BY EARL B. STEELE 1885, by United Press)

New Orleans, La.. Sept. 10 - (UP)-Senator Huey P. Longs death threw his all powerful po- litical machine into confusion to- day.

Allen would resign, per mitting Lieut.. Gov. James Noe tt succeed him. Noe then would appoint him United States senator to succeed to the seat vacated by Longs death.
 At Jackson barracks. three com panies of National Guard awaited a summon to the capital where the sub-leaders of the Long organiza- tion were taking every precaution against any untoward move by the Square Deal association, or other militant anti-Long leaders.

 Washington. Sept. 10-(U.P.)- Death struck smashing blow at the radical political movement in the United States to-day when Sen- ator Huey P. Long died in Q Baton Rouge hospital mumbling of his college boys.
 Long died as he lived, with the eyes of a nation upon him. From coast to coast the kingfish left his impress.
 The capital and wise men of politics throughout the country some in fear and many in hopeful confidence--await now the first echoes of the collapse in Louisiana of political machine the like of which had not been known in this country since reconstruction days of the south when individuals did rule states as dictators according to their whims and ability.
 Menace to President
 Long was the greatest individual menace to President Rooseveit's control of the agrarian south and midwest. He had forged the big gest and the most likely wedge to be driven betwen the new deal democracy and the so-called solid southland he knew 1t.
 From Maine to California, the man from Louisiana had a follow ing. In the east 1t was a small, pro- testing. unhappy minority. Tn Louisiana 1t was the state. In the far west 1t was an impotent, in- terested audience.

HOPKINS TURNS
 DOWN PROJECTS

Washington. Sept 10-UP)- Works Relief Administrator Harry l.. Hopkins today struck sharply against proposed PWA projects as part of the federal program to end the dole by Nov. by rejecting nearly 1000 involving potential ex- penditures of about $750. 900 ,000.
 Hopkins. the former New York social worker who controls the purse strings on the $4.000. .000, ,000 public works fund, turned the ap- plieations down after they had been passed to him tentatively ap- proved, by PWA Administrator Harold l.. Ickes.
 Most of them, ofiicala said, were rejected either because the labor costs per man were too high or because they were thought eco- nomically impractical now.

Sanitartum. There he had battled against death for 30 hours after Dr. Carl A. Weiss shot him down in the $5,0O0,000 state capitol which Long had erected as a monument of his amazing career.
 Fight Has Already Begun
 Long was barely dead when his enemies began the fight to exter- minate his political organization, and his friends began jockeying to succeed to the throne. The burial of the senator's youthful assassin 12 hours before was attended by honors which indicated some sec- tions of the Louisiana population already regarded him as a martyr.
 A light flashed on and off, dark ening momentarily a window of the sanitarium. It was signal to relatives outside that the man who aspired to become president of the United States advocating 8 program of sharing the wealth, was dead. Immediately a door opened and Abe Shushan stepped into a corridor crowded with Long's political followers. Senator Long Is dead" he an- nounced, breaking down before the last word left his lips.
 shushan financed Long's first po- litical campaigns and is among the Long politicians awaiting trial on indictments charging income tax frauds.
 Over his shoulders, could be heard the hysterical sobbing of Mrs. Long. A moment later. a broken figure, she appeared in the door on the arm of her 20 year old daughter, Rose. who was dry-eyed, serenely composed. Next from the room came Gov. O. K. Allen and Lieut.. Gov. James Noe. then Long's sons, Russell. 16, and Palmer Reid. 12; then two of his brothers. George and Earl. and two of his sisters. Mrs. Stuart Hunt and Mrs. R. B. Knott.
 Governor In Tears
 After the relatives had gone out into the rain Gov. Allen. tears streaming down his cheeks. issued an oral statement that formally eulogized his chief.
 An hour later the first move in the scramble for succession was re- ported. Gov. Allen. 1t was believed. will resign. permitting Lieut. Gov. Noe to succeed him. Noe then will appoint Allen to succeed to Longs senate seat.
 Long was alternately delirious and unconscious during his last night of life while the best physi- clans in Louisiana labored desper- ately. trying every means. to save him. He received five blood trans fusions. Four tanks of oxygen were used. Adrenalin and ephedrine were injected hypodermically to bolster his heart. All without avail.
 Gov. Allen saw him three hours before death.
 Move over. Oscar" he whis- pered. Let me breathe".
 The tent was lowered again and more oxygen pumped into it.
 A few minutes before death. which came at that hour of the morning when human vitality Is the lowest, Long was conscious and rational.

to whip Gregory. The selection
will be subject to the approval Of
Captain Arneld.
Policeman Mcdonald is about 6
feet Q inches tall and weighs about
225 pounds.
The instrument to be used in
the whipping will be chosen by
Capt. John Arnold, chief of police.
Gregory elected this form Of
punishment for his act as an
alternative to a sentence of IL
months labor on the State roads.
He was given his choice by Judge
James Reese Duncan, of police
court.
Not In State Law
The Judge explained that there
is no Virginia law providing pub"
lie whipping as punishment for
any illegal acts, but pointed out
that he had offered the thrashing
as an alternative to a penalty pro-
vided in the law, and that the
guilty man had agreed to sign a
release in accepting the whipping.
Mr.. Gregory's wife, Jean, 19.
also was found guilty with her
husband, and was first sentenced
by the same judge to serve six
months in one of the State penal
institutions for women. Later,
however, the judge reduced the
Wcmen'S sentence to 60 days.
Mr.. Gregory explained that he
would take the beating because
he had a job and if he had to go
to jail he would lose his work and
could not furnish funds for his

WEALTH TAX
THIS WEEK
DOOMED
Finance Committee Held UpbY
Treasury's Inability to
Prepare Schedules
international News Service


Enactment of President Roose-
velt's tox-on-wealth program by
Saturday night became a virtual
impossibility today.
This developed when the Sen
ate Finance Committee adjourned
without formally reporting the
new schedules because Treasury
tax exr 2rts have been unable to
complete details.
Experts Quit at Dawn
The experts worked until dawn
to complete the complicated Ian
guage of the legislation, but finally
YEARLY gave up until today.
. Senator Harrison CD of Mis-.
sissippis chairman of the Finance
Committee, said he would not
call up for consideration in the
Senate today the pending emer-
gency tax extension resolution to
which he intends to attach the
Presidential program.
Administration leaders were re-
luctant to discuss the delay, but
privately conceded it was appar'
emily impossible to enact Mr..
Roosevelt's share-the-wealth pro-
gram by Saturday.
Delays Costly to Government
The emergency taxes will ex-
pire on June 80, so that every
day of delay in enacting the new
program as a part of the emer'
gency extension resolution will
cost the Government nearly a
million and a half dollars.
Senator Harrison announced
he would drive forward as speed
lily as possible on the program.
Meanwhile, Speaker Byrns said
Congress will be forced to stay
in session for two to three
months longer if plans to rush
the Presidents tax program are
abandoned.
If the five hundred and one
million dollars selected sales and
nuisance taxes are continued tenn
porarily-giving Congress a little
more time on the Presidents pro-
gram-Congress can adjourn in
two or three weeks, he said.
Mr.. Byrns favors originating a
new resolution continuing the
five hundred and one million dol
lars taxes for a 80 to 60-day period
so that threatened loss of enc mil
lion five hundred thousand dollars
a day revenue if the taxes expire
June 80, can be avoided. The
present tax resolution would be
retained in the Senate so that
the Presidents program could be
a rider" to it. He said:
eff the House Ways and
Means Committee will bring out
a continuing resolution, which
