has held that the aIlotments
had been obtained by Estes in
an illegal manner from farmers
who had been pushed off their.
farms by Government agencies
under the right Of eminent
domain. Tt
In Better Position
He contended, however, that
the department will be in a
much firmer position when the
cancellation Of the cotton al
lotments Is fought out in the
court because the department
can show that it bent over
backward to give Estes and
other recipients Of the allot-
ments every opportunity to
prove the allotments were
proper before the department
Cancelled them.
Estes, at 81, had built q West
Texas business empire involv-
ing huge cotton holdings and
storage of Government grain.
Last month, he was indicted
by a Federal grand jury on
charges Of fraud which al
legged he sold chattel mort
cages on non-existent fertilizer
tanks.
Much Of the conference CEN
tered on the Estes cotton allot-
ments. These allotments had
been leased by Estes from farm
ers to whom he claimed to
have sold farms after they had
lost their original land under
Government purchases. A de-
partment investigation last fall
led to an opinion by the de-
partment general counsel that
the Estes cotton plan was not
a bona fide sale Of farms, but
a scheme to acquire allotments
in violation Of law.
"I wish to emphasize that
the Government hasn't lost q
dime-not a single dime to
Estes" he said. This cannot
be said for some Of the big fl
nance companies which ap-
parently have lost millions to
Estes. The department could
have come out much worse"
Asked If he knew Estes him
self, the Secretary replied that
as he recalled, he met Estes
outside his door once when
Estes and a lawyer came to
ltaK about the cotton allot-
sments,
"I might recognize him from
his picture" he said with q

Calls Unity Watchword
Mr.. Adenauer said that East
West exchanges over Berlin
could go on for two or three
years without result. In this
case the Vests watchword
must be Ito be very careful and
remain united"
There is no question Of the
West accepting Soviet demands
that Western troops quit Berlin
and President ed US
pledge to defend Berlin's free
dom is quite clear" he said.
Mr.. Adenauer said the policy
of the East is based on the be-
lief that Western unity could
be broken. Therefore, he said,
the most important result" Of
the Atlantic Alliance ministers
meeting in Athens was the
unity displayed.
The German Embassy in
Washington said it knew moth
ing about reports that Chan
cellor Adenauer is recalling
Ambassador Grewe.
The Ambassador, however,
has been rumored to be un-
happy for some time since the
Kennedy administration has
been handling its West German
affairs in Bonn with Foreign
Minister Schroeder rather than
IN Washington with Ambassa-
dor Grewe.
Before Mr.. Schroeder re-

SIMPLE RITES FOR A SIMPLE MAN
March to Grave Marks
Tribute to Thoreou

CONCORD, Mass, May
tAP).-A flutist led a process
sion Of 200 children and adults
carrying wild flowers to the
grave Of Henry D. Thoreau
yesterday in Sleepy Hollow
Cemetery.
The tribute marked the Tooth
anniversary Of the death of the
author and naturalist whose
writings were largely ignored
in his own day.
Ellen Emerson Of Concord
High School read excerpts
from the funeral Grafton of her
great great grandfather-Ralph
Waldo Emerson - delivered at
the death of Thoreau, his
friend and fellow townsman.
Robert F. Needham of Con-
cord, a director of the world
wide Thoreau Societys led the
procession to the cemetery
through the streets of this
village west Of Boston.
At the same time the cere-
mony was being held here q
bust Of Thoreau was unveiled
in the Hall Of Fame at New
York University.
Plan Abandoned
Original plans to have ! q
horse-drswn carriage lead the
procession fell through be-
cause townspeople could not
find q horse trained to pun a
wagon.
Mr.. Needham acknowledged
that lovers Of Thoreau were
proud he had been honored
but said, I'VE doubt if Henry
would have been much en-
amored Of the great to-do
going on down there today"

Thoreau's most characteristic
message repeated many times
in his most famous work,
Walden" was that man
should simplify his life and
not be bowed down by posses
SionS.
He chose to live more than
two years in a tiny hut on the
shore of Walden Pond, east Of
the village here, demonstrating
his belief in the simple life.
The procession started at the
73 Maine street home where
Thoreau died May 6. 1862.
At the cemetery, Harry Gatos
of Lexington, an amateur
flutist, played a Debussy tune
reminiscent of the Greek God
Pan. Thoreau was known for
his flute playing in the wood
lands and in a rowboat on the
concord River.
Reputation Grows
Thoreau's reputation as a
writer and philosopher has
grown with the years. Mo-
handas K. Gandhi said inspira-
ton for his passive resistance
movement that eventually
gained independence for India
came from reading Thoreau,s
essay civil Disobedience. T"
Thoreau wrote the work after
spending a night in jail for not
paying his poll tax ito q state
that tolerated slavery"
The British Labor Party Of
a half-century ago. and more
recently. persons opposing seq
regation with sit-ins, freedom
rides and passive resistance in
the South, say they also were
inspired by Thoreau.
