Brown sees progress on malpractice insurance reform
Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr says the legislature is making headway on reform but the malpractice issue remains tough. The Assembly approved a state fund plan while the Senate delayed a comprehensive bill, as doctors threaten a walkout if actions fail by September 15. Brown notes ongoing fermentation and urges movement, while outlining the basic choice: higher premiums or lower recoveries.

Butz seeks suspension of grain sales to Russia
Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz urged American grain firms to halt further exports to the Soviet Union, backing the move with possible legal action. He cited new USDA crop estimates showing a huge U S corn harvest despite drought and warned that future price gains could be kept low if supplies remain ample. The report also trimmed Soviet crop forecasts by 5 million tons to 180 million, increasing expected Soviet import needs to about 25 million tons.
