Mrs. Long Is Familiar
With Senate Ways

Huey Longs death has brought
two persons out Of the shadow
which the Kingfish cast over
everybody associated with him.
One Is the junior Senator from
Louisiana, John Overton, and the
other Is Mrs. Long.
Let none assume, because little
was heard Of Mrs. Huey Long dur
ing the time the late Senator was
striding up and down the stage,
that it was because she was an
unimportant figure
All Of their life together, Mrs.
Long advised her husband on his
attitude concerning political and
public matters. And, what will be
hard for some to believe, he listen
ed with respect, and followed more
often than not the advice given
him.
Maybe this was due to the fact
that Mrs. Long refrained from
putting in" on all occasions.

A formal protest against the

In the District Building.
The resolution was introduced

this, which is why he paid atten-

So when the widow Of the King
fish takes her seat in the Senate
no one will have to show her the
way in and out. It will be old
stuff to her. OF course she will
miss the expert services of Earle
Christenberry, who was Huey's
secretary and who has recently
affiliated with the Townsend or
ganization, but there will be no
lack of other expert assistants
ready to lump into the harness.
One form Of attention which
Mrs. Long will not require is the

stantly surrounded Huey. This
