Court Probe Into Land Deals Starts
A court of inquiry opened in Austin before Peace Justice Travis Blakeslee to investigate General Land Office affairs. Gov Allan Shivers and Land Commissioner J Earl Rudder joined in seeking the inquiry. The probe, led by Special Asst. Atty. Gen. Cecil Burney, may last six to eight weeks and aims to preserve testimony in records. The veterans land scandal involves former Commissioner Bascom Giles, indicted on conspiracy and bribery charges, while the state won a civil suit over a 1958 Zavala County deal in which Sam Ward of Crystal City faced restitution of 33000 with no criminal allegations. Ward testified he relied on his attorneys for the transaction and that veterans were paid 300 each for their rights.
