Tariffs and quotas trim American coal exports
American coal producers say high wages still keep them competitive but tariffs and import quotas in Europe, especially Germany, curb overseas sales.

Congress May Rush Simple Wheat Bill In Congress
Washington AP reports Congress may move quickly on a simple wheat bill to tighten current law. A compromise measure would cut acreage 20 percent for 1960 61 crops while boosting price supports to 80 percent of parity. Eisenhower opposes higher price supports though Benson neutral. Wheat output in 1959 projected near 1.2 billion bushels with about 200 million surplus.

Health Board To Name Proxy Election In Topeka
The Kansas Board of Health will meet to elect a president and vice president to fill vacancies from the expiration of terms of Dr. Fred Ogilvie of Kansas City and Richard E. Stone of Wichita. Also under review is the status of Dr. Geoffrey Martin, executive secretary, after past actions by Gov. George Docking. The matter includes debate on a proposed tobacco price support bill and its potential effects on prices, exports, and acreage. A separate fire in East St Louis destroyed six Negro homes, damaged two, and left 25 homeless with no injuries.
