WASHINGTON Jan. 8, <UPi Storm clouds gathered today on the administration's congressional hori-
zon.
Ttie first clap of thunder indicative ot the squalls which the president’s legislative program may be called upon to weather came from Senator Huey P. Long. D„ La., In a two-hour senate speech. Too, there were rumblings from organized latior over the president’s $4 000,000,000 work relief program President William Green of the American Federation of Latior de manded provisions for a 30-hour week and payment of prevailing wage scales lie wiitten into legislation for tne program. Senate progressives in both parties appeared in sympathy with Ixmg's attack upon the administration for attempting to defeat Senator Bronson Cutting, R , N. M., who bolted his party to sup|>ort Mr. Roosevelt in 1932, but who later opposed several new deal proposals. As a result of the ill-feeling over the Cutting incident liberals in both parties cast a more critical eye upon new deal proposals. The extent to which this attitude is to be carried will he determined largely by the ad ministration's disposal of the threat to contest Cutting's election. The special elections investigating committee headed by Sen. James F. Byrnes, D., S. C., has concluded its work and prepared its report, so there will be no investigation of the New Mexico election from that quarter. Former Congressman Dennis Chavez, who ran against Cuttings, has i harged illegal ballots were east in the election. The senate was in recess today, waiting for its committees to turn outs ome work for it. When it meets again Thursday it will in all prob ability have before it the foreign relation committee's favorable report on the protocols for American adherence to the world court. Labor leaders were Joined by some congressmen in their criticism of the $4,090,000,000 work relief appropriation asked in the president's budget message. Sen. Edward I*. Costigan. D., Colo., and Cutting both expressed disappointment in the proposal. Costigan said he believed it should have been more. Chairman William P. Connery of the house latior committee said he would offer a 30 hour week bill for industry as an alternative to the president's program for giving 3,500,000 work relief jobs. Green said u 30-hour week under the president's program would "mean a splendid chance for seeing how such a work week would work. We can’t get those millions into industry quick enough without having inis program, but it should be quickly followed by the 30-hour week for Industry.” Republican criticism indicated

On Outlaw Gang
case of lawyer, alleged "BRAINS” OF DII.LINGER MOD OPENS IN COURT
CHICAGO, Jan 8. (UP)—First to he snared in a federal drive against the Fagins of the underworld, Louis p. Piquett was called to trial in federal court today on charges that he was the "swivel chair genius" of the John Dillinger gang. The bushy-haired lawyer, known as "Curly” Piquett in his bartending days, lias made belligerant denials of the government's chargus. —- "I’ve been framed," he said when he learned two plastic surgeons had confessed to performing facial operations on Dillinger and Homer Van Meter and were ready to testify that Piquett hired them. The government is determined to make the 50 year old former city prosecutor a "horrible example” for gangland lawyers. Assistant Attorney Gen'ral Joseph B. Keenan has come from Washington to assist Dis11 let Attorney Dwight H. Green in the prosecution. "Attorney General Cummings wan i . lerring to men like Piquett when he told the American Bar Association to clean house,” Green said "This arrest Is one of the most important in years." Those who came into Judge William H. Holly’s federal court today were wide-eyed in anticipation of the "rattling” of Dillinger’s skeleton hy government witnesses. Government attorneys intimated that the "real story" of the Hooslrr outlaw’s “toy pistol" Jail hrpag will be revealed. Mrs. Lillian Holley, sheriff of the Crown Point, Ind., jail when Dillihger made his escape, will be a witness against Piquett. It is iharged that Dillinger, tnrough Piquett, paid $1,800 for his liberty, a share going to a northern Indiana public official. Two other officers of the Jail at the time of the sensational break, Warden I^i-w Baker and Deputy Ernest Blunk, also will testify. Both were indicted on charges of collusion in the affair but the charges were dropped. The government’s principal witnesses. Dr Wilhelm Loeser, Dr. Bernard Cassidy, and Arthur O'Leary, were arrested Sept, 1 with Piquett, a month and a half after Dillinger was killed as he walked from a Chicago theater. Loeser, Cassidy and O’Leary, the latter an Investigator for Piquett, Pleaded guilty to the conspiracy and harboring charges on which the lawyer is standing trial. If convicted he faces two years imprisonment ami a $10,000 fine. Piquett, who studied law at night school while he worked ac a bartender, was a follower of William Hale 'Big Billi Thompson when the latter was mayor. Thompson named him city prosecutor in 1920. In 1918 and again in 1919 he was charged with graft and three years later he was indicted with 15 others in a school board scandal Involving coal contracts. All the charges were dropped. Piquett, admitting he saw Dillinger
(Continued Kroni I'axr Onri his head in denial. Wilentz, with a penchant for J matics, quickly turned the witnij over to the defense. The chief of defense counsel qunj ly launched a counter-attack on U aged man’s testimony. "Didn’t you stand with a trJ at the door yesterday and didn't! trooper point out Bruno KioJ Hauptmann?" he thundered at J witness. Hockensmi th’s whiskered rr snapped up. "No,” he answered shmjdy. The identification placing Haul niann at the scene of the crime a vital point in the prosecution ci and came as a surprise. Hauptmann, at his extortion hej! ing in New York City vigorously! nied that he had been in New Jers-J at any time approximate to the d of the crime. The witnesses wmi the state presented at that time I an effort to place him at the Sfej were partly discredited.
FLEM1NGTON, N. J., Jan 8, d'j —New Jersey today reached a i* cial point in its prosecution of BrJ Richard Hauptmann. It will attc::l to prove tnat the ladder used by I kidnaper and murderer of the Lil bergh baby is his handiwork Si cess will bring the taciturn Genii carpenter close to the elei trie clil Failure will weaken materially I .state's hopes of ohtaininj a coni

Attorney General David T. 1 entz promised to prove that pari the wood came from the ath<j Hauptmann's home in the Bnj The state also will seek to show ui pints came from a Bronx lani yard where Hauptmann once 1 employed, that tools found in Hal mann's tool chest were used Ini construction, that its nails pr* 11 !

Should the slate establish Haj mann as the ladder’s maker, it wl be the strongest evidence yd J talned against him, stronger Col.
