smaller places, practically had
suspended business for the day.
The word passed quietly through
the army of public servants that
attendance at the funeral was ex-
pccted.
At 4 o'clock (6E.D.T.) this after
noon the Rev. Gerald l.. X. Smith,
who gave up his pulpit to become
a leader In Longs share-the-wealth
movement, will preach the funeral
eulogy over the casket. 1t then
will be lowered in the yawning
grave diggers who worked into the
night.
1t was Smith who stood over the
hospital bed in which Long lay
dying Tuesday morning and MUIR
INJURED: May God have mercy-in
the name of the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Ghost"
Faces of the thousands who filed
past the bier were studies. Many
wore grins and their owners COM
mented soto voce to companions
concerning the nature of death.
Some were black; some were SOL
emn; a few looked grieved; very
few showed tears.
While the citizens and the job
holders marched in single file, four
men were comforting in the gov
errors office upstairs. They were
Gov. o. X. Allen, nominal head,
following Longs death, of the
Long political empire-dictator by
succession; Lieut.. Gov. James Noe,
Seymour Weiss, president of the
New Orleans dock board, and
Smith.
Work for Dictatorship
They, the chief leaders Of the
job holders and politicians COM
prising the Long organization, were
working out means of keeping the
dictatorship intact. 1t was under
stood they were working out plan
to argue in all future political
speeches that the political forces
opposed to Long plotted Long )
death and used DR.. Carl A. Weiss,
the slain assassin, as tool.
The piles of flowers and wreaths
around the bier were interesting
studies. There were few from pri-
yate citizens. Many were tied by
blue and pink ribbons in which the
names of donors were embossed In
gold. Some of the inscriptions
read: "In loving tribute: state au-
ditors' office; Rest in peace,
friends of seventh ward, Jefferson
parish Members of the Grim
inal Identification bureau" Board
of commissioners, port of New Or
leans:" School board, Jefferson
parish" Jefferson parish police

capital and millions craned their
necks skyward, thrilled at the
spectacle of the Reich's new power

Immediately in the wake of the
huge bombers, visible from afar
as recent in design and destruc-

double-wing scouting machines.
Crowds Watch
The whole armada circled and
recircled the city, drowning the

Alleged attempts of Judson L.
Stark, former prosecutor, and the
Real Silk Hosiery Mills manage
ment to organize workers at the
silk mill, are under attack today by
the Central Labor Union.
Meeting last night the union
branded the proposed organization
as reorganization of the former

charged an attempt to deceive Fed
eral officials charged with enforce
ment of the law.
Mill workers were urged to Join
the American Federation of Hosiery
Workers, affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
Mr.. Stark said he had been re-
tanned by Real Silk employees to re-
organize the old Employees Mutual

ence, he said, the company has di-
vorced itself completely from the
new organization and the name has
been changed to the Workers Co.

GENEVA, Oct. Colleague of Ma

through diplomatic negotiation or
economic pressure, it was indicated
today.
All doubt that League penalties
will be effective against Italy has
been dissipated from League lead
ers' minds. 1t was announced Off

ready to apply the two most drastic
penalties now in mind-a complete
boycott of Italian products and
stoppage of key products to Italy.
Thirty-eight nations have applied
the arms embargo against Italy.

1t is believed that Great Britain
