WASHINGTON—(NEA)—The strong likelihood is that Billie
Sol Estes never will be called to testify before Senate and
House committees probing his tangled dealings in cotton allot-
ments, grain storage and fertiliser tanks.
This prospect is affirmed by sources on Capitol Hill in the
face of recent reassurances by Chairman John McClellan of the
Senate Investigating Committee that Estes still would be called,
as originally promised.
The reasons his appearance here is’considered improbable:
1. With one state conviction on a swindling charge al-
ready hanging over him and nearly three dozen other fed-
eral and state counts pending, Billie Sol’s Involvement in
court action is expected to go on for many months.
2. He answered no questions for Senate investigators
when they tapped him in Texas. His lawyers have hinted
that this performance would be repeated if he were sum-
moned to Washington.
From June 27 to Sept. 14, the McClellan committee exhaus-
tively canvassed Estes’ alleged illegal cotton allotment trans-
actions and related charges that some Agriculture Department
officials assisted in these maneuvers in return for favors from
Though Senate probers also dipped into Estes’ grain storage
activities. House hearings before the Fountain committee this
spring centered on this field. Hence Senate action is not ex-
pected, and the McClellan hearings, for all practical purposes,
are ended.
NOT UNTIL AFTER CONGRESS reconvenes in January will
the Senate group’s report be ready for issuance. The six mem-
bers of the subcommittee—four Democrats and two Republi-
cans—must get a crack at the draft report now being drawn.
Whatever the divergences of view that creep into print,
knowledgeable sources suggest that none of the reports
is likely to charge interference on Estes’ behalf by politi-
cal figures outside the Agriculture department.
If this preliminary appraisal proves correct, it will be of in-
terest to Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson and Texas, Sen.
Ralph Yarborough, among others. Yarborough acknowledged
receipt of a campaign contribution from Estes. Repeated efforts
were made to link Johnson io the case.
MAIN STRESS IN THE committee report probably will fall
on assertions of incompetence, mismanagement and misjudg-
ment on the part of a wide range of Agriculture Department
officials—from field operatives to individuals high up the lad-
der in Washington. ...... , ...
A few blows may fall on Secretary of Agriculture Orville
Freeman. More seem likely to rain on Undersecretary
Charles S. Murphy, though evidently he ma.de some dent
on the committee with his testimony that he was so busy
with other department affairs he did not'have time to
gauge the Estes case fully.
One net effect of the Senate inquiry, it is suggested, will be
to make a chief culprit out of what investigators call “the
monster”—the huge Agriculture Department itself, with its
sprawling disorganization, often contradictory regulations, un-
reliable internal communications.

Runs At Standstill
The “run rate” at Gatesville
State School for Boys has been
reduced to zero since September
4, when the new $2,000,00 Moun-
tain View School fr serious of-
fenders was opened.
School was dedicated last Sat-
urday in a public ceremone fea-
turing an address by Gov. Price
Daniel.
Weldon Brewer of the Texas
' Youth Council said the “run
rate” has been cut down gradu-
ally over the past five years.
In 1958 - 59, when the average
monthly population at Gatesville
was 1,115 boys, there was a mon-
thly average of 51 escapes. In
1959 - 60, with 1,197 boys, there
were 44 escapes a month. In 19-
60-61, with 1, 364 boys, there
were 31 escapes. In 1961 - 62,
there were 1.502 boys with only
24 escapes.
Since the 200 - plus inmates
most likely to run were moved
into the double - fenced Moun-
tain* View campus, there have
been no escapes.
"A walled home mya seem
cruel to some people,” Brewer
remarked. "But it’s a very hum-
ane arrangement when you rea-
lize that the boy# within are able
to take part in a training pro-
gram and group recreation."
, Before the new school was
opened, the boys who broke out
had to be confined to a small
room.
Guards on Gatesville’s 40 acres
do not carry guns.

ed December 9 as 1 “Safety Sun-
