Louisiana Senator Taunts Fell
low Solons In Bitter Speech
Replying To Johnson
ANSWERED BY ROBINSON
Majority Chief Declares 1t Is
Time For Manhood Of Senate
To Assert Itself

WASHINGTON, Mar. 5. WD -
Joseph T. Robinson, democratic
leader. today denounced Sen. Huey
P. Long as madman in reply
to a speech in which Long at
tackled the motives of President
Roosevelt.
"It is about time" Robinson
said, that the manhood of this
senate should assert itself"
The debate was without prece-
dent in the memory of those who
saw Long grimace today and fling
at the senate in sarcastic accents
the name Franklin Delano Roose-
velt."
Long, taunting the democratic
side with q story which likened
the administration to the remains
of dead Negro, charged that the
new deal is a mere combination
! of "Farleyism, Baruchism and
'Johnsonism."
The Kingfish was answering last
nights blistering attack of Gen.
Hugh S. Johnson who. bracketing
the Kingfish with Father Charles
f. Coughlin, likened the pair to
pied pipers" of depression who
sought to mislead 80,00O,000 trou-
bled souls.
Long said johnson was Baruch's S
mere tool, and Barucn market op-
orator and rigger who controlled the
President and had diverted him
from the path of reform charted In
1892.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt" said
Long, rolling the words on his
tongue, lashing his arms In the Pc
culiar windmill gesture which COM
pelS him to slip the buttoned con-
fines of his vest when he. really
wants to speak.
The senate stiffened as Long
spoke the name.
Half a dozen Republicans had
been chuckling over Longs sallies.
Senators l.. J. Dickson (Rep), Iowa,
Warren R. Austin CRep), Vermont,
and Daniel o. Hastings tRep), Del
aware, had joined with crowded gal
leries in appreciation of the King
flsh's wisecracking. But his refer
ence to Mr.. Roosevelt seemed to
chill the mirth.
Long spoke little of Johnson, con-
filming his attack mostly to Bernard
M. Baruch, whom he described as
the brilliant wrecker of three pre-
sidents."
"Mr. Baruch brought johnson
down here" he said. "Mr. Baruch
knew his business. He has been rsn-
ming this government before. They
established headquarters and
johnson was in before the NRA bill
ever got through congress. ~Salk

COURTS WILL
DECIDE UPON
STAR VOTES
Attorney General Declines To
Interfere Following Study Of
Heads Report

That the attorney generals Of
flee will take no action in the dis
puted irrigation district election of
February s, is indicated in advice
received here late yesterday. From
this it would appear that U. S.
Webb, attorney gs<eral, would
leave the matter entirely up to the
courts for decision without any
action on his part.
Webb had asked Elmer Heald,
! district attorney, for data covering
the district election following re-
ceipt of kilograms protesting the
casting of the so-called Star"
voter ballots. Head made this In
curry into the matter and sub
mitted all necessary information
to the state department.
On March IL the entire question
will be brought up In court when
the district will answer an alter
native writ to show cause why the
disputed ballots should not be
counted This writ was secured by
Hugh MacKinnon, attorney for F.
H. McIver and Winnie Barry, in
cumbent treasurer and assessor
collector respectively for the dis
trict who were defeated in the
election by E. N. D. Hatch and
Charles A. Bratton.
The defeated officials based their
contention on the fact that had
these Star" ballots been counted
they would have been reelected.
Hatch and Bratton will take office
on March IL. together with Ira
Aten and Charles E. Morrow,
elected directors from the Imperial
and Brawley divisions.

COMPROMISE
TALKED over
Wheeler To- Mont ommittal
Over Chances To
Settle Utility

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. R-Non-
committal ON definite chances for
d compromise, Senator Wheeler
D-Mont) called senate c~onferees
together Monday to decide their
future course OF action ON the utili-
ties bill now deadlocked In confer
ence with the house.
The general expectation was that
some form Of compromise would be
discussed. Wheeler, who already
has indicated some concessions by
administration forces might be pos
Sible, fished over the weekend with
President Roosevelt on the yacht
Sequia.
One important point to be de-
cided at Mondays meeting Of ths
senate conferees was whether they
would exclude Ben Cohen, admin
tStration attorney who helped draft
the measure, from the conferences
with the house members. Three
out Of five Of the house men have
refused to confer SO long as Cohen
was present.
When the bill was first before the
senate, Wheeler spoke Of q possible
compromise along the lines Of in
creasing the number Of holding
companies permitted In q single
system. Whether the president
would approve Of such n change
remains to be seen.
Lobby investigators, who have
been delving into the fight that
preceded congressional voting on
the utilities bill, are preparing to
continue their inquiries Tuesday,
with the senate committee seeking
evidence about a whispering cam
raign" against the president.
The house committee, its special
counsel said. will recall Bernard B.
Robinson Of Chicago for further
questioning. He was one Of those
working against passage Of the
utilities measure.
