tions taken so far by WASH
Iington, including the statement
by President Kennedy several
days ago denouncing the mill
tary seizure of power, have al
ready produced some results
pleasing to Washington. They
cited reports that the junta
would release deposed Presi-
dent Manuel Prado, the alb
Sence of a purge of former gov
.ernment officials and political
leaders, and promises of ma
tional elections next summer.
So far, according to the
State Departments informa-
ton, only two countries have
established relations with the
Peruvian ruling group-Haiti
and Portugal. The State De-
partment considers this to be
an encouraging sign of disap-
proval of a military seizure of
power. Even countrieS-such as
Mexico and Brazil-which are
traditionally opposed to any
action which could be con-
strued as Intervention in the
internal affairs of another ma
ton have refrained from rush
ing into full diplomatic ac-
ceptance of the Peruvian re-
gime.
Nevertheless, it appears that
official hopes here for evidence
of strong disapproval of the
regime in Peru itself have been
disappointed. Signs of wide
spread dissatisfaction failed to
develop in the days immedi-
ately following the military
takeover, and a general strike
which was expected to demon
strate the power of the Amer
lean Popular Revolutionary Al
lance failed to materialize.
The main pressures on the
regime, therefore, are those
generated outside the country
and this appears likely to con-
tinue to be true in the predict
able future. Some additional
external pressure may be gen.
Grated through actions of the
Organization Of Americ a n
States.

| HYANNIS PORT, Mass
July % (AP).-President Ken.
nedy. acting nothing like /,
man with a tender back, per,
sonally skippered his sailboa
today on the wind-tossed wa,
ters of Nantucket Sound.
Mr.. Kennedy's trick at tn,
tiller and on the lines of tht
mainsail marked the first tint
| he is known to have saileC
since the summer of 1860.
He may have taken the %.
foot Victura out earlier thiI
seaSon-others in the family
have been using the sloop-but
if so, no outsiders were aware
Of it.
For a little more than hall
an hour, the Chief Executive
and his crew sailed the Vic.
tura in a spanking Southwestern
AS she skinned by the rocs
breakwater off the Kennedys
shorefront reservation, the trim
sloop heeled so far to starboard
she was running on her side
At the time, Mr.. Kennedy was
handling a line and ballasting
with four companions on the
opposite edge Of the craft.
Mr.. Kennedy, in a grayish
sweater, was at the tiller when
the Victura left the family
dock and nosed into the sound.
He apparently switched places
with a younger sailing mate as
the Victura turned back after
venturing past an abandoned
harbor light called Spindlerock
and leaving shore a mile be-
hind.
The water was bouncy,
whipped up by 25-mile winds,
but the Victura's crew had her
well in hand.
Her sails were full as she cut
through the chop, listing hard
and spraying the crew, but
making good time.
After depositing three hands
back at the pier, the Victura
went out again for a few min
utes with the President, his
youngest brother, Edward M.
(Ted) Kennedy. and one other
aboard. This time the Chief
Executive handled the main
sail. He helped furl that can
vas and the jib of the Genoa
rigged boat as it finally put
to shore.
NewSmen in a charter boat
nearby were unable to identify
other members of the party.
They were drawn, however,
from a small throng of Ken
nedys gathered here to cele-
brate Mrs. Kennedy's 33rd
birthday.
The First Lady tried a bit
Of water skiing but took a spill
while speeding out into heavier
waters from a sheltered creek
and decided that was enough

Dental yacht, Patrick j., for a

inquiry in which:
/. An Estes associate said
some employees of lending COM
panies who say they were
bilked by Estes knew Estes was
selling bogus mortgages.
2. Estes persuaded one lend
ing company to approve some
of his mortgages by requiring
two of the firms employees to
listen to an hour-long Estes
church sermon played on a
tape recorder.
The inquiry, scheduled to end
last night, was extended to per-
nit Texas Attorney General
Will Wilson to probe deeper.
He was absent the first two
days because of the death of his
father. The hearing was re-
cesSed after today's testimony.
Promote Politicians
Estes kept telling me I
should become acquainted with
influential people like Mr.. Var
borough" testified Coleman D.
McSpadden, an Estes associate,
who earlier pleaded guilty to
Federal charges of fraud.
McSpadden quoted Estes as
saying that he had spent $40,-
900 on his (Mr. Yarborough's)
last campaign" The witness
did not further identify Var
borough.
Senator Ralph Marlborough,
Democrat Of Texas, has said he
received $1,70O from Estes to
help pay for the Senator's
weekly radio broadcasts to
Texas constituents. An aide to
Senator Yarbrough said at the
time that the Senator also had
received "a few thousand dol
lars" of campaign contribu-
tons from Estes.
McSpadden yesterday said
Estes told him he was giving
an interest in a grain elevator
to Vice President Johnson. He
added quickly that he doubted
Estes ever really planned to
give a share to Mr.. johnson.
Denied by Johnson
An aide to Mr.. johnson said
neither Mr.. Johnson nor his
family ever had any business
dealings with Estes.
McSpadden reviewed yester-
days testimony that Estes
boasted he could stop an FBI
probe. and Attorney General
Wilson asked if Estes said any
thing else on the matter.
HE said, I've got to start
going to Washington. 1 believe
] can do a better job there than
Commercial Solvents has"
Commercial Solvents is a New
York firm which supplied Estes
with fertilizer for his extensive
retail sales.
Harold Orr returned to the
stand. Orr, McSpadden and
Ruel Alexander pleaded guilty
Evening star., 1962-07-29

to a Federal fraud indictment
to which Estes pleaded inno-
cent. The three Estes asso-
ciates await sentencing.
Orr declared that at least
some. of the lending companies
who say they have been hilked
of from $22 to $24 million by
Estes by purchasing mortgages
on which the collateral is nom
existent knew the mortgages
were fake.
Backers Named
Orr named Richard Crane of
Pacific Finance, Los Angeles,
and said Mr.. Crane brought
up Estes and said he knew
about some bogus pump irriga-
ton paper that Associated In
vestmets got stuck with for
about SIS million"
The witness said Mr.. Crane
knew about this because his
company had been talking
about a possible merger with
Associated Investments
Orr also said Richard Rum
berger and Chuck Lloyd of the
Pioneer Finance Co. of Detroit
were among those who knew
some of the mortgages actually
had no collateral.
Orr said at one time he dis
cuSsed interest rates with Jim
Turriff and William King Of
CIT Corp, a financing firm. He
said they told him the discount
on the purchase of Estes mort
cages was computed at 6 to 8
per cent plus the interest quoted
in the mortgages.
"The effect was to make the
interest run up to so to 10 per
cent over the life Of the NOR
tgage," said Orr.

Frank W. Broden Dies;
Circus Press Agent

Frank w. Braden, the press
agent who planted q circus
midget in ]. P. Morgan's lap,
died last night in Providence,

Mr.. Braden. 70, for years a

worked as a press agent for
the movies, including the circus
story. "Trapeze."
1t was during Senate Bank
ing Committee hearings here in
1888 that Mr.. Braden staged
his greatest stunt. The un-
pleasant facts had just come
out that Morgan & Co. and its
partners had not paid income
taxes during 1880 and 1881,
years during which. they had
sold stock at great losses.
Someone suggested that the
hearing was becoming a circus
Mr.. Braden was inspired. He
strode down the aisle of the
hearing chamber towing a
female midget, Miss Lya Graf
Shakes Midget's Hand
Mr.. Morgan shook hands with
the tiny lady, evidently from a
sitting position. AS he did, Mr.,
Braden lifted her onto Mr.
Morgan's lap.
For a moment, the multi
millionaire was visibly annoyed
Spectators roared, and flash
