Farmers Should Have Had Voice In Grain Deal Decisions
USDA says the 1975 grain pact with the Soviet Union was a workable solution to a difficult trade problem but that farmers should have participated in the negotiations. The agreement calls for six to eight million metric tons annually for five years with deliveries underway. The Young Executives Committee notes officials outside agriculture led the talks and that the plan calmed public fears about food shortages despite initial tensions.

Tag Agent Claims Ignorance Of Law
Oklahoma County tag agent Casey Jones said he did not know of a 1967 law requiring detailed financial statements to be filed with county and state officials. Records show no reports on file from his predecessor. Tulsa County officials noted Doris Smith filed such statements. The law applies to counties over 300,000 population and requires annual financial statements to be filed with the county treasurer, county superintendent of schools, and the State Examiner and Inspector's Office.
