By the Assoclated Press. Charges of widespread violations of law in the Alabama Senatorial elec- tion last November were made to the day by committee agents in published documents. ‘The ballots were impounded by the committee as a result of the contest filed by former Senator J. Thomas Heflin against the election of Senator John H. Bankhead. Chairman Hastings sald the committee would begin its recount tomorrow. F. H. Creech, the agent charged with impounding ballots in 17 of Alabama's 67 counties, reported that some boxes in_all 17 counties had been opened, “placing the whole procedure under suspicion.” ‘The agent said the officials who de- | killed, stroyed “the ballots in Henry and Houston Counties claimed they had done s0 because they believed it Le to legal, but he reported he was “im- pressed with the belief that the de- struction of records” in Houston County “was deliberate and done for the pur- pose of impeding any investigation the ?ennw might care to make in the mat- ex.” ‘The committee's other agents also reported irregularities in the care of the ballot boxes, but Creech’s report was the most definite. Creech reported the universal ex- planation for the opening of the ballot boxes was that it was necessary to ob- tain the certificates of the results. He said former Sheriff Rollins of Houston County explained he had ordered the ballots under his care burned because he had read in a newspaper it was legal to do so 30 days after the election. ‘The sheriff, Creech said, claimed he did not know the Senate was interested in the ballots or that a contest was pending. ‘The committee agent said he had found State records showing 543 dis- qualified voters, who had not paid their poll tax, had been certified to the list of qualified voters and that 336 qualified names had not been certified. - He estimated that out of a total vote of 4,215 these two items alone could have effected the county vote to the extent of 900 votes.
