Huey Long’s Throne Totters as Judge Dissolves Grand Jury to “Preserve Public Confidence in State Courts” NEW ORLEANS —(#)— Charges growing out of diserepancies found in the ballot boxes on the recount will be laid before a new grand jury that will be empanelled to succeed the one suddenly dissolved by a court judge to “preserve pub lic confidence in the courts.” The report of a citizens’ commit tee named by the court to recount pallots in six of the contested boxes used in the November voting on constitutional amendments will be studied by District Attorney Fugene Stanley before the charges are filed.

The opening and the counting of the ballots came at the end of an eight months’ fight led by the dis trict attorney with the support of the Honest Election league and the State and City Bar associations. At the outset of his investiga tion into charges of election fraud, the district attorney met with ob stacles that finally resulted in the full weight of the Huey P.

The three-fold aim of NRA, in creased employment, higher wages and shorter working hours, all a part of the Roosevelt vast program for economic recovery, will be carried out under the general su pervision of NRA at Washington, but the local and state committee must furnish the driving power, and act for NRA in most instan ces. | With the adoption of store ‘hours today by the group of retail merchants which * includes hard ware, variety, ready-to-wear, dry 'goods, department and furniture ‘stores, all groups here have ar ranged their schedules.

The schedule was adopted by majority vote of the mer chants, a gommi'ttee having met this morning at the chamber of commerce to canvass the vote and tabulate the results. Thursday half-holidays will be observed throughout this month. The maximum hours for em ployes in the above group is 40 hours but stores, under the above schedule, - will remain open 59 hours. Under the agreement stores cannot open before the hour agreed upon and cannot close after the hour agreed upon by this particular group. With the adoption of business hours by all groups, the first phase of the big recovery program is over.
