Farm Groups Oppose Wheal For Russia WASHINGTON (UPI) — The American Farm Bureau Federation and the National Grange, the nation’s two largest farm organizations, said today they were op]x>sed at present to exports of government-subsidized wheat to the Soviet Union. Spokesmen for the two groups added, however, that the issue of possible wheat sales to Russia will be reviewed by Farm Bureau and Grange members this fall. Under present regulations, exports of subsidized crops to Russia is not permitted. And, at present, all wheat exports are subsidized with government payments covering the gap between the American support price and the lower world market -price. Russia’s recent purchases of wheat from Canada and Australia have produced speculation about possible sales of American wheat to the Soviet Union. Some congressmen from wheat states have called for a change in government policy to allow for such sales at the same subsidized export price used on all foreign sales of American wheat. Administration farm officials said that no wheat sales proposals had been received from the Soviet Union. But there have been rumofs of feelers in private trade circles. In a related development, the State Department disclosed Friday that Poland has expressed interest in entering into a new agreement for purchase of U. S. wheat. Last year Poland imported approximately 2.5 million tons of grain, about 1 million tons of it from the United States, and Polish sources have indicated the country’s annual grain deficit is still about the same. Poland and Yugoslavia are exempt from the U. S. wheat export restrictions tnat apply to other Soviet block fictions. *.;■ >

Negro Youth Tells Os Brother's Death t BIRMINGHAM, Ala (UPD - Two Eagle Scouts listened to i saddened Negro youth tell Jijudg i Friday they fatally shot his IS year-old brother without provoca tion during Sunday’s racial vio lence. » Larry Joe Sims and Michae (Mikel 1 Lee Farley. - both 16 were held tor the grand jury without bond. Hie maximum penalty in capital cases in Alabama is death. The white youths have signed confessions in the case. James Ware, 16. testified Sims fired two pistol shots from a motor scooter driven by Farley. Ware said his younger brother, Virgil, was struck by the bullets and died minutes later. Ware told the court he was pedaling his bicycle toward home and Birgil was riding on the handle bars when Sims fired. When Jefferson County Criminal Court Judge Ellis Watson announced ‘ following a preliminary hearing that the two crew - cut 1 youths would be denied bond, their mothers broke into sobs. Farley slumped in his chair at the counsel table and Sims buried his head in his arms. Both cried softly. Mrs. Ixirene Ware sat stolidly throughout the four-hour hearing and later described it as ‘‘fair.’.’. About 50 whites, including relatives and friends of the defendants, and about a dozen Negroes were in the half-filled courtroom.

Fischer Quints End Second Week Os Life ABERDEEN, S. D. (UPI) — The Fischer quintuplets entered their second week of life today, probably smaller than when they were born, but doing fine. The lone boy, James Andrew, is the biggest, hungriest and most active of the quints — just as he has been since the famous five made their appearance in predawn hours last Saturday and captured the. attention of the world. Dr. James N. Berbos, 40, the general practioner who delivered them, finally weighed the tots Friday. In order of brith, they weighed: Mary Ann. 2 pounds 8 ounces; Mary Magdalene, 3 pounds; Mary Catherine, 3 pounds; James Andrew, 3 pounds 13 ounces, and Mary Margaret, 3 pounds 5 bunches. Berbos paid them another visit al St. Luke’s Hospital just before midnight Friday night and announced: "The babies are doing fine.” He increased their formula again, with James Andrew getting twice* the increase alloted to the other four. With an increase of 2 cubic centimeters, James Andrew is getting 14 ccs, more than three teaspoonsful, of the artificial milk formula every two hours. There are 44 ccs in a teaspoon. “The boy turned sideways several times today, propelling himself with his legs," Berbos said. "Each of the girls got an increase of 1 cc. This gave three of the girls 10 ccs every two hours, and the smallest, Mary Ann, 9 ccs.” Their mother, Mrs. Mary Ann Fischer, 30. will go home from the hospital Monday. Actually, she was ready physically to return to the Fischers’ ten-room farm house just outside Aberdeen a couple days ago. but she stayed on, ap- ■ patently to avoid a little while longer the excitement that will surround her homegoing. The father, Andrew, 38. drank n beer with friends in a restaurant on Aberdeen's main Street Friday night — the first time he I has been seen out in the evening — I since the premature babies were a \ born in the relatively short time ge last Saturday of 1:58 a.m. to 301 3- a.m. aOfficers Os Border Patrol Leave City v Ten officers of a border patrol i. from the western states left town a today after spending several days t> in this city. The patrolmen stayed at the s Shady Lawn Motel on 13th street - while here. They reportedly had .. made numerous-arrests in the past . j few days of persons who had il- : legally entered this country. Most of the arrests were made at the i Bluffton street fair. ——.
