LONG FILES REPLY
TO SUIT BY ANSELL
"AbsoIute Privilege" De-
fense Set-up-Character
of Opponent Attacked.

After two unsuccessful efforts to
escape jurisdiction of the courts here,
Senator Huey P Long today aban-
doned these tactics and filed an an
swer in District Supreme Court to the
s5OO,0O0 libel suit brought against him
by Gen. Samuel T Ansell.
The suit is based on a speech made
by Senator Long in the Senate two
years ago and the subsequent disSemi-
nation of excerpts from the speech
and an explanatory" letter written by
him.
In making the speech, the Louisi-
ana Senator waived his congressional
immunity and said: Il do not claim
any privilege from this scoundrel
anywhere on earth under Gods living
sun. I invite him to sue me in any
court of competent jurisdiction, and
! will not defend the suit except on
the ground that he is a scoundrel
and a thief and a rascal and a crook,
and has been determined to be such
by an investigating committee of Con-
gress."
Despite this assertion. however, the
Senator did an about face in his an
swer and set up a defense of "abso-
lutte privilege" He claimed the state
mentS made by him were absolutely
privileged under the Constitution and
that the mailing of copies of the
speech to his constituents did not,
under the laws of the United States,
constitute any cause of action for
libel or the recovery of damages"

officials a mass Of speculation as to
where the lightning may Strike next
More designations from the A. A. A
were believed to impend.

the right?" was the question asked
in circles which earlier In his ad-
ministration interpreted the dropping
out of such conservatives as Lewis

How the dead cats" which put
dynamic Hugh S. johnson in retire
ment will react on Secretary Ickes,
for whom some Congressman have
been cunning, and Donald r. Rich
berg, whom labor union leaders call
traitor" was another question often
put-and as often unanswered.
Roosevelt Silent on A. A. A.
President Roosevelt had nothing to
say about any reports that the A. A. A.
shake-up and his letters to the Ameri
can Federation of Labor rejecting its
N. R. A. and automobile code demands
represented a swing toward conserva-
tive trends.
But that didn't stop some observers
from wondering what Undersecretary
Rexford Tugwell, presidential adviser,
might do upon returning from Florida
to find his close friend, Jerome Frank,
out of the A. A. A. through reorgan-
ization sanctioned by Secretary Wal

since he had been concentrating on
scientific work.
Chester c. Davis, A. A. A. admin
istrator, declared the withdrawal of
the men ended the matter so far as
he was concerned. He indicated Seth
Thomas, Department of Agriculture
solicitor, might make further changes.
The shake-up came with startling
Suddenness TO many A. A. A. men,
although they had previously noted
friction A member of the group
which resigned said Davis shake-up
was due to fundamental difference"
on A. A. A. policies and that others
would leave.
Friction in Milk Pacts.
One view expressed in the "left
wing" camp was that many A. A. A.
milk marketing and other agreements
were favoring professors and distrib-
utors as against farmers and con-
Sumers.
Davis, who has contended many OF
the critics were more theorists than
practical men, said the changes would
enable the administration to spend
more time on work instead "of de-
voting so much energy to maintaining
cooperation within the organization" 7"
