AGVA for the present and turn
tomorrow to hearings on Billie
Sol Estes, the indicted Texas
promoter.
Testified to Payment
Mr.. and Mrs. Hart testified
last week they paid Mr.. Bright
$4,000 to transfer Mr.. Hart's
AGVA assignment from Wash
ington to Miami.
Mr.. Bright denied the charge
in testimony yesterday and
raised the question Of perjury.
Senator Mcclellan agreed that
someone had lied, and asked
the Justice Department to in
vestigate the conflict of testi-
mony with perjury prosecution
IN mind.
The bribe charge and other
accusations against AGVA, Mr..
said. were largely re-
1enge moves by disgruntled
former employees who have been

ness union.

Of the Philippines in an effort
to repair United States Phil

and the angry reaction in the
Philippines. A second attempt
to get the damage claims pas
sed in the House will be made

Subcommittee Chairman Nc
Clellan recalled testimony that
Mr.. Bright ran up a bill for
$13,062 at the Concord Hotel
in the CatSkill Mountains
borScht circuit from 1859
through 1861.
Mr.. Bright said he paid
$1,718 of the bill in 1859 of
his own volition. But Senator
Mcclellan said it appeared that
Mr.. Bright paid only after he
was warned by a Labor De-
partment compliance officer
that it was illegal for him to
accept free accommodations at
hotels.

Mr.. Bright said he paid
another $4,079 to the Concord
last April IL, but denied the
Senator's suggestion that he
did so only because the Senate
investigation was under way.
Senator Mcclellan said the
Concord claims $6,039 still is
owed on Mr.. Bright's bill but
the witness insisted he owes
the hotel nothing.
Mr.. Bright said the hotel
never billed him. He said he
sent blank checks to the hotel
and asked them to fill in the
amounts.
To Take Lie Test
Earlier, Mr.. Bright had said
he will take a lie detector test
on his denial of receiving. a

JurorsReport
For Estes
Fraud Trial

PECOS, Tex, June 26 (AP)
in q move that surprised fell
low townsmen and State Off
cialS, Billie Sol Estes won i'm
mediate trial yesterday on
charges he defrauded another
farmer Of $162.144.
One of Estes lawyers, Hume
Cofer, said the defense would
show the complainant was fully
aware of the fertilizer tanks
contract involved and there was
no fraud on the part Of the 81
year-old promoter.
Twenty prospective Jurors
had been examined when Dis
trict Judge ]. H. Starley re-
ceSsed court shortly before 10
pm. (CST). fourteen others
were to report when court re-
convened today.
Smiled Slightly
During most Of the long aft
ernoon and night sessions, Estes
sat in court with his head
turned away from the prospec-
tive jurors. Occasionally he
turned to observe proceedings.
A few times he smiled slightly.
Estes was indicted April rs
by the Reeves County grand
jury on eight counts of felony
theft in the sale of anhydrous
ammonia fertilizer tanks to six
farmers. The six claimed they
were bilked of $828,576 in the
transactions.
The current trial involves
only one count, which accuses
Estes of defrauding Thomas A.
Bell of $162,144.
If convicted. Estes could be
sentenced to State prison for
three to 10 years.
Without advance notice, Estes
with his lawyers-John Cofer
and Hume Cofer Of Austin and
John Dennison Of Pecos-ap-
peared in District Court yes
terday morning and asked that
his case, 18th on the docket, be
tried Immediately. They offered
no explanation.
Complete Surprise
District Attorney r. B. Nc
Gowen informed Judge Starley:
THE State is ready. We will
not move for a delay"
Later Mr.. McGowen told re-
porterS he did not know why
Estes asked an immediate trial.
In Austin, State Attorney
General Will Wilson, who insti-
gated courts Of inquiry into
Estes far-flung operations and
has brought State antitrust
suits against him, said the re-
quest was a complete surprise.
If the trial results in acquit-
tai, the defense is expected to
ask dismissal of the other seven
counts.
There was speculation about
what bearing the request for an
immediate trial on the State
charge would have. since Estes
is also under Federal indict-
ments.

Joey Adams, president of the
American Guild of Variety
Artists, charged today that
Senate investigators have
"smeared" his unions patriotic
members by publicizing mis-
deeds of a few B-girls and
prostitutes.
"AGVA and its membership
measure up to the highest
standards of decency, morality
and patriotism" Mr.. Adams
said in testimony prepared for
the Senate Permanent Investi-
cations subcommittee. He con-
tinued:
Neither my organization nor
I can assume responsibility for
the alleged misdeeds of a very
small minority of its members. "
Mr.. Adams, a night club CO.
median, asked: Does the Con-
gress Of the United States stand
disgraced because some of its
members have been sent to
jail?"
Recites Good Deeds
Reciting the show business
unions good deeds ranging
from entertainment of troops
to support for the Boy Scouts,
Mr.. Adams said:
"All our efforts, all our pro-
grams, all of our dreams are
directed to the furthering of
liberty, the protecting of de-
mocracy, the curing if disease,
the inspiring of patriotism and
the teaching of faith"
AGVA would "mercilessly re-
ject any person who brings
discredit upon our membership"
he said, but he laid the blame
for offenses in night clubs on
lax law-enforcement agencies.
Witnesses who have testified
against AGVA, he charged,
"selfishly and vindictively used
this great Senate forum in
order to obtain for themselves
personal publicity"

British Papers
See No 1929

LONDON, May 30 (AP)-
British newspapers today coun-
seled against alarm over yes
terday's great stock market
tumble. Some writers suggested
that the shakeup could bring
a healthier economy.
The general tone of British
editorial comment was that
Wall Streets Black Monday
and the corresponding price
plunge in Europe did not por-
tend a return to 1929.
News of yesterdays spectac-
ular closing rally on Wall Street
came too late for editorial COL
umns but did appear on front
pages of later editions.
The Times Of London and
most other papers traced the
setback to President Kennedy's
clash with the steel companies
and subsequent fears of a profit
squeeze.
Warning that the stock mar
ket adjustments could level off
economic activity in America
and Europe, the Times said:
with present-day knowl-
edge of the best way to ward
off slumps and with the variety
of weapons that can be called
on by governments to stimulate
activity, there should be little
fear of worldwide stagnation
on the prewar pattern"
The real danger. said the
Times, was one of an involun-
tary depreciation of currencies
that would lead to untold re-
percusSions."
The liberal Guardian said:
Industry and investors will
have to adapt themselves to a
world in which easy profits
cannot be made from the pro-
ceeds of initiation"
