Rogge Speeds Probe
in Louisiana After
Receiving Threats
Two Anonymous Letters
Warn Official to Leave
Or Be Killed
BACKGROUND—
For a week the Federal grand
I jury investigating affairs in
Louisiana under Assistant Attor
ney General O. John Rogge has
given its attention to an alleged
tampering with the jury hearing
the Abraham L. Shushan income
tax case in October, 1935. The
jury failed to convict the Huey
Long lieutenant.
By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 15.—Assist
ant. United States Attorney General
n Trthn Dnooo enmrVit tnrtotr cnaad
I preparations for the trial of Dr.
James Monroe Smith, former presi
dent of Louisiana State University,
and four others on charges of de
frauding the university.
Mr. Rogge said all-dav sessions of
the grand jury were planned through
the week to clear up some other
phases of the Louisiana inquiry be
fore the jury goes into a two-week
recess Friday to allow Government
attorneys time to prepare for the
trial, scheduled to start September 5.
"I want to get all the loose ends
cleaned up this week and then I
shall make a week end flying trip to
Washington and return Monday to
start preparation for the trial,” the
Federal prosecutor said.
Two Threatening Letters.
Yesterday Mr. Rogge was threat
ened in two anonymous letters, one
of which contained two revolver
cartridges, and advised to leave here
by Wednesday or be killed.
Mr. Rogge did not connect the
letters with yesterday’s indictments.
He turned them over to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation and said he
would remain here in charge of Fed
eral investigation of corruption as
| long as possible.
“I want to know who threatens
! the Department of Justice,” the
' prosecutor said.
One letter—containing the cart
' |
ridges—*aid a price of $18,000 had
been placed on Mr. Rogge’s life, and
gave him until Wednesday to leave
on pain of death. The other, signed
the “Bullet Gang,” warned him ‘‘to
lay off that Shushan Jury tampering
case.”
Workmen this morning—equipped
with screwdriver, spade and lathe—
began removal of Shushan's name
where it appears in more than 1,000
places on the newly named New
Orleans Airport, which Huey Long
named for Shushan in 1934. Shu
shan was then president of the
Orleans Levee Board, which built
the field.
Yesterday's indictments named
George Caldwell, former construction
superintendent at Louisiana State
University on two charges of using
the mails to defraud in an alleged
‘“kickback" scheme on university
contracts, and Eugene Barksdale,
Caldwell’s former assistant, for al
leged W. P. A. fraud.
Williams Orders Inquiry.
By the Associated Press.
National Youth Administrator
Athjrey Williams yesterday ordered
an Investigation of the handling of ‘
N. Y. A. student-aid funds at Louisi
ana State University. 1
He said there had been no evi- ]
dence of mishandling of N. Y. A.
funds, but that in view of the gen- 1
eral investigation of financial affairs
at the university he wished to satisfy
himself that the N. Y. A. student-aid
program was being satisfactorily ad
ministered.
The N. Y. A. program at Louisiana
State was handled by George Heidel
berg, who was found fatally shot at
his home last week, apparently hav
ing committed suicide. Heidelberg
was an employe of the university.
Argentine Navy Note
BUENOS AIRES W.—Rear Ad
miral Leon Scaso, minister of ma
rine, speaking of the Argentine
navy's immediate needs, said none
was more urgent than replacing its
two-line-of-battle ships, the Riva
davia and the Moreno.
