SENNTETDIENDRE ATTAGKSBY LONG Leaders Decide to Apply “Silent Treatment” to Louisiana Senator. 8 the Associated Press. Democratic lcaders in the Senate decided today to apply the “silent treatment” to Senator Long, Demo- crat, of Louisiana, who cut loose yes- terday with & new assault in which he flung such words as “chinch bug” and “jgnoramus” at New Deal chiefs. After experiencing some difficulty and mental strain in remaining in their seats while Long voiced his threat to take Louisiana out of the tax-paying Union, the leaders were sald to have reached the conclusion that better results would be obtained by sllence than by returning shot for shot. Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader, was all set to reply to Long at one point yesterday. But he consulted associates first and changed his mind. Vice President Gamer advised against a reply on the ground that Long could be han- died better if let alone. ‘Whether or not this agrees with the future strategy of Secretary Ickes, public works administrator, and Harry L. Hopkins, relief chief, it was said authoritatively today to be the policy of Senate leaders—at least for the present. ‘There was no sign today that Ickes and Hopkins were changing their stand on the subject of Federal funds for Louisiana. The Relief Administra- tion has put & man of its own choos- ing in charge of relief money in the Delta State and Ickes threatens to withhold P. W. A. funds if Long’s State government insists on control- ling the expenditures. Declaring States’ rights were being violated, Long shouted: “There might be a new kind of Bos- ton tea party which Mr. Roosevelt is creating,” Long said, “but that party can work two ways. Don’t you forget yourselves; when you strip the States of their sovereignty * * * they will atrip themselves of the sovereignty in enother way. “You have got i0 go inio these States 1o collect your taxes the same as you nave to go there to spend it.” BOY CAN'T SWALLOW Father Appe-is to Science to Help Halt Strange Malady.
