Wffitm FOES I fhys I DICTATOR SWEEPS INTO BATON ROUGE Hg.ii P By PAUL MAIXON (Copyright. 1935, by Paul Mallon) WASHINGTON. Feb. 1. The King fish Is not getting along aa well as he appears to be. Behind those re sent clashes In Louisiana Is more trouble than Ruey can handle with a bayonet. Up to now the people against .tong In Louisi ana have been those with re sponsibilities, the business class and women's club groups. They could not afford to fight him with PALL MALl.ON his own slightly soiled weapons. -, The Baton Rouge uprising was dlt ffcrent. It was fomented by workers. They can be aa rough as Hucy and more so. Apparently It Is true some of them were Standard Oil workers thrown out of Jobs by Huey'a tac tics. Any one of them may take notion at any time to crown the lcingflsh with a radio set, an alley apple or anything handy. Those in the know say Huey, needs hia bodyguard now nvTC, than ever before. Thore are several sub-surface fac tors in the business situation which do not show up In the figures. The cunreme court will have before It continuously from now until sum mer a lame number of cases affect- tine manv lines of industry. The uncertainty is already having a de terrent effect. Also there Is the ques tion of holding company legislation. It 18 planned only for utilities, but there Is some uncertainty about It Likewise the full effect of railroad pension payments (about 178,000. 000 a year) is Just now beRlnning to be fully felt and Is disturbing from ,a financial standpoint. f These are minor .influences now. They may be over-ridden if the natu ral acceleration of business continues, but they should not be overlooked. . Fractlonally-wltted politicians arc gossiping with Increasing awe about Huey Long and Father Coughlln since the wreck of the world court. If you put a dictaphone In the congres sional cloakrooms, you would hear . surprising number of political tradesmen avowing that they are the two biggest political leaders out side the White House. This idea has been more or less poll-parroted around the country as an open se cret. The White House Itself Is sup posed to believe It. The truth la the really wise poll ' tlclans laugh at It. They figure It out this way: A great many people are dlBsatlsllcd with their lot. As Jong as they are dissatisfied, some of them will cheer any speakers who also express dlssatlsractlon. But as Jar as organizing national political movements on such ft basis (a sc i nous Long-for-presldcnt campaign In '36, for lnstancof. It does not seem to be possible. Proof of that point Ilea In the lact that, while Long. Ccughlln. Up ton SaYiclalr and others have some ef the same following, they have rever got together on anything, and never will. Huey Is secretly trying to build up a national political organization through Ihrfo share-the-wcalth clubs out through the country. He has fabulous figures as to the number of them. No one knows how many there are. but everyone knows, Including tinc. that It will be extremely dlf flcult to onranlr them Into an ef fective DOlltleal party. Huev Is reputed to be wealthy and can throw In enough money to make quite a fight, but President Roosevelt will have more money than Loni!. after the M. 800.000. 000 relief bill causes. This will make rather effective political antidote tor Long-cvlty. Furthermore, the New Deal has hidden long of Its own under wraps He Is Senator Bilbo of Mississippi who flehts the Long way.
