Dillinger fugitive case linked to lawyer concealment
Testimony at the Dillinger case alleges that about $13,000 from Midwest banks was spent on expenses and that Louis Quett received $6,000 for services to Dillinger. Arthur Leary said a $7,000 court fee and other funds were turned over, while the court ruled a lawyer cannot be forced to surrender a client during enforcement actions. Federal Judge Willy filed yesterday as the case concerns conspiracy to harbor and prolong Dillinger’s escape during a massive manhunt.

Four Million Trees Planned for Shelter Belt Project
Washington announces next spring four million trees will be planted in a vast shelter belt spanning from Canada to the Texas panhandle. The American Tree Association outlined 23 of 30 areas, each aiming for 139,000 trees in five mile by ten rod strips across the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, with 100 million seedlings prepared for 1936 by the forest service. Endorsed by President Roosevelt and funded with 1 million dollars in 1934, the project aims to windbreak cultivated land and provide work. Paul H. Roberts notes plans prioritize favorable locations and experimental aims, with soil prep, fencing, and planting by workers from nearby farms and towns.
