6 MAIL TRIBUNE, Mriford, Or. Thursday, Jmm 25, 195 Governor Long Speaks To People OnSmuggledTape Baton Rouge, La. - (CPU, -Gov. Earl K. Long appealed to th people of Louisiana in a smuggled tape recording Wednesday night to pray him ut of the mental hospital Into which he said he was railroaded by his "jealous" wife and ambitious nephew, U. S. Sen. Russell B. Long. Political observers specu lated the colorful meander ing stump-type speech, broad cast on radio stations through out the state, might draw thousands of political sup porters to the Covington Jun ior High school basketball court where Long will appear for a district court habeas corpus proceeding Friday. Wifo Flews Stat .His wife, Mrs. Blanche Long, whom he bitterly -accused of conspiring with his political enemies, fled the state Tuesday indicating she would make no further ef fort to force mental treat ment on her husband. Friends said she believed he would be released a Friday's hear ing and feared his alleged "homicidal tendencies." The court will not rule on Long's sanity but on whether he was properly committed to the state hospital. Wants. Sanity Ruling New Orleans radio station WNOE to which Long's at torney, Joe Arthur Sims, took the original recording, quoted the attorney as say ing Long would prefer a san ity hearing -"to enable, him to refute-harges that he suf fers from mental instability.' The iMon also quoted him as saying that 15 doctors were being flown to the hear ing by chartered plane. Long said: "I feel certain that bav ins a man like the Hon. Rob ert D. Jones of this district : deciding my case that I'll be a free man Friday." Judge Jones had been asked earlier if he could be described as a "Long man" politically. He replied: "I want to make it quit em phatic that whatever politi cal affiliations I may have will never go over into my court." Long said he had never "tried to hurt" his political enemies. 'I have never be lieved in reprisals ... and I want to say this: I have no idea of impeaching anybody, taking advantage of any body." . State in 'Good Hands' He implied he was not presently governor and said the state was in "good hands" - those of Lt. Gov. Lether Frazar and "President pro teia Bill Cleveland." Long's speech, taken from the hospital by Sims, was delivered in a strong, clear voice. It wandered and di gressed, but veteran state house reporters said it "sounded like the same old Earl." , "This is ov. Earl K. Long talking from the MaiK , ' deville hospital," he started' out. "I'm glad to tell you good people that as far as mentally, I never was in bet ter health than I am today. In my whole life, I've never been unconscious except when I was asleep." Later" in the speech h said, "I've satisfactorily re covered mentally." Said Underweight .- But he said he was 11 pounds underweight "after they got through shoving me from one street corner to an other, and put me on stretch ers and tying me and shoot- ing me with hypodermics." "Eve been undermined by my nephew, by my wife, and my supposed-to-be-cousin Ar thur Long in Baton Rouge, who means no more to me than the moon," Long said. "Thes people who wanted to kill the loan shark bill and Russell Long wanting to be governor has conspired with my wife, who is one of the most jealous women that God ever let live on this earth, and really and truly -she Jas vlry little to be jtalous about." .
