A POLITICAL PHENOMENON
Story Of Louisiana Longs
Is Finally Told in Full

related only by marriage, on
the State payroll.
The explanation for their
success seems more that the
Longs, originally a poor fam
lily from the hills of Winn
parish, of the species called
redneckS (of which Huey was
quite proud had a natural
fair for politics. None had
the political virtuosity of
Huey, but all knew how to
appeal to the voters, at least
to those outside the wicked
sophiStication of New Or
leans.
The present Senator, Rus
sell Long, revereS the memory
of his father, but his ways
are much more dignified and
less spectacular. Mr.. Martin
comedies that the Senator
is IAN able and conscientious
legislator" but points out
that he has yet to introduce
a major measure in the Sen
ate. He has worked his way
up the Senate committee
ladder and one day may ex-
ert genuine influence in that
body. But no one would Sc
riously compare his doggedly
. earnest methods with the
flash and fire that character
lied the Kingflsh's STYLE"
Saint or Sinner
This probably is just as
well. And yet Huey Long is
still considered by a good
many LouiSiananS a sort Of
political saint.
Actually the late Senator
and Governor, whatever his
motives and however, de-
plorable his methods, did a
lot for his State. Free school,
books and bus service, night
schools. a new State capital,
medical and dental schools
at the State university and
many fine new college build
ings and excellent highways
these are some of his me-
MORALS.
A Revolutionary
"Huey," Mr.. Martin COM
ments, was a revolutionary
who appeared at a time when
revolutions - economic, po-
litical and social-were fash
ionable."
Despite the shattering
scandals that followed the
performan of Huey's
stooges after his death,
Longism persisted quite a
while. But now, the author
feels, it is fading fast. THE
Legislature. for one thing, is
no longer a rubber stamp. :"
Mr.. Martin. a former news
paperman, now a free-lance
writer living in Dallas, has
made a valuable contribution
to political Americana.

TROM Yorks Market street, which
carries a flood of east-bound traf-
fic, it is just a few steps back to the
American Revolution.
If you enter the York County His
torical Society building, you will pass
through door that is all that remains
of the old Court House where the Con-
tinental Congress met during the Revo-
luton. 1t is on a village square of the
late 17OOs.
There you will find the old village
street light close by the village pump.
And you can visit the old apothecary
shop, the Woodworking shop and the
village fire house.
You'll see toy shop with play
things of the 18th century, and house
lighted with softlyglowing candles.
And just around the corner, you can
examine one of Pennsylvania famous
Conestoga wagons.
The area around York was the "arsen-
al of the Revolution" and the Cones
togas rolled over mud roads to supply
the Revolutionary armies. They also led
the parade toward the West, hauling as
much as six tons of freight over the rut-
ted roads.
The Conestoga is not the vehicle of
television's Wagon Train" Its driver
handled his six-horse team from horse
back, instead of from wagon seat, and
the brakeman often rode "jump-seat"
at the side of the wagon.
During the heyday of the Conestoga
wagon, in the mid-18OOs, special breed
of horse became known as the Conestoga
The origin of the Conestoga horse has
been lost, but one legend has it that

william Penn sent three Flemish stall
lions into the Conestoga Valley, where
they were mated with horses from
Virginia to produce the special breed
And ifyou are lucky during your visit.
you may hear music played on one Of
the finest old American organs still In
existence.
The Tannenberg organ, built in 1904
for Christ Lutheran Church, has been
described by E. Power Biggs, one Of
Americas foremost organists, as one Of
the finest old pipe organs in the land.
Ironically, its builder, David Tannen-
berg, died three days after it was COM
pleted, and never heard its tones.
For nearly $50 years, its strains &C.
companied worshipers in Christ Church.
Until it was reconditioned and installed
in the society's museum, it was stored
in the loft of barn in York.
J. william Stair, society vice presi-
dent, who is interested in building the
groups music section, says the Tannen-
berg organ is one of the most valuable
possessions of the society.
Portions of recent record album by

we're played on the Tannenberg. And
Mr.. Biggs has planned additional con-
certs on the organ.
All the historical exhibits in the
museum are local, although many re-
late to the national historical pattern.

Clellan says nothing is placed on exhibi-
ton until it has been determined to be
authentic.

lum while the native Cubans still
went without shoes.
Cuba was soon invaded by bust
nessmen from The Dominion of
Canada and the United States
who established their own banks
to handle their lucrative business
at a minimum of labor cost.
The North Americans were not
in Cuba for their health, Their
business improved the lot of the
average Cuban. They employed
no musclemen nor gunner and
they treated the natives so much
better than the Dons treated
them that it seemed like regu-
lar family affair, and most
everyone was happy.
There is no excuse for the
situation as it now stands. We
muffed it simply because it was
insignificant, below the dignity
Of our strategists to get the
situation well in hand at the
crucial moment

Why, many would ask, should
Khrushchev be allowed to influ-

But another point of view is
that here is something more to
be considered than any indi-

would be acting as a sort of cata-

American minds something that
is fact, and supremely impor-
tant. That would be the fact of
Nixon'S superior experience, tai

The players seem more horizon

nevertheless. There is a sense of

and vast background of
coached admonitions, impulsions
and fine points-such as snug

My I win Oaks

Old, potent trees close side by side,
Grown old through many springs:
And they like twins who look olike,
Are old and lovely things.
And in their IeofIess branches now
Deserted nests ore shown;
Nests built by birds for their bodies
That long from them have flown.
Unmovng, mute, these old trees stand
While winds their branches sway,
And if they had voice to speak,
wonder whot they'd soy.
When they from ocorns sprouted out,
have no way to know;
But I'm sure they were little trees
Two hundred years ago.
| often wish thot they could talk
So they could tell to me
About the things thot hoppened since
They each became tree.
Perhaps Of Lee and Grant they'd speak
And Of the Rebel veil:
And tell Of bloody bottle fields
Where our brave soldiers fell
They'd tell me Of the talk they heard
Upon that April day
When Lee to Grant surrendered
His worn out men in groy.
So many things could these trees tell
# they with words could speok;
But they cont even whisper when
Beneath them, shade | seek.
But still love my twin oak trees
Whose branches roise on high
As if to God they are praying
The same as you and |.

entirely lawfully - that is according
to the law Of the Constitution, general
ly accepted and previously established.
Possibly, the Federal Courts will
further usurp the rights, responsibilities
and powers Of the states and the states
subdivisions through decisions in this
case so very important to every living
soul in the United States
Or, the Federal Courts will protect
and perpetuate the legal principles upon
which this Republic was founded.
Frankly, the constitutional aspects
of these cases far transcend the inte-
grafton of schools, as important as
that is. The May II, 1854 decision did
untold violence to constitutional govern
ment. Until it is definitely known how
far the judiciary will go in further
usurpations of power the real import
of that decision can not be definitely
assessed.
The courts in these supplementary
complaints will come into direct con-
tact with fundamental rights of states
to manage their internal affairs, and
will have to decide the extent of con-
troll they will take over the right of
local legislative bodies to govern their
own people. The rights and powers of
the school boards will also be clarified.
Therefore. the decisions yet to be made
by Federal courts are even more far
reaching than those already made.
Usurpation of power and rights will
be clearer cut and will affect the fu-
ture relationships between federal-state
governments.
To the People Of Prince Edward /:
There is no reason to anticipate the
action of the courts The constitutional
questions being raised in the supple
mental petition must be decided, the
sooner the better.
We, the people, have been under
varying legal stress of ten years. We
have remained calm, consderate and
open-minded. We have acted with de-
corum. We have avoided personalities.
In the future, while great constitutional
questions are being settled in the courts,
may we maintain our enviabe pos
ition of good relationships one with
the other.
When the questions have been deter
mined = then it will be time to act
within the framework of the laws.
Far-Seeing
Dictators have the flexibility of be-
ing able to change their short range
plans and directions without having to
consider large governing board, Con-
gress for example. This flexibility al
lows the dictators to make quick de-
cisions and quick moves. The evacuation
Of Russian troops and infiltrators from
the Congro overnight is an example. BY
the same token these forces can be re-
placed as quickly as they have been
withdrawn. To this extent dictatorship
has it's advantages in internatio
power politics, they can take the Of
fensive easily.
We trust that President Eisenhower
in his address to the General Assembly
Thursday will take the offensive and
state definitely the policies Of the
United States in no uncertain terms.
Such may place the array of dictators
in defensive position, at least so far
as the proceeding at the General AS
sembly of the United Nations is con-
cerned. 1t will be interesting to watch.
