A—2 aw WALMSLEY SEES LOUISIANA UPSET Enemy of Long, in Capital, Predicts Repudiation in Primaries. BY J. A. O'LEARY. Victory for the anti-Long political forces in Louisiana in the forthcoming State primaries was predicted here last night by Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley of New Orleans, one of the leading opponents of the late Senator Huey P. Long. Alighting from a plane at Wash-! ington Airport yesterday evening the Mayor emphasized, however, that the only purpose of his visit here is to find out the status of relief-work progress allotments for his eity, in view of a law passed recently by the Yegislature, which the Mayor feared might interfere with Federal emer- gency expenditures in the State. “We think we were going to win | the - elections in January whether | Huey had lived or not,” was the| Mayor's comment, when asked about ! the political outlook in the State. He insisted, however, in response to the! queries of newspaper men, that his visit here is mot for the purpose of | conferring with any administration Jeaders about the approaching politi- | cal campaign in Loulsiana. | Questions Governor's Power, | The Mayor injected a new issue into the Louisiana political situation by | raising a question as to the power of | the Governor to name any one to fill | Long's seat in the Senate pending an election. “I think there is serious question of the right of the Governor to ap- point & Senator, because in this case the vacancy is for more than a year,” Walmsley said. Long was elected to the Senate in 1930 and his term | would not have expired until 1937. The primaries for Senator, mem- | bers of the House of Representatives, Governor and for State offices will take place in Louisiana during the coming January, however, and Walms- | ley said there will be a complete | anti-Long slate in the fleld, Sees United Front. i Asked if he thought the anti-Long | groups would be able to agree and present a united front, Walmsley an- swered: “I don't think there is any question about it.” In response to questions as to who | he thought would be nominated for | the Senate by those opposed to the Long regime, the mayor said he would not like to make the an- nouncement of a candidate, but added, “it will not be me.” Questioned about the possibility of opposing political factions adjusting their differences, the mayor indicated he did not believe there is any basis for reports to that effect. He said 46 laws that have been enacted by the Legislature would have to be re- pealed before he would consider that question. It was one of the most recent acts of the State Legislature, Walmsley Faid, which brought him to Washing- | #ton yesterday. He described it as & | ‘measure which would make it a felony for any Federal officer to spend any funds not provided for by the power conferred on the Federal Government in article 10 of the Con- stitution. Allen Signs Bill Walmsley said the bill passed the State Legisiature the day after Long Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley of Airport yesterday.

Among these 43 individual programs, | about 15 of which are believed already in conformance with Federal require- | ments and the others open to such | conformance without undue delay, nearly 300,000 children were being partially or fully supported.

BY J. RUSSELL YQUNG. HYDE PARK, N. Y., September 14. —President Roosevelt is back at his ancestral home here tonight after par- ticipating in the observation at Lake Placid 50th anaiversary of New York's conservation, the formal dedication of the highway to the top of White- face Mountain in the Adirondack Mountains and the inspection of a newly opened spa at Saratoga Springs. The President appeared at the end of the long journey greatly refreshed by this opportunity to be entirely separated from his own governmental work and worries, despite the fact that during the day he made two speeches and shook hands with many perscus. Although his two speeches were ex- temporaneous and comparatively brief, Mr. Roosevelt took occasion in the course of them to touch upon at least two things of national interest. Outlines C. C. C. Aims. In his address at Lake Placid, the President again emphasized the im- portance which he attaches to a Nation-wide conservation program and revealed that he will ask Congress for legislation to provide governmental credit for the private owners of forest and timber lands, and definitely an- nounced his hope to make the Civilian Conservation Corps a permanent in- stitution. At the top of Whiteface Mountain, with its magnificent view from all sides, the Presigent, in praising the great engineering feat in constructing the memorial highway to the top, poked fun at “doubting Thomases,” and those who indulged in “ribald laughter and jeers,” who, he declared, said at the start that the highway couldn’t be built to the mountain top, 4,600 feet above sea level, and then strongly voiced his faith in the four words, “It can be done.” Mr. Roosevelt strongly intimated that the phrase may easily serve as the doctrine he will follow in carrying on his New Deal administration. The President said he was quoting President Wilson on the occasion of the visit to the White House of the British and French military mission just when this country had entered the World War. Mr. Roosevelt said that the Army staff had never made plans for equipping an Army greater in size than 500,000 men. Recalls Wilson's Words. “I had the good fortune to be present on that historic occasion,” Mr. Roosevelt recalled with feeling. “Dear old Marshal Joffre” the articles discussing the social se- |$20,000 per year authcrized for each | President continued, “asked President Wilson how many men America could send into the war? “Wilson replied,” the President said, 'we can supply a million men. We can furnish two million men, if you need-them. If you need five million men we can supply them. If you need the whole manpower of the United States, you will have it.” Mr. Wilson then said those famous four words, “It can be done” the President continued, “and it was done.” Mr. Roosevelt then paid a tribute to those who are responsible for the | Memorial highway and declared that he was certain that no more fitting memorial to the State's soldiers who died .in the World War, could be dedicated. At both the conservation anni- versary celebration on the arena at Lake Placid and the Memorial High- way ceremonies at the mountain | summit, Mr. Roosevelt was introduced to the respective gatherings by Gov. Lehman of New York. The President expressed the hope in his conservation speech that Con- gress at its next session would pro- vide for extension of credit to forest resources. If forest properties are taken care of they are just as good assets for loans as farms or homes or other types of crops, the President said, Recalls First Plan. Mr. Roosevelt said that he was “especially glad” to see the boys from the C. C. C, who are carrying on conservation work throughout the Nation. Recalling his first proposal for putting large numbers of men to work in the forests, he said: “It was just about three years ago when " a certain person entering a political campaign suggested that for the preservation of the forests, the planting of trees and the prevention of soil erosion the Government ought to take several young men and ask them to go into the forests all over the United States. “That suggestion was greeted in some quarters by derision. Today there are 510,000 young men in C. C. C. camps in every State in the Union engaged in preserving forests and soil for generations to come. The ‘idle dream’ has become s fact.” “In my judgment,” he continued, “the work of the C. C. C. is doing so much good—not only good for future generations, but good for the present generation—that it should be a per- manent part of the policy of the United States Government.” On his homeward journey to Hyde Park the President stopped off for three-quarters of an hour to inspect the newly opened Saratoga Springs He arrived back at Hyde Park o'clock tonight. s Army Filling Vacancies.

LONG AIDES DRAW PLAN OF BATTLE Conservative and Liberal Groups Square Off on Candidates Issue. By the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS, September 14.— ‘The State of Louisiana was in a po- litical whirl tonight, with politicians of every rank holding their ears to the ground to determine the public re- action.

As a result & schism was threatened between the conservative and liberal wings of the organization, which Gov. O. K. Allen is seeking to hold to- gether.

In an effort to compromise, one group attempted to persuade Mrs. Huey | Long t- serve the unexpired term of | her husband of more than a year. She has expressed a distaste for the appointment.

Omaha, Nebr., September 14 —The Nebraska Methodist Church Confer- ence today ousted Rev. W. L. Hadsell of Lincoln by an overwhelming vote. ‘The action was taken in executive ses- sion because of the refusal of Rev. Hadsell to make a fina]l payment of $9 on his allotted assessment into | the conference fund for aged minise | ters, their widows and children. Rev. Hadsell said he had refused in order to bring a test case and appeal to higher church authorities. He said it was his contention that nine mem- |bers of the board administering the fund “last year received between $4,- 000 and $5,000 more than the amount paid to the 200 or e claimants.” Later a high ofcial said the ouster was voted because Rev. Hadsell had been active in & business other than his church post; had refused to leave Lincoln despite a rule that ministers must go where they are ordered, and had “been a trouble-maker.” Rules governing the pension fund provide that a pastor must make a contribution of 20 per cent of his yearly salary. e ‘Wiley Post Plague Unveiled.

With the Treasury already holding nearly half of the world's visible sup- ply of gold, financial officials yester- dav gauged potentialities of new gold | imports from Europe. Due to a combination of factors, some $20,000,000 was reported en- gaged for transoceanic shipment in the last few days, to be added to the pansion.

Far in Excess of Needs. Gold imports quickly are reflected in increased bank reserves—already $2,800,000,000 in excess of require- | ments—and these, economists say, are convertible into credit at nearly 10 | times their measurement in dollars. | Should use of this credit develop in | dangerous proportions, the Federal Reserve Board is empowered by the | recently enacted banking law to curb | such a trend. % | When foreign exchange rates link- | | ing the dollar and currencies which are directly convertible into gold pass beyond certain levels, it then becomes profitable for American banks to buy gold abroad and sell it to the Gov- ‘The Treasury buys such imports without limit at a fixed price of $35 an ounce.

SEATTLE, September 14.—A relief map of the Pacific Ocean’s floor, where towering undersea mountains and huge abysses make land topog- raphy seem puny, was displayed here today. It is the work of Capt. Claude Banks Mayo, attached to the thir- teenth naval district. The map was designed out of a big plank and thousands of bronze nails through use of sounding records. Capt. Mayo's articles on the Pacific Ocean floor have attracted world-wide interest among hydrographers. Many have studied his map, the first ever made of the sub-continent between America and Asia. The veteran naval officer started the novel work while captain of the Navy tanker U. 8. Ramapo, transporting cargoes of fuel oil.

He started experiments that produced his strange map, The ship's officers became inter- ested and helped. . o ) “We took the plank and drove bronge nails, made especially, into it at spots corresponding to the places where we made the soundings,” Capt. Mayo said. “One inch on the nail was equal to 5,000 fathoms. If the sounding showed 2,000 fathoms we'd drive the nail in two inches. Seventeen thou- sand three hundred and sixty-nine soundings were taken to finish the re- lief map.” The map, completed with a mixture of asbestos, water and glue, showed huge mountain ranges, a few of whose peaks protrude above the water to form the Hawalian Islands, Wake Island, Midway Island and Guam. In the area between Guam and the Philippines, which Capt. Mayo calls the “bad lands,” the map showed six- mile-deep guiches. Sleeps 57 Days.
