A Classes 6 GAINS MOMENTUM | to bring their facts and complaints to USURY CAMPAIGN Unlicensed Operator Cuts $80 to $25 to Escape Prosecution. The drive of Corporation Counsel Prettyman against practice of usury |in the small loan business here took |on new strength today-after one un- | licensed operator had been forced to | slash from $80 to $25 charges assessed | against one borrower. Prettyman issued an invitation to | other borrowers who believe they are | being compelled to pay usurious rates | his office for investigation. Active legal prosecution is to start next week. First fruits of the campaign to break up illegal operations came yesterday when one lender settled with his client after a confernce with Assistant Corporation Counsel Edward M. Cur- ran. The names of persons involved were not made public. The borrower obtained a loan of | $125, giving his automobile as col- | lateral. The interest and other fees were to amount to $30. That was added to the principal, making the |loan $155. The loan was for one month. | The borrower was unable to meet the loan and had to pay $25 for a one-month extension and another $25 for a second month extension. | The case was settled with payment of $100, giving credit for the previous two payments of $25, so that his net bill was $25 instead of $80 | Even so, it was computed his actual ‘bill for the use of $125 for three | months was at the rate of 20 per cent for three months, or 80 per cent a year. The agreement was accepted by | the District, it was said, only because | the borrower agreed and the District | no longer had a complainant. | Since the drive started two firms | have applied for license to operate under the 1913 law, fixing the limit of | charges at 1 per cent a month. The applicants are the Fidelity Plan Corp. | and the Washington Industrial Loan Co. Lincoln inued From First Page.) Senator Long may bring chaotic po-! litical conditions and the overthrow of the Long machine. Long dom- | inated that machine and the State| absolutely. He was in a position to | deliver the electoral vote of the ‘State | of Louisiana either to himself, if he were a candidate for President, or to some other capdidate. Under the | | laws which he had passed through the Legislature, only Long or his ap- pointees selected the election officials and watchers. | From Gov. Oscar K. Allen, nhom! Long had elected chief executive of | the State, down, all the officials of | the State government and the division commanders of the Long political ma- chine were dependent upon him per- | sonally. Whether any one- of them | now has the capacity for leadership { which will enable him to step into | | Long’s shoes remains to be seen. No | | “crown prince” has yet shown him- | selr. | Scramble for Power Looms. ! | Gov. Allen's term of office expires | | in May, 1936. It is generally believed here that there will be wild scramble | | for power among the Long lollumng.‘ | A campaign this Winter is in the | offing. In some quarters Long was | | reported to have been grooming thef Lieutenant Governor, James A. Noe, | for Governor next year. i In the meantime the Long opposi- | | tion in Louisiana, which has been | | under the heel of the Senator for | | years, is expected to take all possible | | advantage of the situation created by | Long's death. Without Long as the directing hand, the machine he set up may be vulnerable to a degree. The | opposition has several strong leaders, | but whether it will produce the men | | to swing the State back to a more | republican form of government also | Temains to be seen. | A Democrat to fill the vacancy in | the Senate will be named by Gov. | Allen, it is expected. Long's term of | } office will expire on January 3, 1937. | | He would therefore have been up for | | renomination and re-election next | | year had he decided to be a candidate | to succeed himself. At various times he was reported undecided whether to | Tun again for Senator, to run for | Governor or to be a eandidate for | President. Senator Overton, the jun- ‘ ior Senator trom Louisiana, was elect- ed in 1932 with the support of the Long machine, defeating former Sen- ator Broussard. Self-Appointee May Be Rejected. Gov. Allen will, it is expected, ap- point & Long man to fill the vacancy | in the Senate. There was speculation | in Washington as to whether he would | not appoint himself to that office, through the lieutenant governor, For- mer Gov. Erickson, Democrat of Mon- | tana, in 1933 resigned and had him- | | self appointed to the Senate to fill the | | vacancy caused by the death of the late Senator Thomas J. Walsh. Erick- | son was strongly criticized. There is Teason to believe that the next gover- nor who has himself appointed to fill a Senate vacancy may have rough sledding, although Erickson was per- | mitted to fill out the Walsh term. Nothing has so kept Long in the | political foreground nationally as his | break with President Roosevelt after | the inauguration of the President in {1933. He has denounced the Roose- | velt New Deal from one end of the | land to the other.

C, its place the Huey Long “share-the- wealth” program, and he has worked hard at organizing “share-the-wealth” clubs in many parts of the country. These clubs were to become the nu- cleus of any move to elect Long President. Long used the Senate as his princi- pal forum, however, to lambast the President and his administration. It was only a few months ago that Long sought to have the Senate Post Office Committee, headed by Senator Mc- Kellar of Tennessee, investigate Post- master General Farley, the chairman of the Democratic National Commit- tee, whom he accused of feathering his own nest through contracts which went to firms in which he sald the Postmaster General was interested. The committee and the Senate de- nied the request of Long for this in- vestigation, declaring that he had not | presented substantial evidence that would warrant it. Strong Supporter in '32. Back in 1932, however, Senator Long | went to bat for President Roosevelt in | the preconvention campaign and at| the Democratic National Convention | at Chicago. He headed a delegation from Louisiana favorable to the Roose- velt nomination. He fought for its seating against the contesting delega- tion, which was not friendly to Roose- velt, both before the Credentials Com- mittee and on the floor of the conven- | tion. Long's pro-Roosevelt delegation was seated and voted for Roosevelt's nomination, first to last. Later in the | national campaign Long supported the President. ‘When President Roosevelt came to| Washington, however, first as Presi- | dent-elect and later as President, Long | found that he was unable to dictate to the President with regard either to Federal affairs and appointments in Louisiana or in regard to national leg- islation. He found that he could not rush into the White House and obtain an audience whenever he wished. The | open break was not long in coming. | Long defied the President and Post- master General Farley, scoffed at Fed- eral patronage, C. C. C. camps, the tree-planting program of the Presi- dent and other measures of the New Deal. In his last days he was driving through the Louisiana Legislature laws which were intended to limit as far as possible Federal control in the State. Some Senators Spared Opposition. Several Democratic Senators with whom Long clashed in the Senate will not now have his promised opposition in their contests for renomination and | re-election. On a number of occa- sions Senator Robinson of Arl(:msus.J the Democratic leader, and Long scored each other bitterly in debate. | Long threatened openly to go into | Arkansas to campaign against Rob- | inson. He made similar threats against Senator Harrison of Mississippi, Sena- tor Bailey of North Carolina and Senator Clark of Missouri. It was his boast that he could control votes in the States of all these Senators and that if he opposed Roosevelt in the | presidential race he could carry these States, and possibly have the support of Alabama and Georgia as well. During the last two sessions of Congress Long drew thousands of curious visitors to the Capitol, who hoped to see and hear the Louisiana Kingfish. He was utterly unrestrained | in debate, making any charges, ap- | parently, that he desired. His quick | repartee frequently drew laughter from the galleries.

With permission in the work-relief act to spend $900,000,000, Ickes has been able to find only $120,000,000 worth of public works projects, which | the President, who has final say in the program, would approve.

While the breach widens between Hopkjns and Ickes, a showdown neared between the cross-purpose housing plans of Undersecretary of Agriculture Tugwell and Ickes. Ickes has made objections to Tugwell's rural resettlement low-cost housing proposals in the suburbs on the ground they directly conflict with the P. W. A. slum-clearance program.

Cross-Section of Humanity. Transients cared for here, Street said, are a fair cross-section of hu- manity from the illiterate to the man who has reached the early years of college. “I believe,” he declared, “that the members of the Transient Bureau are generally more fitted for construc- tive work than are the average. per- sons on relief. We have some men who have had as many as two years of college and many who have com- pleted high school. We also have a large number of skilled workers who are awaiting their opportunity to con- tribute to the economic and social welfare of the Nation.” Judge Mattingly’s attack upon the bureau was the result of having han- dled many cases involving intoxica- tion, disorderly conduct, assault and similar charges against Transient Bu- | reau members. Two youths who yes- | terday were convicted of the theft of clothing said they had to steal because all of their clothing had been stolen from them. “It seems every one down there steals from every one else,” the youths told the court.
