Senate Votes odoy
On Wheat, Feed Grains

amendment and the second on
feed grains.
The Presidents wheat and
feed grains proposals both were
beaten by one-vote margins in
the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee. His hackers now are
trying to reverse these defeats
on the floor.
The administration amend
ments are being pushed by
Committee Chairman Ellender,
Democrat of Louisiana. They
would establish stricter controls
over production in an effort to
cut down the $7.5-billion sur
plus stockpile.
Both the wheat and feed
grains programs would have to
be adopted by votes of two
thirds Of the growers in a
referendum to become effective.
Senator BLENDERS wheat
amendment would strike out
of the bill authority inserted
by his committee for producers
to vote for a two-year extension
of the temporary wheat pro-
gram now in effect. This pro-
gram calls for a 10 per cent
acreage reduction.
The feed grains amendment
would strike out of the bill a
one-year extension of the pres
ent voluntary feed grains pro-
gram and provide instead for
a permanent marketing quota
program covering corn, barley
and sorghums.
Nearly all Republicans are
expected to oppose the Presi-
dents proposals. But Demo-
cratic leaders said they were
confident of holding most of
their members in line, includ-
ing a good share Of the South
ernerS.
Final passage of the bill is
not expected until tomorrow.
After the two major votes,
there is to be a fight over
changes in the present dairy
support program, and several
other provisions.

Jury 70 Study
New Autopsy
On Marshall

FRANKLIN, Tex, May "a
CAP.-County grand Jurors
hope to find answers today to
two questions in the death of
Henry Marshall.
They want to know whether
Mr.. Marshall, a State agricul-
tural official, was murdered or
committed suicide, and whether
his death had any connection
with the complex affairs of
Financier Billie Sol Estes. He
had been checking Estes cot
ton acreage allotments prior to
his death nearly a year ago.
DR.. j. A. Jachimczyk, a Hous-
ton pathologist, was to present
his final autopsy report to the
grand jury. He said two days
ago, after preliminary examina-
ton OF the exhumed body, that
he believed Mr.. Marshall did
not commit suicide.
Hint Shot in Back
District Attorney Bryan Russ
said the physicians view was
based on a belief that one of
the five bullets striking Mr..
Marshall entered the dead
mans back. DR.. Jachimczyk de-
clined to discuss this point with
newSmen.
Mr.. Marshall was found dead
last June 8 on his farm near
here. He had been shot five
times with a .22-caliber, bolt
action rifle.
Justice Of the Peace Lee
Farmer ruled suicide without
ordering an autopsy. An au-
topSy was performed by court
order Tuesday.
If the pathologist's report
confirms the murder theory,
Mr.. Russ said the grand jury
will consider motives and pos
Sible suspects.
Under subpoena to testify
was William Elliott, an investi-
gator for the United States Ag-
riculture Department, stationed
at Temple, Tex. Mr.. Elliott
was directed to produce a re-
port on cotton allotments pre-
Sumably based on findings by
Mr.. Marshall.
In a telegram to Secretary
Of Agriculture Freeman, Mr..
Russ and Texas Attorney Cen
eral Will Wilson said the re-
port by Mr.. Marshall was titled
billie Sol Eestes-Pecos, Tex"
and was not completed until
last October.
FBI Acts in Case
The Federal Bureau of In
vestigation is working with
State officials in the reopened
investigation Of Mr.. Marshall'S
death.
Members Of the grand jury
went to the spot where Mr..
Marshall's body was found
yesterday. Mr.. Russ said this
was "an attempt to solidify
the thinking Of the jury"
District Judge John Barron
said he had conferred with
DR.. Jachimczyk and felt that
the pathologist's earlier re-.
port of murder would not be
changed.
IF this is murder" Judge
Barron said, there are some
people we will be wanting toI
talk to-"
He didn't indicate who these
individuals might be.

rule on the motion from the
bench yesterday, but then said
he would put his thoughts in
writing. The written ruling,
which granted the defense re-
quest, was issued today.
First, he said that judicial

discussing outside of proper
judicial channels statements
about his actions.

this reason, he said, my lps
have been sealed"
Cites His Duty
But. the Judge said, the case
now was before him as part of
his judicial function. He said
his duty now required him to
"analyze" the appellate courts
opinion.
Judge Danaher's opinion, I"
Judge Holtzoff said, els exceed
ingly prolix and constitutes a
disorganized, desultory, dia-
tribe" He said the opinion dis
cussed a number Of points, but
decided only one.
Judge Holtzoff said the ap-
pellate court apparently only
ruled that statements by Naples
during a re-enactment of the
crime should have been ex-
cluded at the trial.
"Interspersed Tin Judge
Danaher's opinion) are a num-
Der of personal observations in
a somewhat petulant tone, :"
Judge Holtzoff said. He said
Judge Danaher seem e d
"piqued" at one point.
Judge Holtzoff said Judge
Danaher apparently was piqued
by the fact that Judge Holtzoff
had once written two articles
praising the English appellate
court.
Cites misunderstanding"
Judge Holtzoff concluded
with some general remarks
about what he called "a grow
ing misunderstanding as to the
respective functions of trial
and appellate courts"
The judge said that interme-
diate appellate courts, which
historically came after trial
courts had been established, are
sometimes said to exercise "su-
pervisory jurisdiction"
"This is a picturesque and an
apt figure of speech and, as
such it has its usefulness" he
said. But like figures Of
speech generally, it must not
be taken seriously"
Strictly speaking, interme-
diate appellate courts have no
supervisory jurisdiction" Judge
Holtzoff said. His statement
underscored what appears to be
a deep difference of opinion.

Estes Takes
5th in Court

Ell PASO, Tex, May "a (AP).
Billie Sol Estes refused to
answer most questions about
his collapsed empire of farm
related enterprises at a hearing
before his creditors yesterday.
After the court session, re-
cessed until June Is by United
States District Judge R. E.
Thomson, there were hints
that the huge complex of busi-
neSses built by Estes might be
forced into bankruptcy.
So far, as creditors seek to
recover part Of their invest
ment, the affairs Of the 81
year-old PecoS, Tex, financier
are in the hands Of a court
appointed receiver.
Estes, serious Of mien but
occasionally smiling, invoked
the Fifth Amendment six times.
He declined to answer ques-
tons dealing with his multi
million-dollar operations in
selling liquid fertilizer, storing
grain for the Government and
growing cotton under trans
ferred acreage allotments.
Faces Charges
One Of his lawyers, John
Cofer Of Austin, said replies by
Estes might tend to incrim-
mate him in view Of the pend
ing charges. He has been in
dicted on Federal charges Of
fraud and State charges of
theft.
1T Is difficult to see how
the questions would incrimin-
ate you," Judge Thomason told
Estes, "but we still have a Con-
stitution."
Estes would not state his oc-
cupation or the site Of his Of
ficeS. He refused to say
whether he had delivered all
records to the receiver, to dis
cuSs his list of assets or to say
whether he was interested in q
firm named Agriculture, Inc.
He advised the court, how
ever, that he would submit a
detailed statement Of assets by
June Is. Estes said he would
be here for further questions
then.
Owes $38 Million
Receiver Harry Moore, jr., of
El Paso reported a preliminary
check showed Estes liabilities
amounted to $38, 8,387,935 and
his assets totaled $20,793,154.
Judge Thomason named Mr..
Moore trustee in event Estes is
forced into bankruptcy. His
lawyers have said that Estes
was not bankrupt but disrupted
finances made it impossible to
meet his obligations.
Mr.. Moore will ask officials
in Washington Monday to
nullify an Agriculture Depart
ment order for removal of
about As million bushels Of
stored grain from elevators
formerly under Estes control.
Judge Thomson said hopes
Of creditors to collect rest
largely on continued rental
payments Of 81 to IS million a
year on the Government grain.
