Estes Storm Hits Kennedy Administration in Drug Fire
Lightning from the Billie Sol Estes storm strikes high in the Kennedy administration as Assistant Secretary of Labor Jerry R. Holleman resigns after admitting he accepted a $1,000 gift from Estes. The Texas financier’s alleged schemes involving farm programs and officials are under review by two congressional committees and four grand juries in Texas. Holleman, a 43 year old minor official, says the gift was personal and unrelated to Estes interests. Goldberg accepts the resignation, while Estes pursues a huge but controversial empire built on liquid fertilizer sales, grain payments, cotton allotments and mortgages on nonexistent tanks. Holleman says he acted before knowing Estes’ full involvement.
