S&L official pleads guilty
to 2 counts of bank-fraud
are invoh
HOUSTON (AP) — In a coup
that could crack major bank-fraud
cases, Herman K. Beebe Sr. has
pleaded guilty to fraud charges in
Texas and Louisiana and agreed to
cooperate with an ongoing federal
investigation, officials said.
In return for cooperating in crim
inal probes of banks and savings and
loans in the Northern District of
Texas and elsewhere, Beebe will not
be prosecuted for any bank or thrift
fraud now under investigation, the
Houston Post reported Tuesday.
U.S. District Judge John M. Shaw
of Louisiana sentenced Beebe Friday
to a year and a day in prison after
Beebe pleaded guilty to two counts
of bank fraud. He is scheduled to
enter a penitentiary, possibly in Fort
Worth, at the end of June.
Beebe pleaded guilty to a wire
fraud charge from the Northern
District of Texas involving a $4 mil
lion loan from State Savings in Lub
bock to Beebe associates and a con
spiracy charge for arranging a
$860,000 loan from City Savings
Bank and Trust Co. in DeRidder,
La., to associates.
“We are pleased with the plea,"
said Ed Tomko, with the fraud divi
sion of the U.S. Justice Department
in Washington.
Beebe is regarded as a central fig
ure in a large number of S&L fail
ures in Texas, although his attorney,
James Adams of Shreveport, La.,
said he and government attorneys
had agreed not to discuss the plea
bargain.
“I’ve got an agreeent with the U.S.
attorneys that we will not discuss the
plea bargain,” Adams said Tuesday.
“But I can tell you that, yes, he’s
going to cooperate with the investi
gation.”
Adams said Beebe will not go into
a federal witness-protection pro
gram.

Oil company founder
steps down from post
FORT WORTH (AP) — Western
Co. of North America’s founder
stepped down as the oil-field services
company announced a Chapter 11
reorganization plan that could pull it
out of bankruptcy during the fourth
quarter.
The company’s annual meeting
Monday was the last for founder
H.E. “Eddie” Chiles as chairman.
After an emotional invocation by his
wife, Fran, the Texas Rangers ma
jority owner said he was stepping
down and that he probably should
have done it sooner.
“If I’d done it about 1983, I could
have quit while I was winning,” he
said. “I thought the (oil) boom was
going to continue forever.”
Western Co.’s new chairman,
Sheldon Erikson, said shareholders
will be left with only a small piece of
the company when it emerges from
bankruptcy. He said lenders could
receive more than 90 percent of
Western’s stock in exchange for a
large part of the company’s $563
million debt.
“Most of the equity will go to cred
itors,” said Erikson, who had been
the company’s president and chief
executive officer.
He succeeds Chiles, who was
named chairman emeritus and will
continue to serve through the expi
ration of his term as director in May
1990.
A reorganization plan patterned
on that of Houston-based Global
Marine Inc. would give the holder of
100 shares of the present Western
Co. about 2'/a shares of the reorga
nized company, officials said.
Details are being worked out and
it is too early to speculate on a final
plan, Erikson said. The plan would
give creditors 97.5 percent of exist
ing shareholder equity, he said.
Of the reorganization plan, Erik
son said after the meeting, “It’s
going to mean a dilution in own
ership, but probably an enhance
ment in value for those sharehold
ers.”
“They’ll have a dilution in voting
power, but they’ll come out with a
positive net worth,” Erikson said.
Sam R. Morrow, Western’s chief
financial officer, told shareholders
the company’s $553 million debt
couldn’t be paid off without lenders
taking stock in the company.
The $553 million includes se
cured, unsecured and subordinated
debt, but excludes interest, which
the company said is substantial. As
of March 31, Western had a negative
net worth of $282.3 million.
“Unfortunately, if you look at the
prospects for this industry and this
company, we will never, never pay
off that level of debt,” Morrow said.
While the shareholders will be
asked to give up most of their voting
rights to the creditors, Morrow and
Erikson both told of progress in
making the company profitable.
Western’s land-based oilfield serv
ices now are profitable, and the com
pany’s offshore drilling operations
have a positive cash flow, the officers
said in a separate report.
Chiles formally agreed to step
down as Western Co. chairman in a
letter dated Feb. 1.
