the Burroughs School, because of
danger to children.

zens' Association in seeking to have

roughs group. Wilbur S. Finch, sec
retary, was instructed to write the
Commissioners of the action taken.

chairman of a committee to draft a
program of entertainment for the
Fall and Winter season.

necticut avenue near Fifteenth and
Sixteenth streets was forwarded to the

NEW ORLEANS, La, July %
U.N.SO.-Militant opposition to
Senator Huey P. Long in the
State primaries today was begin
ming to crystalline in the Bayou
State, with five Of Louisiana's
eight congressman marching at
the head of the parade.
Following series of secret con-
ferences here with anti-Long
leaders from throughout the State,
the five Representatives late yes
terday issued a signed statement
charging Senator Long with being
q "self-confessed traitor to the
party which elected him." and
announcing that the Democrats
of this State will have a complete
ticket" in the field against him.

tives Riley J. Wilson, John N.

go Support Roosevelt
Bitterly assailing Senator Longs
vehement attacks against Presi-
dent Roosevelt, the congressman
pledged their whole-hearted sup
port of the national Administra-
tion.
Referring to Senator Longs
statement in the Senate recently
that he had allowed" the five
congressman to return to Con-
greSs with the understanding that
they would be able to get Federal
relief funds for the State, the rep
resentatives declared:
$50 far as the senior United

the five Congressman making
this statement is concerned, we
denOmce it without hesitation
as wholly untrue and this to
the knowledge Of Senator Long.
Indeed, he exhausted every pO-
liticaI resource at his command
to prevent their return to Of

SUCCESS PREDICTED
Complete success for the anti
Long ticket was predicted by the
Congressman. They declared:
1--WE hazard the prediction
that this ticket, representing
ideals and principles which Mr..
Long does not and cannot
stand, will sweep the State and
end q political regime which
has been at once the disgrace
and the shame Of Louisiana
and the nation"
