Cuts New
Farm Funds
Washington, July 20
(AP) —The House Agri-
culture Committee has
approved a five billion,
477 million dollar bill to
finance the Agriculture De-
partment in the current fiscal
year. T h a t’s 877 million less
than President Kennedy re-
quested and 507 million less
than was appropriated last
year. Some of the cuts were in
the book-keeping category and
others may be restored when
the House considers the bill
next week. The current fiscal
year started July 1.
More than one-half the total
in the bill is for the commod-
ity Credit Corporation. Anoth-
er large chunk is earmarked
for foreign assistance programs
involving sales and barter of
surplus commodities. More than
800 million dollars of the com-
mittee’s cuts were the CCC and
foreign programs.
For the department’s regu-
lar activities, the committee ap-
proved one billion, 466 million
dollars, a reduction of 44 mil-
lion.
In addition to the cash in
the bill, 480 million dollars in
loan authorization was approv-
ed for the Rural Electrification
Administration, and 325 million
for loans for the Farmers Home
Administration.1 These agencies
handle loans for farm electri-
fication and telephone service
and for rural housing programs.
Among the larger allotments
of funds in the bill are these:
Agriculture research service,
160 million.
Payments to states for ex-
tension programs, 61 million.
Soil conservation payments,
90 million.
Watershed protection, 61 mil-
lion.
Special milk program, 105
million.
School lunch program, ,125
million, which includes ten mil-
lion for use in depressed areas
serving food to needy children.
Payments to producers under
the sugar act program, 80 mil-
lion.
-.Agricultural conservation pro-
gram, 242 million.
Conservation reserve pro-
gram, 300 million.
Reimbursement to the Com-
modity Credit Corporation for
operating losses and price sup-
port costs, two billion, 278
million dollars.

Patrol Plans
Stronger Fight
Against Deaths
Captain Glen Warner, com-
manding the Highway Patrol
in this area, announced today
a stepped-up enforcement pro-
gram in an attempt to halt
the steadily increasing num-
ber of traffic deaths in the
East Texas area.
“Analysis of our rural acci-
dent reports for the first six
months of this year show ex-
cessive speed as a causative
factor in 50 per cent of our
fatal accidents, with driving
while intoxicated second at 25
per cent and wrong side of the
road third at four per cent.
“Most drivers h a v e a ten-
dency to blame the other fel-
low for the accident problem.
Our reeoirtS show that they
are laboring under a false be-
lief. In 63 per cent of the fatal
accidents that have occurred in
this area this year only one car
was involved. The driver either
ran off the road, turned over
and killed himself, or he ran
into something besides another
motor vehicle,” the captain
said.
“I have issued orders to all
patrolmen in East Texas to in-
crease their efforts to appre-
hend traffic Ua^w violators.
The Highway Patrol is charged
with the responsibility of pro-
tecting the^Jiyes and property
of the peopl^of Texas. The
only immediate solution to an
increasing traffic death rate is
an increased enforcement pro-
gram. Since we have had more
people killed in traffic acci-
dents the first six'months of

Charged
Washington, July 20 M*> —
A Republican senator from
Delaware says that there was
a shortage of 68,000 bushels
of grain in Billie Sol Estes’*
warehouses when the depart-
ment of Agriculture reported
there was none.
Senator John J. Williams of
Delaware made the accusa-
tion today in a speech on the
floor of the Senate.
The man who heads the de-
partment’s Agriculture Stai-
bilization and Conservation
Service — Horace D. Godfrey
-noted however that 68,000
bushels amounts to only about
1.3 per cent of . the total grain
involved and said:
“Our examiners are permit-
ted a 3 per cent error when
they measure grain.”
Williams put into the ree-
d'd a statement in which the
comptroller general said that
in addition to the 68,000
bushels, additional grain was
missing from other warehous-
es in which the indicted Pecos,
Tex., financier reportedly has
interests.

was made public today by Wil-

Shot at Venus
Cape Canaveral, July 20 (if)—
The United States is ready to
launch a spacecraft at the
planet Venus in an effort to
solve mysteries which have
plagued scientists for centuries.
The spacecraft, Mariner One,
will be launched tomorrow
from Cape Canaveral. It will be
carried aloft by an Atlas-Agena
“B,” the nation’s most power-
ful operational space booster.
If all goes well, Mariner One
will sweep within 10,000 miles
of the sunlit side of Venus
about four months from now

In a brief 30-minute pass of
the planet, sensitive instru-
ments will reach electronic fin-

mantle of Venus and relay what
they find to earth by radio.

MAJOR OPERATORS ATTACKED
Independents Oppose c<mtmne Here
40-Acre Well Spacing
Houston, July 20 The
president of the Texas Land-
owners and Independent Oil
and Gas Producers Association
says that his group will op-
pose the doubling of the state-
wide oil well spacing pattern.
The president, S t a n le y C.
Woods, an independent opera-
tor from Houston, said last
night that his group will be in
Austin for the Aug. 16th Tex-
as Railroad Commission hear-
ing.
He said his group will ap-
pear:
“In force to protest this de-
velopment with every resource
at our command and to take
appropriate legal action if nec-
essary.”
But the president of the All-
Industry Committee for Equit-
able Development of Texas Oil
and Gas Resources—C. W. Al-
corn of Houston—said that his
group will support the move.
Said Alcorn: ..
“I am happy that the rail-
40 acres, and we will be at the
hearing to support it.”
Alcorn is vice chairman
Falcon Seaboard Drilling Com'
pany and i# a leader in Hous-
ton and Texas oil circles.
Wood’s statement continued
to blast the major oil opera-
tors.
Said the president of the in-
dependent oil and gas operators
organization:
“T h e major operators have
now made their move. . . ten
years after recognising the
problem. . .in the misguided be-
lief that now the public will
accept drastic revision of well
spacing rules which in effect
will rob the landowners of Tex-
as of millions of dollars in-de-
velopment money, and will
short-change the state of mil-
lions oh taxes.
“Should the new rule pro-
posed by the railroad commis-
sion go into effect, the majors
stand to feather their own nests
at the expense of all the peo-
ple. v

- The temperature is climbing.
With the mercury standing
at 93 degrees at noon today
the high marks for the past
two days already have been
bettered. And the 93 reading
also represents the hottest
noontime temperature of the
summer .
Thursday hi gh in Sulphur
Springs was 92, with the morn-
ing’s low today a plesaant 69.
Humidity had dropped at noon
to 54 per cent?
The prospects of a hotter
day here fit right into the over-
all Texas pattern, with weath-
ermen promising a scorching
day as skies cleared following
early week thundershower con-
ditions.
The long-rage forecast calls
for temperatures averaging two
to five degrees above normal
for the next five days.
School Tax
Board Hearings
Washington, July 20
(AP) — A former Agri-
culture Department em-
ploye in Texas has told
Senate investigators that
the late Henry Marshall’s
handling of the Billie Sol Es-
tes case appears open to dif-
ferent interpretations. v The
witness, William Mattox, said
he learned at one time, Mar-
shall failed to mention at a
meeting with Estes’ lawyers
what Marshall may have learn-:
ed about alleged illegal deals
by Estes. Mattox said he feels
Marshall may have felt he had
the farmers involved trapped,
or may have been under pres-
sure from above. Mattox him-
self was fired from the de-
partment for accepting favors
from Estes.
Mattox told the subcommit-
tee that in firing him Secre-
tary Freeman was motivated
by what he termed “a desire to
protect himself and seek a vic-
tim.” He did not elaborate.
The Senate subcommittee is
exploring whether Estes bene-
fited from favoritism and
political- influence in building
his now-bankrupt" grain stor-
age, cotton and fertilizer em-
pire. The 37-year-old financier
is now awaiting trial on fraud
charges.
Mattox insisted that the trip
to Washington was only to dis-
cuss with Assistant Secretary
of Labor Jerry Holleman the
wage rates for migrant farm
labor.
