 Mir. Mornngstar inelosed a letter received from Governor Parker, in which the Louisiana executive stated:
 Tt will be necessary to use all the influence at your command to get the United States government to take an interest in this matter. and for that reason. I would appre- eiate you writing me at length your opinion of this man as a soldier and put 1t in such shape that l can send it to Washington with the certainty that it will bring results. If these results do not come quickly, could I impose upon you by asking you to get in touch with your congressmen , and senators, requesting that they take the matter up with the depart { ment of justice to see that not only Is the matter probed to the bottom but that the murderers are brought to the bar of justice. every possible effort at my command is and will be used to that end.'
 Governor Parker immediately after his return from Washington to Lou isiana announced that he had dedi- cated himself to the task of tearing the mask off the klan.

PARKER DETERMINED TO PUNISH GUILTY MEN
 RS SAssnciated prnss


 NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 6.-That knowledge three months ago of the horrifying manner in which two Louisiana citizens had been put to death by their fellow men prevented Governor Parker resting until he had at least used all the states power to ferret out the guilty. was believed here tonight as the principal cause for the months of tireless effort on the part of the states chief ex- ecutiye.
 While it was the general opinion until several weeks ago that Daniel and Richards had fled from Morehouse after being severely flogged, Gov ernor Parker insisted the '~bodies of the men were wallowing at the bottom of Lake LaFourche after the men had been tortured to death.
 Certain terrorizing outrages have been committed; horrifying crimes have been reported" the Governor was quoted as saying during visit to Washington six weeks ago when he sought federal intervention in handling masked band activities in the state.
 Called Ont Troops
 It was this belief that the mutt lated bodies of the two men were held down by weights at the bottom of the lake that prompted the gov ernor in calling out national guard troops in exploring the bottoms.
 The governors visit to Washing ton, preceded by a newspaper ar tiele given wide publication that the "klan had reduced the sovereign state of Louisiana to the vassalage of the invisible empire" which was inn medlately -.denied by the governor, drew sharp criticism on the floor of the national Congress.
 The seurrilous story which seri- ously reflects on the state of Louisi- ana Is false." Representative Asweli of Louisiana said. Tt is entirely proper for the attorney general or Louisiana to come here and to seek the aid of the department of Justice in law enforcement, but it is another question for the governor of Louisi- ana to inflict irreparable injury on the state.
 Charges State Done Injustice
 "To the regret of our people. the governor of Louisiana, with his in satiable thirst for publicity is re- sronsible for the great Injury done our state.' MT. Aswell said he knew nothing of the Ku Klux Klan except from reading Governor Parker's "bluster" in his campaign against the klan. But I resent the attempt of the governor to subject the sovereign power of my state to federal author ity and his efforts to play cheap politics for front page notoriety."
 Senator Ransdell and Representa- tives Wilson and Sandlin of Louisi- ana. denied that the Louisiana gov ernment had broken down and re- sented the 'unwarranted assaults on the people of Louisiana
 The Mer Rouge incident was re- ferred to in letters read into the record by Senator Walsh of Massa- chusetts, ets.
