Soon 10 Explain Role
lin 'kick-back' Check,

Alexander Campbell, one-time
head Of the Justice Departments
Criminal Division. will come to
Washington soon to explain his
role in relaying "kick-back"
checks to an Agriculture Depart
|ment official.
Mr.. Campbell is now an attor-
ney in Fort Wayne, Ind. He con-
tends he was used" in the shady
deal.
The Senate Agriculture Com
mittee wants to hear more under
oath. The committee will send
all the testimony to the Justice
Department for possible criminal
prosecutions.
Report by Investigator.
A committee investigator dis
closed yesterday that a Baton
Rouge Ua.) warehouse firm used
Mr.. Campbell last year to relay
50, 800 to Jack Cowart. then assist
ant to Elmer S. Kruse, Deputy
Administrator of the Agriculture
Departments Production and
Marketing Administration.
The committee investigator pro-
duced evidence that Mr.. Cowart
helped get Government storage
business for the Baton Rouge
warehouse and then received a
roundabout kick-back on part Of
the profits.
The investigator, Carmine Bel
limo, said the warehouse sent Mr..
Campbell six checks between Feb
ruary and July last year. He said
Mr.. Campbell then indorsed these
checks over to Mr.. Cowart's bank
account in Dallas. Tex.
Lost in Race for Senate.
Mr.. Campbell resigned as Assist
ant Attorney General to run for
Senator from Indiana two years
ago. He lost to Senator Capehart,
Republican. s@ 4
Mr.. Bellino said the checks via
Campbell were only a small por-
ton Of mysterious deposits that
went into Cowart's bank accounts
in 1949. 1850 and 1851. He said
deposits included $15,861 in
Government salary and expense
checks. but there also were de-
posits Of $34.348 in other checks,
81 200 in cash and about $4,000 in
Western Union money orders.
Mr.. Bellino had an explana-
tion for one item of $17,500. He
said this was from the Baton
Rouge warehouse. It was made
out to Cowart's mother in law
who indorsed it over to Cowart,
Mr.. Bellino said.
He testified this check and
those sent through Mr.. Campbell
were in payment for stock the
|mother-in-law had bought" in
the warehousing firm. She ac-
quired the stock by signing a
Ipromissory note; later the COM
Ipany bought" back the stock by
canceling the note and issuing
the checks.
COwart Fired Last Year.
.Cowart was fired from the Ag-
|riculture Department last year
and has been convicted Of accept
ing illegal fees in another case
while he still worked for the
Government.
Mr.. Bellino, a Certified Public
Accountant, said he could not ex-
plain all the checks that were
deposited to Cowart's account.
Some, he said, were from Won E.
Livingston, a law partner of Mr..
Campbell, and Robert Colina, a
member of a group Of livestock
dealers Mr.. Livingston represents.
Other money, Mr.. Bellino said,
came from former Chicago con-
vict who was involved in the
Nathan Tietelbaum case.
Senators Aiken, Republican, of
Vermont, and Thye, Republican.
of Minnesota, wanted to know
how Cowart ever got a Govern
ment Job. Nobody had an answer
to that.

egg" said Committee Chairman
Ellender, of Louisiana. Hes just

Do these arguments have genuine
merit? Let us see.
L. Approximately 100000 acres of
school lands have been leased in Will
| liston basin since discovery in Mon
tana, July IS, 1851. First year bonus
es of as much as $50 per acre have
been paid to secure state land leases.
Does that indicate any lack of in
centive on the part of operators?
2. 1t costs about the same to drill
a well in the Williston Basin that will
produce 5000 barrels per month as
it does one that will produce $4,000
barrels per month. Should then the
public schools share in the gravy"
from big well be cut in half? 1t
doesn't make sense, does it?
3. In proven field, operators will
jump at the opportunity to lease pub
lie as well as private lands. To avoid
draining off oil reserves of school
lands by operators drilling adjacent to
such lands, the Land Board under
present law has the authority to
order leaseholders to drill offset wells
within 220 feet of the boundary line
Of state-private lands to ensure that
oil reserves of state lands are not
drained off by adjacent drilling. The
Land Board also has the authority to
cancel the lease of an operator at any
line after two years if the operator
las not observed orders of the board. |

laws governing school leases, can de-
prive Montana children of hundreds
of millions of dollars for educational
purposes.
The stakes are so large, they hold
promise of staggering the widest
imagination.
The question arises: Would it not
be the wise thing.for the next legisla-
ture to move slowly, if at all, be-
fore it gives its approval to any leg
islation that will in any way weaken
present school oil land leasing laws?
Remember, the fruits of develop
ment of our oil resources today will
mean greatly augmented income for
public school education for our child
rem, our grandchildren, and succeed
ing generations during the centuries
yet to come.
NOTE: The state constitution pro-
vides that all royalties must go into
the Permanent School Fund until a
total of $500,000,000 is reached, dur
ing which time the interest accruing
on the accumulated balance may be
used for current school financing. AT
ter that, one-twentieth of all roy
alties go into this fund, the balance
for current operation. $500 million,
at an annual return of per cent,
will provide $15,000,000 per year
for public school education in Mon
tana. Total school budget for this
year, from state, county and district
is approximately $22 million.
1t becomes apparent that interest
earned from royalties will eventually |
provide much of the financing of our
public school system, thus permitting
better education for Montana child |
zen, at less tax dollar cost to Mon
ANA citizens, businesses and corpor-
alton.
