“Heart of the Gulf Southwest”
SLUSH FI ND FOR BIG HUS
I NESS — In the proven of try-
ing to assist Lock head Aircraft
Corporation in an emergency
situation, the Congress is finding
itself entangled in propsisals to
provide an open-end fund to
benefit hig banks and big corpor-
ations. The legislation contains
practically no safeguards for the
taxpayers and is an open invita-
tion to the political maniou.ators
who might want to reward their
torporatc friends through guar-
antees of huge bank <oans. Any
losses would lie picked up out of
tax money and the Federal Gov-
ernment would be in the po.-ition
of guaranteeing high interest
rates and profits for the com-
mercial hanks. In older to pre-
vent the bar.kruptcy of le-ckheed
and of 34,000 small businesses
and the loss of over <>0,009 jobs,
I voted for the $250 million gu tr
antee whicn was all the Admin
miration had asked for but
against, the $2 billion bill which
is not neded at this time.

sto"k-loan scandals which have
rocked the state for nearly seven
months moved forward on three
fronts during the past week.
• Travis County District At-
teorr.ey Robert O. Smith an-
nounced plans t«--present to the
grand 'jury here evidence com-
piled by Texas Atty. Gen. Craw-
ford C. Martin's staff
Martin said evidence includes
material pertaining to federal
Securities and Exchange Com-
mission allegations that large
bank loans were extended to high
state officials by the Sharpstown
State Bank in 1969. Money went
to -tock purchases by officials at
the time Sharp-trwn bank head
Frank Sharp was trying to get
deposit insurance legislation
pa-sesi.
• Sharp was invited to tes-
tify within the next there weeks
before a House General Incsti
gating Committee.

I,-rested in 19<i't “and other mat-
ers that may be pertinent con
