Louisiana legislators debate civil service and home rule for New Orleans as Governor Earl Long prepares a statewide address. House moves to postpone a civil service measure while senators clash over amendments, pensions, and mayoral power. A $475 million general appropriation bill also looms, with discussions on a state lending agency to spur reforestation and a Lake Pontchartrain toll causeway plan facing defeat.
