Representative Bass, Demo-
crat of Tennessee, charged to-
day there was "a three-way
collision" involved in Billie Sol
Estes getting into the grain
storage business in 1858.
The charges enlivened a
House subcommittee investi-

brought a quick denial from Of
ficials of the Commercial Sol
vents Corp. who were testifying
at the time.
Mr.. Bass. a member of the
subcommittee, reviewed the
chemical company's relation
with the Pecos CTex0 operator
and the Agriculture Depart
ment and said:
1T is a clear area of COL

The Tennessean said that
Commercial Solvents lent Estes
$225,000 as a down payment
on his first storage facility at
a time when Estes had received
no license to store grain for
the Government.

as Bobby Nichols of Midland,
Tex, grabbed the early first
round lead in the National
Open golf championship with
a 1-under-par 70.
Nichols, a 26-year-old Ken

AirIines Strike Near
After Talks Break off
Union Bars
GoIdbere's
Peace Plan

A strike against three major
airlines was called inevitable"
by union officials today as
Government efforts to settle a
long standing dispute broke
down before noon.
Secretary of Labor Goldberg,
who had led an all-night con-
ference, reported the union
had rejected a last minute
company offer as well as a
proposal of voluntary three
man arbitration made by
President Kennedy.
Mr.. Goldberg left the Labor
Department Immediately to re-
port developments to Mr.. Ken
needy.
Whether the White House
would try additional measures
was uncertain. Earlier, there
were indications that Mr.. Ken
nedy might propose special
legislation to Congress to deal
with the situation.
Three Meetings Set
Informed sources said this
could take the form of a ban
against airline strikes and a
requirement that airline strikes
be submitted to arbitration.
Another possibility was for
the President to ask Congress
to declare such strikes national
emergencies. giving the Gov
eminent power to seize the
lines.
Although time of the i'm
pending strike remained a union
secret. one representative said
the hour already had been Sc
lected and that the public
would know about it when
picketS appeared.
Ronald Brown, union presi-
dent, said the 1,700 members
already had granted strike
sanction but that he wanted to
lay the facts before them once
more to determine their wishes.
$1,000 Employees Involved
Word of the strike action
probably will come from three
cities, he indicated, each meet
ing deciding as to one of the
three airlineS involved-Eastern

and Pan American World Air

June IA (AP) Acting Secre-
tary-G General U Thant put for
ward today a broad 10-year
United Nations program for in
creasing the living standards
of millions of people who are
hungry, ill-clothed and unable
to read or write.
Described as proposals for
a U. N. development decade"
the multi-billion-dollar pro-
gram is an outgrowth of a pro-

General Assembly last Novem-
Der Is. He urged that the cur
rent decade be declared "a
U. N. development decade"
p Under the leadership of the
United States and is other ma

unanimously a resolution giving
that name to the decade. Mr..
Thant called the action per
haps as significant in its poten-
tialitieS as any resolution ever
adopted by the United Nations"
U. S. Main Supporter
There has been no an
nouncement by the United
States-the principal supporter
of U. N. aid programs in the
past - as to just how much
money it would contribute.
The Soviet Union, which also
voted for the resolution, has
not made any specific COM

under which the national in
