Cheer WILL BE SCENE OF SENATOR'S BURIAL Lies in State Within Rotunda; Funeral Ceremonies Sched- uled for Thursday POLITICAL SPECULATION RIFE Dictator’s Bodyguards Probably Will Be Absolved of As- sassin's Slaying Baton Rouge, La., Sept. 11—(?)— Dynamic, fervid Huey P. Long, toppled from the peak of power by an assas- sin’s bullet, lay still in death Wednes- day amid the monuments of lengthy political reign over Louis- iana’s affairs, The rotunda of the state capitol was chosen as the place for his body to lie in state, surrounded by a guard of honor of National Guardsmen and 24 of his beloved Louisiana state uni- versity cadets, from 1 p. m. Wednes- day until time for the funeral at 4 p. m. Thursday. He will be buried on the statehouse the capitol. Services will be in charge of the Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith. The will be Gov. O. K. Allen, Lieut. Gov. James A, Noe, Seymour Weiss of: New Orleans, Robert 8. Maestri, state commissioner of con- servation, Allen 8. Ellender, of the house, and John B, Fournet, justice of the state supreme court. Family Visits Bier None but members of Senator Long’s family and close friends were per- mitted: to view the ‘body before: removed under s heavy guard of state police from a funeral home to the capitol. In Washington, Senators Caraway of Arkansas, of Louisiana, Thomas of Oklahoma and Schall of Minnesota were named to represent sheir colleagues at the funeral. The lilting song, “Every Man 8 King’—the melody Long had writ- ten as his “share-the-wealth” cam- paign tune—has been arranged as a funeral dirge. The sense of shock that gripped the city on first news of the shooting and held it in somber silence after the death of Senator Long yesterday Rave way to a subdued flurry of spec- ulation over what would become of the all-powerful Long state political machine. Whether Mayor T, Semmes Walms- ley of New Orleans, Long’s bitterest political foe; the Square Deal Associ- ation, Anti-Long organization with. which his troops clashed on the streets of Baton Rouge last January, or others would come into power:and break the Long machine entered the speculation. Jury Returns Verdict The inquest called to establish the cause .of Senator Long’s death re- sulted in a verdict from the East Baton Rouge parish coroner's jury that he “came to his deat from gun- shot wounds of @ homicidal char- acter.” etd Inability to round up the body- guards who pumped their guns into Dr. Weiss until they had riddled him with sixty-one bullet holes forced postponement until next week of the inquest into the eye specialist’s death. ‘The general impression among offi- |’ cials was that the bodyguards would ve absolved. The senator's 82-year-old father, Huey P. Long, Sr, arrived here from Winnfield and viewed the body of his son.

Winter, traffic expert commission and Millers Testing Less Than 52 Pound Wheat to Determine Its Flour Quality eaibiates. «5 Improving wheat prices are bring- ing cheer to North Dakota. Evidence grows that the crop was shorter than experts had at first be- Meved. This influence on the market is increased by bad Canadian reports, where much wheat was rusted and damaged by heat, and by reports from the rest of the world where the wheat crop has suffered from various vicis- situdes. In much of Europe, with the ex- ception of the lower Danube basin and parts of Russia, according to the U. 8. department of agriculture, the crop was either short to begin with, damaged by lodging just before har- vest or was sprouted in the shock by rains after harvest. Only the lower Danube valley and parts of Russia and China were re- ported as having normal crops. Millers Seek Solution Bolstering the condition are tests now beirig made of light-weight North Dakota wheat by Minneapolis millers. As one Minneapolis expert commented in a letter to The Tribune, they are “jittery but hopeful” and are trying a way to use light-weight wheat to advantage in competition with flour made in other sections. Data from millers indicate the lowest test weight of wheat now going into flour is 52 pounds but that tests are being made of lighter grain. Mean- while, much wheat has been imported from Canada, where a heavy carry- over of plump grain from last year was recorded. It was estimated that approximately 2,000,000 bushels of Ca- nadian grain were imported: during the last five days of August and the first five in September, most of it go- ing to Buffalo. Millers generally ‘are that much of the low-weight wheat must be milled into four before the next Hine oPrecrier Mussoliat of itsiy thet Sanh is--harvested; authority, and on that basis there is & Possibility that wheat lower than 52 pounds will be milled later in the year. Meanwhile, smaller mills away from the terminals are reported to be milling low-weight wheat down to 44 pounds. Heavy Imports Possible Encouragement in’ using Canadian wheat is contained in the ‘processing tax, according to this milling author- ity. Because of differences in grade, Canadian No. 3 northern is the equal of U. 8. No. 1 northern but sells at normal discount of 8 cents under adian No, 1. The duty is 42 cents a bushel, It so happens that the dif- ference in processing tax between wheat requiring 4% bushels to the barrel of flour and wheat requiring six bushels to the barrel is also 42 cents. On this basis, it is pointed out, any marked disparity between Canadian and American prices will result in heavy importation of grain from beyond the border. Three distinct reasons are given MINNESOTAN FACES CHARGE AFTER CAR CRASH KILLS BABY Little Falls Man and Friend Ar- rested at Dickinson Af- ~ oho Her Search | Dickinson, N. D., Sept. 11.—(P)— Gerald Garosak of Little Falls, Minn., is being held here on a charge of reck- less driving, following an automobile accident which resulted in fatal in- jury to Joyce, 3-month-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Roy Prideaux of Dickinson. The accident occurred late Sunday near Zenith when the car Prideaux was driving was halted at the side of the road. Garosak’s car crashed into the automobile, demolishing the Prideaux machine. Garosak and a companion, who po- lice said is Allan Woon of Paynes- ville, Minn., abandoned their car. After ‘an all-night search they were arrested by George Sturgis, special deputy from Belfield, and lodged in jail here. The charge was preferred against Garosak before the baby’s death, which occurred later in a hos- pital here. ‘ Joyce suffered a fractured skull for the sharp drop in wheat prices lhelow 44 pounds, mentioned in a re- cent Tribune editorial.
