Hurts CreWmun

SAIGON, South Wet Nam,
April 81 (AP).-A United States
Air Force twin-engine trans
port crashed yesterday in a
mountainous area near the
border between North and
South Wet Nam. One crew.
man was injured but two others
apparently escaped unhurt.
1t was the fifth plane crash
involving United States per-
sonnet since the United States
stepped up aid to South Wet
Nam in the war against Wet
Cong Communist guerrillas.
Eleven Americans died in two
Of the previous crashes.
An Air Force spokesman said
the C-123 plane was on a
routine flight. Names of the
crewmen were not released.
The planes have been used to
spray plant-killing chemicals
along roadSides in an effort to
deprive Communist guerrillas
of cover. Apparently the ex-
periments have been unsuc-
cessful.

Ralph Denies Estes Gifts,
SoIesmen Tell of FITTINGS

DALLAS, Tex, April 81 (AP)
"A former Assistant Secretary
of Agriculture. James T. Ralph,
has testified at a court Of in
quiry that he accepted no gifts
from West Texas financier
Billie Sol Estes.
In later testimony, however,
three statesmen from the Nei-
man-Marcus department store
said Mr.. Ralph was fitted with
two expensive suits and with
two pairs of shoes costing 1866
per pair.
They testified the suits were
sent to Estes at a Washington
hotel while the shoes were de-
livered to Estes at q Dallas
hotel where both he and Mr..
Ralph were staying.
Mr.. Ralph testified that
when he visited the Dallas store
with Estes last September, the
West Texas financier was so
insistent that he accept ex-
pensive clothing that at be-
came an embarrassment"
Confronted with an exchange
slip dated october "a, 1861, Mr..
Ralph said his father-in-law
had received two shirts from q
Mr.. Wilson whom he said he
did not know.
Exchanged Shirts
Mr.. Ralph testified that on
his next trip to Dallas he ex-
changed the shirts at Neiman-
Marcus for five cheaper ones.
A Dallas attorney told the
court of inquiry Of lengthy
talks with Estes while investi-
eating the financier's opera
tions.
The witness was Frank Cain,
who represents Pacific Finance
Co., one Of a number Of lending
firms that sued Estes after his
indictment on Federal charges
Of fraud.
Mr.. Cain said that when he
told Estes the FBI was investi-
eating him, Estes said, II can
stop that. I will get Lyndon
johnson on the phone"
Arrested on Fraud Charge
The attorney said he did not
know whether Estes called Vice
President johnson or not, but
that night Estes told him 1--WE
got that investigation stopped"
Several days later Estes was
arrested on Federal charges
that he bilked finance COM
panies Of millions Of dollars
by obtaining loans on what the
Government said were non-
existent fertilizer tanks.
Mr.. Cain also testified that
he heard Estes talking over the
phone with q man Estes identi-
fled as Jamie Whitten." Mr..
Cain said he was curious about
a $40, 900 payment which Estes
said he had to make. He said
he asked Estes, was that the
payoff?" and Estes replied that
1t was.

Coal, Inc. owns the BLACK
Knight" mine at Ravensdale,

James Andersen, jr.. Seattle
attorney and secretary Of Coal,
Inc. said in Seattle no stock
certificates in the mine have
ever been issued to Estes. James
Andersen, a Republican mem
Der Of the Washington House
Of Representatives, is a nephew
Of the Minnesota Congressman.
He said the mine has never
had a Government contract
and does not anticipate getting
one because coal in the mine
does not meet Government
standards.
He said Coal. Inc, Is q fam

cent Of the stock owned by
members Of the family. He said
the Ravensdale mine was dis
covered by his father, James
Andersen, ST.
Representative Andersen, In
a statement last Tuesday, said
he had sold Estes IS shares in
the coal mine at SIS a share
last January and another IS
shares in March.
Another Agriculture Depart
ment employe, Emery E. ia
cobs, resigned in the wake Of
testimony linking him to Estes.
Increased Bond
In another development, the
Agriculture Department in
Washington said in a state
ment last night it once wanted
Estes to post 81 million bond
in connection with his storage
Of Government grain.
The Department said 1t de-
cided, after determining from
a financial statement that
Estes net financial worth was
in excess Of $12 million, to
continue his bond on grain
storage operations at $700,000.
Meanwhile, the Dallas Morn
ing News said in a copyrighted
story today that an audit Of
Estes financial condition was
inconclusive.
The story said a certified
public accountant who made
the audit did not claim 1t was
accurate. The News said 1t was
prepared by the Lubbock firm
Of jackson and Rodgers. The
News said the Department re-
quested the audit.

white youth was shot to death
while driving through q Negro

Thirteen more arrests were
made and several cars contain
ing teenage white youths were
stopped and searched last night
by heavily reinforced police
units.
Most Of those arrested were
charged with disorderly con-
duct and having weapons in
their possession. More than 40
mostly teen-agers, have been
arrested since racial troubles
broke out Monday.
The stern police measures
backed UP appeals by both
white and Negro leaders for the

so identified in Mr.. Gains
testimony.
The Dallas Times Herald re-
ported that Representative
Whitten denied having any
business with Estes.
II never heard Of such a
thing" Mr.. Whitten said when
contacted in Mississippi.
II never heard Of this fellow
(EStes) before I met him last
January through some Of my
Texas colleagues" the Con-
gresham stated.
Estes was represented as a
Horatio Alger sort Of fellow
What his business was I never
knew. He never solicited any
favors from me. The Depart

to me about Estes. I never
went to the department about
Estes, and I never did anything

Mr.. Whitten is chairman of
the House Appropriations Agri-

Violence Continues in Algeria;
French Act to Step Up Campaign

while ordered security forces
to step up their campaign
against extremists in Oran and
Algiers beginning Monday.
Gen. Salan, 63. a former five
star general, had been on the
fugitive list for a year. His
arrest removed from circula-
ton the last of four major
figures in the abortive generals
revolt against President De
Gaulle in April. 1861.
The other three are Gen.
Jouhaud and former Gems.
Maurice Challe and Andre Eel
Ter. The last two surrendered
after the insurrection failed
and were sentenced to IS years
In prison.
Gen. Salan already had been
sentenced to death in absen-
tia. But under French law, the
sentence will be set aside and
he will be tried in person,
probably within a few weeks.
The charges will stem from the
revolt and his secret army
leadership.
The procedure will be the
same as in the case of Gen.
Jouhaud, who also had been
sentenced to death in abSentia.
The sentence was voided after
his arrest in Oran March 25.
then he was again condemned
to die after trial before a court
martial earlier this month.
Salan's Hair Dyed
French authorities said they
had been plotting Gen. Salan'S
moves for the past month and
moved in on him when a cap
tured secret army officer pin
pointed his Algier's hideout.
The terrorist chief was pre-
pairing to lunch with his wife,
Lucienne, his daughter, Dom
Unique, and two aides when
security police entered his
fashionable fifth-floor apart
ment.
Gen. Salan had his gray
hair dyed black and wore a
moustache, the disguise he as
sumed after going underground
a year ago.
The stunned Salan at first
refused to talk to police. Taken
to a nearby army barracks he
later accepted a sandwich and
a glass Of wine, then he ad-
mitted he was the secret army
leader.
He was flown by helicopter
to q military air base outside
Algiers. There he was con-
fronted by Gen. Charles ALL
leret, commander Of French /
forces in Algeria, who told him: T
You have committed many :
crimes as the leader Of the
Secret army and now you must 9
account for them"
Flown to Paris c
A short time later, Gen. Salan !
was flown to Paris. There was i
no immediate word on the
whereabouts Of his wife and c
daughter. Mrs. Salan remained |
BY her husbands side as he di- ]
rected Secret army operations i
and many observers believe she
had great influence over his
decisions.
There was no indication, =
however, that she would face
any charges.
When Gen. Salan arrived at {
Sante Prison, the right-wing a
prisoners began rioting and L
shouting Algeria is French" n
and "Salan to power" Police {
used tear gas to subdue the e
prisoners while firemen turned +
hoses on the flames from the

Most Of the demonstrators
outside the prison also chanted =
Secret army slogans but a num-
ber. of persons in the crowd
shouted their opposition to Gen.

He was a brother of the late
Republican Senator Joseph I.

unsucceSsfully against former
President Hoover for the Re-

he spent only one day in jail
before the prosecutor pro-
nounced the case against him
unjustified.
