...TIME, February 13, in which reference is made to President R. S. Hecht of Hibernia Bank & Trust Company, I cannot refrain from lodging my protest regarding at least one unfair reflection. . . . That John J. Gannon, whom he (Mr. Hecht) displaced, spent the brief balance of his life cursing Rudolf Hecht in all public places as a double crosser.

...Rudolf Hecht's side last week rallied Huey Long and his puppet Governor Oscar Kelly Allen. It was Huey Long, in New Orleans to fight a Senate investigation of his political steamroller, who ordered a public holiday on Saturday to give the Hibernia a 48-hour breathing spell over the weekend. But no one at the Friday night conference could recall any historic event that occurred on Feb. 4. Routed from his bed, the city librarian ploughed through volumes of histories.
