Long of Louisiana today claimed a one-up victory in his fight against gambling in New Orleans. The governor went into the lead in the battle Wednesday night when Na- tional Guard troops swept down upon night clubs and confiscated $11,800 at the Trachina Club, after a search of guests.

Long jumped back into the lead last night when he announced that the money already had been disposed of, deposited to the credit of the State treasury. Legislative Act Necessary. | “That money belongs to the State| of Louisiana now,” said the governor, “and the gamblers will have to get the Legislature to pass an act to restore the money to them. I don't think they will have much luck with the® Legislature.” The injunction obtained by Thomas was issued by Judge George K. Favrot in District Court last night. ‘The night club proprietor charged in his petition the deprivation of liberty and property without due process of law in the mili- tary move allegedly executed without a proclamation of martial law or request for aid from civil authorities. The gov- ernor, adjutant general, treasurer and auditor of the State were cited to show | cause February 25. More Rigid Action Threatened. In defense of the troop raids and the | search of woman guests, Long of more rigid action next trip and said: “Every person under arrest is subject to search.
