Fy the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. l8.-Louisi-
ana's voters, regardless of who they
put in as Governor. have smashed
the only dictatorship ever estab-
lished in the United States.
Returns Of Tuesdays Democratic
primary clearly indicate the alb
solutism will be stripped from the
regime set up in Louisiana 10 years
ago by the late Huey P. Long, even
If Huey's brother, Earl K. Long, goes
in as chief executive.
Still incomplete returns from the
first primary gave Gov. Long a COM
manding lead over, Attorney Sam
Jones Of Lake Charles, but he lacked
a majority over Mr.. Jones and the
three other reform" candidates.
All indications pointed to a second
primary February 20. Gov. Long
scoffed at Mr.. Jones chances, but
said he would start q runon CAM
paign tomorrow, If necessary. Mr..
Jones planned to get back on the
stump Saturday.
Reform" Vote to Decide.
What happens in the second pri-
mary will depend largely on the dis
position of the vote polled by State
Senator James A. Noe of Monroe
and Attorneys James H. Morrison of
Hammond and Vincent Moseley Of
Opelousas.
The latest returns, from 1,112 of
the States 1,703 precincts, gave Long
157,850 votes. Jones 1O5.927, Noe 81
059, Morrison 1886 and Moseley
5,649.
Among the more significant de-
velopments Of the primary was the
lead taken by Eugene Stanley, anti
administration candidate for State
attorney general, over three oppon-
ents. His election would be an ef-
fective brake on roughshod tactics
previously employed by admins
CratlOn leaders.
Less Docile Legislature.
Another important factor in the
breakup of the dictatorship was
the election of a new Legislature
which. from all indications, will
lack the docility through which
Huey P. Long imposed his every
Whim upon the State.
A woman, Lucille May Grace
(Mrs. Fred Dent in private life),
appeared to be the only candidate
for State Office sure of nomination.
The States first elected woman
official, she sought to retain the
office of register of the State Land
Office Incomplete returns gave her
125, ,786 votes to 57,4S2 for her only
opponent, Mrs. Edith M. Frank of
New Orleans.

P.J. Kent Of Chrysler Corp, urged

DETROIT, Jan. 18.-A vision Of
future motor vehicles "winking and
blinking" the intentions Of their
operators was presented to the So
ciety Of Automotive Engineers con-
vention here today by Harry G.
Doane Of General Motors Corp, who
said there was distinct need for 4
front-view, flashing type Of automo-
bile direction signal.
Since the pedestrian must be
kept in mind as well as the mo-
torist," Mr.. Doane said, signals are
necessary at both front and rear Of
the vehicle: they must be located 30
that front signals for left and right
turns are plainly visible not only to
an approaching motorist but also
to a pedestrian standing at an inter.
section"
Front and rear signals, he added,
must have sufficient brilliance to be
visible for 100 feet In bright sun
light.
"The necessity for front signals
that must be plainly visible when
headlights are on" he said, stresses
the need for a flashing type Of
signal"

There's hardly an announcer

in which much practice time is
devoted to teaching the tongue to

The name of former President
Hoover, it seems, has tripped

theater holds ten thousand and

thousand people they produced
Iphigenia, Electra, Medea and
others of the great Greek plays.
In these she was usually the
leader of the Greek chorus.
Speaking of this experience, Mrs.
Ricketts, face lights up with the
memory, 'It was really uplifting
and Margaret Ang1in is the best
actress we have had" It is easy
to see that she loved this tour
the best. Then she married and
gave up the theater till now.
The Key West Players feel
grateful and lucky to have her
directing. Adapting herself to
her rather inexperienced cast,
she has let them find themselves
individually. Then, as they de-
velop, she brings out the spirit
and movement she wants. Mrs.
Ricketts, is not the stock director,
shouting and waving in exaSpera-
ton, but she works hard with
her cast, and is the director in
every sense of the word.
The Players wish to announce
a meeting of all members to-
night at 800 o'clock at the Art
Center. Interested visions are
always welcome.

Theatrical Experience To Players

Mrs. Rob Roy Ricketts, who is

long and varied theatrical ex-
perience.
While she was attending the

Shakespearean Company there.
Students were invited to tryout,
and Mrs. Ricketts, alone was
chosen to join the company.
After graduating from Chicago
University, and now part of the
company, she toured the eastern
colleges, playing Yale, Harvard,
Dartmouth and finally complet-
ing the tour at Wisconsin.
Less than a year out of college,
she had joined David Belasco in
New York, where she stayed for
five years. Among the stars with
whom she worked and from
whom she learned were the ia
nous Frank Craven and Taylor
Holmes, father of Phillip Holmes
the movie star. Well known
parts which she played were
Desdemona in Othello, and the
Queen Mother in Hamlet.
After this period, Mrs. Ricketts,
joined Margaret Anglin and

A kind of horseback opinion
on what is wrong with this coun-
try, it is, we have gotten away
from eating breakfast.
A faint nibble of toast is about
all our tired inwards will now
stand for at a. m.
This country when it was
growing up, it would swap some
stories in the evening, around the
fireside-witn pushed of apples
close at hand-and by 9 or 10 it
would be in bed.
And at 6 in the morning, the
aroma of bacon and the other
grand kitchen smells, they would
wait in, and they meant some
thing. They got the household
clear-eyed and clear
headed, and in a cheerful mood.
SourpuSses at breakfast time
they didn't have them.
But today it is vice versa
nothing gets steamed-up until up
around midnight. And the next
day, with a fuzzy tongue and a
muddled noggin, we are ripe for
any duck who happens along with
some new ism or recipe for Govt,
where everybody basks in the
Shade-and proSpers.
This country neeals more bacon
and eggs for breakfast.
Yours, with the low down,

years safe-guarded an adequate
seed stock of wild ducks and
geese.
There is no doubt that the
waterfowl population has in
creased. Estimates in 1885 re-
vealed that there were only about
30 million of thse birds left. To-
day migratory waterfowl in North
America number more than 55
million.
2 Referring to the alarming de-
crease in all wildlife resources
since the early days of the pio-
neers and to the type of program
necessary to conserve the various
species, Mr.. Greene pointed out
that it is neither physically pos
sible nor socially desirable to re-
store Wildlife environments to
those conditions that once exist
ed on areas now occupied by
urban and rural communities.
But we can restore our wild
life to the extent that it may
again play an important part in
our social and economic life, he
asserted.
Rare Species Conserved
The wildlife expert added that
much remains to be done, by i'm
proving environments, to better
living conditions for the wild
birds and mammals. after all'',
he said, I'VE must deal with pres
emit, not pioneer, conditions. The
type of wildlife restoration that
the Biological Survey has been
doing for many years has closely
followed this doctrine.
In the development of the ma
tional wildlife refuge system, the
Biological Survey has given spe-
cial attention to certain species
that are rare or nearing extinc-
ton. Many of these rare birds
have been protected on areas
that were established for migra-
tory waterfowl.
Several of these birds have al
ready made satisfactory recov-
cries, according to Mr.. Greene.
Striking examples are the
trumpeter swan at the Red Rock
Lakes Refuge, Mont; the Florida
crane, at the Okefenokee Refuge,
Ga: the whooping crane, at the
Arkansas Refuge, Tex; the great
white heron, at the Great White
Heron Refuge, Fla; and the ro-
seate spoonbill, at a number of
southern areas.
Other species being benefited
by the refuge system are the wild
turkey, prairie chicken, buffalo,
antelope, and bighorn sheep.
On the Great White Heron
Refuge, the Great White Heron
is the most important species pro-
tected on the area. Latest figures
show that there were 1900 Great
Whites within refuge bounda-
rieS.
Primarily a nesting and win
tering area, the Great White
Heron and Key West Refugees
recorded a total of lis birds of
all kinds last year. Among these
were nine species of herons,
White Ibis, plovers and sandpip-
ers, gulls and terms, and white
crowned pigeons. Also the Key
Deer.
With the cooperation of con-
servationists and sportsmen and
local civic organizations as we'll
as that of the many fishermen
and spongerS operating in these
waters a decided increase of
wildlife has already been noticed
within the last twelve months in
these two refugees, so that Key
West is fast becoming a mecca
for biologists, ornithologists and
nature lovers, many coming from
distant points for this purpose
