Louisiana Officials
Uncertain Who’s
Chief Executive
BATON ROUGE, La., —
Louisiana officals were at logger
heads at the week’s end as to
-who was the state’s chief execu
tive since Governor Earl Long
indicated he may be plotting an
other court battle to free himself
from court-ordered treatment in
a mental hospital.
Lt. Gov. Lether Frazar. a friend
of the 63-year-old ailing Gover
nor. said he wants legal advice
before formally taking over as
acting Governor. Secretary of
State Wade Martin Jr., a political
enemy of Long, said he would
continue to recognize Long as
Governor. He challenged Frazer’s
right to. take over without formal
certification of Long’s inabilty
to act.
“Governor Long has been irre
sponsible for some time, but there
has been no legal declaration of
that ” Martin said.
Long called for legal counsel
from his ward at the Southeast
Louisiana Hospital at Mandeville,
54 miles to the east of this capitol
city where he and his brother, the
late Huey P. Long, began thriving
on peppery politics in the 1920’s.
State police and sheriff’s depu
ties overpowered the cursing,
fighting Governor Thursday night
and rushed him to Mandeville. A
physician and a psychiatrist said
he suffered from paranoial schizo
phrenia — delusions of perse
cution.

Over Twin Beds
CHICAGO, tfl —• An Oskosh,
Wis., bed manufacturer says he
has the answer to the old single
bed vs. double bed controversy.
What is needed, he says, is a
revival of the bundling bed of
New England Puritan days, with
its center board separating bed
mates.
History has it that early Amer
ican courting couples seeking
warmth slipped into the bed fully
dressed in opposite sides of the
center board.
The manufacturer, showing a
pilot model at the Chicago Furni
ture Show, says: “The bundling
bed may very well add up to a
happy medium in the battle be
tween twin and double beds.
