HUEY'S WINGS CLIPPED UNDER PATRONAGE AX Louisiana ‘Kingfish’ Unsure of Stand With New Administration. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER I'nitrd frHi staff Corr*on l-nt • Copyright JS33 by United Priii WASHINGTON July 26. The Roosevelt administration is just now getting around to cne case of Senator Huey p Long. ..he Democratic " bad boy” of the senate The irrepressible Louisiana senator declared his independence several times in the nst session. Sunny Jim Farley, postmaster-general and chief patronage dipenser, nas been sharpening his ax for some time. Now the resounding whacks are being heard. Long came to Washington to find out where he stood The first answer was .•ppointment of one of his political opponen t Paul Hibans as Louisiana state manager for the Home Owners Lo-n Corpi ation. a good job which carries control of many appointments with it Hostile .Appointments Made Still. Long wasn't sure he knew Just where he stood He and Farley went to the White House to see President Roosevelt. The next day another hostile appointment was announced. Edward Rightor, New Orleans attorney and one of Long's bitter political enemies, was appointed a member of the federal public works advisory committee lor Louisiana. Long much would prefer to have a friendly man in that Job. How Senator Long will take this no one can predict. He has said that j he stands ready to use his influence to bring about Louisiana's ratification of the repeal amendment whenever it is needed But he also reports that he has I 2.000.000 subscribers in prospect for his contemplated personal weekly newspaper. It is to carry rt its masthead the motto, ‘‘Let the Fur Fly," and Senator Long is temperamentally qualified to make good.

Opposition Mowed Down Those patronage developments are widely accepted among politicians as notice that the Roosevelt administration will be decisive in mowing down those who oppose it. Although Senator Long threw his suppor to Mr. Roosevelt in the Chicago nominating convention, he broke away in the emergency session of congress on several occasions. He opposed confirmation of William H. Woodin as secretary of treasury, conducted a brief filibuster against the emergency banking bill on the first day of the special session. and defied the administration on veteran economics. Farley’s indifference to Tammany Hall and his insistence that those who supported Mr. Roosevelt before he was nominated be given patronage preference have reflected the same determination to command absolute loyalty in the administration ranks. Appointment Is Withdrawn That this loyalty is returned was demonstrated in the case if Democratic National Committeman Wolf of Minnesota. At the offices of the Home Loan boaid It was stated a few days ago that Z. H. Austin of

Hundreds Reap Reward of Movement Launched in Spring. In spite of floods in the early planting season, and dry, hot weather recently. Indianapolis community gardens have accomplished the purpose for which they v.ere intended. More than 600 families in Brightwood will benefit from sixty-five acres of ground donated for community gardens, and other families throughout the city now are enjoying vegetables from the 1 060 lots planted this spring. The sixty-five acres in Brightwood were planted and managed as Minneapolis, had been selected to be Minnesota manager for the Home Owners Loan Corporation. He was described os a Democrat, but some Minnesota Democratic leaders said he had been selected through the influence of Walter H. Newton, former secretary to Herbert Hoover, who was appointed to the Home Loan board by President Roosevelt at the request cf the former president. When National Committeeman Wolf rushed to Washington and protested to Farley, the selection was withdrawn. Fmery Swenson, supported by Woif, was named instead.

a community garden, under direction of the Indianapolis SelfHelp Exchange. Men out of employment have donated their services to working in the gardens, carpenter work, and other community employment. They have been given credit for the hours of labor they have contributed. and are being paid in vegetables raised in the gardens. Canning Will Begin Within the next few weeks, community canning will begin in the Y. M C. A. building in Bright wood, which has been turned over to the ! exchange for t! purpose. Women who prefer will be given foods to can in their own homes. Others will join in the community canning, and receive canned foods to carry them through the winter as payment. The surplus will be held in the Y. M. C. A. building, in a community commissary, to be given out in exchange for work done through the winter by unemployed men of the neighborhood. Crops Are Satisfactory Five thousand packages of seeds were distributed at one time this spring for early planting, and two weeks later 2.000 additional packages were ordered to meet the demand of prospective gardeners. The work has been under general direction of Mrs. Perry O'Neal, head of

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

the Indianapolis Community Garden Center. With the exception of 193 lots, all ground donated for the community gardens was plowed by workmen supplied by the organization. Cabbage plants and tomato plants were given out this year, and next year other plants have been suggested for distribution to the community gardeners. Included in the seeds distributed were beans, beets, carrots, turnips, lettuce, radishes, parsnips, spinach, corn, and swiss chard With the exception of spinach, all seeds have produced a satisfactory garden crop. Other plants were donated by the Central Hospital for the Insane, upon orders from the garden center. At the Famiily Welfare Society workers divided the large packages of seeds into small packets, to be distributed to families having only small portions of ground on which they desired to plant gardens. Although recently extreme heat had a disastrous effect on some of the gardens, causing bean and tomato blossoms to fall from the plants, the gardeners carried water in buckets from the river and Fall creek to save their plants. Recent rains have suppplemented this work and, with the exception of a few plots of ground near Butler. which were affected badly by the early floods, the gardens have been successful. HELD IN PLATES CASE Negro Forced to Curb. Arrested on Variety of Charges. An automobile carrying stolen license plates was forced to a curb at North street and Indiana avenue Thursday night by police, the driver arrested on a series of charges, and the car sent to a garage to be held for investigation. Arrested was David McCann, 30. Negro, 1311 North Capitol avenue, on charges of having no driver's license, operating motor vehicle with improper plates, and possession of lottery devices. Police said several books of baseball lottery tickets were found in the car.

DENIES LEGION SUPPORT GIVEN SEN. ROBINSON State Commander Decries Veterans’ Participation in Politics. There is no Democratic and Republican politics in the Indiana department of the American Legion, and the Legion, ns such, will' not take part in Senator Arthur R. Robinson's homecoming here Aug 6. This pronouncement comes from William O. Nelson, state commander of the -egion. Nelson, a Republican, lives in And^tson. He decried the idea that partisan politics should be injected into Legion affairs. Meanwhile, the McNutt -Demo-cratic-Legionnaires are lay.ng plans to see that Nelson's successor is not a Republican. The election takes place at the Evausville s ate convention next month, when Robinson will be one of the principal speakers. Nelson denied that he selected the senator and pointed out that the arrangements committee also has invited Governor Paul V. McNutt to speak. Robinsons Cohorts Chuckle Meanwhile, Robinson's cohorts are chuckling over the fact that the senator has stolen the Legion limelight while the Governor basks in California sunshine. McNutt is attending the Governors’ conference on the west coast. That his official family has had some connection with the American Legion is shown in the following | list: McNutt, past state and national commander. Pleas Greenlee. McNutt secretary ,in charge of personnel, past state | adjutant. Fred Wiecking. deputy attorneygeneral. past state commander. Clarence Jackson, McNutt appointed income tax collector, past state commander. Frank McHale. unofficial advisor, past state commander. Bowman Elder, another unofficial advisor, national treasurer of the Legion. Successor Is Groomed When Nelson was elected commander, partisan politics was at the fore. That was a; the Anderson convention last year and then Senator James E. Watson, no Legionnaire. was credited with aiding Nelson's selection. Right now’. G. O. P. lieutenants are grooming V. M. Armstrong. Indianapolis Republican, as Nelson's successor. The so-called ' Boy Scouts." McNutt's group, are out to stop it and get a Democrat elected. Nelson's predecessor, Ralph Gates, Columbia City, was a Republican. The Republican nominee for Governor, opposing McNutt, was Raymond Springer, Connersville. past | state commander of the American ' Legion.
