ALEXANDRIA, La, May 27— Richard W. Leche, last Governor elected by the Huey P. Long political machine, was summoned for trial in Federal Court today on charges of using the mails to defraud. With two others, the former Gov- ernor is charged with illegally using the mails in a deal under which the Louisiana Highway Commission pur- chased trucks at 10" per cent more than the current retail price. The indictment against the 42- year-old Leche, L. P, Abernathy and George Younger, Alexandria truck dealer, charged that the three prof- ited by $113,370 and that Leche THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, allegedly received $31,000 from the|. ‘deal. . Only a year ago Leche was the principal figure in the regime built during the last decade by the late Senator Long. Elected hy Huge Majority. Following the slaying of Senator Long in September, 1935, Leche was drafted by administration forces. Elected by a vast majority, he had as his Lieutenant Governor Earl K. Long, brother of Huey. For three years the Leche admin- istration ruled the State along the lines laid down by Huey. A docile Legislature offered no opposition. Last July 26 Leche resigned fol- lowing the flight to Canada of Dr. James Monroe Smith, president of Louisiana State University, amid rumors of fraudulent manipulation of university funds. Earl Long succeeded Leche as Governor. Conditions Probed by U. S. ‘The Department of Justice, under the direction of O. John Rogge, later began an investigation and various indictments charging defalcations, fraud and embezlements were re- turned against a number of Huey Long adherents by both State and Federal grand juries. Dr. Smith was returned from Canada and is now serving an 8- to-24-year sentence in the State DPenitentiary. Several pleaded guilty and are in prison while others died by their own hand rather than face trial. Charges are pending against scores. Earl Long strove to hold together his brother’s disintegrating machine, but on February 20, 1940, a com- paratively unknown lawyer, Sam Houston Jones, rode to victory in the Democratic primary on a “re- form” platform. U. S. Mission Advises Ecuador on Defense By the Associated Press. Co-operation between the United States and Ecuador on measures to safeguard the Panama Canal was indicated yesterday by disclosure that military naval officers of the .two cougtries had just ton- cluded a series of conferences. State Department officials said an Army officer and a naval officer had been sent to Ecuador at the request of that government. The confer- ences were described as “a part of the general Western Hemisphere defense picture.” Dispatches from Guayaquil re- ported the officers had submitted a memorandum on methods of uni- fying Ecuadorean land, sea and air forces, which was said to involve reinforcing both the South Ameri- can country and the outlying Gala- pagos Islands with planes, pilots, instructors and fast naval craft. The islands are situated in the Pacific, less than 1,000 miles from the Canal, and proposals are pénd- ing in Congress now for their ac- quisition by the United States. Officials noted that although Jegal authorization exists for advising governments of other American na- tions, there is no act to permit the transfer of United States aircraft, ships or weapons to other countries unless they have been declared to be surplus.

CHICAGO, May 27.—Chicago’s eight-day-old milk strike—the sec- ond this month—was ended last night -and delivery to homes was resumed today as tank trucks brought in thousands of gallons of | milk to replenish a depleted supply. The ending of the strike, which cut off an estimated 75 per cent of the milk supply to consumers in the city and suburbs, followed a series of negotiations between city, State and Federal officials with the union leaders and dairy dealers. The strike, which cost farmers and strikers thousands of dollars, was marked by daily outbreaks of vio- lence. Trucks were dumped, driv- ers beaten and milk store windows broken. 6,000 Return to Work. More than 6,000 workers—mem- bers of the Milk Wagon Drivers’ Union and the Inside Dairy Workers’ Union—went back to work under terms of the agreement with the| They voted to return to| dealers. work at the prestrike basic wage, pending negotiations for a new con- tract, until June 10. | Both strikes—the first from May | 1-3 ended in a truce—resulted from disputes over a contract which ex- pired on April 30. The dealers re- fused the old base scale of $48 a week to the drivers and offered $30, plus commissions. The new scale for inside workers was from $8 to $14 a week less than provided under the old scale of from $35 for clerks to $54 for foremen. ‘Wages Chief Issue. The wage scale was the prin- cipal issue in dispute. Yesterday’s agreement provides that should negotiations between the unions and dealers fail by June 10, disputed voints are to be referred to Mayor | Edward J. Kelly and State’s Attor- ney Thomas J. Courtney. { If all negotiations are futile, how- ever, an arbitration board of two dealers and two union members is| to be set up.
