hours, despite frantic efforts of
eight physicians who resorted to
blood transfusion. Loeb was 30
years old.

brutal slaying of Robert Franks, Y 2

Senate Committee Approved AAA
Substitute Measure by 14-2 Vote
Few Still Believe Bill. to
Be Unconstitutional as
t House Group Confers
WASHINGTON — P — T h e
senate agriculture committee to
day approved the revised adminis
tration soil conservation farm bill
by a vote of 14 to 2.
Senators leaving the closed meet
ing reported the vote and said very
few new changes were made in the
measure, which was introduced by
Senator Bankhead, Democrat, Ala
bama, after White House confer
ences.
Although Secretary Wallace and
Solicitor General Stanley Reed had
expressed opinions the bill is con
stitutional, several committeemen
still considered it outside the
bounds of the supreme court de
cision invalidating AAA.
The bill vests broad powers in
the secretary of agriculture to
make grants to farmers for econ
omic use of their lands. It is a
temporary two-year measure de
signed to serve as a stop-gap until
a permanent program is enacted
based on federal grants to states,
Today’s action was attributed by
‘some senators to demands from
the farm belt for a speedy vote.
On the house side, the agricul
tux;e committee was in recess un
til the latter part of the week.

Short Term
BATON ROUGE, La—{&P)—Gov
ernor Oscar Kelly Allen lay dead
today but his office had passed
to sanother man pledged to carry
on the policies of the slain Sena

Allen, lifelong friend and politi
cal ally of Long, died unexpect
edly yesterday of a cerebral hem

Lieut. Gov. James A. Noe had
taken the oath as governor to
fill out the term expiring May 11.
Noe, proseprous oil and gas op
erator from Monroe, pledged him
self to make ‘“no change in the
policy” of the state-
Following the fatal shooting of
Long last autumn Noe led an
abortive revolt against Allen’s
leadership of the Long faction by
announcing for the governorship
in opposition to the administra
tion's candidate.
The bolt was short-lived, how
ever, as he soon withdrew from
the race and worked with the
Longites in their successful cam
paign for retention of the state’s
chief political prizes.
Observers today were most in
terested in the disposition of the

A few hours before the musicie
