LONG LAWS SPEED HUEY-IZED STATE Rubber Stamp “0. K.” Put on Bills as Voting Ma- chine Races. By the Associated Press. BATON ROUGE, La., December 19. —Louisiana is designed soon to under- go & metamorphosis as the result of Huey Long’s dictatorship, administra- tion proponents and opponents agreed today. There was a difference of opinion, however, concerning its projected new form. Said Senator G. D. Davis of .La Salle Parish: “Before very long, with the Legis- lature and this Huey Long, Lou- isiana is going to show the world we're building up. We're going to come from the frog pond of the South to the flower garden of the world.” Foe Sees Blackmail. Said Senator George W. Lester, stern foe of the Kingfish: “If the present railroading of Long bills continues we are headed for a complete government by blackmail and extortion, placed in the hands of a modern Nero.” Meantime, the Senate sped Long’s 33 bills toward enactment by sending them to the Finance Committee, where Long promised he would strike from the parish school bill a provision giv- ing his dictatorship public school teacher patronage. This “joker” clause was attacked by Representative Lester yesterday in a fiery speech. There was every prospect that the measures would be stamped ‘“ap- proved” quickly and returned to the Senate for final passage tomorrow. Voting Machine Races. Bills were brought into the Senate last night from the House, which passed them so fast that an anti-Long Representative declared the voting machine ought to be water-cooled. Lester, incensed at the furious speed in which the bills were handled, took the floor in & one-man oratorical dis- play and called his fellow lawmakers “putty-faced stooges for bowing to the whims and fancies of the dictator on practically every legislative de- mand he makes.” Lester, of New England extraction and a Louisianan by adoption, is ordi- narily one of the quietest members of the Legislature.

Between D and E PRESIDENT’S RADIO CHAT IS UNLIKELY Executive Too Busy to Write Ad- dress, but May Give Views in Congress Message. President Roosevelt has virtually abandoned his plan to deliver another of his famous fireside chats over the radio this month. The President said today that since he returned to the White House two weeks ago from Warm Springs, Ga., he has beén unable to find time to write the address. He intimated he will include briefly in his annual message to Congress when it reas- sembles January 3, what he would have said on the radio. Mr. Roosevelt pointed out there is a tremendous volume of data to be condensed into a speech of this nature. He said it requires consider- able study to determine how the whole subject might be treated and at the same time not be too lengthy. He explained he is trying to deter- mine just how much he can inje§ into his forthcoming message to Con- gress and intimated that if the whale story cannot be told, that he may resort to a radio talk later on.

PHILADELPHIA, December 19.— Leopold Stokowski, resigned conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra, has ac- cepted an invitation to serve as guest conductor of the orchestra next season. In a letter to the board of directors he offered to “conduct about six weeks of concerts and help you begin the season, which is always difficult.” He advocated reorganization of the board to “infuse new life” and greater sympathy toward “new methods and courageous experiment,” and said his decision on returning to the full con- ductorship in 1936-7 “can best be ap- proached after the question of reor- ganization * * * is settled.” Reserves to Give Play.
