows Louisiana and the
temper Of its citizens - especially
the temper Of those who cluster in
the southern part of the state. en-
iov the patronage of great corpora
tions and breathe an ancient air OF
aristOcracy and personal honor lt
was these whom Long, as Governor
and later as Senator and dictator
at-larpp. threw out of Office and
mower with a cheerful abandon and
whom he afronted at every stage
OF his career.
Southern Louisiana. the LOuisi-
ana of slumbering plantations and
of New Orleans. is a land where
men once fought to the death about
the state Of the weather or about a
difference of opinion concerning a
prlma dOnna's voice. A journalist
Of the old ante-bellum days OBJ
served. THE least breach of ell
0uette. the most venial sin against
politeness. the least suspicion
thrown out of unfair dealing. even
a bit OF awkwardnesS. are causes
sufficient for a cartel, which none
dares refuse"
There is an authenticated story
of four young men who chose to
fight with swords on the bank Of
the canal which once ran through
l-st-merely because 1t was a
beautiful night for a fight. Two
of them died.
Bodyguard Revealed Fear
That Huey Long succeeded for so
many years i'm not getting shot at
is merely proof that he realized the
probabilities. Wherever he went in
recent years. in or out of LouiSi-
ana. he was accompanied by an
armed bodyguard which included
Joe Cupid MeSSina and Squinch-
Eye MCGEE. a torpedo from the st.
Louis wharves who limited his pub
lie statements to: You amt gonna
pop no Senator"
But all that came slowly. LOuiSi-
ana had to learn 10 take him seri-
ouslv. lust as the nation did when
he emerged as a Senator in 1890.
No one in Louisiana paid great at

state in 1917 and got elected TO The
rather minor Office of railroad COM

Nor did the state pay any too
great attention on Aug. 30. 1923
