LOuisianans Jeer Gerald Smiths Claim
 That He Can Swing Millions Of Votes
Pastor Merely a Paid Organizer For Long,
 Critics Assert

many of them have repeatedly taken the floor. Co pledge their support Go Roosevelt.
 PAID ORGANIZER ONLY
 smith came into the Auey Long camp originally as 0 paid organ- lEer hired by Long because of his record as an aggressive and ora. torloal preacher in Shreveport.
 When h0 first attached himself Co Long, he was 90 little known that newSpapermen mistook him for one of Longs bodyguards. smith sued newspapers that 90 referred to him,
 smiths opportunity came when he was chosen to preach the fu- neral oratlon over Longs body. He made no secret of his effort to ems ualte Mare Anthony,
 Immediately thereafter he began on aggressive speaking campaign aimed at establishing himself as heir to Long. He started out in sup. port of James A. Noe as political successor to Long, but repudiated this stand and later backed Lecho.
 Keen political observers say Smith was certain to go elsewhere as soon aS the Long machine kissed and made up with the national Demo- cratic administration. For it was only by attacking Roosevelt that he could gain the prominence needed for his ambitions to be leader in the national field.
 But as to the extent of his na. tional following outside Louisiana, there Is absolutely no way to check, Smith says 1t is e,000,000.

SPECIES PUZZLE
 STATE FISHERMEN
Science Tracing Mysteri. Ous Moves of Striped
 Bass Officials Report

Hartford.-Microspopic annuli, or growth rings, on the scales of striped boss are, providing science with new data explaining for the first time mysterious movements of tho Ash which have puzzled Connecticut fishermen for generations, the state board of fisheries and game an. nounoed today.
 The growth rings, being studied at the Mantle river by Daniel Mer- riman, Yale scientist in an inves- tigation of the bass for the board, correspond to the growth rings of trees. Studied under microscope, the annuli reveal the age of the Ash, rate of growth and whether 1t goes south In winter or Is 6 Connecticut resident.
 "If c bass spends most of It's time in warm water-going south In win. ter-it grows fast and tho space be- tween the rings is wide. The reverse is the case if it spends its time in colder waters along southern New England shores.
 "This latter condition has proved to be the case in but little moro thar. ten per cent of the scales eX- amined thus far. This is Q good in- dication that the large majority of striped bass found in Connecticut waters go sout'l in winter" Merri- man declares.
 py means of netting, tagging and releasing over 800 of the fish ct Mantle river, data indicating the time of bass migrations is also be- ing compiled. Based on returns by fishermen of about eight per cent of the numbered tags, 1t is apparent that the spring migration north- ward arrives in April and moves on toward Rhode Island through May and June.
 Over ninety per cent of the bass examined Up to early July were found to be females, however, Mer- rinan reveals. Recently the per- centaRe of males has been increas- ing and it is indicated that females make up the bulk of the early ni- gYation with the malee following along in a haphaEard manner there- after.
 "rn the summer months interven. ing between northward and south' ward migratlons of striped bass. the fish probably move about from Mantle waters to some extent. These shorter movements are shown In the recent recovery from the Thames river of number of bass Jagged at Niantic," Merriman re- lports.
 since the investigation wal launched in April, tag returned from Newport, Rhode Island. mark the farthest distant point of re. covery. Tag No. 2S1 has been recov. cred twice at Point Judith, Rhode Island, after being attached to tws successive fish. It E now afzlxed t c third bass.

Kinyfish's Supporters Deny Minister Is
 Huey's Heir
By NEA Service

New orleans, Aug. iS. - Resent. ment Is beglnsng to dlsplaee mild AmaEement ln Louisiana at the picture of the Rev. Gerald Lyman Kenneth smith gradually edging his way toward the drivers seat oG the Townsend bandwagon,
 At first people here were mildly astonlshed at the idea of the for. mer Long organizer attaching hlm- self to pr. Townsend and selling the old age pension leader on the ldea that he, Smith, could swing 0,000,000 votes to Q Townsend. Couhglin coalition.
 Now Smiths claims are being analysed. Earle J. Christenberry, for many years secretary to the late Huey Long, has bitterly attacked Smiths pretenSlons in Q radio talk. Mrs, Long, U. 8. senator and widow of the late Huey, has repeatedly given assurance that her husband never indicated that Smith was to be his successor.
 The American Progress" ofn. clal newspaper organ of the "Share- Our. Wealth" movement, has urged its readers to pay no attention to such claimants as Smith, pointing out that Huey himself repeatedly assailed the Townsend movement while> in the .. 8, Senate.
 LACKS OFFICIAL STANDING
 Most observers here admit that Smith, whose status In the shares Our Wealth movement under Long was that of paid organizer, rec tainS some personal following in the state. But this has no connection with the Share.O Our Wealth organ- iEation which was Huey Longs leg. acy to American politics,
 Shortly after the death of Huey Long, Christenherry copyrighted the name, trademark, and all other data connected with the ShNre- Our.Wealth organization and turn. ed them over to Rose Mcconnell Long, the widow, who took Huey's seat in the senate,
 Mrs. Long, commenting on Smiths connection with the Snare. our-Wealth movement, said, "The Rev. MT. Smith was not designated by Senator Long as his successor and he Is not now Q ShRre-our- Wealth organizer. He may still take interest in the organization, but his activities are not authorized by the organization"
 AUTHORITY IS DENIED
 Christenberry was even more emphatic in his radio denial that Smith had any standing with tho present Share. Our. Wealth move. ment in Louisiana,
 He referred to Smith aS "a DO. litically ambitious windbag," and produced Q string of receipts for the S060.a.week salary which Smith was paid as Hueys organizer, "The only paid organizer" ChriStenberry pointed out. Longs former secre-

 From Iowa Into Nobility
 If you feel that the doings of American girls who marry Flu. ropean titles are either interest- ing or important, you may find a good deal of diversion in "The Countess From Iowa" Putnam: $3), written by Lille de German. deE. .Agabal, formerly the Countess NostitE and still earlier mid dle- western gal named Lille Bou. ton.
 Lille made 6 hit on the stage long enough ago to hear Q pro. ducer announce solemnly that 0 gangling girl named Ethel Barry more would never be an actress and married Q German baron.
 After several years of married life In Germany, where she met Kaiser Wilhelm and was pedanti. cally lectured on the women'S. place. -is- tin. .the-home theme, she divorced her husband to marry the very rich Count NoStitS Of Russia.
 For the next decade or 30 she was glamorous lady In toplofty European society, the ceaseless intrigues and pretty meannesses of which she reveals with engaging frankness. And indeed, her book does much the same thing that Briffault's "Europia" did, minus the orgies; 1t exhibits Q society which was utterly pointleSS and diSoriented, the useless ornament of a world which was riding for Q colossal crack-up.
 "BatalliOn of Death"
 That crack.up she witnessed at first hand, in Russia. She knew the intellectual czar and his In. competent and corrupt ministers, met Rasputin (the man had q powerful eye, 1t seens), heard Lenin and TrotSky harangue the crowd, saw the coup d'etat by which they seized power, heard the screams which went up to heaven when the famous wom. ems battalion of death" was overpowered by BolsheVik sol- diers, and finally fled from Rus. sia with the family jewels.
 Her husband finally died, and she married a Spanish nobleman, finding the ordered peace and quiet of Spain very restful after Russia. One wonders what she thinks of the place now.

Wealth movement should he found up alongside the drivers scat In the Townsend movement,
 Louisiana was surprised recently" said the Progress, ito learn that Gerald Smith had joined the forces of 'Send-M -Me-a- a-Quarter' Townsend, tho California pension advocate whose scheme was openly denounc. cd by the late Huey P. Long, both on tho floor of tho senate and In letters mailed to thousands of fol- lowers throughout tho nation.
 Look out, Gerald, don't lot those fellows make Q sap out of you. Don't forget, Huey Long denounced the Townsend plan, and Coughlin threw out share.o Our Wealth" Tho same paper followed later with on appeal to readers not to follow "self -styled friends of Sen ator Long who have aligned them. selves with Q two-bits-a.month scheme"
 LAUGH AT e,OOO,OOO CLAIM
 Smiths repeated claims that e,00o,0oO people have written hin, and acknowledged him as leader since Huey Longs death, have raised many Q smile in Louisiana.
 In the first place, the entire population of Louisiana, man woman and child, Is little above 100000. Tho only accurate oSti' mate of tho number of voters ad- herring to the Share.0ur- Wealtl, banner in Louisiana may be made from the last election of gover- nor.
 The lines were definitely drawn between Long and anti-Lons forces with the Long forces run ming e Share.O Our Wealth ticket About 500,000 votes were cast. Oi these the Long and Share-Our' Wealth forces got about 3b0iO0O leaving i60,00o for the opposition
 There is no known way to tell what support for the Share-Our- Wealth idea may have been gar' nered by Smith outside Louisiana But estimates of the movement during the height of Huey Longs powers never exceeded 100000 CAN'T DELIVER VOTES
 Even Louisianas votes are by nc means deliverable to Lemke's Union Party by Smith or anybody else , When Gov. Richard w. Leche re- gently made his political peace witl' Jim Farley, he gave assurance thai the state organization built by HueS Long would go 100 per cent fol Roosevelt.
 The present state organization 1: not quite synonymous with thu Share -Our-W Wealth group, but Lech' has been most positive in his dec' larations that though Smith un. doubtedly still has some persona following in Louisiana" his person al influence could not possibly af' feet the result in the coming cleo ton.
 Color is lent to Leche's assertion by the fact that there are 26 mem bers of the state legislature electe' on the Share Our Wealth pro gram, some of them even in oppo' sltion to the state administration Every one of them participated 1T a junket to the Texas Centennia !! to greet President Roosevelt, ane
