Bellmon says Soviet wheat sales may not be bonanza
U S Senator Henry Bellmon from Oklahoma warns that Soviet wheat purchases may not yield big gains for American farmers. He says the Russians cannot afford large yearly buys, expect only a one time spike, and that future deals may involve natural gas timber or platinum instead of wheat. He praises Russian people and notes limited foreign exchange, while signaling uncertainty about re election plans and not taking a stand on local busing issues.

Hold Up Claim Over Indians Group Payment
Rep. Jenn Saylor says a $66 630 payment to send home protesters who occupied the Bureau of Indian Affairs was the greatest hold up in American history. Government officials testified the cash aided evacuation and avoided court-ordered housing for the protesters. Frank Carlucci said $366 650 was paid to Indians to cover travel home under an emergency provision and OEO funds authorized the grant. Bert Gallegos, OEO attorney, argued the action did not violate congressional intent.
