Nebraska Farmers Plan Dec 14 Strike and Alcohol Plant
A Nebraska group named Farmers Strike joins with a Colorado group American Agriculture to plan a December 14 strike. George Boucher of Ravenna says the movement has few formal members but large meeting turnout and aims to raise livestock parity and build a 5000 bushel monthly grain alcohol plant with local oil firm support. He has sent telegrams to Billy Carter and President Carter seeking backing.

Salivary gland tumors cured by atomic beam treatment

The article notes neutrons are atomic particles from atomic fission and recalls 1932 as pivotal for nuclear chain reactions. Separately, Richard Pryor sued Brut Productions for 350000 over canceling plans to film Cyrano de Bergerac.
