FRIDAY. JUNE 1". 1959 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE 5 A Cursing, Violent Long Battles Sheriff's Aides BATON ROUGE, U. APl Hoartcly screaming curses. Gov. Krl K Long of Louisiana bait let all the way with sheriff's deputies Thursday night as they hauled him to a menial hospital (or the second time in three weeks. "God damn it, God damn it. God.damn it," the rumpled and sweating governor bellowed. "Hell, I'm not going to get in there." he yelled when they tugged him into a sheriff's car to take him to southeast Louisiana Slate Hospital at Mandeville. So miles to the east. The B-year-old governor swung a roundhouse right at a deputy but missed. "You-all look, you all look," he shouted. Dr. Chester Williams, coroner of East Baton Rouge Parish, said Gov. Long had suffered from delu sions of-persecution. The medical name is paranoic schizophrenia. But Long remained unconvinced that he needed hospital treatment. I don't feel I need to be hos pitalized," Long told physicians at the Mandeville institution.

"PEEPER" NEARLY BLIND MILWAUKEE, Wii (UPP-EN mer Mueller was fined $25 Thurs day on conviction of being a "peeping Tom." Mueller is blind In the right eye and has very lim. Ited vision in the left. Dr. Charles Belcher, acting su perintended, of Southeast, indicat ed Thursday night in an interview with the Associated Press that Long must remain in his hospital at least 30 days. This latest chapter in the weird and tragic story of Earl KemD Long pitched Louisiana politicians inlo additional jitters. Who is to take over the duties of governor? Lt. Gov. L?ther Frazar, it is supposed, will s:ep inlo the breach, as he did when members Of the I1H0 familv flau, liw.ir.naji I " - 3 1 " - an4 .....

Ii. his New Orleans hotel, the lieutenant governor hastily de clined to say one word on the situ ation. "Oh, no, I have nothing to say. 1 have no comment." he said as he ducked into an elevator. I He told another reporter: "I don't know what my status is. Ii don't know what is going on." Atty. Gen. Ja Gremillion said: "The only thing I can say is the law provides that if the gov ernor is unable to serve, the lieu tenant governor acls as governor ad interim until the disability is removed." Then he added: "However, I am not attempting to tell the lieuten ant governor what to do." The fantastic events leading im mediately to Long's detention at Mandeville began Thursday morn ing when the restless governor in formed his wife and doctors at Ochsm-r i Foundation Hospital in New Orleans that he planned to leave. The governor's release from the Galveston clinic had been ar ranged in a compromise with Long's family and a promise that he would take at least two weeks of treatment at Ochsner. For three and a half hours doc tors argued. Long remained ada mant. This interval gave Mrs. Long time . to arrange for the pickup. : When his car crossed the East Baton Rouge Parish line, deputies stopped it, then drove him to the parish courthouse. Long, growing angry, refused to move from his car. Dr. Williams and another physician interviewed the gover nor as he sat on the front seat smoking a cigarette and joking. They obtained, then, an 'order frorn Dist.' Judge Fred Leblanc commiling the- governor to the state hospital. That's when the fireworks really started. The scene shouting police, ar rested newsmen, barricades and threats of campra smashing harked back to a day long dead when Long's elder brother, the late'Huey P. Long, ran Louisiana as his own kingdom. Dr. Williams said later that Gov. Long had thoughts and be liefs not fully based on fact. He also said he had a bad heart. - At Mandeville, Dr. Belcher said Long had been given a hasty phy sical and assigned to a private room in one of the hospital's 20 buildings. The governor faces a more exhaustive physical examin ation today. . m 1 i T 1 dm SIGURD SOLVASON KF Resident Heart Victim Sigurd Solvason. 70, a native ol I'embina, North Dakota, and a resident of Klamath Falls for the past four years, died at Hillside Hospital.
