Grand Jury Sets Cotton Tip Probe
The justice department says a grand jury will probe an alleged leak of secret cotton market information from the agriculture department. The hearings by the Senate agriculture committee led to the resignation of Clovis D. Walker on May 5 as director of the cotton branch. Walker denied wrongdoing, saying he resigned to spare the agency embarrassment. The committee report cited Louisy Mansour, an Egyptian cotton dealer and Walker confidant, as having access to valuable buying plans before others in the trade were informed. Mansour is said to have sold about 37 million dollars worth of U.S. government cotton for military stockpiling in Egypt.
