Longs Agendo Fails
To Inspire Legislature

BATON ROUGE, La, Aug.
10 (AP).-Unenthusiastic legis-
lators drifted into town today
for Gov. Earl K. Longs spe-
cial session in which anything
could happen.
The 63-year-old Governor
set 5 pm. for the start Of the
12-day meeting. Many legiSla-
tors, opposed to the session so
soon before their campaigns for
the December primary. said
they saw nothing pressing on
the agenda. One bill would
prevent airlines from firing
hostesses who marry.
Gov. Long, who spent a stren-
uous week end campaigning for
reelection. first mentioned the
possibility of the session after
he was hustled off to a GAL

he would have four bills in his
call for the session. The list
grew constantly and the final
draft listed 81 bills, including
one to make it more difficult tc
commit anyone to a mental in
stitution.
Informed sources said Gov
Longs House and Senate lead
ers would try to exercise some
control over him in the spe-
cial session.
Gov. Long planned to ad-
dress a Joint meeting of the
House and Senate three hours
after the session opened.
