General Pattern
Estes is being ordered to trial
on four indictments returned
by the Reeves County Grand
Jury at Pecos. They charge,
in common with some Federal
indictments, that this was the
general pattern:
Estes, pleading his personal
credit was overtaxed, induced
farmers to sign notes for the
purchase of anhydrous ammo
MIA fertilizer tanks - usually
many more than they could
possibly use. In return they
received a 10 per cent bonus
on the amount Of money in
volved.
1t was agreed that Estes
would lease the tanks and pay
rentals which matched install
ments as they fell due on the
tanks, most Of which never
existed.
Estes or his agents then sold
the worthless tank mortgages
to various finance companies

Western Europe-long a great

and civilization-will become a
backwater and all the impor-

Mr.. Macmillan developed this
argument at the now-conclud-

Whatever else that confer
