Governor Hauled
To State Hospital
BATON ROUGE, La., Wt —
Hoarsely screaming curses, Gov
ernor Earl K. Long of Louisiana
battled all the way with sheriff’s
deputies last night as they hauled
him to a mental hospital for 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 shediff’s car
to take him to Southeast Louisi
ana State Hospital at Mandeville.
The 63 - year - old Governor
swung a roundhouse right at a
deputy but missed.
Dr. Chester Williams, coroner
of East Baton Rouge Parish, said
Governor Long had suffered from
delusions of persecution. The
medical name is paranoic schizo
phrenia.
But Long remained unconvinced
that he needed hospital treat
ment.
“I don’t feel I need to be hos
pitalized,” Long told physicians
at the Mandeville institution.
Dr. Charles Belcher, acting su
perintendent of Southeast, indi
cated Thursday night in an inter
view with the Associated Press
that Long must remain in his hos
pital at least 30 days.
This latest chapter in the weird
and tragic story of Earl Kemp
Long pitched Louisiana politicians
into additinal jitters. Who is to
take his place as Governor is the
big question.
Lt. Governor Lether Frazar, it
is supposed, will step into the
breach, as he did when members
of the Long family flew a drugged
and unwitting Governor May 30
to a psychiatric clinic in Galves
ton, Texas. However, nothing is
certain.
In his New Orleans hotel, the
Lieutenant Governor hastily de
clined to say one word on the
situation.
“They may impeach me for
being so dumb,” Frazar told news
men, “But I don’t know where
I stand.”

Young Republicans Asked
To Consider Anchorage
Site for ’61 Convention
DENVER, UPi — With the slo
gan. “No. 49 for ’61,” the Alaska
delegation is booming Anchorage
as the site for the National Young
Republican Convention in 1961.
Ken Masters of Anchorage,
chairman of the Alaska delega
tion, said his group has solicited
the support of a half-dozen areas
at the current convention here.
Masters did not identify the areas.
In a telegram to the convention,
National GOP Committeeman
Wally Hickel of Alaska said:
“The Republican Party of Alas
ka extends a most cordial invita
tion to YRs to hold their 1961
convention within the limited area
Alaska has to offer, which is only
one-fifth the total area of all the
other 49 states.
“Urge serious consideration of
our largest city, Anchorage, which
can provide housing of the type
to which you are accustomed.
Otherwise, any other community
will welcome you with provision
delegates provide own sleeping
-bags, use midnight sun for light
ing and nature’s own system of
air conditioning. We guarantee
complete insect control.”
The convention will recommend
a 1961 meeting place at its final
session Saturday. The National
Young Republican executive com
mittee will choose the site later.
Bartlett Asks for V. A.
Hospitalization Contracts
WASHINGTON, UFi — Legisla
tion offered Wednesday would
permit the Veterans Administra
tion to contract with private hos
pitals in Alaska for treatment of
war veterans.
The bill was introduced by Sen
ator Bartlett. It was co-sponsored
by Senator Gruening.
Bartlett said because Alaska has
no V.A. hospitals, “treatment in
private hospitals is the only feas
ible way to provide Alaska veter
ans with the very same benefits
which veterans in the other states
are enjoying.”
Soviet Submarine
Construction Slow,
Says U. S. Admiral
ANCHORAGE, UP — Admiral
James S. Russell said this week the
Russians have resumed submarine
construction at a much slower pace
than what it was before it was cut
to virtually nothing two years
ago.
Russell is the vice chief of U. S.
naval operations. In a speech pre
pared for the local council of the
Navy League, he said that by the
time Russia throttled down subma
rine production it had built the
biggest peacetime submarine force
in history — 550 boats.
Two-thirds of these craft are
believed to be long range ocean
patrol types constructed since
World War II.
Between 1950 and 1956, Rus
sian sub construction increased
yearly and reached “a phenome
nal peak in 1956 of about 100
submarines,” which meant a com
plete submarine was being pro
duced every third or fourth day
of that year, Russel said.
“Suddenly this massive rate of
production was cut off,” the ad
miral continued. “In 1957 there
was practically no submarine
building. In 1958, however, pro
duction of a new long-range type
was initiated, but at a much slow
er pace than before.”
Hear about the little moron
who ate bullets so his hair would
come out in bangs.
