WASHINGTON UPI — Government farm officials estimate they will be ready to submit a proposed new three-year international grain trade treaty to the Senate for ratification by July or August The pact will provide an increase in minimum commercial prices for wheat moving in international trade, and it is expected to have the backing of most U.S. farm organizations. But the best thing about It, according to critics of recent federal farm policies, is the one big item which was left out of

Farm Officials Preparing New Grain Trade Treaty

the agreement

U.S. spokesmen in the recent-1 ly concluded “Kennedy round’’ of trade negotiations tried for nearly four years to get agreement on a proposed “international grains agreement” which was to include fixed importvolume agreements by the European Common Market and other importing areas. Coupled with this, the pact would have had a system for dividing the fixed market among exporting countries at any time market prices dropped to a pre-determined minimum.

LONDON UPI —- The Soviet Union was reported today to be aiming for a “package deal,” linking a Mideast peace commitment to de-escalation of the Vietnam war. Diplomatic reports said the Soviets are playing hard to get for a Joint east-west Mideast peace initiative, pointing to the American “aggression” in Vietnam as the major obstacle to cooperation. All the indications point to Moscow’s determination to exploit the current Mideast crisis to the hilt, using it for a further Soviet entrenchment in the area and as a means of diplomatic pressure on American Vietnam policy, the reports said. The Russians were said to be using the argument that the Vietnam war makes cooperation with the Americans on peace moves in the Middle East difficult, if not impossible. In Moscow British Foreign Secretary George Brown is currently seeking to win Russian cooperation for a Mideast peace initiative. Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin told him pointedly Wednesday that the solution of the world’s problems “does not depend on you and me.” In London, Communist diplomats were dropping strong hints that the Mideast crisis cannot be seen “in isolation,” and must be tackled in the light of “American aggression else-

U.S. 6th Fleet Plans Training NAPLES, Italy UPI —Seven ships of the U. S. 6th Fleet carrying a landing team of 2,000 Marines were sailing from Naples today on what a military spokesman described as “a normally scheduled training operation.” A 6th Fleet spokesman said “a reinforced battalion landing team” would carry out amphibious training operations in the Mediterranean. The spokesman declined to say where the ships were headed. The ships returned only May 17 from North Atlantic Treaty Organization NATO maneuvers and the spokesman said today’s departure was “regularly scheduled.” The 6th Fleet’s standing orders in the Mediterranean include being ready for emergency action, ranging from a show of the flag to evacuating U.S. and friendly citizens and amphibious operations. Includes previous.

where,” especially in Vietnam. Diplomatic observers cautioned that there is therefore more to the present crisis than meets the eye. They recalled that last month Soviet Party Chief Leonid L Brezhnev called at a conference of party leaders in Karlovy Vary, Czechoslovakia, for the removal of the American 6th Fleet from the Mediterranean.

Reds Manhandle British Diplomats TOKYO UPI —Two British diplomats were reportedly manhandled and coated with glue Wednesday when they were run out of Shanghai despite Red Chinese assurances of “safe conduct.” A British government spokesman in London said Peter Hewitt, the British representative in Shanghai, and an unidentified official from the British mission in Peking were attacked, kicked and covered with glue by Red Guards and workers while they were leaving for Peking at Shanghai Airport. A British Foreign Office spokesman said Hewitt had ask for and been given assurances of safe conduct from Chinese authorities. A strong British protest was expected. Peking authorities ordered Hewitt and the other official out of Shanghai within 48 hours Monday in retaliation for police breakups of Pekinginspired Communist rioting in Hong Kong that day. Hewitt’s charge d’affaires office in Shanghai had been ransacked by demonstrating Red Guards last week. That outburst was also linked to Communist demonstrations against British rule in Hong Kong.

The drive for a fixed import guarantee collapsed late in the negotiations when the Common Market refused to budget beyond a figure .which U.S. officials regarded as worse than no guarantee at all. Instead of taking the Common Market offer, U.S. officials decided to take a chance on the prospect that overseas demand for grain will continue to expand faster than European production.

As a result, the grain agreement to be signed later this year includes just two facets: —Minimum export prices are increased by 23 cents a bushel to a level about 10 cents below recent market prices. —Wealthy nations including the United States and the Common Market nations have agreed to contribute 4.5 million tons of grain per year to developing nations. The agreement will not have

any hard-and-fast machinery for automatically bringing a halt to the competitiveness of exporting countries that may offer wheat for sale below the proposed new minimums. Instead, the pact will provide a loose system of consultations between exporters when and if the floor is breached. U.S. officials mamtain that this, from the standpoint of American interests, is preferable to any stricter system of

enforcing the new price floors. Officials say a loose arrangement is most practical because there are so many types and grades of wheat that it is hard to determine for certain that the floor has definitely been breached for some particular type. Also, they add, the United States has enough market power to bring any really serious price-cutting under control by threatening a retaliatory trade war.
