Narrow Front Exit Features UNDER a strict Interpretation of the postal definition of what constitutes obscene ltlerature the Bible would be barred from the malls Saturday afternoon when the stieet mob was at Its helghth a chauffeur leaned against the corner of Ivey's fast aslrep The milling folks disturbed him not a bit But his bosswoman made her way through the sea of people and shook him awake Chicago March The gay club Rendezvous Jammed with a hundred merrymakers was converted Into a flaming Inferno that left six dead and 18 seriously burned today all victims of an overflow crush of fear crazed patrons who clogged the club's single narrow front exit Festivities were at their height early yesterday at Ihe roadhouse a remodeled bungalow In suburban San Francisco March Speculation which began to buy? i a month ago when former Pteslclent Hoover bioke a long silence to urge immediate stabilisation of the dollar and return to the gold standard flared high today at his outspoken attack on administration policies made In a message to the California republican assembly at Sacramento It was pointed out that Mr Hoover's direct mention of "the administration" as a target of criticism was the first he has made since he left the White House Still Silent About nitl Although the talk here quickly BRETHREN this is a colyum about Huey Long Esq head man of Louisiana and the membeis of this flock who do not crave to hear about this upstart from the lowlands had Just as well stop right now I had an idea that he was one thing and found out that he was sump'll clue and that whs the experience of about everybody who got acquainted with him on his recent pilgrimage to South Carolina He is no curiosity at all and those who expect to see him climb a telephone pole eat some razor blades and take some white pigeons out of his hat are disillusioned He Is Just a plain soit of man He is a shrewd lawyer has a genius for publicity knows how to make a speech to any sort of crowd and is one of the most artless men I have ever talked with "I know" leaps to Ills lips ss naturally as the expression would come to ten-year-old school boy "Hell he said to me when I asked him if it was anv embarrassment to him to confess his lgorance on certain economic questions "You said Huey "I didn't go to college My father sent the other boys but he was too pore to send me THE BISHOP and he thought I wasn't worth it anyway He was probably right for if I had gone to college I might have been hung before now There are lots of things that I don't know and then there are some things that I think I know but haven't made up my mind about yet" Well you can't beat that To meet up with a politician who says that he does not know everything shat has been written and several things which ought to be written Is somewhat refreshing The Kingflsh did several things which Impressed me He called up gentleman to prove his contentions The party folks made a serious mistake in trying to disturb Brother Long's meeting with a big banner on which they had "We Love Our President" As they moved about in the crowd with It the Kingflsh said "Fetch it up here on the platform where everybody can see it I love him too but let him have his own party he does not need to dL-turb my meettrg" That got the crowd and the boys banner looked sorter Morton Grove when the first tongue A sour note among those

The Impression was obtained from sources rinse to Mr Hoover however that for the ptesent at lcat he Is far more romemed over policies than pi evident les His Intimates outline hts attitude as being determined while well aware of the Inevitability of political talk attar ked to anv stand or was filled Many were Northwest ern students who had Just come from a school musical comedy stage production The girl who had aent the rrj ringing through the building snatched her wrap and made for the only exit except the kitchen door a narrow doorway on the east side of the dance hail This doorway best to call the meeting said Huey and then to the delegation of students in hts rooms he said "Boys let it go but yu fellers come down to hotel and hav-lunrh with me Bring the girls If they want to come and 111 make the president of the state university Columbia and told him "I would not think of coming on your campus if it would embarrass you In the least" The pres'deut assured him that he would be welcomed to the campus but told him that there had been some Jov-erlng about his engagement to talk to the students Well I think it led into an anteioom which led to the street Squirt Hater At Ilame
