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.

the truth.

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.
"He is telling everybody he is
in trouble, He is forcing him-
self to be; treated medically,"
But in trouble, under treat-
ment, under pressure. — even it

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

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

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.
