(UPI) Agricultural tycoon Billie Sol Estes, free in SIOO,OOO bond on federal fraud charges, brought a stream of bankers, lawyers and businessmen into his 52-foot living room today to discuss the charges and lawsuits threatening his empire. _ A federal grand jury in El Paso prepared for an intensive investigation of the financial operations of the grain and fertilizer operator as federal and defense attorneys sifted through a “truckload’* of records in the 40-busi-ness Estes enterprises. Freed Monday after four days in jail, Estes left El Paso immediately by plane for his mansion in Pecos and sat up most of the night with attorneys and advisers. He scheduled more m eet in g s throughout the day, pledging that his creditors “would not lose a dime.” He admitted debts of $32 million. Lawsuits of approxiately $8 million have been filed against him with the prospects of more to come. U.S. District Judge R. Ewing Thomason reduced Estes’ bond from $500,000 to SIOO,OOO after an all-day hearing Monday in El Paso. The prosecutor introduced testimony that the Bible-quoting lay minister had indicated he might “take all I can get and leave” for Brazil. Estes denied that he had any intention of leaving Texas. He said he would never leave his wife and five children. The SIOO,OOO bond was quickly posted by Estes’ father, John Estes; his uncle. Dr. Sol Estes, and his brother, Dr. John Estes Jr. Estes, once selected as one of the 10 outstanding young men in the nation by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, resigned Monday as a member of the National Cotton Advisory Committee to “avoid embarrassment” to the Democratic Party and the Kennedy administration. EstcS also is one of the largest grain warehouse operators in the nation. It was disclosed in Washington that the government paid him $5.1 million la st year for storage. Two of three business associates charges with Estes in effect pleaded the Fifth Amendment in connection with the grand jury investigation. Harold E. Orr, president of Superior Manufacturing Co. of Ama»rillo, Tex., and Ruel Alexander, secretary-treasurer, brought company records to El Paso under subpoena. The company manufactures anhydrous ammonia (fertilizer) tanks. Estes is charged with interstate transportation of fraudulent chattel (personal property) mortgages dealing with such tanks.

The deaths in Hendricks County increased Indiana’s 1962 traffic toll to at least 225, compared with 202 a year ago. State'Police identified the dead as Mrs. Suzie Clements, 47, and John R. Plunkett, 37, both of Ladoga. The injured included three of Mrs. Clements’ children, Vitus, 6; Linda, 14, and Wilma. 16, and Harvey W. Keck, 25, Roachdale, the driver. All were taken to Culver Hospital at Crawfordsville. Authorities said the accident happened when the car went off the road about three miles north of North Salem and hit a tree. Two other names were added to the state’s traffic fatality toll Monday. Frank Black, 26, Hamilton, died in Angola hospital late Monday night after his car collided with a truck loaded with potatoes in U.S. 27 about five miles north of Angola. Police said Black’s car crossed the center line into the path of a truck driven by Charles Smith, Fort Wayne. Smith was not hurt. Mrs. Estie Tague. 57, Lebanon, was killed Monday-afternoon when her car hit a Baltimore & Ohio Railroad freight train at a crossing in Speedway. Mrs. Tague was helping her daughter, Mrs. Leia Quillen, move household goods to a trailer which Mrs. Quillen and husband were loading preparatory to moving to Florida. Mrs. Quillen was driving one car ahead of another driven by her mother. She said she cleared the crossing, looked back, saw her mother approaching; looked- again and the car was gone.

Good Hitting Infield Bright Spot For A's (EDITORS NOTE: This is another in a series of dispatches on the 1962 prospects of the major league baseball clubs). By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (UPI) — About all the Kansas City Athletics have to recommend I them is a good hitting infield and • fighting manager in Hank Bauer, the ex-Marine and former Yankee outfield star. It doesn't appear to be enough to strike terror into the ranks of the other American League teams. “We hope to win more games' than we did last year,” is all Bauer will say. Even that might! take some doing with the material he has on hand. Last year the A’s won only 61 games while losing 100, finishing in a tie with the Washington Sen-, ators for ninth and tenth places, 47ft games behind the Yankees. -•» the only way the A’s can go is up. They had the heaviest hitting infield in the league last season i once Wayne Causey was estab-1 lished as the regular third baseman. Causey hit .276, first baseman Norm Siebern, 296, second baseman Jerry Lumpe .293 and rookie shortstop Dick Howser, .280. Siebern was the big siege l gun of the group with 18 home I runs and 98 runs batted in. It' isn’t, however, the best fielding inner quartet in the league. Clubs Seek Siebern, Lampe “Whenever we discuss trades the other clubs want Siebern and ’ Lumpe, explains Bauer, sadly, I “and we just can’t afford to let' them go for the second line players the other clubs offer us in return.” But don’t bet that one or both will not be traded if the A’s get off to a floundering start. Should one of those infielders get hurt, Bauer would be up against it for there are only two rookies to back them up — Ed Charles who hit .305 at Vancouver and Charlie Shoemaker, who batted .271 at Portsmouth. Last season the weakest department of the club was its outfield. It cost a lot of games defensively. Sb only two erf last year’s group are back — Leo Posada, who hit only .253 and Bobby Del Greco, whocan go get ’em but batted only .230. The big hope for outfield improveent is rookie Manny Jim-

mm*, up from Vancouver where he hit .325 with 17 home runs and 17 RBl’s. He is only 23 and Bauer insists he can’t miss, if not this year, then next He was obtained from Milwaukee in a deal for pitcher Bob Shaw. Gino Cimoli, who hit only .234 with the Pirates and Braves last season, may win a starting outfield berth. Gene Stephens, the former Red Sox and Orioles outfielder, is another possibility but he has had a bad leg and it still bothers him from time to time. Outfield Utility Role A rookie, Jose Tartabull, who' hit .295 at Vancouver, may win an outfield utility role. The veteran Haywood Sullivan, who hit only .242 last season, may I lose the No. 1 catching job to &OE Azcue, another rookie up from lose the No. 1 catching job to Joe Azcue, another rookie u p from Vancouver. Azcue hit .297 at Vancouver, but had only two home runs and 43 RBl’s. Sullivan hit only six homers with 40 RBl’s. Azcue, 22, is another youngster 1 tabbed as a sure-fire star forthe> future. If the club were not so I desperate for catching he prob-, ably would be sent out for another year of minor league seasoning. Unless a deal is made for a catcher, however, the A’s have no; Recourse except to keep him. Like all other departments of the A’s except that infield, pitching also is a big question mark. They have some fair prospects, but only one of them, Dave Wick-, , ersham, seems ready. I Wickersham, a 26-year-old. 6-foot-3 right hander, won 14 games and lot 11 at Shreveport last season and then won two and lost one with the A’s after being called up. Strictly Relief Pitcher I Wickersham is strictly a relief ' pitcher and Bauer is counting on him to head up his bullpen. The starters will be Jim Arch-, er (9-15), who has been sought by many clubs despite that record; 1 Norm Bass (11-11), Jerry Walker I (S-14), Art Ditmar (2-3) with the, I Yankees and 0-5 with the A’s) and perhaps Lew Krausse, the high price bonus southpaw, who won two while losing five last season. There were reports that the 18-year-old Krausse would be sent to the minors for experience but when he asked Bauer about it, the A’s manager told him he would have to pitch himself off the club. “You are going to get every possible chance,” Bauer assured the youngster. Ed Rakow (2-8) also may win a starting assignment while Bull Kunkel (2-5) will be in the bull- • pen. A rookie possibility is Aurelio Monteagudo, who won 11 and lost , 4 at Albuquerque. I It isn’t an imposing pitching array, but nothing about the A’s is ■ imposing except that infield and ■ their manager.

Mrs. Paret collapsed on learning of her husband’s death and was unconscious for about 15 minutes, Manuel Alfaro, Paret’s manager told reporters. Alfaro was with the boxer when he died.
