Hu t nited Press NEW YORK, May 12.—Organized crime activity, kept intact by stern unmistakable codes of honor, has worked itself into the heart of organized government to such an extent that a federal statute is needed to curb its activities.

REOPEN BITTER WAR TO UNSEAT LOUISIANA CHIEF Governor Huey P. Long Is Faced With Hardest Fight of Career. BY BARRY J. HOLLOWAY I'nited Tress Staff Correspondent BATON ROUGE, La.. May 12. Governor Huey P. Long faced the bitterest battle of his stormy political career today as the state legislature convened and anti-adminis-tration forces began their attempt t' have him impeached. Long's opponents based their attack on the charge that tv, e federal government is holding up more than $2,000,000 in road appropriations because state highways constructed under Long's administration are not up to standard. They also are expected to bring up previous charges, which include intimidation of Charles P. Manship, Baton Rouge publisher; missappropriation of state funds; attempted conspiracy to murder State Representative J. Y. Sanders Jr., and conduct unbecoming a high official. Escaped Trial Last Year It was the second time Louisiana’s 36-year-old executive was confronted with possible removal from office. Long escaped trial on nineteen charges last year at a special session when fifteen members of the senate announced they would not vote for conviction. The first step in the impeachment campaign centered today in an effort to remove J. B. Fournet as Speaker of the House. Long’s enemies charged that Fournet violated rules of procedure last year in attempting to adjourn the house before a vote to hear impeachment charges could be taken. Long, who rarely leaves his hotel room without armed body guards, recently toured the state, denouncing his enemies in picturesque fashion. Starts Own Publication Appearing in rural sections, he donned old trousers and a work shirt. In the cities he was an example of sartorial elegance. After he had lost the support of every daily newspaper in Louisiana, he started his own weekly publication, the Louisiana Progress.

Westinghouse Official to Start Experiment to Aid Agriculture. Hu I'nited Press NEW YORK, May. 12.—Proof of the theory that the solution of the farm problem lies in efficient operation rather than politics will be undertaken by the Westinghouse Electric Company on an experimental farm near Pittsburgh, it was announced today. “Today, in an electrified America,” W. S. Rugg, vice-president in charge of engineering of the Westinghouse Electric Company, said, “the farmer can not hold his own by the sweat of human labor. Farming, one of the biggest American industries, is almost the only one that makes little use of electricity, and is the one which has suffered the most severe depression. “Though making electricity generally available on the farm presents difficulties, I believe that Westinghouse can help solve these as it helped solve the problems of electric service for city lighting, for power, for transmission and for the railroads. The Westinghouse Company has completed arrangements for the complete electrification of a farm at Jeanette, Pa., where electrici*” ! will milk cows, cool milk; clean, l *“ and cap bottles; perform household tasks, grind feed, fill silos, hoist hay, heat water, hatch chicks, kill flies, mix concrete, test seed corn, saw wood and grind meat.
