Ralph Tells WASHINGTON and Estes money orders in Congress
Former assistant secretary of agriculture James T. Ralph testified he received two $100 money orders from Billie Estes last January and his aide William E. Morris got two more. Republican counsel Robert Manuel charged that others including some Congress members and a high ranking official also received such money orders. Manuel said Morris has a list of recipients and claimed the subcommittee’s probe is being distorted. Ralph said the orders were tied to Kennedy inaugural anniversary dinner tickets via Estes. In Baton Rouge, Hal S. Phillips was elected chairman of the state mineral board amid tidelands dispute fallout. Morgan Walker Sr. named vice chairman. The board approved escrow funds for two major oil cases, Boutte and Gounsoulin, with over $1,000,000 to be placed in escrow as heirs are determined.
