NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 10.
—(P)—The death of Senator
Huey P. Long at the hands of
an assassin has left his pow-
erful political machine rud-
derless. Politically, Louisi-
ana was in a whirlpool. It
has no direction.
The king is desd and there is no
king left to tong live. When Huey
Long passed from the political stage
he left a half dozen political leaders
of about the same stripe. None over-
shadowed the other. If one tried to
step ahead of the other there was
danger of internecine warfare.

Normally the high man would be
Governor O. K. Allen but during hi*
entire political career he has leaned
heavUy on Huey Long, who was *
friend from the barefdot boy stage in
Winn parish. Tuesday Governor Al-
len was so broken up over his friend s
death that he was unapproachable.

was known that he would die, his
political lieutenants held conference*
on what step* to take. In them were

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 — (P)—
The nation's wheat crop this year was
estimated Tuesday by the department
of agriculture at 594,615,000 bushels,
and the corn crop at 2,193,755.000
bushels.
A month ago total wheat produc-
tion was estimated at 907.000.000
bushels. Most private crop experts
had predicted a much sharper down-
ward revision. The corn estimate a
month ago was 2,272,000,000 bushels.

TIOTATORSHIPS breed assassins.
L The one is bad. The other is
won*. The death of Huey Long end*
a tragic chapter in the history of an
American state. The rise of Long to
the strength of s medieval monarch
shames Louisiana's citizenship and
the state's republican form of gov-
ernment. The manner in which the
state was freed of his presence is from
the jungle and cannot be justified by
sny stretch of the rule of the dead
kingfish.
There is none in the Long entour-
age to take his place, Gov. O. K. Al-
len. mentioned as the probable leader
of the Long crowd, has none of Long’s
zest for authority nor greed for pow-
er He is a mild mannered, easy go-
ing type of ptenter who would shrink
from the direct action loved by Long.
Unless there to a bold lieutenant
not now >n the front of the scene.
Long's empire will shrink rapidly and
Louisiana will return to normal con-
ditions for the first time since the
amazing Long was elected governor
Nationally, there to none to take
Long’s place as an independent can-
didate for the presidential nomination.
The threat that existed to the Demo-
cratic party has been removed. Long
might have led sufficient radicals
awav to endanger PrAident Roose-
velt in November, 1939, but there is
no one in the picture who can inherit
the qualities that made Huey P Long
an ugly potentiality.
Louisiana, with its magnificent
cnpitol, its fine roads, its lavish bridges
and s debt of $150,000,000, will re-
member Senator Long for a genera-
tion. but the rest of the country wu
forget him next week.
Senator Long became delirious at midnight and shortly
later lost consciousness. Earl J. Christenberry, his secre-
tary, said he exclaimed:
“Where are my children ?"
His children, Rose, Russell and Palmer Reid were
rushed to his side, but too late for the senator to recognize
The secretary said there were last wishes expressed by
the senator. He would not divulge them because he said
they concerned the family and were private.
Mrs. Jack Ducoumau, a niece, gave another version of
the senator’s last act before he lost consciousness. He sent
for Mrs. Long, who had left the room, she said, and as she
walked in, he exclaimed:
“Here comes my sweetheart. Where are all the chil-
dren? I love all of you.”

Tuesday was fined $20 in police court

He was arrested Friday night at
Southwest Twenty-tighth street and
Harvey avenue by firemen who had
been watching alarm boxes in that
vicinity because of nine false alarms
tn three weeks.
Flanagan said he pulled only one
box but was with a group of boys who
pulled another one.
In assessing the fine. Judge Mike
Foster pointed out the danger* of such
a prank. Flanagan was given until
Saturday to pay ths fine.

The senator had just stepped from the house chamber
after pushing toward completion a number of special session
acts aimed at the federal administration, and toward con-
solidating his already almost unbelievable personal control
of the state’s affairs.
Dr. Weiss, a 30-year-old eye, ear, nose and throat special-
ist, pressed a gun into the senator’s stomach and fired. His
arm was deflected before he could fire a second shot and
Long’s body guardsmen, state highway policemen, killed
him on the spot with a fusillade of nearly sixty bullets. Dr.
Weiss was buried Monday.

The lieutenants of the Louisiana dictator were stunned

believed ready to attempt to carry on the powerful regime
he established. •

BATON ROUGE, U., Sept. 10.—United States Sen-
ator Huey P. Long, known the world over as the dictator
of his native Louisiana, died Tuesday of a wound inflicted,
by an assassin.
Physicians battled for 31 hours to save the political
chieftain’s life, they performed one operation, five blood
transfusions and administered artificial oxygen to no avail.
Death came at 4:06 a. m.
The widow, who married him 22 years ago after her
alibi testimony saved him from charges in a shooting scrape,
was led dry-eyed from Our Lady of the Lake hospital. She
had been at the bedside in constant vigil since Sunday night.
A “gunshot wound in the abdomen” waa officially
given as the cause of the senator’s death by Dr. E. L San-
derson, who said there were “not necessarily” any com-
plications.
