Baton Rouge Police Jury Defies Huey Long Control Efforts
East Baton Rouge parish police jury refused to recognize Huey P. Long appointments and ordered courthouse control placed with Sheriff Robert L. Pettit. Long already displaced the city streets and parks commissioner as he moves to make Baton Rouge a dictatorial seat. The act from Longs December session would give him a blocking majority on the 13 member jury. In Augusta Georgia a federal judge blocked the $1,000 excise tax on beer in dry states calling it a penalty rather than revenue.
