(Exclusive) Senator Long of Louisiana re-noinced the southern tradition to-day and invited Negroes in the north to join his share-the-rich clubs. Numerous Washington dispatches have reported that he plans to run for president in 1936, and today's statement by the senator was con-strued by some political observers as his first play for the colored vote. While Huey paraded barefoot about his three-room suite in the Hotel New Yorker he was asked if he knew that Joesph A. David, 65 years of age, a Negro preacher in the heart of Harlem, was the prin-cipal organized of a Long club. "Can the Negro vote in the North?" he countered. "Well they can become members of the clubs. In fact, we want them. They don't vote in the South, you know."

She told the court that a quarrel with her husband shortly before a bridge game was so unnerved her that she was unable to concentrate on the play, and, as a result, trumped her husband's ace. This, she said, made her husband so angry she was forced to take a reuge under the staircase of a neighbor's home.

The purchase and withdrawal from production of unprofitable bituminous mines also was suggested by the mineral policy com-mitte of the National Resources Board, which predicted a shortage of oil within fifteen years. Save for coal, however, the com-mittee said it favored "retention of the system of private operation" of the mineral industries "with govern-ment supervision when necessary."

The writer has been associated with Miss Earhart since 1929 and has flown in competition with her in closed course air races. Together they helped organize the "99 Club," national organization of women pilots.) An Amazon-a superhuman-a boy in disguise-she "did it with mirrors." All these things have been said of Amelia Earhart. The world today is wondering what manner of person Amelia really is. "COMPLETELY FEMININE" The Amelia her flying sisters know is an entirely different person from the one the world sees, dressed in boyish flying attire, with her golden hair cropped short. To those who know her, she is utterly and completely feminine, low-voiced, calm, cultured, well-bred, and a thorough gentlewoman. She neither smokes nor drinks, but she likes to sit on the floor in front of a fireplace and sip hot chocolate, or raid the ice box at midnight. And she is a not unworthy opponent in a pillow fight. But she was routed once during one by being dunked in the swimming pool with her clothes on. She merely grinned and dried off before the open fireplace. FAMED FOR CLOTHES She affects smart tweeds and more or less tailored clothes in the daytime, and in the evening her gowns are so lovely that she has been named as one the ten best dressed women in the country. After all that she has accomplished she would easily be forgiven if she should be a little bit "high-hat," but she isn't. Even now she doesn't believe that she has done anything to "make such a fuss about." "Anybody could do it," she mused last night. "Certainly-every morning before breakfast." She laughed, but grew serious again, and really meant it when she said, "Well, most anyone who could sit still long enough." HOME LIFE NOT NEGLECTED As for "settling down" and raising a family, anent her husband's now famous remark-"I'd rather have a baby"-Amelia feels that she is perfectly capable of running her household, raising a family, and flying also. She doesn't see the necessity of giving up flying in order to carry on at home, any more than she would consider giving up driving a car in order to devote herself to her household duties. She feels that she is in the same position as any other woman who runs her home, and pursues a career outside at the same time. She doesn't see how flying should interfere with normal home life. FLYING NOT TIRING She uses flying merely for transportation, and says the sole reason she made the Pacific flight was "because I wanted to." But there was a purpose in her leaving Oakland after only a short nap. She wanted to prove that flying should not be tiring. "Anyone who is jittery after a flight, should never fly," she said. "My ship, my motor, and I myself are in perfect condition. The radio quoted me as saying I was tired, but the sentence was incomplete. I was trying to say that I was tired of seeing so many clouds." She many have tired of the clouds, but she has spoken many times since of the great stars that kept coming up out of the sea as she winged her solitary way to the mainland. She has a deep appreciation of the beauties of nature. Amelia wore the flying outfit on this latest flight that she wore when she flew the Atlantic. It is a natty brown slack suit made of Grenfell, a new material of specially treated cotton. With this suit goes a brown leather jacket, a batik scarf, and shoes of the soft moccasin type. [[image]] [[caption]] Mildred Morgan [[/caption]] Over this on her flights she wears a jumper suit of the same material as her slacks. So that she can meet Palmer Putnam, her husband, when he arrives from Honolulu on the Lurline Thursday, she is going out on one, to meet the liner before it docks. HERE FOR THREE WEEKS Mrs. Amy Otis Earhart, mother of the famous girl, is a gentlewoman of the old school type, and just as gracious as Amelia. She will stay here with them in their Toluca Lake home. Mr. Putnam will be detained on business for three weeks or longer, and they both plan to remain until he is finished. Mrs. Earhart deplored the criticism that was directed toward Amelia at the start of her flight. "They said that it was foolhardy," she said. "Why, Amelia never did anything foolhardy in her life. She carefully prepares for what she plans to do, and then just simply goes ahead and does it. But at a time like this she should have had all the encouragement anyone could give her. The criticism hurt her deeply." AMELIA EARHART CITIES UPSET IN FLIGHT PLAN (Continued from First Page) interviewers until she appeared at the airport yesterday, she had not seen her mother since her landing at Los Angeles Sunday. PLANS UNCERTAIN What the flyer and her husband will do after his arrival is uncertain. Miss Earhart stated yesterday. If his publishing business permitted however, they will spend the rest of the winter in Los Angeles. Miss Earhart's Oakland-Washington flight was only abandoned last Saturday at mightnight, after she had found weather conditions unfavorable. She had retired following here arrival from Honolulu, for a short rest, hoping to make a sudden departure shortly after on Sunday. Speaking of her solo hop from the Hawaiian Island, the aviatrix called it "merely a job to be done." DISCOMFORT DENIED "Excitement?" Absolutely not. And there was no discomfort from the cold or fatigure from the 'strain.'" Miss Earhart smiled, "Of course," she said "I was very happy to see the steamship President Pierce after I had been flying for so many hours.
