Immediately, Mr.. Hughes said.
Mr.. Hales was In q rather
emotional state. I was unable
to get . clear picture from him
Of what he had In mind. He
insisted the Secretary was the
only person who could receive
his information"
Mr.. HUGHES said that at that
point he excused himself and
made arrangements for FBI
agents to come over immedi-
ately. He said when the FBT
agents arrived. he directed Mr..
Hales TO cooperate completely
with the FB1, which was now
IN complete charge Of the case.

Mr.. Hughes said.

lem as an administrative one
In the department over which
the FBI had no jurisdiction
or interest" Ne added that
since the FIJI agents apparently
had gotten al the information
they needed from Mr.. Hales.
his transfer could now take
effect.
The next day, Mr.. Hughes
said, two FBI agents visited
him again and indicated that
Mr.. Hales told them he had
been denied access to his rec
ords and that there was fur
ther information in them that
he needed.
''T told the FBI he had been
transferred out" Mr.. Hughes
said. but that II they wanted
Mr. Hales to 90 through his
office to get any information
they needed, we'd make him
available at any time. That
was the last I heard from the
bureau on that matter"
Mr.. Hales gave o more dra-
matte version Of his encounter
with the FBI. But before he
started It, he told newSmen he
was unprepared for the press
conference since he had been
given only 20 minutes notice
before 1t started.

that -disorganization" had re-
suited from the Estes case.
Mr., Hales. whom Mr.. God
frey had described as q friend
Of 20 years standing in search
of q promotion. said that with
the exception Of Mr.. Godfrey,
everyone present ct the meet
ing on the Estes case last No
vember agreed that Estes cot
ton allotment should be can
celed.
Mr.. Godfrey interjected that
at the November meeting, he
directed that the 1852 cotton
allotment notice would not be
sent to Estes and subsequently.
effective this week, the 1851
allotment was cancelled.
To Justice Department
To Mr.. Hales' complaint
that the Estes case had not
been sent to the Justice Depart
ment, several officials from the
Agriculture General Counsel's
office responded that the Estes
cotton dealings had been sent
TO the Attorney General on
April 13-before the sequence
described by Mr.. Hales.
This sequence began when
Mr.. Hales was first interviewed
by FBI agents at the request
of Mr.. Hughes. Mr.. Hales said
he made an appointment to
continue the conversation the
next day. April 20, but when he
arrived at his office. he found
an official barring the way.
He said he was then told by
Mr.. Cox that effective iname-
diately he was relieved Of his
duties relating 10 investigative
review and was transferred to
the Defense Service staff.
''Mr. Cox" he said, ''told me
/ no longer had access to In
vestigative files and I was not
to use or remove the files and
I was to report to another
office"
he added that Mr.. Cox told
him he had checked with Mr..
Hughes. who advised that Mr..
Hales was to be denied access
to the files.
When Q newSTnan interrupted
to ask Mr.. Hughes II there was
any indication that Mr.. Hales
was untrustworthy. Mr.. Hughes
replied that the FBI had told
him Mr.. Hales refused to say
under oath that he had not
given information to any un-
authorized source.
Inventorylng Files
Resuming his story, Mr..
Hales said he gained permission
to remove his personal effects
from his office and when he
reached there, he found several
people In his office, who said
they were inventorying the files
but could not get at the Estes
material because it was locked
in q safe to which only Mr..
Hales and his secretary had the
combination.
He said an employe Of the
security office came along to
change the combination Of the
safe. but couldn't get to it be-
cause he didn't have security
clearance.
Mr.. Hales continued that he
called the special agent in
charge OF the FBI washington
field office to say he could not
complete his interview with the
agents because he could not get
at his files,
Relating several conversations
with FBI officials, Mr.. Hales
said he was told the FBI had
no authority to require the
Agriculture Department to
make the files available.
Mr.. Hughes. howevr, insisted
that the FBI had gotten all the
files they requested.
When Mr.. Hales said one
source Of suspicion IN his mind
stemmed from the cutoff in
the normal reports which
should have reached him, Mr..
Godfrey asked him:
"Haye you ever handled any
case on your own?"
