SUCCESSORS TO HUEY LONG ARE ‘DOING NICELY

Triumvirate of Heirs Keep Grip on Politics in Louisiana.

* By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer

NEW ORLEANS, March 26.—No-

body neéd weep for the boys Huey Long left behind him. They are doing nicely. Louisiana and Néw Orleans are under the control of a triumvirate

of Huey’s heirs—Governor Richard | §

W. Leche, the six-foot 215-pounder who the late dictator raised from

a political pup; Mayor Rob Maestri

of New Orleans, one of Huey’s hénchimen: and Seymour Weiss, known in the old days as Huey’s “pay-off” man, and now the dominant behind-the-scenes figure in Louisiana politics. Mr. Weiss, who runs the Roose-

velt Hotél herc—once Long head- |

quarters—was treasurer of the old Long machine. He has plenty to do" with its successor. The prevailing tone of Louisiana politics, once so hectic, is one of deep calm. Bub many Louisianians suspect that beneath this manufactured calm the state machine is making politics as profitable as before. - May Expicde Some Day This quietudé may explode some day with a loud bang, but that day seems far off. The opposition has been squelched, and Louisiana people who cculd do something about the state of affairs prefer, as a rule, to go zbout their living— which is enjoyable here—and not bother about politics unless, as in Huey’s time, it encroaches on their private business, private right, or private pleasures. : Huey’s persecution of business, his swaggering forays with the state militia and hi secret police, his repressive election laws by which he dominated the smallest hamlet—all

these impinged upon private and :

personal rights. They are no- more. Huey’s successors have rooted out thé sources of friction. The first act was to wipe from the statute books all the repressive laws, while maintaining such sogial reforms as homestéad law, free school-books, and tax exemption for farmers. ‘Secondly the long heirs effected a deal with the Roosevelt administration against which Huey had ranted and which was coming close to.pay dirt in income tax cases against numerous, figures in the long regime. The Justice Department suddenly quashed income tax ~ indictments which had been voted after Treasury experts dug through records for a year and a half. Huey Stirred Revolt The Roosevelt people got worried about the revolt in the South against the President, which Huey had stifred up in collaboration with his imitator, Governor Gene Talmadge of Georgia, and six months before the Philacelphia convention of 1936 the income tax cases were dropped.” Peace - was sizanaiized “publicly when Seymour Weiss, with not an exactly ‘pleasant expression, trudged about the convention hall under a big banner which proclaimed: “1 am for Roosevelt.” The deal reportedly was arranged here by Joe Keenan, assistant to the Attoreny Genersl, who handles many political and patronage worries for Homer Cummings and Jim Farley. It put a blot on the Roosevelt Administration which New Déalers can’t explain away.

In the third place, the Long suc-

cessors have canonized Huey Long by constantly emphasizing what he did for the poor and downtrodden of the State, by setting aside a holiday for the schoolchildren to ponder upon Huey’s good deeds, and by giving political preference to Huey’s brother Earl. The latter, now Lieutenant Govérnor, is slated to become Governor. He lacks the genius of Huey, and generally is regarded as merely a “front” for the machine. At one time he fought Huey bitterly; he even called him 2 “liar” at a Senate hearing. Leche Buys Estate Governor Leche’s weekly paper, the Louisiana Progress, published at Hammond, 1a. is said to be earning $100,000 a year. Folks in New Orleans raised. their - éyebrows slightly when the Govérnor acquired a beautiful estate about 50 miles from New Orleans, reported to have cost $60,000 to $70,000. His salary is $7500 a year, but the Louisiana Progress is loaded with advertising from industries and municipalities. It behooves those who have dealings with the state to advertise, it is said. Huey raised money effectively that way for his campaigns. Officeholders still are levied upon for percentage contributions, too, but that of course is done in other states. Mayor Maestri has done many things of the Huey Long type for New Orléans, such as improving streets and schools. “Our Bob,” as. the label underneah this smiling face on political posters reads, is desirous of elevat_ing his. reputation to that of civic benefactor. Once he was a large | ‘property owner in New Orleans’ tenderloin district. Profits from the underworld, in- . cluding luxurious gambling estab- | Hshments, are still lucrative, but how much gets into political channels is not. kriown. There was a timé, not so long ago, when oil leases were reported to be yielding profits for state officials who would get permits through dummy names. Oil prospecting is going on at a great rate now. Sav. ' éral wells have been brought in recently -along the Gulf Coast. to okedy had Gadurea recently as r 61 spoils s still in effect. . - oo yslom.i8

Victim's Family Intervenes For Youth; Wants No Punishment.

NEW YORE, March 26 (U. b)—

} Indication that Donald Carroll, 16,

‘would plead mental derangement at

| the time: he killed his sweethedrt

was seen today as the boy's grangd-

‘| father, a noted psychiatrist, hurried

toward New-York. Carroll confessed entering into a suicide pact with blond Charlotte Matthiesen; 18, because she was pregnant and they lacked the money needed for marriage. He told how he and Charlotte ‘meas ured her heartbeat so they could place the muzzle of a pistol at the vital spot. The sound of the ‘shot frightened him, Carroll said, and, instead of turning the weapon against himself, he surrendered to police. Word was received today that Dr. Robert Sproul Carroll, the boy's grandfather and founder of the Highland Hospital at Asheville, N. C., was on his way north. It was assumed that Donald’s = mental status at the time of the shooting would figure in the defense.

Guard Against Suicide Sydney Rosenthal, Carroll's attorney. said the boy asked to be

‘| allowed to attend Charlotte's fu~ ‘1 neral tomorrow, but ‘was told it was impossible.

The boy’s shoelaces, necktie and

"| belt have been taken away from

him to prevent any attempt at suicide. Both of the households involved in the tragedy joined in giving comfort and aid to young Carroll. “Harming the boy will not bring back my girl,” said the father of the golden-haired victim. “The poor boy couldn’t have been himself when he did this thing. I do not want to see him punished. I do not want to see him go to the electric chair.” It was Frederick Matthiesen speaking, and he recalled how strict his wife had been with Charlotte, how she had “believed in the old-fash-ioned way of raising children.” Had they known of their daughter’s probfem, he said, they would have sanctioned marriage.

Defends Youth

“Donald was a fine boy,” he said. “A few years ‘difference in age makes no difference. Anything was better than this.” t Mrs. Matthiesen was too griefstricken to say more than a few words, but she echoed her husband’s views and declared that she had loved Donald “as my own son.” Donald’s mother, the wife of a retired Army officer, said: “They were just two babies who didn’t know what it was all about. I feel as though I had been doubly bereft. She was Juss like my own daughter.”

STUTZ MOTOR CO.

Trustees Fail to Act Under Bankruptcy Law.

The Stutz Motor Car Co.. today faced possible liquidation with the failure of trustees to submit an amended plan pf reorganization
