The Louisiana dlstatorshlp of the lat Senator Huey P. Long presented "a greater respect for co institutional authority than the new deal," Senator Stelwer declared. "In aubtle method and furtive ap proach the new deal excels," he said. "In candor, in consistent purpose and In fuflllment of promises It suffers by the comparison." Citing what he said were "Infer ences" from the communist interna tional congress at Moscow last month, Senator Stelwer warned that "Amer ica Is not yet thoroughly aroused to the danger which confronts us."
