Estes Hit With 554162 Fine By Agriculture Dept
Agriculture Department ordered Texas financier Billie Sol Estes to pay a 554 162 fine for violating cotton planting rules. The action follows a ruling that Estes, under indictment in Texas on fraud charges, illegally bought cotton acreage allotments. He may appeal to a Texas farmer review panel and to state and federal courts. Freeman noted a department official involved in Estes grain storage may be transferred, though no wrongdoing is alleged. The transfer stemmed from review of a 1961 financial report to justify keeping the 700 000 bond on Estes warehouses. Freeman said the reviewer was not a certified accountant and a CPA should handle the job.
