Huey's Widow, Native Hoosier, Named
to Serve Unexpired Term Of Kingfish
Friends Expect She Will
Continue Battle for
'Share-Our- Wealth.

50 United Press
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. Friends
of Mrs. Huey P. Long, appointed to
serve the unexpired Senate term Of
her slain husband, believed today
that she will attempt to revive his
Share-our- wealth movement and
follow his independent policies.
Receiving flowers and messages of
congratulations by hundreds today
in the $4,000 home her husband
left her, Mrs. Long refused to dis
cuss her policies. She will go to
Washington within few days to
become the country's third woman
Senator.
Mrs. Long is a native of Greens
burg. Ind
Reviews OF her recent past UNI
covered little to help those inter-
ested in her future conduct, for she
had remained in the background of
Longs career for several years. but
observers recalled with new inter-
pretations that she had obtained
clear title to copyrights, patents and
the mailing list of his Share Our
Wealth Clubs.
When Long was making his first
meteoric assaults on Louisiana po-
litical redoubts Mrs. Long, prefer
ring domestieity, proved herself a
capable political worker. Long re-
peatedly attributed his first election
successes to her.
Reared Three Children
In Washington. with the assets of
the Share Our Wealth organization
and with the congressional mail
Thanking privilege at her command,
she may decide to seek power on
her own account, friends believed.
Long built the Share Our Wealth
clubs through use of the ranking
privilege, employing large staff to
maintain contacts. He claimed
10000. 900 members. The Rev. Ger
aid L. K Smith, his principal aid,
has worked hard to keep the clubs
alive since the Kingflfish was slain.
The magic of the Long name might
rejuvenate them.
Aside from reorganization of the
Share-Ou Wealth clubs, no one
among either the Long factions
friends. or enemies could predict
with any plausibility what Mrs.
Long would do. She is a woman of
polished manner and great personal
charm. She has three children
whom she reared almost alone while
the Kingfish fought his later po-
litical wars She has had small
part in public affairs.
1t was possible TO assume. and
many did. that the Long machine
had not appointed a successor to

paigns.
Leaders Of the Long faction were
jubilan. ss Mrs. Longs appointment.
They had been worried by the I'M
planned elevation of Noe, former
Lieutenant Governor, by the death
of former Gov. o. K. Allen. Today
they accepted him as a dependable
wheelhorse.
Most enemies of the machine
adopted an attitude of tolerance.
Frank j. I.ooney, Shreveport at
tcrney, who unsuccessfully opposed
Allen for Longs senatorial place in
the recent primary, said that she is
"a fine little woman and if I had to
select somebody from that crowd
would rather pick her than any one
elSe.''

BONUS PAPERS
STILL POUR IN
Veterans Office Here Kept
Busy Filing, Checking
Applications.

Bonus applications from Indiana
World War veterans now living in
other states and from Hoosier ex-
servicemen, today kept the United
States Veterans Bureau, regional
office, on Cold Springs-rd, busy fill
ing, checking and certifying them.
Warnings were reiterated by John
H. Ale, regional manager, that vet
Grams be sure the fingerprints on the

identification purposes.
Applications being received from
outside the state are from veterans
who made loans on their policies
through the Indianapolis regional

plications here, they are to be sent
to the United States Veterans Bu-
eau in Washington, SO that finger
prints can be checked with Navy

Mr.. Nelson described the diff
culties encountered by the farmer
dairyman in getting fair price for
mis- milk.
IF any one can sell milk for 8
cents instead of 9 he should be al
lowed to do so, as long as the dis
tributor makes fair profit" he
said.
After Mr.. Nelson's charges, the
Federation adopted resolution
calling for series of meetings be-
tween distributors, producers and
consumers to iron out the present
difficulties SO a fair retail price can
be established.
Chief Morrissey described the
new traffic stickers and the oper-
alton of the police department.
Lieut.. Albert G.. Parrot explained

partment. Paul c. Wetter presided.

The present board, Mr. Nelson
charged, is comprised of persons in
terested personally in the milk
business instead of being high
grade neutral board. Heads of two
co-operatives are drawing large sal
aries at the expense of the con-
sumner, Mr.. Nelson said.
Milk prices should be estab-
lished on the scientific basis of
butterfat content instead of the ar
bitrary four grades which now are
being used" he continued. Under
the present classifcations the
farmer is exploited on one hand and
the consumer on the other.
''Ice cream, butter and condensed
milk manufacturers as well as dis
tributors pay different prices for the
same milk. This levies tribute on
the small producer under the check
off system.

LAW TO BLAME
FOR CRIME, is
N0LAN'S BELIEF
District Attorney Aims at
Partisan Politics in
Address.

Failure of the law to provide for
security Of the masses and the as
ISOLATION of. partisan politics with
prosecutions largely is responsible
for lawlessness today. Val Nolan
United States district attorney, be-
lieves.
In an address before the Indiana
Prosecutors Association last night in
the Claypool, Mr.. Nolan warned
that if prosecutors are not inter-
ested in honesty and justice war
must be waged on the prosecutor. "
If prosecutors in Indiana had
built up an abiding faith that prose-
cutions are invariably courageous,
intelligent and indiscriminate, we
would not be embarrassed by the
sordid spectacle of the armed Ma
tional Guard supplanting civil
authorities in four great counties of
Indiana" Mr.. holland said.
Hits Partisan Force
I'm popular government, the close
convention off administration of
criminal justice with partisan
politics is an inherent obstacle to
enforcement of criminal law.
THE prosecutor can not expect
unbiased, indiscriminate law en-
forcement from police officers and
judges unless he performs his duties
without dictation or influence from
partisan politics.
"One discrimination in favor of a
political friend, one refusal to prose-
cute a case that should be prose-
cuted, one unwarranted dismissal OF
an indictment, one groundless rec
ommendation for a suspended SEN
tece is all that it takes, in my
opinion, to destroy a prosecutors
self-respect and all hope of COM
pletely successful tenure of office.
Up to Prosecutor
"This building into a community
of the consciousness that neither
political nor personal interest can
reach the prosecutor in any case, is
the primary and important job of
any prosecuting officer.
And if the prosecutor is indif-
ferent to attaining that record, in
dividual liberty must not be Sacri-
feed because of his indifference, but
a triumphant war on crime must be
assured, by waging war on the
prosecutor.
Solicitude for the individual leads
to minimum regard for the gen.
eral security and and security of So
cial institutions and to reliance
upon strictly regulated punitive JUS
tice, hampered at all points by
checks and balances and technical
obstacles.
Think in Terms of Society
This emphasis has made for in
creased individual self assertion
which the 18th century taught lis
was the end to be promoted by the
legal order, and is making for con-
scious and aggressive self-assertion
at a time when the general secur-
ity demands that we think more of
an ordered society and less of in
dividual freedom to do in all things
as one pleases"
Pointing out the colonial rebel
lions, disregard of fugitive slave laws
and riots in the early history of la
Dor organization, Mr.. Nolan denied
that today there is more inherent
disregard for law than at other
times in history.

Decision.

L tWtS GDfCtNb
CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-With an early
season record of five victories and
one defeat in non-conference tits,
Indiana University's basketball
players frightened tAeir belts today
and prepared to meet Michigan at
the Wolverine Ann Arbor camp
Monday.
The lone "black mark" came last
night when De Paul's Demons sur
priSed the Crimson squad, 35 to 81,
before 5000 spectators in the Chi
cago Stadium.
The teams matched basket for
basket during the first half. which
ended with De Paul holding a. 90
to-19 edge. Led by Adams, the
Chicago combination began hitting
long shots, and soon had a seven
point margin early in the second
chukker
1t was Indiana's turn to counter
attack, and Lester Stout and Joe
Plat reduced the lead to 27-to-25.
In the crucial minutes, however, the
Crimson outfit could not gain pos
session of the ball as De Paul played
safe.
After slowing down the pace the
Demons, increased their margin by
2 points and breezed to victory.
Cunning carried the brunt of the
Indiana attack with five baskets
and one free throw Adams, of De
Paul, accounted for the same num-
Der, and his teanmate, Yost,
gained individual scoring honors
for the evening with five buckets
and three charity losses.
