BATON ROUGE, June 27.-With
Earl Long succeeding to the COVER
norship, Louisiana promises to give
the Nation another political circus.
For the brother of the late King
fish, Huey P. Long, has a lot of the
characteristics that helped keep
Huey on front pages. And he has
some news-making characteristics
of his own.
Earl, who's 43, is completely un-
practicable. He doesn't have his
brothers flair for getting things his
way nor does he have his brothers
personality. But he's fearless, phys
lcally: he's Waded into some vicious
fist fights that Huey probably would
have lodged
Like Huey, Earl's an ex-traveling
salesman. He's fiercely ambitious

Former Gov. Leche, bursting with
good humor and apparently much
improved from the i'll health given

On Monetary Vote

Role for Press Session

HYDE PARK, N. Y, June 81
President Roosevelt abandoned his
temporary role of gentleman of
leisure today to hold his usual Tues
day press conference and to talk
with the chairman of the Demo-
cratic Committee of his home
county, James Townsend.
The meeting with the press pre-
sented an opportunity, if he chose
to take it, to comment on such de-
velopments as the Senate's vote to
discontinue his power to devalue the
dollar again and congressional op-
position to some of his $386O, 900 900
lending program.
Mr.. Townsend almost invariably
shows up at the Roosevelt home
while the President is in Hyde Park
and the two go over political pros
poets in normally Republican
Duchess County.
Shunts Cares Aside.
For three days the Chief Execu-
tive has isolated himself from the
cares of his Office, spending his time
.resting, driving over his rolling
wooded estate. working on his stamp
collection and catching up on his
reading.
He fished for trout yesterday with
his son, Franklin, jr., and with John
E. Mack and John E. Mack, jr., in
a brook that cuts through the Mack
Estate at South Millbrook. The
senior Mack has been his friend and
political ally for a quarter of CEN
tury.
Attends Grange Meeting.
After dinner the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt drove to nearby
Chapel Corners for a carefree eve
ming at a meeting of the local
Grange. Like any other individual
who has been member of the farm
organization for 25 years, Mr..
Roosevelt got a silver star certifi-
cate.
The President joined the Grange
In 1914, Mrs. Roosevelt in 1881.
The Chief Executive had to whis-
per the password to gain admittance
to the Grange hall, but the custom
ary secret ritual was omitted be-

Nazis reported new successes today in their campaign to surround the Baltic Sea with neutral states-the signing of a non-aggression pact with Estonia and the intialing, or preliminary signing of another with Latvia.
 Tuesday the foreign ministers of the four Scandinavian countries Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Nor wAy-meet at Stockholm to consider German foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrops offer of the same kind of pact to them.
 With Lithuania cut of from the sea by the German annexation of Memelland, those six countries are the only ones touching the Baltic, which would become Germany's first line of naval defense in wartime and across which she transports vital imports from the Nordic countries.
 The propaganda office officially announced the Latvia and Estonia developments. The overtures to Scandinavian countries were dis closed earlier in the week and it was reported at London today that before making the offers, von Rib- ebtrop had sounded out all four foreign ministers on their attitude to such agreements, should Germany make them formally.

past to return the Corridor to Ger many, which held 1t before the World war and to find an alternate rout from Poland through Lith- uania to the Baltic. Poland has nev- CT given these proposals considera- tion.
 She has, however, indicated that a change in the status of the free city of Danzig-mder Polish and League of Nations supervision since the World war-was expected and has built up the Polish port of Gdynia. Danzig is adjacent to Ea:S Prussia.
 Loss of the Corridor would make Poland an inland country. It was established by the Versailles treaty for one purpose-to give Poland a sea coast.
 Sharp Challenge Say Naxis
 Berlin, May 5-(UP)-Nazi ofi- cials regarded the speech of Polish Foreign Minister Josef Beck today as sharp challenge to Adolf Hitler, but as leaving the door open for pos Sible future negotiations on Danzig and Polish Corridor issues.
 Nazi circles were gratified that Beck did not demand 8 Polish pro- tectorate over Danzig as had been considered possible and that he did not repeat any of the extreme" de- mands which had recently been fea- tured by the Polish newspapers.
 But it was strongly doubted that Hitler would negotiate with Poland on any of the terms which the tone of Beck's speech indicated would be acceptable to Poland.
 Italy Deplores Speech
 Rome, May 5 = (UP) = Fascist circles today deplored the speech of Polish Foreign Minister Josef Beck as indicating an unyielding attitude, but hope was expressed that 8 solu- tion might yet be found in the quar- rel between Germany and the War saw government.
 The effect of Beck's denunciation of Germany'S demands on reports that Premier Benito Mussolini might be asked to mediate the controversy remained uncertain pending further study of the speech and consultation with Berlin.
 Well-informed political circles, however, expressed disappointment in the speech as being far from con- ciliatory and as showing a tendency to take an unyielding attitude.
 How Britain Feels
 London, May 5-(UP)-Poland's reply to Adolf Hitler's demands was regarded in British circles as firm but not unyielding situation.
 The refusal of Polish Foreign Minister Josef Beck to permit an- nexation of Danzig or cession of a trans-corridor highway was ex- pected but government osurces were pleased that Beck also struck con- ciliatory not by saying Poland would show good will if Germany desired to, enter negotiations.
 These twin principles are the basis of British policy and the gov- ernment, while attempting to line up an anti-aggression front, does not exclude adjustments or conces- sions to Germany if brought about by peaceful negotiations, o spokes- man said.
 France Likes It
 Paris, May 5-CUP)-The firm but courteous tone" of Polish For eign Minister Josef Beck's speech at Warsaw replying to Adolf Hitler was given whole-hearted approval today in official French quarters.
 The office of Premier Edouard Daladier termed Beck's speech a remarkable" exposition.
 Tt was firm but moderate and fundamentally energetic. based on irrefutable juridical arguments" it was stated.

military alliance-a factor fast eclipsing everything else in the con- eealing of European alliances and the race for military supremacy.
 Although Britain was occupied at the moment with an Irish crisis, the Polish Foreign Minister, Josef Beck was bringing the German-Polish dispute over Danzig to a head in a tnomentous speech to the Pollsh parliament, Halifax prepared to in- struct Sir William Seeds, ambassa- dor at Moscow, to deliver the Brit ish reply to the new Soviet Foreign Commissar, V. M. Molotov, at once.
 It was understood that Britain would sidestep Russia's request for an outright military alliance among Britain, France and Russia, and would renew the suggestion that the three powers separately proclaim their readiness to defend any east ern European countries against ag- gression.
 May Not Flatly Reject
 It was doubted, however, that Bri- tain would flatly reject Moscow's re- quest, even though it meant that Italy, Japan and Spain might rush into military alliances with Ger many, and that Poland and Ru- mania, whose integrity Britain and France have guaranteed, might turn cool to the anti-aggression bloc be- cause of their aversion to Russia.
 Chamberlain announced this morning that the government re- ceived Frances views on the Soviet proposals yesterday and that he hoped to communicate the British vews to Moscow fin the near fu- ture''. He said discussions with Russia regarding various proposals were still proceeding and that there had been no avoidable delay at any stage, on Britains part.

The spokesman said that Japanese pilots have been authorized to bomb any area in which there are Chinese defenses, regardless of the proA- imity of foreign property.
