WASHINGTON (AP) - Gulf
Oil Corp. apparently made se-
cret cash payments to members
of the Texas Railroad Com-
mission beginning in the early
1960s, according to a report filed
with the Securities and
Exchange Commission
The railroad commission
regulates oil production in
Texas.
Gulf money also apparently
went to former Texas Gov. Pre-
ston Smith, to various Harris
County (Houston) candidates
for the Texas legislature and to
candidates for the Texas Su-
preme Court, according to the
report.
The report was compiled by a
special three-man panel, head-
ed by senior American states-
man John J. McCloy, which
Gulf’s board of directors set up
to investigate the company's il-
legal political gifts in the United
States and overseas.
The report contains frag-
mentary and sometimes sec-
ond-hand information. Names
of recipients are frequently
omitted, and the panel said it
was not possible to say for cer-
tain what happened to all of the
$12 million in Gulf money that
apparently was diverted to po-
litical use between 1960 and
1973
A new youth fair queen will be
crawned shortly before the 7
p.m auction begins Saturday.
President of the fair
association to Bill Stewart Mel
Cheairs is vice president and
Dr Doyle Cooper is secretary-
treasurer.
Plans for a special
bicentennial for the popular
1960s Brownwood Bulletin
feature "As We Were" were
announced today by the
newspaper. Seepage 1.
