Charge Favors Shown Estes

WASHINGTON (UPI) — A Republican senator said today that Agriculture Department o fficials cancelled Billie Sol Estes* cotton allotments and then restored them after a New Year’s Day meeting with Estes and two unidentified lawmakers. “This was more than favoritism,” Sen. Karl E. Mundt, RS.D., charged. “This was complete capitulation to a guy out on the make.*' Mundt is a member of the Senate investigations subcommittee which ordered a full investigation of the case Thursday shortly before President Kennedy told his news conference that government Investigators were “staying right on Mr. Estes’ tail." Kennedy said 76 FBI agents had been assigned to the case and promised that “if membes of the executive branch are tn volved” they would be “immediately disciplined appropriately."

I Fear Ewe J»ba Two Agriculture Department officials have been fired, a third quit and a Labor Department official resigned because of the Estes affair. Kennedy said he had not been able to find any favoritism toward the indicated Texas farm magnate “as of now" but said new facts might come out. Estes has been indicted by a federal court in Texas on charges of fraud concerning his dealings with the government grain stoage program and fined more than $500,000 for misusing cotton allotments. He was once a member of the government’s cotton advisory board. Mundt said that a briefing given to subcommittee members Thursday showed the case was “substantially worse than any of us reamed.*’

Describes Scheme He told newsmen of a complex lease-sale arrangement under which Estes, in effect, allegedly took over allowed cotton acreage of farmers whose land had been taken away by seizures under the doctrine Os eminent domain. In July, 1961, he said, Agiculture Department officials got suspicious and interviewed 51 of 116 farmers who had bought co tton land from Estes, then leased it back to him with purchase rights. Mundt said only five of them regarded it as a “bona fide sale," 18 said they felt it was an improper tr ansfer of cotton allotments qnd others showed varying understanding of the arrangement. On Dec. 15, 1961, Mundt said. Agriculture Department General Counsel John C. Bagwell ecommended that Estes* cotton allotments be cancelled “and they were cancalled.” But on Jan. 1, IK2, he said, Bagwell was called to the office of Under Secretary C harles S. Murphy. After a me eting there which Estes, his attorney, a sehator and a congressman attended, Mundt said the cancellation order was “rescinded pending further study.” Withholds Names Mundt refused to name the law-

Outbreak Os Food Poisoning At End WASHINGTON (UPD - A mysterious outbreak of food poisoning makers in volved in the conference. He said the subcommittee has not yet learned who actually ordered suspension of the cancellation order. Several times Thursday, Kennedy referred to former President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s re» marks that the “Democrats didn’t seem to be pressing the inquiry as hard as they did similar investigations when he was in the White House. Kennedy recalled that Estes obtained his first grain storage contract under the Eisenhower administration and said it was the Democratic administration which indicted him. Kennedy said the government has more than two million employes, and outsiders seefc to influence their decisions. He noted that large sums of money are involved in rulings by relatively low-paid officials. "Some succumb—most do not,” he said.

which caused serious illnesses in 18 states has apparently “about run its couru,” a U.S. Public Health Service spokesman s aid today. The food poisoning was caused by a rare type of bacteria known as salmonella hartford. Prior to this year, no more than 20 cases of food poisoning by this particular germ had been identified in the whole history of the United States. Since early this year, however, there have been 95 - laboratoryconfirmed cases of salmonella hartford poisoning, and 42 suspected eases which were not definitely confir med by 1 abpratorv tests. The epidemic seems to have i reached a peak in late March, the | public health spokesman said. The j last confirmed case was reported, in April. Cases were reported in 18 states —Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, lowa, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Missouri, Maryland and Delaware. The heaviest incidence was in the upper Middle West. Canada also had an outbreak of salmonella hartford poisoning at

the same time. Intensive investigations oy Public Health Service epidemic detectives have so far yielded no clue as to why the rare ailment suddenly broke forth over a wide area. There were no fatalities, but many of the victims became quite

seriously ill with fevers ranging up to 103 degrees and severe diarrhea. Some had to be hospitalized and fed intravenously for periods as long as three weeks. The majority of the victims were children between the ages ofZ and 10.
