Gepphert Says
Lind Probe
To Continue
A House committee to mves-
i'.cate widespread "profiteering
and promoting" in the admmi*-J
nation of the Texas Veters
Program has been pr.
toy Representative Dolph
Jr. of Uvalde.
H^^esentative Briscoe, who
aad pledged to seek such action
soon after first reports of al-
leged land program irregulari-
ty's broke into the open, asked
appointment of a special five-
member House Investigating
Committe. His move came in
the form of a resolution intro-
duced in the House this week.
The South Texas solon point-
ed to statistics showing $5,257,-
000 had been spent on blick
.and sales in Zavala and Dim-
mit Counties, two of the coun-
• es he represents. Most of these
transactions, he explained, are
..•robably sound ones. Some
other:-, "apparently violate both
he spirit and the purpose of the
irogram," Briscoe said.
“This scandal has placed the
.uture of the entire program in
copardy. I believe it is neces-
ary tiiat a special committee
a L i mine adequate safeguards
or the future operation of the
program." the South Texas
lawmaker said.
The legislator commented that
u> considered the $100 million
land program basically a good
and sound one. and he did not
consider anything wrong with
most of the transactions con-
ducted under t.

the veterans' land program said
no had registered these names

before any investigations were
begun.
"We, (Curtis Jackson and Lit-

ness purposes," Little said.
Gepphart said that if an audit
