Witness details grain storage and Estes fraud case
Estes was the target of fraud indictments as hearings began on the West Texas financier. Ballou testified that vast grain storage expansion in West Texas served grain sorghum needs pre 1961 and that grain moved via Gulf ports to be stored en route. He cited $7.65 million paid to Estes for grain storage with $2.4 million in 1960 and another $2.4 million possibly paid in 1961. The subcommittee planned to call many Agriculture Department officials including Secretary Freeman.
