Montreal AP report on a proposal to decriminalize prostitution across the states via ABA House of Delegates debate. The amended resolution seeks repeal of laws criminalizing private commercial sexual conduct with licensing and regulation as possible controls. Supporters say it could reduce court backlogs and allow focus on violent crime while challenging gendered enforcement patterns.

Grain Traders To Curb Sales To Moscow
Washington AP The Ford administration urged American grain traders to refrain from further negotiations with the Soviet Union for at least a month due to a weaker harvest outlook. Earl L Butz said 9.8 million metric tons already sold would take five months to unload at Russian ports, stressing livestock feed needs over exports. He anticipated resumed talks with Moscow and noted consumer prices likely unchanged by current sales. The Crop Reporting Board projected a record 5.85 billion bushels of corn, though Iowa and Nebraska cited deterioration since Aug 1. Soybeans were up 18 percent to 1.458 billion bushels and a 2.14 billion bushel wheat crop was forecast, up 19 percent.
