CHICAGO, September 1.-The Dill
linger Course" fell upon seven more
persons today, two admittedly the
plastic surgeons who tried to rebuild
beyond recognition the faces and hands
of John Dillinger and his lieutenant,
Homer Van Meter
Chief of the group was announced
as Louis P. Piquett, a former city
prosecutor and counsel for the slain
Dillinger. He was locked up on $50,-
900 bond, accused of harboring the
outlaw and engaging the two doctors
to perform the operations.
The arrest of Piquett was termed
"one Of the most important in years"
by United States District attorney
Dwight H. Green.
The surgeons, DR.. Wilhelm Loeser
and DR.. Harold Bernard Cassidy,
pleaded guilty and were held in bonds
of SOS, 900 each. In addition, Arthur
w. OLeary, an employe of Piquett, en-
tered a guilty plea.
Mutters, "Tm Framed"
Piquett denied any guilt when the
seven persons seized last night were
arraigned before United States Com
missioner Edwin K Walker. He NUT
tered, I'm framed" when the physi-
clans and O'Leary pleaded guilty.
Rumors that the physicians and
OLeary had made full confessions
came a few hours after they appeared
in court.
Melvin H Purvis, chief of the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation, would
not confirm reports the three had
agreed to testify against Piquett
The attorney is charged with direct
ing the plot whereby the two gang
sters, since slain, sought by plastic
surgery to conceal their identities
Federal agents said he fed his Office

they were after him. He was cap

BANKING IN BOOM
RAPED IN REPORT
Senate ProberS Issue Final
Section of Analysis of Ex-
haustive Hearings.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
A severe and general condemnation
of banks. bankers and banking prac-
tices in the depression boom days
was unleashed last night by the Sen
ate Banking Committee in an ex-
haustive report on this phase of its
long investigation. of Wall Street.
Investment affiliates, speculation in
the stock of a bank by its officials with
emphasis upon short sales, exorbitant
salaries and bonuses, loans by bank
to its officers and unduly large ad-
vanceS to brokers for speculative trans
actions were denounced alike as un-
ethical procedure which fastened and
intensified the business troubles of
the last four years.
The report relates one after another
all the headline making incidents of
the investigation of commercial and
private banks, putting into matter-of-
fact language the startling testimony
upon which crowded committee rooms
hung breathlessly. Nothing was
omitted save J. P. Morgan's midget.
Last Of Report.
The analysis was the last section of
general report on the whole investi-
cation. All will now be pieced to-
gether in book form and published by
the Government Printing Office. Many
who followed the inquiry predict that
the resulting volume will become a
valuable source book for the economist
and historian.
1t was prepared by the investigating
staff which assisted Ferdinand Pecora,
now member of the Securities Ex-
change Commission, in conducting the
inquiry. Large portions of the report
on banking were understood to have
been written by John T. Flynn, a
prolific writer on economic subjects,
with other parts drafted by Max
Lowenthal and Julius Silver.
Most of the practices denounced are
now prohibited by laws enacted since
the investigation, notably the Glass
Steagall bill of 1888, which directed
that banks divorce their investment
aft1liateS, prohibited loans to officers
and speculation by them in shares of
their bank, and brought private bank

under Federal regulation.
Hits at AffiIiates.
Investment afnliates were corpora

for the purpose of dealing in stock and
bonds. practice prohibited by law
so far as the banks themselves were
concerned. OF them the report said,
under the heading "Circumvention of
the Law:
Admittedly, the investment afili-
ates were organized at the instance of
the banking institutions to enable the
banks to engage in business and op-
erationS that we're prohibited to such
banks" And again:
The creation of investment afili-
! ates by commercial banks was unde-
sirs.ble, not only because these affiliates
circumvented the law, but because

STAFF Correspondent of The Star.


HYDE PARK, N. Y, September
AFTER nearly a whole day of re-
fusal to discuss the reported resigna-
ton of Lewis Douglas as director of
the Bureau of the Budget, President
Roosevelt late today announced the
appointment of Daniel w. Bell, COM
missioner of accounts and deposits of
the Treasury Department, as acting
director in place of Mr.. Douglas.
The announcement, made in behalf
of the President by Secretary M. H.
Mcintyre, omitted any mention of
the Presidents acceptance of Douglas
resignation, and failed to include the
customary expressions of regret or to
pay any tribute to this departing
member of his official family for the
public service he had performed.
Text Of Announcement.
The announcement, confined to IL
typewriter lines, said:
"The President has appointed
Mr. Daniel w. Bell to serve as
acting Director of the Bureau of
the Budget in place of Mr.. Lewis
Douglas, resigned.
Mr.. Bell came to the Treasury
Department in 1911, when 20 years
old. He became deputy commits
sioner of accounts and deposits in
1924 and commissioner in 1881.
His temporary appointment as
acting Burget Director will be in
addition to his other duties.
Mr.. Douglas has also presented
the resignation of his assistant
Director of the Bureau of the
Budget, Mr.. F. w. Lowery."
AS Mr.. Roosevelt included Mr..
Douglas in the group of his close
friends and advisers in the early
part of his administration, and al
ways professed high regard for his
handling of the complex budget
problems, his failure to comment on
the resignation is looked upon as
significant.
There is reason to believe that
Mr.. Roosevelt, while conscious of the
fact that Mr.. Douglas was not whole
heartedly in sympathy with his New

A final, desperate Federal drive to
avert a general walkout in the giant
textile industry collapsed last night,
starting an exodus from the Nations

workers.
The Nationwide strike became ef-
fective at 1880 pm. last night.
The last thread of hope that the
strike sword could be held aloft be-
yond the l1:30 pm. zero hour was cut
when labor leaders, after listening to
hours of argument, pleading and
cajolery. emerged from the offices of
the National Labor Relations Board
with grim assertion:
''The strike will go on"
Involved are 10000 silk workers, di-
rected to join the others in an order
issued just before noon; 407 900 cot
ton textile workers and 100000 wooden
mill employees. Affected also were
100000 now unemployed in these in
dustries in 1000 communities.
Garrison Gives Up Hope.
Rebuffed, but doggedly persistent,
Lloyd Garrison, chairman of the Labor
Relations Board, had waged an
eleventh-hour battle to avert the walk
out. Much of the boards own prestige,
a possible blow to recovery, probable
violence, and certain suffering by tex
tile workers-all were at stake.
But Garrison hismelf, after the last
of yesterdays conferences, wearily told
newspaper men there was no hope of
weakening in the stand of either
side before the strike hour.
AS the day wore on threats of vio-
lence increased. Francis j. German,
militant strike general of the union
forces, called off a scheduled appear
ance today before mass meeting of
Southern workers in Charlotte, N. c.
His associates disclosed that fear
of possible attack by anti-unionists
prompted the Strike Committee to
order him to remain in Washington.
Union officials Active.
President Thomas r. Mcmahon of
the United Textile Workers, German
Eand other union officials shunted
back and forth during the day from
strike headquarters to the Offices of
the National Labor Board. No de-
tails of the discussion were divulged.
Asked whether any definite pro-
posals had been submitted, Garrison
said:
I'm all mediation negotiation it is
unfair to the parties to make any
statement regarding the discussion. T"
No further discussions were sched-
uled until today or later.

ROOSEVELT PUTS
P|NCHOT ON spot
Federal Relief Funds to Be
Cut Off Unless State
Pays Share.
BY THEODORE C. WALLEN.

Through Federal ultimatum to the
State of Pennsylvania, President
Roosevelt was credited yesterday by
Democratic leaders with having put
Gov. Clifford Pinchot politically 'on
the spot" six days before the Governor
must decide whether to enter the
Pennsylvania senatorial contest.
The ultimatum is letter from
Harry L. Hopkins, Federal emergency
relief administrator, notifying Gov.
Pinchot that WaShington's major con-
tribution for the relief of Pennsyl-
vania's 100000 unemployed and
needy will be discontinued today unless
the State acts decisively to shoulder its
share of the burden.
(Note-In Harrisburg, Pa, the
Associated Press reported Gov.
Pinchot, in a reply to Mr. Hopkins,
proposed to use part of the States
liquor store profits and motor
funds - totaling $4,000, 900 - for
relief purposes. but the plan was
rejected by Mr.. Hopkins)
Must Call legislature,
Since March the Federal Govern
ment has paid about 80 per cent of
the bill for supporting the destitute in
the second largest State of the Union.
Gov. Pinchot has been resisting pres
sure that he call the Legislature in
session to shoulder the States rea-
sonable share of the burden.
With the Federal contribution cut
on, after steady payments aggregat-
ing $54,000,000, it is believed that
the Governor has no alternative but
to summon the Legislature. Demo-
cratic State leaders point to the
obvious political hazard to the Gov
ernor in session of the Legislature.
Should the Legislature fail to ap-
propriate adequately for public relief,
the unemployed and their champions
would express their resentment In
votes against the Republican State
ticket. This is headed by Attorney
General William A. Schnader, Gov.
Pinchot's candidate. Should the
Legislature make the appropriation,
Democrats say, it would also have to
levy unpopular taxes to provide the
funds.
The forcing of Gov. Pinchot's hand
after nearly five months is attributed
by Democratic leaders to the influence
OF Postmaster General James A.
Farley, the Democratic national
chairman, and Joseph F. Guffey. the
Democratic senatorial candidate.
During these five months of un-
paralleled Federal indulgence, Gov,
P1nchot championed the New Deal in
race against Senator David A. Reed
for the Republican senatorial nomi-
nation. When he was defeated, he
indicated that he would run inde-
pendently. This is against the de-
sires of Mr.. Guffey, the Democratic
nominee, who feels that the Governo!,
would tend to split the New Deal
