Capt. Peoples said that he

connected to the Estes case.
A confidential report, dated
October 81, 1861, said that j.
Taylor Allen, an official of the
Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation Service, told in
vestigatorS that before his
death Mr.. Marshall had advised
Estes lawyer the cotton allot-
ment plan was against regula-
tons. Information from the
report first was disclosed by The
Washington Star last Sunday
If Estes attorney now says
that Mr.. Marshall approved his
scheme he is not stating a fact
the report quotes Mr.. Allen as
alleging.
Sought More Cotton
The indicted financier had
evolved a plan to grow more
price-supported cotton by get
ting more Government allot-
ments. Estes sold land to cot
ton farmers who had lost their
land but still had allotments.
In turn, the farmers leased the
land back to Estes and trans
ferred to him their allotments.
The report describes Estes as
saying he had depended on his
lawyer, John P. Denniscn, and
his associates to insure that his
allotment plan was within law.
1t states he believed they fol-
lowed the advice of the stabili-
zation service officials.
And it says further that
Estes promised to take the case
directly to Secretary of Agricul-
ture Freeman and, if necessary,
to President Kennedy, if de-
partment officials tried to
cancel the allotments. In his
view, this was changing the
rules in the middle of the game.
The Star reported early last
month that the 37-year-old
Estes hurried to Washington
last October Is threatening to
embarrass the Agriculture De-
partment and the administra-
ton unless the investigation of
his cotton operations was called
off.
Albert Tells of Protest
Representative Albert, DEM
ocrat of Oklahoma, the House
majority leader, said in Wash
ington today that as early as
February, 1861, he had writ
ten to Secretary of Agriculture
Freeman protesting the man
ner in which cotton allotments
were being transferred to
Texas from his section of Okla
homa. The allotments were
from land taken by the Gov
eminent for the Eufala Dam
and Reservoir.
Mr.. Albert said he knew
nothing about Estes at the
time, but reported that an
Oklahoma attorney had advised
him "a group of three Texans
working for a man out of
Pecos" was arranging with
farmers to transfer their al
lotments. The Congressman
said this appeared to be "a
gimmick that should be
stopped"
Mr.. Albert said Mr.. Free
man replied that procedures
were being frightened to permit
transfers of allotments only in
cases of bona fide land sales
County farm committees were
given. authority to check on
this, Mr.. Freeman said.
