Bill Presented For Huge Feast At Roosevelt Hotel
Attorney General Eugene Stanley reviewed a $3 780 70 bill from the Roosevelt hotel in New Orleans for Mignon of Beef Tenderloin with garniture and fixings. The bill, for a banquet honoring President Somoza of Nicaragua on May 2 1939, was allegedly unpaid. Stanley noted 349 covers at 10 each and questioned the hotel’s moral obligation to seek payment. Former Governor Earl K Long and Leche figures loom over the dispute as Somoza’s Louisiana and Washington visits are recalled.
