is that the regulations require that
these teachers must have been on re

enough teachers who have been on
relief to supply the needs of the pro

Baton Rouge, La., Dec. 6.—(AP)
The sixth congressional district elec
tion ordered by Senator Huey U. Long
in which he picked Mrs. Bolivar E.
Kemp, Sr., for the office vacated by
Representative Kemp's death, is over,
but a fiery memory lingers on.
Hanged by the neck in effigy, soak

gallows while clad in green pajamas,
and threatened with the dummy plac
ard "in effigy now—in person next,”
Huey P. Long, from his Roosevelt
hotel suite in New Orleans ,took stock
today of the rebellion of the district
as he counted the returns of yester
day’s elections.
Governor O. K. Allen issued the
election call after refusing for months
the demands of rival candidates that
he first call a primary to permit them
to run.
Mrs. Kemp was nominated by
Long-controlled members of the dis
trict Democratic executive committee,
who met in New Orleans, outside the
sixth district.
The election was quiet, Compara
tively speaking, but mass meeting
speakings in denunciation of the
method dotted the district in terms
unheard of even before the impeach
ment days of Long, when he reigned
the state as governor and won by the
round robin route.

Greece May
Ask Insull
To Get Out
His Permit Expires
December 31, But
He May Not Return
Here Immediately
Athens. Greece, Dec. 6.—(AP)—The
possibility that more chapters may
be added to that steadily lengthening
story, “the| 'pursuit of Samuel In
sull, case heightened measureably to
day.
Greece, the former American utility
czar’s present haven of refuge fro
extradition, will ask him to leave
when his police permit expires De
cember 31, reliable sources said yes
terday.
But this, it was indicated, should
not be taken to mean, necessarily,
that Insull can be returned imme
diately to Chicago to face embezzle
ment charges growing out of the fall
of his far-flung utilities domain.
The jury received Norris’ case Mon
day night and spent more than 15
hours before reaching a verdict. Nor
ris was in the court room when the
sentence was returned.
The Negroes were indicted more
than two years ago on the charge of
attacking Mrs. Victoria Price and
Ruby Bates on a freight train in Jack
son county.
Heywood Patterson was brought in
to the court room by Norris, Stoically
calm, they watched Judge Callahan
unfold the paper on which was writ*
ten the verdict.
The judge then solemnly intoned,
“We the jury find the defendant guilty
as charged to the indictment and fix
his punishment at death.”
