ana arrived in Washington thi.
morning to see President Roosevelt,
and to enlist advice from Attorney
General Jackson at the Justice De.
partment on how to continue the
Louisiana graft cleanup, which the
department began.
I'VE haven't scratched the sur
face of corruption" Mr.. Jones said
during press conference at the
Mayhower.
I'VE got some big shots, but there
are lot of grafters left. We ex-
pect that the State will still be work
ing on this problem when my term
OF office is up, four years from now
Only yesterday, I asked the Legis-
lature to appropriate $1,000 900 to
finance the cleanup
Is Convictions, 4 Suicides.
The score in the anti-graft drive
so far, he recalled. is IS convictions
and four suicides. Saturday, Mr.
Jones predecessor. Richard Leche

called that both these men fought
tooth and nail to keep the old ad-
ministration in power"
Senators "Not Entitled" to Sit.
The action of the two Senators
in taking bitter stand against re-
form in Louisiana does not entitle
them to return to the United States
Senate" Mr.. Jones said.

ator Ellender would be among these
missing in the delegation to the
Democratic convention in Chicago
