ALLEGED THREAT
TO HUEY LONG. (Received 10 a.m.) WASHINGTON, August 10. Mr Huey Long, Louisiana, read into the Senate’s records today what purported to be a transcript of a dictaphone recording of a meeting of his political enemies. One was alleged to have proposed that Mr Long be “shot down on the floor of the Senate, because I have not the slightest doubt that President Roosevelt would pardon anyone who did so.” Mr Long said he could not identify the voices, but a certain member of the House of Representatives, Mr J. N. Sandlin (Democrat, Louisiana), was among those present. Mr Sandlin commented that Mr Long was merely ranting.
