Huey Long’s Forces Routed;
Vote Comes To Violent End
Election Is Cancelled
After Armed Forces
Patrol Booths.
BATON ROUGE, La., —(AP) —
Senator Huey P. Long's political
forces were put to rout by violent
ly demonstrating citizens in three
of the 12 parishes of the Sixth con
gressional district Tuesday and
were forced to cancel the con
gressional election in those three
parishes when the residents made
a dispiay of armed resistance to
the proposed balloting.
Elsewhere in the district,. the
election was ordered to proceed
but balloting was very light as
both state highway police and
armed citizens stood near the poll
ing booths, tallying those whao
came to vote. :
The election was designed to
send rMs. Bolivar E. Kemp, Sena
tor Long’s candidate, to the va
cant Sixth district congress seat in
a suddenly '.lled election, without
the holding of a party primary.
The parishes of Tangipahoa,
home of Mrs. Kemp, Livington
and St. Helena in the eastern sec
tor of the district, after a week of
protesting demonstrations in
!which the Kemp ballots ‘were seiz
‘ed and publicly burned @and Sena
tor Long and other administration
leaders were hanged and burned in
effigy, turned out heavily armed
ITuesday to prevent the balloting,
and Lee Ponder, chairman of the
Sixth district demoneratic com
mittee and Long’s spokesman in
’the section, quickly announced the
election had been called off in
those parishes. Ponder said the
cancellation was due to an injunc
ltion issued by Judße Nat Tycer
|late Monday. Similar injunctions
issued elsewhere failed to stop the
election. .
Hig announcement came after
the polling places of the three par
ishes had remained closed long
after opening time-
Voting proceeded here in the
state capital, the Feliciana parish
es, West Baton Rouge, Pointe
Coupee and Iberville, but many
§boxes had not had a single vote
]cast in them long after the open
, ing hour,
I The only “ballot box” in evi
i dence in Tangipahoa was a gar
ibage can set up on the main street
lof Hammond, prominently labelled
“Vote Here If You Want To.”

Attorney General
Says State Exempt
From Process Tax
ATLANTA —(AP)— The con
tention that ‘governmental agencies
of Georgia and other states are ex
empt from payment of the proces
sing taxes imposed under the agri
cultural adjustment act was set
forth Tuesday by Attorney Gener
al M. J. Yoemans of Georgia.
The attorney general, in an opin
ion handed down to Spotswood
Girant purchasing agent of the
state highway department, quoted
a decision of the supreme court of
the United States in support of his
contention.
He quoted the high court in the
case of Panhandle ©OIII company
versus Mississipppi as saying: “the
instrumentalities, means and oper
ations whereby the states eXxert
the governmental powers belonging
to them are exempt from taxation
by the United States. This princi
ple is implied from the independ-l
ence of the national and state gov
ernments within their respective
spheres, and from the provisions]
of the constitution which look to
the maintenance of the dual sys-i
tem.”
The processing taxes under the
AAA Attorney General Yoemans
said, “will necessarily be passed on
to the state and added into the
costs of articleg falling within pro
visions of said agricultural ad
justment act, which are purchased
by ‘the state, and thus the state
would have to bear the tax thus
imposed. This would create a sit
uation which ig analagous to that
which existed in the Panhandle
case, and therefore .the state in
making purchases of articles
which bear the processing tax, is
exempt from the payment of such
.

SOVIET REGULATIONS
OVER RELIGION WILL
APPLY TO AMERICANS
Litvinoff SayS Freedom of
Worship Will Be
Allowed All.
BARS LEAGUE TALK
Commissar, Ready to
Leave Rome, Plans to
Visit Germany.
ROME.—(AP)—Maxim Litvinoff,
foreign commissar of Soviet Rus
sia, said Tuesday that although
Americans in Russia may practice
their own religion, they still must
submit to the religious laws of
that country.
During a long interview with 80
members of the foreign press, con
ducted in English, French and
German at the Soviet embassy, he
said:
“But these laws guarantee every
nation complete religious liberty
“The American, German, Eng
lish, French and others have com=-
plete liberty to practice their re
ligion but the pastors of their re
ligion do not have the right to
conduct propaganda or to prose
lyte.”
Litvinoff gave as his opinion that
the disarmament conference is
dead and he repeated the state
ment he made in America that the
conference is “a cadaver.”
Asked what solution he would
offer for for disarmament, the Rus~
sian statesman replied that the
good will of nations would be suf
ficient to solve the problem “for if
the spirit of the Kellogg pact -ex
isted'dn fact it could be solved, but,
instead, the nations are preparing
for war.”
Litvinoff said he had made no
contact with the Vatican during
his stay in Rome. o
Switching rapidly from one lan
guage to another, the roundfaced
foreign minister said he had dis
cussed with Mussolini questions of
international import. 3
When asked whether Russia
would join a re-formed League of
Nations, Litvinoff adjusted his
black string tie and said, “We
have so many practical questions
to consider now we cannot waste
time on theoretical ones. As to
whether the reorganization of the
League is in prospect I do not
know anything meore about it than
you.” '
He said he would prebaNy re
turn to Moscow by way of Berlin
in order to see the German states
men.
Ag to the possibility that Pre
mier Mussolini might act as a me
diator between Moscow' and Ber
lin, Litvinoff said, “We have suf
ficient diplomatic relations our
selves with Berlin to solve any
question.”
Shortly after the interview, the
commigsar drove to the home of
United States Ambassador Breck
inridge Long for a luncheon at
tended by the members of the
diplomatic corps. ‘He planned to

‘Began Work In 1857
Beginning its work in 1857, the
association struggled along for
geveral years and then lapsed as
the war came on. For some time
after the Civil war no effort was
made to revive it, but in. 1882 pub
lic spirited citizens, feeling the
need for a resumption of the work
among the young men of Athens
and the vicinity, reorganized the
association and it has functioned
ever since.
The minutes of the organization
from that first re-organization
meeting in 1882 have been kem\
without interruption and are on
file at the association building.
These minutes are of untold value
because of the many names now
prominent in the life of Athens and
the state contained in them.

MONETARY POLICY
15 IN NEW PHASE
Future Plans Are Closely
Guarded, But No Change
!s Seen At Present.
WASHINGTON —(P)— Sluggish
responses of financial and com
modity markets to recent gold
price advances and a sturdier dol
lar abroad combined Tuesday to
indicate tha; President Roosevelt's,
monetary policy has entered a
new phasge of its development.
The course from this stage,
‘which was accompanied by a
stronger government bond mar
ket, was closely guarded. Not
since the RFC posted its first gold
price had there been official in
dications of a shift in the presi
dent’s plans.
But the apparent steadied re
ception both at home and abroad
of latest gold price advances to
the high of $34.01 an ounce was
believed in some quarters teo
poing the need of new energy to
achieve Mr. Roosevelt's declared
purpose of higher commiodity
prices,
Further and more vigorous boosts
in the daily gquotation was one
course discussed unofficially. Heave
ier buying of foreign gold was an
other. Purchases abroad have been
concealed carefully but up to mow
have been light, while all domes
tic offerings of newly-mined metal
have been taken.
Mr. Roosevelt watched the situ
ation closely. Whatever his plans
he kept them to himself.
One accompaniment of the
stronger dollar has been a firmer
government bond market. Before
the week is out, Acting Secretary
Morgenthau plans to announce the
treasury’s program for meeting
$727,000,000 of December 15, ma
turities and possibly offering ad
ditional securities in exchange sot
Fourth Liberty Loan bonds.
Some who looked for a new step
in Mr. Roosevelt’s currency plansg
‘reealled that his, gold buying poli
cy was disclosed just a few days
after a mid-October sale of $500,-

bonds. They considered any im
portant change in his present pol
iecy unlikely until after the, Decem
