THE SUN, BATVriatOIlE, WEDNESDAY MOHNIXG, MAT 3T. 1933 5 i 'FORMER OFFICIAL'S WIFESDES LONG Mrs! Pleasant, Whose Husband Was Louisiana Governor, Asks $250,000 SENATOR DENIES CLAIM riaintifT Says She Was Arrested And Ejected From State House On Order Of Defendant iBy the Associated Press 1 Baton Rouge, May 30 Senator Huey P. Long today was named defendant in a $250,000 damage action filed by Mrs. Anne Ector Pleasant, wife of former Gov. Ruffin Pleasant, who charged the Senator with defaming her character and with illegally i causing her arrest in connection with a reputed attempt to eject her from the State Capitol here a year ago.

Mrs. Pleasant, who, with her hus- band, has played a leading role in the dores (stelfeinig waft i Long opposition camp" in recent years, charged that Long "without cause" ordered her arrest after he had directed that she be put out of the State House during the 1332 legislative cession. Sought Information At Time Her suit says the incident occurred June 15, 1932, when she was in the office of Miss Alice Lee Grosjean, State Supervisor of Public Accounts, seek ing data on "the practice of nepotism and the questionable use and disposition of taxpayers' money in certain State offices, departments and insti tutions." She alleged that the Senator had called her before witnesses "a drunken, cursing woman," and had ordered her ejection by R. L. Whitman, super intendent of the State Bureau of Iden tification.

The suit charged that Whitman eized her and that "for an appreciable time she was held in custody gainst her will by the said Whitman, at the command of the said Huey P. Long, who wis not a peace officer and i had no authority to cause arrests to be made in the said State. Long Denies Charge 4 At Washington Senator Long de nied that Mrs. Pleasant had been ejected from the Capitol by him. "That means that up to date I have been sued for $1,250,000.

There's such thing as a man living on the in terest of what he owes," Long said "I don't think she (Mrs. Pleasant) was ever thrown out of the Capitol." He added that she at least had never been ejected by him. Mrs. Pleasant described herself in her suit as "a law-abiding citizen who had deported herself as a woman of respectability, character and honor," and asked $250,000 damages for "the consequent hurt, humiliation and mortification" which she said she suffered as a result of the alleged Incident. Former Governor Pleasant's name headed a list of distinguished counsel nLsui for the plaintiff.

HARDLY COULD IN ANNOUNCING ESSOLENE, which will be on sale June 2nd, the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey makes the above guarantee with a full understanding of the importance of such a statement by this comparifi The public is accustomed to fantastic and exaggerated claims in gasoline advertising. It has heard of so many "Super" gasolines seen so many words piled upon words about "anti-knock" properties, "mileage," "quick-starting," etc, that all such descriptions have, quite properly, come to mean nothing As leader of the industry for more than half a century, the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey recognizes a double responsibility to the public First, the responsibility to pioneer in improvements and new developments no matter how great the expense Second, never to lend its name to a product until that product has proved its worth, and the validity of every statement made about it Such is the position we take about Essolene.

We stand squarely behind it as a great motor fuel improvement. Automobile engines have improved rapidly in the last few years. Gasoline improvement has not kept pace.
