Graft Worst,
Rogge Thinks

Dallas, Texas, Aug. 18.-(AP)-
Assistant U. S. Attorney General
o. J. Rogge charged today in Fed
aral court that former Governor
Leche, Of Louisiana, and Seymour
Weiss, Louisiana political figure,
aad accepted graft in one of the
most venal single transactions l ever
came across"
The federal prosecutor appeared
1T a hearing for the removal to
Louisiana of Freeman BurfOrd, Dali
las independent oil operator,
charged jointly with Leche and
Weiss with violation of the Con-
lally shot oil'' act.
Rogge described the alleged pay
ment of $148,OO0 by Burford in
connection with the piping of oil
rom the rich Rodessa field in
Louisiana into Texas.
''The central fact in this case is
that the East Texas Refining Com
pany did pay $148,0OO to Weiss"
said Rogge. "Of that, Leche and
Weiss each took $67, 900. Weiss was
high in Louisiana political circles"
''The two held high official posi-
tons. Leche was governor-elect.
They got together and divided
S134,O00 and the governor-elect
took SO 81, 1000 billsf rom Weiss. Call
t anything you like, commission or
anything else, but it was pay
nent of graft. The two most repre-
lensible persons were Leche and
Weiss"

Nineteen-year-od Helen Vooros told
the Dies committee today that there

American Bund camp on Long Is
land, N. Y, and that she quit the
bund because "the leaders wouldn't

"They planned to attack me-" the

"The immortality of the entire
movement appalls you so-?" Repre-
sentative Starnes, Democrat, Ala
bama, put in, starting a question.
'It disgusted me-" she said, cutting
Starnes off.
Miss Vooros made these assertions
in telling about Camp Siegfried on
Long Island. She said the boys and
girls in sections of the camp were
only 80 feet apart.
"And that caused quite a bit o1
trouble" she added. "Parents COM
planned they were too close and that
the boys and girls were seen to-
gether."
Earlier she said bund leaders at

with the idea that Nazi principles
