Morgan in Louisiana
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2l.-
Chances of the old regular Demo-
cratic organizations drawing q
gubernatorial winner In louisiana s
second Democratic primary appeared
today to lie in It's success In strength
ening Lewis L. Morgan's bid for the
ONCE with former followers Of the
late Huey Long.
Late unofncial and incomplete re-
turns give James H. Davis, Shreve-
port song writer, an edge 81 more
than $4,000 votes over Mr.. Morgan
In the flrst primary.
Possibly dimming the significance
Of Mr.. Davis lead was the signed
statement last night of State Sem
ator Ernest Clements, who said he
is pitching in with Mr.. Morgan.
Senator Clements said that despite
his own failure to rate the second
primary, scheduled for February 20,
he Is satisfied that Morgan Is q
firm believer. in the principles Of
Senator Huey p. Long, which
principles I have advocated through
out my political life"
Old regular headquarters here an
nounced last night that they are
hopeful the vote of Representative
James H. Morrison will also come
their way.
Davis headquarters expressed con-
fidence thei0candidate would stam-
pede Mr.. Morgan in the showdown
contest with the aid of the COM
bined vote of independent candi-
dates who failed to survive Tues
days first primary.
The latest count in the first pri-
mary u.295 Of 1876 precincts re-
portingo gave Mr.. Davis 116,075
votes; Mr.. Morgan, 100,622; Mr..
Morrison, 42503; State Senator
Dudley J. Leblanc, 24,8lO; Mayor
Sam Caldwell of Shreveport, 23,276:
Senator Clements. 11,62S; Vincent
Moseley OF Opelousas, 1891. and
Lee Lanier Of Amite, 1,243.

tenant Governor contest are Earl K.

led in 1899 precincts with 126, 1884

Rankin Asks Tax Suit
AGAINST Field Estate

Representative Rankin, Democrat,
OF Mississippi demanded in the
House yesterday that the Internal
Revenue Bureau institute proceed
ings against Marshall Field to COL
lect inheritance or income taxes on
a $40 900 900 estate he said Mr.. Field
inherited in September, 1943.
II am going to demand that the
Attorney General of the United
States bring suit for the collection of
these taxes and prosecute those pro-
ceedings through the Supreme Court
of the United States. If necessary"
Mr.. Rankin said, adding:
Il know there was an attempt to
sidestep the Government and to
cheat the United States out of these
taxes through shrewd scheme of
some lawyers who prepared the will
under which he received this money.
But every dollar of it is subject
to the income or inheritance tax
now. Instead Of using his money to
finance that Communist publication
known as PM. let him turn it into
the Federal Treasury to help finance
the winning of this war"
Rubber may be synthetic, but the
will to victory must be genuine.

In Our Mail Bag

The Editor:
After seeing the glaring headlines
of, "War against dogs" all dog low
ers were very grateful to see BE
kind to animals week"
But one asks, why just one
week." Every day we read how the
dog is doing heroic work in this
terrible war, where men are fighting
against men. Adolph Hitler once
ordered, Kill all dogs" remember?
When humanity is i'll treated they
turn against the aggressor, but the
dog cannot, for if he does, the cry
soon goes out, MAD dog"
If the dog is kept comfortable,
given food and water he will repay
you. The dog is the one unselfish
friend that man can have in this
selfish world. The dog never de-
serts his Master, so why desert him?
The Lord knows, we need the
friendship of our dogs as much as
we need the singing of the birds.
