led anew Monday the difficult task
of finding a way out of the cotton,
wheat loan impasse which threaten
ed to delay the adjournment of con

decision over the week end.
The legislators are tired and their
tempers are ruffled. Some said that
if the present deadlock is not brok

which had previously been side

LONG’S FILIBUSTER IS
DEATH BLOW FORCING
END OF FIRST SESSION
Huey Long's Last Six Hours Filibustering
Kills Millions Dollars Appropriations
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27, —Despite an indirect invita
tion to “GO TO HELL!” and other angry remonstrances by
Democratic leaders, Senator Huey Long filibustered to its
expiring gasp, the important Third Deficiency Bill.
Talking steadily for a stretch that extended into its
sixth hour, Long was still shouting and arguing as the auto
matic midnight adjournment hour came upon the irate sen
ate and house, which had set its clock back and adjourned
at 12:09 A. M. Tuesday, thus terminating the first session of
the 74th Congress.
The Louisiana “Kingfish” took the floor to prevent a
reconsideration of the appropriation measure, from which
leaders sought to strike the previous-attached rider calling
for a twelve-cent loan on cotton and ninety cents a bushel
loan on wheat.
Aroused democratic leaders shouted at Long: “He. and
he alone,” will be held responsible for withholding millions
of dollars needed by the administration for the social secur
ity act. These funds contained the deficiency measure.
Long contended he was fighting for a principle, asserting
that the House had been denied a vote on the senate cotton
and wheat loan amendments.
Major items lost by Long’s filibuster included the Social
Security Act—seventy-six million dollars; railroad pensions
six hundred thousand; Seafood Inquiry and Pure Foods Ad
ministration six hundred thousand; penal institutions—one
million dollars; the deficiency bill totalled one hundred mil
lion dollars in its varous items. Some felt that it might be
allocated from the work relief money.
Others said that the money would not be forthcoming
from any source, thereby delaying the social security and
other new deal activities until Congress assembles again in
January, 1936. _

WASHINGTON
CURRENT
COMMENT
August 8, 1935.
The founder of a wealthy New
York family is reported to have
said: “What does the law amount
to? Aint 1 got money? Aint money
power?" Power of that kind did not
show up so well on Capitol Hill a
few days ago, when the so-called
share-the wealth tax measure pass
ed the House to the tune of 282 to 96.
It may not fare so well in the Sen
ate. In any event, debate and appo
sition is looked for in the upper
legislation body. Its progress may be
retarded by riders, not the least eff
ective of which is the bonus pay
ment. Advocates of inflation are like
ly to bring their views again to the
front by way of the tax bill. The
road through the Senate promises
to be rough and rugged, but per
haps the proposed legislation can
stand hard going. Upon the one
hand, the attitude of the old time
New Yorker deserves nothing by
condemnation, and his view point
is not unknown today. Upon the
other hand, soak-the-rich measures
acquire an easy popularity often
based on prejudice rather than sob
er thought. Poverty and riches are
purely relative terms and not posi
tive graduations like those of a yard
stick. The cat would like to get some
of the meat on the dog's bone and
the bird could have had good pick
ing on the cat’s plate if the cat
were out of the way.
The papers note a sharp increase
in the efforts of the Reds to spread
their propaganda in the United Stat

Civilian conservation centers, un
kindly referred to as labor camps,
have fallen under the communist
ban. A person is entitled to his own
views regarding some of the means
proposed for national recovery, but
it is hard to understand why any

group in practical operation should
argue that the men of which it is

OTHER NATIONS SEND

AND RECEIVE REBUFF
(,o\crnmonl Rejects Immediately
Nerlial Protests Of Ollier Nations
(By The Associated Press')
UNDATED, Aug. 27, —Verbal protests bv British, Ital
ian and Latvian government against statements made by
speakers at the recent 7th Congress of the Third Interna
tionale were “rejected immediately” by the Soviet Govern
ment.
This announcement was made as officials and news
papers remained silent on the formal United States note pro
testing on the same count. Other governments made their
protests prior to the United States.
No indications are apparent as to when the Soviets will
answer the U. S., if at all. Official Washington waited to
see whether the Russian Ambassador’s contention of the
widespread anti-Soviet propaganda permitted in the United
States, gave a hint of the tenor of the forthcoming note from
! Moscow.
An unofficial comeback to the United States from the
Soviet capital, in answer to the U. S. note protesting flagrant
violation of Soviet pledges to prevent communism activity
aimed at revolution in this country, was read in a statement
by Ambassador Alexander Troyanovsky.
He said that anything said in Moscow by American
citizens about the U. S. was very insignificant compared to
the continuous propaganda in the United States against the
Soviet Union.
