Embargo Proposals Defeated Amid Senate Dull Aid and Debate
Congress did not end the embargo in its first 30 days as major farm groups shifted from support to opposition. Proposals to bar Commerce funds from enforcing the embargo were defeated by large margins and would not restore full grain trade with the Soviet Union. Agriculture and Foreign Affairs leaders plan hearings while the Soviet Union has ordered 200,000 metric tons of U. S. grain under the standstill terms, including 100,000 tons of corn and 100,000 of wheat for the new fiscal year starting October 1.
