Slicking To Schedule
Kennedy said he would rec

"if we feel that the situation

State Sen. Vein Cook (D-

the plan a "vicious proposal"

the "selfish special interests."

State Legislator
Plans To Fight
Highway Bonds
Corvallis I11PH - State Rep.
Dick Hoyt (R-Corvallis) today
called on all state legislators
to oppose further highway
bond issues by the legislature.
"When the people of Ore
gon understand how costly
and how damaging the financ
ing of highways through bond
isues is to our state highway
system, Oregon will quickly
return to pay as- you go meth
ods," Hoyt said.
The financial drain on high
way funds to pay interest and
retire bonds during the next
few years will jeopardize the
full matching of federal funds
available for non-interstate
highways, the Corvallis He
publican said. Hoyt served as
a member of t lie House High
ways Committee during the
1901 session.
Money Said Expensive
"When those counties that
are depending on the normal
allocations of highway funds
for their districts realize that
every million dollars of high
way bonds is costing their dis
trict in new construction be
tween $500,000 and $834,000
as is the case with the counties
in northwest Oregon," he
said, "they will oppose issu
ance of more bonds."
The 1961 legislature, he
said, authorized highway
bonds totaling $:)2 million.
Over $27 million more were
seriously considered but not
passed, he said.
KiRlil million dollars of the
l!)(il bond authorization were
"definitely contrary" to the
spirit of the stale constitution,
Hoyt said.
Authority Denied
The constitution specifically
denies authority to the legisla
ture to "pass special or local
laws for laying, opening and
working on highways," he
said.
Conservation Committee, and
Arthur D. Stone, the office
performance supervisor, ac
knowledge this publicly be
fore the Senate Investigations
subcommittee.
Their testimony was in di
rect conflict with their prior
sworn statements, portions of
which had been read to the
subcommittee. The pair, both
career men with the depart
ment's field service who have
served since the 1930s, said
they have resigned.
Dumas and Stone admitted
receiving money after the
transaction had been outlined
by Alphonse Calabrese, inves
tigator for the subcommittee,
and Parnell Biggerstaff, a one
time Estes employee.
Dumas testified he had re
ceived the money and that he
"gave one-half of it to Stone."
Stone acknowledged he had
received the payment.
According to Biggerstaff,
the two Oklahomans were
paid the money for helping
with data to guide him to
farmers who were interested
in transferring their cotton
allotments.
Biggerstaff testified that he
delivered an envelope contain
ing money to the Eufaula,
Okla., office of the two men.
He said he had not counted
the contents but knew it con
tained money because there
was change in it.
Calabrese testifed that the
sum totalled exactly SI,
640.80. He said this computa
tion was based on a memo
listing 28 farmers who trans
ferred 328.1 acres of cotton
allotments to Texas at S5 per
acre. Biggerstaff agreed that
the S5 per acre basis had
been approved by officials of
Estes farm-finance empire,
including Billie Sol's broth
er, Bobby Frank. Eji.es.
The investigations subcom
mittee began detailed spade
work in its study of Estes'
I controversial cotton allot
ment operations.
I The Senate group is also
: seeking to find out what Tex
as officials did about a 19b0
memo stating that cotton
lease-sale contracts used by
Estes violated the law.
Testimony at the outset was
! to feature a memo sent in De-.
! cembcr 1960 by H. L. Man
i waring, then deputy adminis-
trator for production adjust
! mcnt of the Agriculture De-
partment's Commodity Stab
ilization Service (CSS).
The memo said the lease
sale contracts employed by
Estes were a scheme and a
device in violation of he
law.

MEANEY CHALLENGES EAST GERMANY
Berlin-ilil'll-American labor leader George Meany chal
lenged the East German communists Thursday to open their
Berlin anti-refugee wall for one month,
"This proposal is practical, it will endanger no one,"
Meany said. "Who has any reason lo fear the reunion of
families on a breath of the fresh air of freedom for a trial
period of one month?"
JAPANESE TO ASK RESTRICTIONS ON RADIOS
Tokyo-itl'li-Japanese diplomats will go lo Hong Kong
later this month to ask the British Crown colony lo restrict
its exports of transistor radios lo the United Stales, accord
ing to the Kyodo news agency.
Kyodo said radios assembled in Hong Kong with low.
cost labor are underselling Japanese radios in the United
Slates.
PHILIPPINES. SPAIN PLEDGE TO FIGHT
Madrid-tiPI'-The Philippines and Spain today pledged
their "mutual determination" lo fight the communist threat
against "the security and freedom of the peoples."
An official communique released by the Spanish foreign
office at the end of a six-day visit lo Spain by President
Diosdado Macapagal said thai the Philippines had accepted
a Spanish offer "to participate in Macapagal's economic
plan" to raise the standards of living of Filipinos.
ITALIAN PRINTERS GO OUT ON STRIKE

ADENAUER TOURS FRENCH PROVINCES

to question officials ' of the
Texas CSS committee to find
out what treatment was given
to Manwaring's memo and to
an earlier memo, which in
effect, gave approval to an
other, unrelated allotment
transfer arrangement.
There were echoes of par
tisan politics today in the Sen
ate's week-old investigation
of Estes.
Sen. Karl E. Mundt (R-S.D.)
announced that because Estes
was a Democrat and a "big
Democratic contributor," it
will hurt the Democratic
cause in this fall's elections.
Sen. Edmund Muskie iD
Maine), also a subcommittee
member, retorted that any ma
jor election-year investigation
has "political overtones."
He said there is no basil
at this stage for finding "ei
ther the Democratic or Re
publican party clearly culpable."
