District to Ask
GAO to Rule on
P. u. c. Spending

The Commissioners will ask
the General Accounting Office
for a ruling on what rights the
District Public Utilities Com
mission has in controlling its
own purse strings.
The Commissioners decision
was made after receiving an
opinion from the city'S legal
office that the P. U. C. is sub
ject to spending controls by
the city's budget office.
The Commissioners accepted
the opinion from the Corpora
ton Counsel's office, but de-
cided to play safe and try and
get a ruling later this year
from the General Accounting
Office.
Yesterdays action was set
off by a refusal by David P.
Herman, city budget officer, to
go along with a spending pro-
posal from James A. Washing
ton, jr., chairman of the P. U. c.
Mr.. Washington wanted to
shift about $4,000 in payroll
savings to office supply pur-
chases. Mr.. Herman approved
shifting only about $4,000.
Later, Mr.. Herman turned
down a request by Mr.. Wash
ington for permission to spend
81 400 on a rug and draperieS
for his office.

In Pursuit of Reds

SAIGON, South Wet Nam,
June 20 (AP).-Close to 1000
Wet Namese troops were
dropped or airlifted into a
Communist controlled zone so
miles north Of here today in
hopes Of catching the Wet
Cong's top commissar for the
Saigon region.
The operation was described
as the largest airborne combat
mission ever carried cut by the
government against the Wet
Cong. Two battalions Of para
troopers were dropped into the
area and other troops were
lifted by United States and
Wet Namese helicopters.
The landings repeatedly went
off without an incident. BY
late afternoon no contact with
enemy forces had been reported.
The whole operation was
cloaked In secrecy.
The mission apparently was
triggered by a tip that Saigon's
top Communist leader main
tanned headquarters in the
Communist-controlled zone due
north Of here. Unusual police
activity has been noted in
Saigon for several days.
The thickly forested zone has
been considered completely I'M

reports going back to 1869
showed that Estes was heavily
involved.
The Senator read a letter
from an unnamed correspond
ent saying that he turned down
a deal with Estes because Of
what the Dun & Bradstreet
report showed.
Il wouldn't have touched
him with a 10-foot pole after
reading the report" Senator
Mundt said.
DirectiVes Issued
Mr.. Freeman testified that
directives had been issued to
prevent a recurrence of another
Estes case but Senator Nc
Clellan brought out that the
specific matters were not COW
cred in material the Secretary
has supplied the subcommittee.
Mr.. Freeman said two addi-
tional documents covering the
points were being brought to
the subcommittee. The direc-
tives, he said. would insure
that any case involving irregu-
laritieS would be brought to
the attention of the headqu-
arterS office here.
The Secretary also said that
steps had been taken to require
review by the Washington of
flee of all acreage allotments
transferred from a pool of cot
ton land taken out of produc-
ton by eminent domain for
lakes, roads and such Federal
projects.
Senator Mcclellan empha-
sized his request for the spe-
cific directives by pointing out
that much Of what went
on with regard to Estes and
his cotton allotment acreage
scheme had not been brought
to the attention OF the depart
ment by State and local au-
thorities.
Mr.. Freeman acknowledged
that the system in effect before
was weak" But he said he
considered the new regulations
as adequate and was confident
that they would be enforced.
The Secretary said another
step was the establishment of
an office Of audit and investi-
cation to report directly to
him. He explained that this
vas under consideration and he
had decided on the move before
he Billie Sol Estes case de-
'eloped.

Under earlier questioning by

man testified that he believed
adequate" steps had been
taken by the department to
prevent another Billie Sol Estes
case.
The hearing spilled into a
discussion of farm prices when
Senator Mundt challenged Mr..
Freeman's statement yesterday
that under the Kennedy ad-
ministration the downward
trend of farm income had been
reversed.
Senator Mundt said a recent
Agriculture Department publ
cation listed the income of
farmers as per cent less than
it was before. For the record,
he said, he wanted the public
to know that we still have a
farm program"
Mr.. Freeman countered by
saying that farm income was
up over a billion dollars for
the first time in several years.
1t turned out that Senator
Mundt was talking about parity
and the Secretary about net
income and both stood by their
positions as being the mean
ingful figures with regard to
farm income.
