BATON ROUGE, La, Sept. 13— Leaderless Lieutenants of the late Senator Huey P, Long turned from the slain Dictator's grave to pre- serve his dynasty after his burial yesterday aftetrioon when a crowd estimated from 100,000 to 200,000 looked on, many sobbing, some al- most hysterical. Divergent interests and ambi- tions of Long's followers created the impression of confusion in their ranks. Foes of the Long machine seized the opportunity to begin their at- tack.

Y., Sept. 13— President ‘Roosevelt said' today he had issued orders for the Works Progress Administration under Har- ry L. Hopkins, Relief Administrator, to take over the works relief drive until the permanent public works program of Secretary Harold L. Ickes reaches greater volume. ‘ Employnient, he said, as a prob- lem is reduced to a proposition of dollars, men to be employed and time for completion of work. He |stated it is unlikely that funds already allocated for permanent structures would reach a peak for employment before next June, there- fore the gap must be filled in by temporary work under Hopkins' Jjurisdiction. ‘The President announced a pol- ‘cy of establishing permanently the Civilian Conservation Corps but on a basis of reduced enrollment of 300,000 from the previous 600,000 top. » — e —- CAMP OF TWO HUNTERS GOES By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associatea Press, Washington) ! However clear the issues may be- come in next year's presidential contest, & certain amount of foggi- ness is forecast for many of the individual campaigns of senators and representatives running for re- election. These members must run on their own records ,and in many instances the , records are confusing as to party allegiance. Many of Mr. Roosevelt’s favorite proposals fail- ed to command anything like solid| Democratic support in the recent session, but several of them did at- {tract appreciable blocks of Repub- lican votes, Those who changed over, in either direction, must make their own campaigns in their own way. That means that in some congressional districts the Democratic congress= man will be found standing with the President on some issues and against him on others, and the same wil! be true of many Repub- licans. 1t makes a rather scrambled out- [ look for the central congressional campaign committees of the two parties.
