Concessions
BATON ROUGE, La.. Sept 14 —
(#•)— Another special session of
Louisiana's oft-convened legislature
appeared inevitable Saturday, this
time to und# some of the work it
had pushed through at the dictation
of Senator Huey Long.
As the Long force sought peace
with the White House and anti
Long elements renewed their oppo
sition to the machine left by the
assassinated dictator, special session
talk was heard in both camps.
Wife May Seek Seat
j At the same time the possibility
^ that Long's name would be carrirxl
on in public office arose when it
became known that an attempt
might be made to have his widow
accept appointment to her h
band's unexpired term, which has
a year and four months to run.
Sources cloee to the leadership
•aid such a plan had been discussed
• at some conferences.
Prom Judge B. H. Pavy. father
in-law of the man who shot Senator
Long last Sunday night, came the
assertion Saturday that the shoot
ing “must have been an act of God."
He said he was at a loss to ex
plain why his son-inlaw. Dr. Carl
A. Weiss Jr., had sent a bullet Into
Senator Long’s abdomen, but de

Laws Need Repealing
' The Long lieutenant*, deciding
on a major departure from their
, leader’s policies In conferences look
ing to a truce offer with President
Roosevelt, will need legislative ac
tion to repeal some of the dictated
statutes enacted lr the seven special
] sessions held sines last year. Some
i of these laws w?re aimed directly
at the Roosevelt administration as
Long, deprived of federal patronage,
attempted to regulate federal relief
expenditures in Louisiana and to
Inaugurate a "state's rights" test of
Roosevelt policies.
Anti-Long leaders want a special
session to repeal some f the Long
Mection laws, vesting broad ontroi

J guadrennial state primaries In Jan
aary. at which Senator Long's suc
cessor for the full term, congress

Confirmation of a proposed truce
between the Long political heirs
and President Roosevelt came from
Congressman Paul H. Maloney, who
said after a state administration
caucus:
"The battle between Senator Long

Soap Suit Involving Millions
Decided Favoring Defendants
SOUTH BEND. Ind- Sept 14.
i/P—Federal Judge Thomas W.
Slick, ruling Saturday on a
patent infringement suit involv
ing several million dollars, held
the Lever Bros. company of Ham
■ mond, Ind.. had not infringed
upon patents held by Procter and
Gamble and the Colgate-Palm
olive Peet companies.
The complaining companies al
leged Lever Bros . a British con
cern with a factory at Hammond,
infringed upon patents owned by
them for the spray drying of
liquid soap.
Trial of the suit occupied the
federal court seven weeks last
October and November and the
court room was filled with exhibits
showing the process of soap man
ufacture.
Judge Slick said the question
of patent infringement Involved
the approximation of certain vari
ables used in manufacture of a
product called Rinso.
"The rational answer.” he said,
“would seem to be that they may
be approximated within a reas
onable degree ”
Attorneys said the amount of
damages claimed was problem
atical but was in the millions.
It was indicated the case will
go to the U S. Supreme Court for
final disposition.

what portion ol it carried double
I indemnity clauses. There is a $28 000

John Barrytnore,
Pretty 19-Year-Old
Protege Drift Apart
NEW YORK. Sept. 14. {JFh-John
Barrymore, sta*e and screen actcr.
has broken with his 19-year-old
protege, the pretty Elaine Barrie,
and there la little chance of re- I
conciliation, her lawyer* said Sat- i
urday.
Barrymore, now being aued for
divorce in California by the for
mer Dolores Costello who quit the j
screen to become hi* wife, stormed
out of the apartment building In 1
which the Hunter college girl live*
Thursday night.
Aaron Sapiro, counsel for Miss
Barrie who as recently as early
August went shopping with Barry
mere for bedroom suites here—fi
nally buying a directotre set—said
Saturday:
“At present there is to my way cl
thinking no possibility that things
will be patched up between Miss
Barrie and Mr. Barrymore.
“There are. however, some hu
man factors that go beyond the
knowledge of '•an attorney, and
•ven beyond the ken of a person's
closest confidante*
“Right now, I can only say that,
barring these unknown equations,
I do not think that Miss Barrie
and Mr. Barrymore will resume
their former relations."
“Neither Miss Barrie nor hei
parents feel any bitterness toward
Mr. Barrymore." Sapiro said.
“Just a deep sympathy,” the
lawyer added.
For neighborhood reports that
the actor and his oonstant com
panion of yachting parties and
night clubs had broken off after a
loud and vlrgorous quarrel, in
which Barrymore was called a
“madman" and Miss Barrie was
the object of a vigorous response,
the lawyer had nothing but scorn.
"The story is an exaggeration by
gossips.” he said.
Barrymore, who Is 53.yean old,
could not be reached for comment.
He has stated, however, that his
interest In Miss Barrie was pro
fessional rather than romantic.

Italian Broadcast Directed

LONDON. Sept. 14. (*V-'The Brit

representation to Italy concerning

broadcast by the Italian radio sta

Previously the government had

Great Britain objected Included the
statement: "All the world knows

the British rule In Egypt and Pal

Consideration was given to the
possibility that the Geneva pledge
of Premier Laval may have been
given at the possible expense of
Mussolini's friendship.
It was therefore realized In offi
cial circles that some more def
inite guarantee of British co-opera
tion In central Europe might be re
quired—Indeed. France has already
made formal Inquiry regarding such
assurance In respect to Austria.
The French premier s speech, ac
cepted here as a definite if possi
bly reluctant pledge of France to
live up to Its full obligations to the
league, was received with varying
degrees of enthusiasm, misgiving
and doubt.

Whether his speed will supplant
