Ethel and Don Martin of Kansas filed a class action in federal court alleging U S regulations on federal disaster aid discriminate by treating a married couple as one farm operator.

UPI reports House investigators hold a secret KCIA plan to spend about 750000 in 1976 to sway American policy and campaign contributions. Eight witnesses slated, including John Ho Young, a KCIA agent who defected to U.S. authorities. The plan lists operations in Congress, executive branches, media, academia, religion, and Korean residents, with funds allocated and targets named.
