Two Agriculture Department
employees in Oklahoma ad-
mitted before Senate investi-
gators today they had received
81 ,640.80 for helping Billie Sol
Estes obtain cotton acreage al
lotments in that State.
In testimony before the Sen
ate subcommittee inveStigat-
ing the Estes scandal, the two
officials repudiated affidavits
they had previously given de-
nying they had received pay
ments of any kind from the
PecoS (TexD operator or any
of his representatives.
The employees are Louis N.
Dumas, county manager, and
Arthur Stone. performance
supervisor of the agricultural
office of Mcintosh County, To-
Gated at Eufaula. Okla.
Money Traced
The two men admitted re-
ceiving the payments after
Senate investigators traced the
money to them through a
scrubbed notation found with a
check voucher in the offices of
the Billie Sol Estes Enterprises
in Pecos.
The disclosures apparently
caught the Agriculture Depart
ment by surprise. In testi-
mony before the subcommittee
yesterday Secretary of Agri-
culture Freeman said he be-
lieve6 that the FBI and other
investigations had revealed all
the Agriculture Department
officials and employees who had
received gifts or favors from
Estes,
! Three officials in the WASH
ington headquarters and five
departmental employees in the
field have been separated from
duty as a result of the Estes
affair. One other in the Wash
ington office has been repri-
manded.
Resigned Last Night
The two Oklahoma men, who
have been in Washington sew
eral days being questioned by
the Senate investigators, wrote,
out their designations and
mailed them last night to the
Agriculture Department.
They took the witness seats
after Alphonse F.. Calabrese, a
subcommittee investigator, and
Parnell E. Biggerstaff, a Bon
ham (TexD real estate man,
who formerly worked for Estes,
traced the payments to the
men.
1923 Acres Involved
Mr.. Calabrese testified that
he found a notation on a
voucher in the Estes offices
indicating payments to some
one in connection with the
cotton acreage allotment plan.

TaxCut Open
Prefers '63 SIush,
Might Act in 81
BY GARRETT d. HORNER
Star staff Writer

President Kennedy is leaving
the door open to the possibility
of a general Federal tax cut
this year although he hopes to
hold it off until 1868.
The President told a press
conference late yesterday that
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-07-06


the recommendations of the
Chamber of Commerce and Of
the AFL CLIO for immediate
tax cuts to spur the economy
should be very seriously con-
sidered" by Congress as well as
himself.
Recalling that he had plan
ned to urge a tax cut and tax
reform on Congress next year,
he said that of course he would
prefer to maintain that sched-
ule."
He added, however, that he
and his advisers are continuing
to watch basic economic indi-
Gators closely. He said that
if the economic situation war;
rants a tax cut then, of course,
we would recommend it,"
Analysis OF Economy
He m p asize d that "the
basic question will be to try to
make an a nalysis as to the
health of the economy over the
next months, and whether 1863
is the appropriate time or now. "
But for the present. he said
he is maintaining his schedule
which does not call for recon-
mending tax reductions until
next year.
Mr.. K enne dy pointed out
that several other actions de-
signed to stimulate business
are pending.
He said the Government will
announce next week a new tax
depreciation schedule, permit
ting faster write-offs on ma
chinery and plant equipment.
In addition, he said he hopes
for favorable action by Con-
greSS on legislation providing
tax credits for new investment
in plants and equipment, the
public works bill, and a meas
ure giving him discretionary
authority to cut taxes within
specified limits whenever he
decides such action is necessary
to ward off a recession.
''Not Party of Business"
Turning to political questions,
the President said he agrees
that "the Democratic Party is
not the party of business" al
though it is supported by IAN
awful lot of businessmen"
Asked if he thought former
President Eisenhower's descrip-
ton of the Republican Party as

American girls are not "the

The young men who are

In Europe apparently, it is
easy to win the which one

You can't always tell
whether a girl is Danish or

"Most popular have been the
one-day rubber boat trips from
Bluff, Utah, operated by former

a former Mancos resident, but
now spends the bulk of his time
at Bluff.

as many as eight days.
"Spurring the interest has been
the progress made toward COM

Canyon Trips Highly Beauty and Relaxation

Glen Canyon Dam, which when
impounded will form Lake Powell,
is expected to have a crest of
3,7O5 feet above sea level and
will form a lake which will back
up 1856 miles along the Colorado
River and II miles up the San
Juan River.
When fini shed the dam will rise
no feet. There will be 4,83O,OOO
cubic yards of cement in the dam
and 275, 1000 cubic yards in the
power plant.
The name Glen Canyon was
coined by Major John Wesley Pow
ell who headed the first expedition
down the Colorado River in 1869.
This was because of the oak glens
along the river banks and its trib-
utaries. The lake to be formed by
the Glen Canyon Dam will appro-
priately bear the name of Lake
Powell.
The million dollar monthly pay
roll the dam brings has trans
formed sagebrush and empty desert
land into the energetic and public
spirited town of Page, with
population of over 5000 persons.
There are So teachers in the town
TO teach in the neighborhood of
600 students, and the town comes
complete with swimming pool.
The Glen Canyon Bridge is
30 foot wide steel arch bridge and
overlooks the turbulent Colorado
River which is being directed and
controlled after countless years
Of wild rushing freedom, through
IA foot tubes, and will power eight
lis, 500 horsepower, $50 rpm,
vertical Shaft, hydraulic turbines.
The recreation potent al for this
area cannot be forecast, except
that it is expected to become one
of the major recreational attrac-
tions in the nation.
The Navajo Tribe will control
a large area of shoreline on Lake
Powell, which should prove to be
a tremendous asset in the years
ahead for the Tribe.
1t has been highly recommended
that the river trip be taken before
Lake Powell is formed, as this
@willbe an unforgettable experience,
and many of the present landmarks
will be covered with water when
the anticipated water level is
reached.
On the other hand, many at
fractions, which we're previously
inaccessible or at best extremely
difficult to reach, will be far more
accessible by water.
A prime example is Rainbow
Bridge, which is now reached
through a tortuous series of boat
rides and packing in hikes albeit
beautiful IA mile hike or ride
from Rainbow Bridge. When the
lake fills, this will be accessible
by water.
The bridge itself is one of those
spectacular works of nature-the

set in primitive and colorful sur
roundings unmatched anywhere.
Bill Boyle, writing in the Dur
