Violations By Estes
By W. B. RAGSDALE JR.
WASHINGTON (AP)—Sen. Kari
E. Mundt, R-S. D., strove Friday
to establish that Billie Sol Estes
was guilty of crime in his cotton-
allotment dealings and the Agri

culture Department condoned the
Texan’s action.
Under sharp cross-examination
by the South Dakota Republican.
Secretary of Agriculture Orville
E Freeman refused to acknowl-
edge that this was true. He ar-
gued that a finding of civil wrong-
doing-even if sustained in court
—does not constitute s crime.
Freeman’s position won the sup-
port of the Democratic members
of the Senate Investigations sub-
committee which is inquiring into
Estes’ tangled affairs in an ef-
fort to see if the promoter en-
joyed improper favors in his ex-
tensive dealings with the Agricul-
ture Department.
Mundt challenged Freeman’s
claim that he has taken adequate
steps to prevent future operations
of the kind which led the depart-
ment to levy a $554,000 penalty
against Estes for improperly ac-
quiring cotton-planting allotments
for more than 3,000 acres of land
Mundt, senior Republican on the
subcommittee, said he could not
understood what he called the re-
luctance of the department to plug
a loophole
Sen Cari Curtis, R-N*b. took
up the attack in late afternoon
and soon had Freeman snapping
angry answers.
After asking Freeman for a
series of dates involving the Estes
case, Curtis said, “You didn’t re-
move anyone from the payroll,
you didn’t stop doing grain busi-
ness with Estes, you didn’t take
any action to stop the cotton al-
lotments, you didn’t take anl ac-
tion against Estes until after he
was indicted. Is that correct?”
"That is not correct,” replied
Freeman. “After I gave you the
dates you proceeded to try to put
words in my mouth and I’m not
going to sit still for it.”
you had prejudged, and I had bet-
ter be prepared to answer any
question," he said.
"How about poor Curtis?”
Mundt demanded. “He didn't say
it.”
Freeman said he figured that
they sat together and probably
would think alike, too.
"Is this guilt by association?”
Curtis asked
If Freeman gave an answer at
all, it was drowned out by the re-
sulting laughter
Mundt charged a week ago that
the letter check was an effort to
"get something" on him and Cur-
tis as the lone Republican mem-
bers of the subcommittee, in an
effort to thwart the investigation.
Mundt and Freeman agreed on
on thing—it's costing the taxpay-
ers about $100,000 a month just to
keep the FBI and Senate investi-
gators on the case.

Harrel W. McKinzie of Snyder,
who has been active in Repub-

will be honored at a coffee at
the Starlite Restaurant at 8:30

hosting the affair.

serving the term for which he was
supposed to surrender Thursday
in New York.
It was learned authoritatively
the government is not willing to
grant the 62-year-old Jewish psy-
chiatrist a visa that would permit
him to stay in Israel, whether as
a short-term visitor or as a settler
under the 1950 Law of Return.
The legal right of every Jew to
settle in Israel is a fundamental
principle of this nation, but the
government retains—and uses—
the right to expel undesirables.
Interior Minister Y. C. Shapiro
has authority to deport persons
with criminal records, though he
must state his reasons and per-
haps defend the expulsion orders
in court. In this case he was ex-
pected to consult with Ben-Gurion
and the foreign and justice minis-
tries as well.
Soblen remained in the hospital
ward of Ramleh Prison near Tel
Aviv, where he was arrested
Thursday on suspicion of using
fraudulent documents to enter Is-
rael on his arrival from New York
via an Air France liner Tuesday.
A prison source said Soblen un-
derwent a blood test which con-
firmed he has leukemia. It was
the presence of this fatal blood
disease that prompted a New York
federal judge to sentence him to
life imprisonment rather than the
electric chair on his conviction
