By the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS, September 10.— The death of Senator Huey P. Long at the hands of an assassin has left his powerful political machine rud- derless. Politically, Louisiana was in a whirlpool today. It has no direc- tion. The king is dead, but there was no king left to long live. When Huey Long passed from the political stage he left a half dozen political leaders of about the same stripe. None over- shadowed the other. If one tried to step ahead of the other there was danger of internecine warfare, Allen Leaned on Long. Normally the high man would be Gov. O. K. Allen, but during his entire political career he has leaned heavily on Huey Long, who was a triend from the barefoot boy stage in Winn Parish.

Senator Borah foresaw economic difficulties in America for many years in a portion of his address in which he declared new laws taxing the rich would provide $250,000,000 annual na- tional income, but appropriations by Congress will require the “poor people of America” to pay $9,750,000,000 into the Treasury.

By the Associated Press. ST. LOUIS, September 10.—Crim- {nal charges of conspiracy to evade income taxes against eight former executives of the Universal Aviation Corp., and the aviation corporation which controls it, were dismissed to- day by Federal Judge Charles B. Da- vis, who approved a settlement. Defendants were Graham B. Gros- venor, A. O. Cushny, Frederick J. King, William Dewey Loucks, Alex H. Beard, all of New York, execu- tives of the aviation corporation, and Dan W. Jones, Halsey Dunwoody and George B. Schierberg, all of St. Louis, executives of the Universal company. The Government’s tax claim had called for the payment of $349,532 in taxes and penalties. Acceptance of a compromise, which first came to light several days ago, was recom- mended by Attorney General Cum- mins through a special assistant, Wil- liam H. Boyd, who appeared at to- day’s hearing. Boyd, in a lengthy statement to the court, said the Department of Justice doubted that the evidence of fraudulent intent was strong enough to result in conviction, 4 political situation, therefore, is found in the fact that it has silenced a bit- ter foe of President Roosevelt. Might Have Taken Stump. Although Long might not have be- come an independent candidate for the presidency, there was always the possibility that he might have taken the stump for the nominee of the Re- publican party or of some third party. Indeed, only recently Long announced that he would support Senator Borah of Idaho if the Republicans should name him for President and the Democrats should renominate Pres- ident Roosevelt.

HARRISBURG, Pa., September 10. —Beaming and vigorous, United States Senator Huey P. Long spent an hour in Harrisburg 10 days ago discussing his forthcoming book, “My First Days in the White House,” with the publish- ers, the Harrisburg Telegraph and Telegraph Press. While the “Kingfish” talked over the book, in the details of which he seemed already to be Jving with his cabinet—including Fr: D. Roose- velt, Herbert Hoover and Alfred E. Smith—his bodyguards scrutinized every passer-by with evident anxiety. Senator Long seemed sincere in every detail of his imaginstive glimpse into the future. He seemed really to feel that he was in the White House. His cabinet was completed. Roosevelt was Secretary of the Navy; Hoover, Secretary of Commerce. Senator liam E. Borah of Idaho was Secretary of State. Outspoken Smedley D. Butler was Secretary of War, with Senator James Couzens of Michigan head of the Treasury. Frank Murphy of Michigan, Governor General of the Philippines, was Attorney General, and Maj. Gen. Lytle Brown of Tennessee, Secretary of the Interior. Edward Keating of Colorado was Secretary of Labor. Long visioned Al Smith as director of the budget. One of the first strokes of the imaginative administration was to be abolition of wasteful governmental bureaus. Others were to be merged. Many others prominent were chosen for important posts.

While the Budget Bureau last year disallowed the proposed increase, that was taken at the time by the Commissioners as & refusal by the bureau to enter into what it consid- ered a legislative matter. The bureau repeated the $5,700,000 item granted for the year previous. Encouraged to Repeat. The Commissioners were encouraged to repeat their proposal because of the action of the Senate in adopting their increased Federal payment, even though the House won out in confer- ence decision. As previously forecast. the Commis- sioners plan to make a heavy slash in the 1937 estimates as submitted by their department heads. These amount to requests for appropriation of $54,- 971,351, including a sum of $1,380,000 for trust funds. While these do not draw on tax revenues they must be appropriated. The net total sought for next year by department heads is $53,591,351. Hazen said the Commissioners at their current budget hearings for de- partment heads have set a rough figure of $46,000,000, which will mean they will have to slash approximately $8,000.000 from requests. Cuts Not to Be Uniform. Where the cuts are being made has not been stated. All departments are expected to receive some reduction, but the slashes will not be uniform as to departments, it is said. ‘The Commiszioners started their private hearings today with the ap- pearance of George M. Roberts, su- perintendent of weights and meas- ures. Others previously heard were Auditor Daniel J. Donovan, Corpora- tion Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman, Assessor Willlam P. Richards, Tax Colector C.

OAKLAND, Calif., September 10 (#).—Former President Herbert Hoo- ver will speak here October 5 before the 11-State convention of Young Republicans, President Sherill Mal- bert of the Californis Republican As~ sembly, announced today. ' In issuing the instructions, it was explained that the new policy does not arise directly out of the local controversy, but rather is in keeping with plans under way for some time to absorb all employable needy transients in the operations of the works program. The instructions this | morning were issued by Aubrey W. Williams, administrator in charge of the F. E. R. A. transient program. State and the District transient ad- ministrators have been asked to post these instructions for the notice of those not already in transient stations. The order does not mean, it was explained, that existing transient | shelters and camps will be discon- tinued on September 20, but it does mean that this work will be curtailed | through refusal to accept new cases. It is expected also that a major part of the transient program will be liquidated through the month of No- vember as transient relief clients are removed to works program projects. 1In connection with plans to provide Jobs for all the employable transients, arrangements are to be made to re- turn most of these to their home localities. In cases whkere the tran- sients have no homes, the camps will be continued until those receiving re- lief there may be placed in employ- ment. It was stated flatly, however, that the transient shelters in cities will be discontinued some time in November, at which time other arrangements will be made for the care of those unem- ployables still receiving relief there. There were 255,711 individuals re- celving transient relief throughout the (See TRANSIENTS, Page 7.) | | Five Killed in Collision.

Rust ordered a census taken of Jewish children in schools preliminary to the erection of special buildings. “Our object,” said the official com- mentary, “of cleaning out Jewry from German community life is unchange- ably clear and already carried out in many things. * * * racially, foreign and Jewish pupils form a foreign body in the Aryan pupil and teacher school community.” Separation on the basis of religion, Rust's order said, “is not sufficient for Nationalist Socialist education,” which demands complete isolation. Jewish children of school age will be required to attend the special public schools, said the order, which added that the fact they were being separ- ated from the Aryans did not excuse those under the age of 14 from going to school. PARTY OPENS CONVENTION. By the Associated Press. NURNBERG, Germany, September 10.—Pressing problems of world rela- tions, finance, religion, race and re- armament were brought to this city of the Meistersinger last night Ior; consideration at the annual party con- vention opening today. Enthusiastic Nazis looked forward to | the opening as the “party day of free- dom.” Among the problems up for discus- sion by intimate leaders groups were final solution of the Catholic-Protes- tant church conflict with the state; how the state would conduct a prom- ised campaign against Jews; what to do about such episodes as the Brod- sky decision in New York and the re- cent Communist convention in Russia, and what to do about the payment of bonds held by foreigners. A high Nazi official disclosed that Reichsfuehrer Hitler might make an important announcement on rearma- ment and that Hans Kerrl, head of the department for church affairs, might offer a plan for solution of the church conflist. If specific questions were taken up, it appeared to party informants the likeliest course would be to refer recommendations for action to the national cabinet. Confidence Back in Banks, Says Hecht, Association Head ference here, said the banker “no longer is filled with doubts as to what unexpected weaknesses may be lurking in banking or in business con- ditions affecting banking that will come forth to plague him tomorrow.

Hopkins has insisted that projects amounting to $352,234,725 and affect- Hop- a man-year employment basis. Orig- inally no project was to cost more than $1,100 for each man to be employed. Lately, however, this fig- ure has been dropped to around $700. The average man-year cost of the rejected applications is $958. “They are all good pPojects, every one of them,” Ickes said today. Al- though he made no direct reference to Hopkins, he added: “When this tripartite organization to administer the $4,000,000,000 works money was set up no individual mem- ber of it was given the right to veto a project. All that was provided was that certain information could be annexed to each project applica- tion for the benefit of the other members of the Works Allotment Board.” Ickes Confident of Victory. Just two days remain before the | deadline set by the President after which no more works applications can be received. Ickes, however, seemed confident that the projects turned down by Hopkins could be revised and still be considered. The public works administrator might bring the matter up at the next meeting of the Works | Allotment Board, where any member | can propose consideration of any proj- ect at any time. The Hopkins-rejected proposals in- | cluded almost half of the 3,998 P. W. A. | applications approved by Ickes and | submitted by him to Hopkins through September 6.

'KENTUCKY PRIMARY FAVORING CHANDLER Returns of 3,589 of 4,219 Pre. cincts Give Him Lead Over Rhea. By the Associated Press. LOUISVILLE, Ky., September 10.—~ Only the size of A. B. (Happy) Chandler’s majority over Thomas 8. Rhea for the Democratic nomination as Governor remained in doubt to- day as tabulation of Saturday’s run- off primary vote neared completion. On returns from 3,589 of the State's 4,219 precincts, Lieut. Gov. Chandler was leading Rhea, former State High- way Commission chairman, by a mar- gin of 19,490. Chandler had 217,794 against Rhea's 198,304. Rhea had a plurality of 13,435 in the first primary August 3. Three other candidates in the first race prevented any one from getting & majority. The politically powerful State High- way Commission which supported Rhea found few visitors at its session in Frankfort today. “Where is the big crowd that usually jams the room?” asked Chairman J.
