Re Ey WARD CANNEL K A Staff Correspondent blew Orleans — (NBA) — Contrary to what we have been told officially in meaningless words like "nervous breakdown sins stroke , . , a ll st •ole heart con- dition , . overwork," Louisi-. ana's Gov. Earl Long is actually: 1. Driven frantic- by the tow- ering angers and fears that often beset members of a dynasty. 2, Mentally damaged to a considerable extent — with fur- ther damage likely at any mo- ment. 3, Physically on the edge of death. In short, the elected executive of "Sportsman's Paradise" is "almost completely out of con- trol --and cure is virtually im- possib'le." This is the real diagnosis of Long, made after examinations in three hospitals •by scores of doctors and technicians and ex- plained to me by professional people who could lose their jobs. if their names were attached to the truth. Some of them will be fired ate Of Louisiana wife, who has borne Shin no chit- dren to perpotoate the fame, fortune and fable of the name of Long? But in the light of history, Earl is no '"Iingfish" like Huey, powerful founder of the dynasty, Gov, Huey was on the verge of reaching out for the White House, via a third party threat, when he was shot down by an assassin in 1935, "This is no longer a politician," one doctor said. "And no long- er an official or mature indi- vidual. "This is a human individual Who has had enough of the pre- sures on him, His body ,and mind simply cannot' or will not stand UM strain any more, "He has had enough of the rigors of office. IIe has had enough of the fears of sterility and the pressures of being the childless branch of a dynasty.

EARL LONG: . . a human individual who has had enough of the pressures on him." any w ay simply because no names appear here. But as one nationally -known Louisiana doc- tor told me: "It's a real relief to get this story off my chest. If the gov- ernor wants to hidefrom the facts, that's one thing. But the people of this state have the right to know." His -honesty — and that of his colleagues' — is not shared wide- ly in the state. Many scholars who have intimate understand- ing of this fantastic case play it safe by refusing to talk,. "You can understand my po- sition," you hear again and again. For in this state, the half-light of half - reason is accepted as "the way things are." Long him- self is accepted as both the law Ind its defiance. And more often than not, the shrug has replaced Bhame and righteous indignation. Strangely, psychiatrists tell me, Long had been diagnosing himself in public ever since his dramatic outbursts in the legis- lature in early May. What . kind of politician, the doctors ask, exposes the unhap- py truth about the way his rela- tives were killed, or how he manipulateschurch groups or what extremes he would use to be governor? What kind of official rewrites the laws of mental health and claims he's not sick — and then calls in psychiatrists to treat him? What kind of middle age is it that finds itself preoccupied with children —' any children — and suddenly after 27 years de- cides he's going to divorce his ' FACE"•SAVER Elroy Pacer, above, is a real face-saver for the Pittsburgh Pirates, He's been phenomenal in his role as star relief pitcher for the .steel town's buccaneers this season. elect Long if he wanted to run again. And he wants to. • He has to — in spite of medical predic- tions that he could not survive another campaign. For dynas- ties are very demanding, espe- cially in Louisiana: Governor Huey; Congressman Ge or g e; Senator Russell . and now childless, Governor Earl. Night At Opera Was Her Swan Song From the first the strangest secrets of passion centred around thebirth of lovely Julie de Les- pinasse. The official entry of her birth in 1732' gave as parents the names of two people who never existed. Only the midwife knew that she was the daughter of the noble Comtesse d'Albon and the dissolute Marquis de Vinchy- Chamrond, Julie grew up unaware of the undercurrent of whispers and.in- trigue thather birth had .pro- voked. She was brought, up : as the Comtesse's adopted daughter, side by side with the daughter of full blood, the spoiled, wilful Di- ane d'Albon, When the Marquis de Vichy Chamrond ' married Diane, no, one dared to, hint at the illicit tangle that thus ensued. He was in reality both Julie's father — and her brother-in-law. To the new household 'Julie went as governess, her salary agreed at a pittance, for chill charity gov- erned a family's poor .relations. 7ulie little knew that the grim- faced Marquis was her father. She little guessed,that his abrupt moods of sullen malignancy so often sprang from sad and bit- ter memories. The old castle of Chamrond had sunny family rooms ;over- looking the ;gardens. But Julie's cell-like apartmentwas in the damp ,stone bastion near the moat. Sometimes as she lay shivering in bed she would hear the rats gnawing at the old tim- bers of the drawbridge. When the castle was festive and gay with guests, Julie was banished to her f"dungeon," like a Cinderella, The Vichy-Cham- ronds would allow her no part in the revels. "They treated me like tigers," Julie sadly wrote, . long afterwards. "I suffered atrocities at hands which 'should have given me tendernes9." Yet the day came when an old aunt of the Chamronds, Madame du Deffand, spotted her plight. and suggested that Julie shOuld come and live with.her, The old lady occupied. Only a set of sparsely furnished chambers in a convent. Julie, however, vastly preferred the cloister to the cruel realities of Chamrond. She leapt at the opportunity of escape—and so set in motion die- - tant forces that were to unlock the golden doors of life and love. Julie was in her twenties be - Tore she exchanged Chamrond for the convent of St, Joseph in Paris. For ten years old Madame he r Dei'falid inexorably h ld he it 1 jealous bondage, In the old clays Maclaine had been a wit of renown and social- ites.still visited her to hear those pearls of shrewd malice for which she was famed, But the younger set found Julie incom- parably better company. In that literary, letter -writing world, Julie de Lespinasse soon gained some celebrity of her own. Friends contrived a small Court allowance, sufficient to establish her in her own red - and -gold apartment, Impatiently Julie found herself dreaming of a marriage that .might bring her happiness and social ease, Then she met the handsome, dark -eyed Marquis de 'Mora,, Surely he was the man! He' was the soldier son of the Spanish' ambassador, rich, aril- .tocratic — and his first acquaint- ance with Julie deepened within weeks into passionate love. For Julie, too, the adoration of the pale, romantic Spaniard unfolded a. new world of caresses and wonderment, ' Yet he, was a mere boy of only twenty-three and she was al- ready a maturing woman of nearly thirty-four, Julie longed to know the secret that burned . beneath his glittering eyes. Not long ago, she learned, his girl wife had died in his arms while giving him a son, This was tr.e tragedy that her lovehad pow- er to allay, While Paris hummed round them beyond the red curtains, he begged her to marry hire. Ten- derly Julie assented , but, at the mere whisper of an en- gagement his entire family was up in arms. What, the marriage of ' the Marquis de Mora, scion of one of, the greatest houses of Spain, to a woman of doubtful birth, ten years his senior, socially non- ' existent! It was unthinkable. ' When old hands hold the purse -strings, - young love'•can be checked. The ambassador found it simple to arrange orders for his son to rejoin his regiment. Mora was packed back . to Spain. But the young . man himself -had his cards to play. One night when Julie was scribbling her ardour for him in a letter, she heard his voice. He was at the door he had returned . . she was in his arms! There followed months of rap- turous happiness. As time length- ened Julie's heart seemed empty whenever he was absent. But in his arms her life was richly ful- filled. Yet sometimes Mora w a s strangely flushed, racked by a tearing cough. The crisis of love drew near. He fell illand the doctors diagnosed .tuberculosis. • Only his immediate return :to the sunshine of Spain, they urged, could save 'his life, Family ' pressure ensured that Julie did not accompany him south. Separation, the family still hoped, would efface her image. Frenzied were the letters that passed between the two; lovers. "Every circumstance, every event is against rue," Julie moped. But, at the height of love, is it possible to love afresh? Though she scarcely knew it, Julie was already losing her heart to an- other man! Six weeks before Mora left ' Paris she met the Comte Jacques de Guibert at a garden party. He, too, was ten years her junior. He had written' a play . and 'cherished a hope that some of Julie's theatrical friends might be able to help him with the production. Into •his ears, how- ever, she was soonpouring the confession of her unhappiness. Dazzled by her, de ' Guibert forgot about his, play. And Julie, wondering whether Mora would ever return, found herself 'writ- ing love -letters of equal inten- sity to the two men at once, One night de Guibert took her to the opera, In the satin dusk, behind the locked dOors Of a private box, he took her in his arias and pleaded passionately with her, Next day she was.in an agony of remorse. "The crime of a mo- ment has ruined my whole life," she wrote, She did not know that Mora had set out on a last agonizing jeurney..to meet her. In his lum- bering coach, throughthe moun- tains from Madrid, he scribbled letters to her at every stage of the ;journey. But weeks passed before the news arrived. At Bordeaux he could travel no haemorrhage farther. A fatala oc- a g curred. From his finger they took a ring Julie had given him. It was just ten days after the night ' Of betrayal at the opera. Julie threw herself frantically into the love affair with de Gui- bert, but the inevitable Nemesis was near. Within a few menthe the Comte married another woman, and Julie turned to opi- um to smother regrets she could never hope to shed, She died still clasping Mora's last letter, the letter he had written from Bordeaux exactly a year before.
