French Dive
6 Miles Into
Ocean Deep

TOKYO, July 16 (AP).-Two
French deep sea explorers rode
a bathyscapth nearly six miles
down into the Kurile-Kam-
.chatka trench yesterday in the
second deepest plunge made by
man. They reported finding
intensive life" during their
three-hour stay on the bottom.
French Comdr. Georges
Houot and Navy Engineer Pierre
Henri Willm made the near
record dive of 1880 feet in
their third descent off Japan in
the French bathyscaph Archi-
EIDE, which Mr.. Willm designed.
The latest dive was 100 miles
south of Urup Island in the
Kuriles chain east of Japan's
northernmost island of Hok-
kaido.
The French Embassy said the
powerfully reinforced under
seas craft went down at A de-
grees 9 minutes North latitude
and $50 degrees Is minutes
East longitude.
The depth was second only
to that reached by United
States Navy 1t. Don Walsh
and Jacques Picard, of the
famous Swiss scientist family,
in the Navy bathyscaph Trieste
January %, 1860, in the Ma
rianas trench off Guam.
1t. Walsh and Mr.. Picard,
who reached $1,000 feet and
remained one-half hour, also
reported seeing living and NOV
ing objects near the bottom
of the deepest known hole on
earth. The two deepest dives
were farther below the surface
than the worlds highest noun
tain is above it. Mt. Everest in
the Himalayas is slightly more
than $4,000 feet.

An Agriculture Department
official testified today that
about a week after he was told
by one of the departments in
vestigative units there was no
cause for alarm about Billie
Sol Estes, "the lid blew"
The testimony came from
Dabney Towsend, acting chief
of the United States Warehouse
Branch, as a Government OPP
erations subcommittee resumed
its inquiry into the indicted
Pecos (Tex) operators grain
storage dealings.
Mr.. Townsend, whose office
passed on the disputed $780,
900 bond required of Estes for
his grain operations, said he
received a call about mid
Of this year from Stan
ley Mcmahon of the Agricul-
tural Sterilization Service.
He said Mr.. Mcmahon told
him he had received some
newspaper clippings which did
not mention Estes by name but
which, it was felt, referred to
the Pecos wheeler and dealer.
He suggested reviewing the fl
nancial information regarding
Estes in Mr.. Townsend's office.
Called Audit Office
Mr.. Townsend testified he
found that the information was
in the Internal Audit Office of
the Agriculture Marketing Serv-
ice.
The witness testified that he
called Charles G. Cleveland,
chief investigator of the audit
office. about the matter.
According to Mr.. Townsend,
Mr.. Cleveland said an investi-
cation was underway but that
no report had been prepared
since his office was swamped
with work. The witness said
Evening star., 1962-07-16
Official Says Agency Saw
No Hint of Estes Scandal

Mr.. Cleveland did not think
there was any reason for alarm.
"It was about a week later
that the lid blew" Mr.. Town
send said.
He referred to the arrest Of
Estes by the FBI on charges of
transporting bogus mortgages
from one State to another. The
arrest signaled the collapse of
Billie Sol Estes multi-million
dollar agricultural empire and
lied to widespread investigations
by Government agencies and
congressional committees.
Separate Probe
Mr.. Cleveland and Donald A.
Russell, director of the Market
ing Service Audit Division, were
other witnesses called by the
subcommittee headed by Repre-
sentative Fountain, Democrat
of North Carolina.
Mr.. Fountain brought out
that the investigation referred
to was started in September,
1861. It was a separate investi-
cation from one that had been
started in July, 1861, into the
Estes cotton allotment deals.
Mr.. Townsend testified that
he did not follow up his request
to Mr.. Cleveland. He said he
could not make an excuse for
this except that there was no
occasion for a followup.
In this connection, the wit
ness pointed out that a check
had been made of the PecoS
operators warehouse facilities
sometime previously and no
basis was found for rumors that
Estes affairs were in bad
shape.
Mr.. Townsend also testified
that Estes received no favored
treatment on the bond required
for his grains storage opera
tionS.

zorin Rejects
u. 5. A-PIan
In Advance
Tells Newsmen
Vests Shift Is
No Compromise

GENEVA, July 16 CAP).-So-
Wet Deputy Foreign Minister
Valerian Zorin rejected in ad-
vance today an American COM
promise designed to reach a
nuclear test ban treaty soon.
Mr.. Zorin was asked in a
news conference If the Soviet
Union would be willing to ac-
cept international inspections
on its territory, If the United
States and Britain drop their
proposal for internationally
stated seismic detection sta
tions inside Russia.
He said the western plan was
mo compromise at all in our
view"
United States Ambassador
Arthur H. Dean said on his ar
rival Saturday that the western
powers are ready to make this
compromise to help get a treaty,
but would insist that the ac-
cord provide for international
inspection of the site Of a sus-
picious event detected on Soviet
soil.
The new western idea has
not yet been raised in the dis
armament talks, which resumed
today after a month-long re-
cess.
Cites Neutrals' Plan
Mr.. Zorin said the Soviet
Union has already made its own
compromise by accepting as a
negotiating basis a neutralist
proposal providing for on-site
inspections only by invitation
of the country where the sus-
picious event took place.
I'VE are prepared to con-
clude a test ban treaty on the
basis Of the neutralists pro-
posal. and on no other basis, "
Mr.. zorin added.
The Soviet stand came as
the delegates set in an atmos-
phere notable for q lack of ex-
preston of optimism. Only
Mr.. Dean was optimistic
enough to say that there was
a better chance now for a test
ban treaty. But that was be-
fore Mr.. Zorin talked with re-
porters.
The second phase of negotia-
tionS for a disarmament treaty
is expected to center on details
and technical discussions of
the rival United States and
Soviet plans.
Made Little Headway
The first three-month phase
Of the conference made little
headway. It was devoted
mostly to lengthy speeches and
explanations of policy. The
only step forward was the
adoption of treaty preamble IN
general terms.
British Minister Of State
Joseph B. Godber sidestepped
comment on the nuclear issue.
The New York Times said
the United States and its allies
are willing to agree to a cut
off date for nuclear weapon
tests that would allow the
Soviet Union to conduct the
last series of tests. January l,
1868, is the date being dis
cussed, the Times said.
