THE LONG, LONG TRAIL
Huey Was Ruthless
In Rise to Power
BY HUGH A. MULIIGAN

BATON ROUGE, La, June
IL. AT night a spotlight
beams down from the 34-story
Louisiana State Capitol on the
sunken garden where Huey
Long lies buried beneath his
massive bronze statue.
BY day there are flowers and
tourists and an occasional I'M

ing in awed remembrance Of
the incredible era when. every
man was promised he would be
king.-and one man almost
made it.
But night or day Huey's
stoeky shadow falls across
Louisiana, dividing its people
as it has for the last 80 years
into two hostile. politically
powerful factions: Those who
revere the late Kingfish as the
best friend the poor man ever
had. and those who remember
him as a ruthless tyrant. petty.
vulgar and vindictive.
This is the house that Huey
built. His name. his image. his
memory stamped indelibly on
the electorate. The resulting

Insurance Law
Repeal Urged

Congress is being asked to
repeal the District law requir-
ing all property fire insurance
companies to belong to the In
surance Rating Bureau Of the
District of Columbia, a private
group.
Some independent insurance
companies contend this law not
only hampers competition, but
gives the rest of the country
the impression that it is what
Congress wants. They also
complain that the Virginia law
is too restrictive.
But Senator O'Mahoney,
Democrat of Wyoming. chair
man of the Senate Antitrust
Subcommittee. declared:
THE fact that the District OF
Columbia law is as it is does not
really justify the conclusions
with respect to the Federal
Government attitude that have
been drawn by numerous peo-
pie in the industry. The Dis
trict of Columbia insurance law
antedates by far the present
rating bureau outgrowth."

New Chapter in Dynasty

New Chapter in Dynasty
When Gov. Earl Long, Huey's
younger brother, was shot full
of sedatives and flown OF to
a Texas mental clinic after two
profane and abusive speeches

NEW YORK, Oct. 30 (AP).-
The American League, having
vetoed another franchise shift
and ignoring the National
Leagues stand-pat attitude, to-

Club representatives shelved

Bill Dewitt, new president of
