A 42-year-old woman, who

Washington apartment today,
collapsed while she was telling
police about it at the 18th

The woman, who screamed

she had had q heart attack.
She was taken to Providence

Bar Association
Backs BuIIot for
Transient Voters

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. II
(AP). - The American Bar
Assoc. authorized its Board OF
Governors yesterday to approve
a proposed uniform law for the
so States allowing voters NOV
ing from one State to another
to cast their ballots in presi-
Dental elections.
The authorization was voted
by the House of Delegates after
its final session of the 85th
national convention here was
tangled in parliamentary knots
over the issue.
The problem was that q
majority of delegates wanted
to postpone action until the
February meeting of the house
in New Orleans on a volumin-
GUS report by the Conference
of Commissioners of Uniform
State Laws.
Walter P. Armstrong, jr. OF
Memphis, conference president,
urged immediate action on the
election law revision. He argued
that Legislatures must act in
their 1868 sessions to modify
present residence requirements
in time for the 1864 national
election.
John c. Satterfield of Yazoo
City, Miss, outgoing president,
solved the tangle with a motion
proposing authorization for the
Board of Governors to act on
the election proposals alone.

Ten new astropauts - the
pick of a crop Of 200 candidates
will join the United States
space team September /.
James E. Webb, chief of the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, told a Senate
Appropriations subcommittee
yesterday that only 80 candi-
dates are still in the running.
From these will come the 10
future Spacemen who will join
the seven present astronadts.
The II astronauts, he said,
will be enough for planned
space flights within the next
year-primarily the two-man
Gemini program.
The Gemini flights are
planned to put men in orbit
for one to two weeks and to
rendezvous with another space
craft in orbit.
These experiments, said Mr..
Webb. are preliminary to the
three-man Apollo moonshot
which he estimated would be
attempted about 1868.
What comes after the moon
shot? asked Senator Allott, Re-
publican, of Colorado.
Too early to say, replied Mr..
Webb, because there are too
many unanswered questions
about the hazards of space.
Mr.. Webb estimated that the
moonshot program will cost
about $40 billion in the next
10 years. And SIS billion more
will be needed for other re-
search, including development
of weather and communica-
tons satellites, he said.

April because Mr.. Frondizi had
permitted Peronists to run in

they had scored sweeping VIC

At the military's insistence,
President Guido nullified the

The moves broke the army
up into several factions. One

as unconstitutional. Another

Rival army factions came

Shooting was aveited and
both men resigned. But the

speculate that the Kremlin

There was also speculation
there had been SetbackS in the

The White House announced

advisers, that Mr.. Kennedy
would make a radio-television

Monday at Z pm. (EDT).
White House sources said
that, by Monday night, the

Key Support Necessary
Emergency tax cuts never
had a chance for easy passage
through Congress so late in
the session unless key members
could be persuaded that the
economy unquestionably was at
the brink of a recession.
Committee hearings have
failed to dispel congressional
skepticism. And July statistics
generally showed some modest
economic gains, although these
improvements were not great
enough to indicate any reversal
of the economy's showdown.
The President and his adj

Plea toFaVor
Estes Denied
AT Hedring
By the Associated Press


no request for favoritism for
fellow Texan Billie Sol Estes
at a Department Of Agriculture
hearing last January, a depart
ment official has testified.
John Bagwell, chief counsel
OF the department, told the
Senate investigations Subcom-
mittee yesterday that Senator
Marlborough and Representa-
tive Rutherford, both Texas
Democrats. did not ask for
any favoritism" for Estes at
the January 6 hearing. At the
meeting the department re-
scinded an order canceling the
Pecos (TexD financier's 1861
cotton allotments. The can
collation. was reinstated in Nav
and Estes was fined 1854, 900.
Not Told of Threats
Mr.. Bagwell also told the sub
committee before it recessed
until next Tuesday that he was
not informed that Estes re-
portedly threatened the Ken
nedy administration unless the
department quit investigating
his allotments. II he had
known, Mr.. Bagwell said, he
would have opposed resembling
the cancellation order.
Mr.. Bagwell had testified pre-
viouSly that the January 6
meeting was requested by Mr..
Rutherford and that the Con-
gresham claimed the depart
ment was "crucifying" Estes in
canceling his cotton acreage al
lotments.
Estes System Outlined
Mr.. Rutherford said in a
statement that he used the
word "crucifying" because that
is how Estes attorney had ex-
planned it to him. Senator
Marlborough has said he sat in
on the meeting to ensure fair
treatment for Estes and the
government.
Testimony before the COM
mittee has been that Estes sold
Texas land to farmers in other
States who had lost their land
to public improvements. Then
he leased back the land, along
with the farmers transferable
cotton growing allotment.
The department contended
Estes was not making bona
fide sales of his land and ruled
against the allotment deals.
Mr.. Bagwell said he felt the
deals were illegal, but favored
resembling the order to give
Estes a chance to prove other
wise. He said the Government
stood to lose nothing and that
a delay would show the Govern
ment's good faith and strength
en- its hand if Estes went to
court over the matter.
Time Limit Needed
But, he conceded, the de-
partment should have set some
sort Of time limit for Estes to
prove the deals were legal.
And. he said, he'd have voted
against the concession if hi
had known at the time thai
Estes was threatening to re-
taliate against the administra-
ton for the investigation.
The subcommittee has been
told that Estes made the threat
to Wilson Tucker. a depart
ment employe.
Mr.. Bagwell also vigorously
denied the contention of SEN
ator Muskie, Democrat, of
Maine, that the arrest of Estes
last March by Texas authori-
ties on fraud charges stemming
from his liquid fertilizer opera
tions had forced the depart
ment to cancel the allotments.
