STATES & CITIES: Girl Governor

Governor King of Louisiana went up to Richmond, Va., last week to a conference with other Governors. When Lieutenant Governor Paul N. Cyr jumped at the governorship last October and was caught politically off-base, Governor Long had Senate President Alvin Oliver King sworn in to take his place. When Huey Long went to the U. S. Senate, his friend Alvin King stepped into the Executive Mansion, leaving Louisiana with no Lieutenant Governor, no Senate President. Next person in line to substitute for Governor King was Alice Lee Grosjean. She is a good friend of Huey Long's, used to be his secretary before he made her Secretary of State in 1930. Miss Grosjean is 25, auburn-haired, pretty. When she took over the acting Governorship last week she moved into the Executive Mansion. Her mother moved in with her for company.
