Latin Battles Long.
Shortly before midnight the gal
cries were entertained by a debate"
in Latin-at Longs expense.
Tydings and Senator Lewis, Demo-
Graf. of Illinois. opened barrage of
questions couched in Latin. which
baf1ed not only the galleries and Of
fetal reporters, but Long.
At each Latin broadside. Long
turned successfully toward the Pres

the galleries, displaying a Sheepish
grin, but he had answers.
Once he said, If that means the

president, that only proves what I
have long contended There is too
much hidden knowledge here"
Then to a long harangue by Lewis
in the language of the Caesars, he
replied:
'sWell. that suits me-"
Long seemed to be wearying as the
early morning hours crept by, but he
was still going strong with his voice
booming through the chamber and
his arms waving as usual. He
munched chocolate bars and cheese TO
keep up his vitality.
In his first IL hours Of continuous
speaking Long had only two five-min-
ute respites.
Long nearly lost the floor once dur
ing the early evening when he asked
permission to call the roll and md
out how many Senators were willing
to stay. Vice President Garner Sug-
gested Long could ask the Senators
himself.
Calling for q list of the Senators,
Long started with Adams. Democrat,
of Colorado, but before the Senator
responded Senator La Toilette, Pro-
gressive, of Wisconsin made point
of order that for Adams to reply
would cost Long the floor.
1t stopped the lucicrous procedure
and Long continued his speech, re-
turning arair tn reading the Co1Sti-

Speech Sets Record.
Longs speech, veteran Senators
said, was by far the record for physi-
cal endurance OF the kind. Other
filihusters had lasted longer, but they
had been waged by a group Of SenA-
tors or by Senators with rest periods" !"
Longs wandering discourse roamed
from the correct way to wash turnip
greens through readings from the
Bible and Victor Hugo to q long short
story about how Vice President Garner
shot n deer from a tree and then
fell out Of the tree" He also lectured
the Senate on the Constitution and
the art Of cookery.
In addition to his desire to trouble
the administration, Long sought to
prevent the Democrats from scrapping
the Gore amendment to require Senate
confirmation of all officials in the
executive branch who draw more
than $4,000 a year. He was eager TO
see that 60 through because the ad-
fainistfation has been appointing

Vies with Shrine Parade.
To the galleries, Longs Elibuster
was a show vytng with the Shrine
parades. A large crowd stayed awake
all night to watch the Louisiaf1an and
make bets as to how long he could
last.
Among the most determined to wear
Long down so that he would be silent
for a long time were five freshmen"
Senators sitting in the back row.
Their spokesman, Senator Schwellen-
bach, Democrat, of Washington, said
they we're tired OF seeing every effort
to improve the welfare of the country
blocked and stified by the Senator
from Louisiana"
Il want to say that we shall sit
here from now on to stop the Senator
from controlling this Senate" he said.
To all such remarks, Long only
pleaded mockingly that no Senator
should leave the room, because this
Is the greatest speech ever made"
Occasionally he drank milk and cold
coffee and ate cheese of h plate Until
some Senator surreptitiously scooped
up the remaining cheese and ate 1t
himself.

Roosevelt for saying the Supreme

OLD RULE ENABLED
LONGS F|L|BUSTER
Provision for Limitation on
Debate Ended by Senate
in 1906.
NJ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senate records show a rule adopted
IN 1906 gave Senator Long, Democrat,
of Louisiana the weapon of fllibuster
which he used in his fight on N. r. A.
extension.
Before that, the rules provided that
unlimited debate could be halted by
moving the previous question. which,
If the majority desired, would bring
Q vote on the topic under discussion.
In 1906, the reference to the pre-
viouS question was omitted from the
rules. and despite frequent attempts to
eliminate dilatory tactics since then,
Senators have defended vigorously the
right to speak as long as they wished.
Data in the possession of James
Preston. Senate librarian, indicates
the first flibuster was not waged until
l841, when there was a fight over a
proposal to remove Senate printers
from Office.
One of the most famous filibusters
occurred in May, 1908. when the elder
Senator La Toilette and group of
associates fought the Aldrich-Vree-
man currency bill.
1t was then that La Toilette estab-
lished a record for one-man oratory
in the Senate. He talked for 18 hours
and % minutes, but was assisted by
IS quorum calls and records read for
him by clerks.

A steady torrent of words and a
pot -pourri of ideas went into the
making of Senator Longs fllibuster.
They flooded past the ears of dis
interested Senators-sometimes only a
handful, sometimes half of the mem
bership-and intrigued the attention
of well-filled galleries. Reporters
leaned over the press gallery rail to
listen occasionally, then eased back
to resume silent hope for the end Of
the Louisianan's fight.
Long dumped into his fllibustering
talk any idea that came to hand. He
quoted from the Supreme Court de-
cision on N. r. A, read portions of a
Victor Hugo novel.

of frying oysters, after commenting

Continuance of diplomatic rela-

was conceded there would be no
