Washington AP Chairman Jackson of the Senate investigations subcommittee said major government blunders in the Soviet wheat deal cost American buyers a full billion dollars. He links price hikes in bread, chicken, beef, and eggs to the 1972 policy failures and calls for a central clearinghouse to regulate exports.
