Star Staff Writer

Labor Secretary Goldbere
has sent letters to all Govern
ment department and agency
heads and personnel officers
reminding them to take a
liberal attitude in allowing
management and supervisory
people to hold national or local
office in Government unions.
1t was another move by Mr.
Goldberg to meet the criticism
of Government white-collar
enlploye unions that the origi-
nal Interpretation by admins
tration officials of President
Kennedy's labor-management
executive order would force
most supervisors in union
offices to give up their union
posts.
The unions contended that
this would seriously cripple
their operations and destroy
many of their locals.
Since then Mr.. Goldberg, as
well as Civil Service Commits
sion officials, has acted to ease
the union fears and emphasize
that the intent of President
Kennedy's executive order was
not to bar all supervisors and
management people from union
office as originally interpreted
In his letter to departments
and agencies several days ago
Mr.. Goldberg referred to the
part of the order which saws
that management officials and
supervisors with significant
N q n a Responsibilities
ought not to serve as union
officers.
THE sole object of this rule
is to avoid conflicts of interest,
The essential requirement
Is that no one shall be allowed
to bargain with himself" Mr.,
Goldberg declared. THE pur-
pose Of this rule is not to
weaken the unions involved
On the contrary, it is only when

illegal Acts by Estes Hinted
In Report Withheld by U. S..

A l40-page report which the
Agriculture Department has re-
fused to disclose contains a
mass of evidence indicating
that Billie Sol Estes acquired
cotton acreage allotments il
legally, it was learned yester-
Gay.
The report, dated last Octo-
Der 81. covered months of the
investigation of the indicted
Pecos CTex0 operators cotton
activities.
Secretary Of Agriculture
Freeman had withheld the re-
port from Texas authorities
Investigating the mysterious
death Of Henry H. Marshall,
administrator of the Govern
n1ent's cotton allotment pro-
gram in that State.
But yesterday Attorney Gen
eral Robert F. Kennedy an
nounced that relevant parts of
the report were being made
available to a Texas grand
Jury. He said verbatim excerpts
had been flown to Texas.
Cancellation Rescinded
The report was submitted
more than a month before the
Agriculture Department can
cened an allotment Of 5000
acres obtained by Estes. The
CANCELLATION later was res
ci1ded.
Texas Attorney General Will
Wilson had requested and had
been denied the report on at
least two occasions. The latest
was in connection with the in
vestigation Of the Marshall
death.
The body Of Mr.. Marshall,
who was reported to have been
Investigating the Estes opera
tions, was found last June 3 on
his farm near Franklin, Tex.
He had been shot five times
with a .22-caliber rifle and a
verdict Of suicide was returned.
New evidence submitted last
week to a Texas grand jury in
dicated that he may have been
killed.
Copies Are Limited
Only a limited number Of
copies Of the report-one source
said only five-were prepared.
Distribution Of it was restricted
to officials in the Agriculture
Department and the Justice
Department.
Some Of the highlights of
the report are:
/. Interviews and in some
cases detailed statements from
200 persons, including many of
those who owned cotton allot-
ments that wound up with
Estes.
2. Only five Of these, it Is
understood, regarded the trans
fer Of the allotments as strictly
legal.
3. Only two Of the five said
they actually intended to buy
land from Estes and meet the
payments on it.
Cannot Be Sold
Under the law cotton allot-
ments cannot be sold or trans
fGred to another person. But
In cases involving allotments on
land taken by the Federal Gov |
eminent under eminent do
main for reservoirs and other
projects, the allotmentS may be
transferred.
sThe report covered land |
sold by Estes to persons hold
ing such allotments. The ar
rapgement, the report explains,
provided that the individuals
would buy land-aften a few
yards wide and maybe a half
mile long-from Estes and pay
for it in a year in three in
stallments.
The agreement, it was said,
provided that the land and
the allotment would 60 to Es-

ganizations can effectively rep.

Mr.. Goldberg then added
This rule will be applied in q
reasonable manner, with full
regard for the specific situa-
ton of the individual en-
ployeS concerned"
Mr.. Goldberg continued, "Ir
the Labor Department, for ex.
ample, at the present stage OF
discussions of this question
with AFGE. Lodge IL, it is the
tentative conclusion Of the de-
partment's management that
only one out of 18 officers of
Lodge Pa member of its ex-
ecutive committee who also is
chief of the division of man
agement services for one of our
bureaus-would have to be con-
sidered a management official
for purposes Of the Executive
Order"
In other words. Mr.. Goldberg
stressed that although most of
the 18 union officers of Lodge
IL are supervisors or in some
kind of management work, only
one will be barred from contin-
uing as a union officer. Thus,
Mr.. Goldberg cited this example
for other Government depart
ments and agencies to follow
Mr.. Goldberg also enclosed
with his letter to the agencies
a copy Of the progress report
he has made to President Ken
nedy on the new labor-manage-
men program.
In this report, Mr.. Goldberg
expressed confidence that the
target date of July l for fully
implementing the executive or
der will be achieved.

In a news conference May g
Secretary Freeman said the al

quarrel which did not involve
criminal penalties.
On the following day Senator

would have a lot of explaining
to do as a witness in the Sen
ate hearings on the Estes af-
fair.
ASSailS DeniaIs
The Senator, a member OF
the Investigations Subcommit-
tee, said Mr.. Freeman's denialS
that Estes received favored
treatment are "in bold contrast
to the evidence
Records indicate that a copy
of the report went to Secretary
Freeman's office. But whether
he saw it could not be estab-
liShed.
From available evidence, the
activities Of Estes were under
investigation by Mr.. Marshall
and others in the Department
before Estes was named last
July as a member Of the ad-
ministration's Cotton Advisory
Committee.
Shortly before the Depart
ment's report was submitted
Estes, accompanied by his law
yer, John Dennison of Pecos,
visited Agriculture officials
here and demanded that the in
vestigation be called off.
Last November is John C.
Bagwell, the Departments
general counsel, ruled against
Estes. On December 81 the
Agriculture Department sent
out notices cancelling the Pecos
operators allotments.

Then on January 6, Estes
came to Washington and went

MED by Senator Marlborough Of
Texas and Representative

Both bills resulted from Ken

They differ in design but relate
directly to Federal budget def
icits. In one form or another,
both must become law before
the end of June. And, in both
instances, legislation of the
same kind will be back again
a year from now.
Approval Seen
Approval Of some increase in
the temporary" debt ceiling of
$500 billion was practically as
sured as the committee yester-
day scheduled public hearings
for Thursday and Friday. The
actual debt now stands uncom-
fortably close to $500 billion. 1t
soon is likely to exceed that
total in view of the prospec-
tive budget deficit at the end
Of the current fiscal year June
80.
Republicans and some Dem
ocratS on the committee, how
ever, made clear that Treasury
Secretary Dillon and other ad-
ministration witnesses this
week will have to come I'D with
especially persuasive facts and
realistic arguments to obtain
anywhere near a $308 billion
ceiling.
The statutory permanent"
limit on the national debt has

President and the country re-
duce our huge public debt.
First, the Congress should not
add unnecessary funds to the
Presidents requests. Last year,
in several instances, the Con-
gress actually spent more mon
ey that the President thought
necessary or sound. l refer to
cases such as the Housing Act
of 1861, where funds were add
ed to several sections of the bill
in order to provide certain areas
Of the country with special
favors.
Second, we in the Congress
must be particularly careful to
see that all government waste
is curtailed and abolished. The
United States General Account
ing Office, watchdog of waste
for the Congress, recently re-
ported that millions of dollars
are being wasted because of
mistakes, oversight and bad
judgment. The GAO is to be
congratulated for its fine job
in locating this waste, and it is
now the job of the Congress to
provide new procedures and
safeguards to abolish this
known waste.
Third, should facts develop
which indicate that the 500 bill
lion in revenues may be real
lied, the Congress will be re-
quired to stimulate the econ.
omy. For example, a lag in
business activity and a continu-
alton of high unemployment
could reduce tax receipts
enough to throw the budget out
of balance. l have urged the
approval or tax measures, such
as steppe dup depreciation
schedules, as one means of en-.
couraging business expansion
and the resultant rise in em.
ployment.
These are but three general
areas in which the Congress has
responsibility to see that income
equals or exceeds outgo. Admit
tedly, the budget is precariously
balanced. / assure you Of my
conviction that it is important
to maintain this balance.
