BATON ROUGE, La., July 6— Helpless anti-Long leaders today spoke bitter words and fought gamely, but Senator Huey P. Long's followers did his bidding. passed his 26 new bills in the House and rushed them to | the Senate for final action The measures, giving the “King-| fish” almost unlimited powers, were expected to receive almost immediate favorable report by the Senate's Finance Committee, leaving only a voting formality Monday to enact them into law. Called “Lying Crook.” Long. personally supervising the legislative work on his bills, heard himself called a “lying crook” and other words—but he went right ahead to give his followers control over every non-elective public job, big and little, in the State and send to jail any one who uses Federal relief money for political purposes After taking action the House ad- Journed until 12:30 a.m. Anti-Long Representatives insisted that use of State funds for political purposes should be outlawed as well as Federal funds. and one accused Long of politicalizing the State’s reve- nues. | Letter Is Read. | Representative George M. Lester of | West Peliciana Parish, read a letter he said was written by a former State employe in which Long was referred to as & “lying crook” and a political | manipulator of State funds, and Rep- | resentative Rupert Peyton accused him of insincerity, but the Louisiana “Kingfish” merely yawned and watched the fund politicalization and other bills go through The biggest bill in the lot—the one placing every public worker in Louis- jana under the State Civil Service Commission, composed of Long's fol- | lowers—was passed with no debate. Peyton jokingly asked whether “bellboys were included.” and was toild by Representative N. S. Hoff- pauir, one of Long’s followers, that he “thought they were.” MAN AND SON HELD IN “KIDNAP” PROBE .
