Long Plans Radio Appeal Over Controversial Road Bond
Baton Rouge La Nov 6 Governor Earl Long will urge Louisiana voters by radio tonight to back a 140 million dollar road bond and 23 amendments. He aims to answer critics and clear up distortions about the bond. The 7 30 p m CST broadcast will air on 27 stations. Opponents include Lucille May Grace and Sen Dudley J LeBlanc who say the bond serves Long and a potential constitutional convention to extend his term. LeBlanc claims Long seeks to stay in office 12 to 18 years and that the bond would circumvent the convention with 95 million for highways and 45 million for a New Orleans bridge and tunnel.
