U.S. and Canada Study Wheat Price Minimum Talk
Agriculture Secretary Bob Bergland backs exploratory talks with Canada on a minimum wheat price policy. He plans to test Canadian sentiment with Transport Minister Otto Lang and says any broader accord would depend on principle and mutual benefit amid ongoing low prices and large carryover stocks. A separate report notes Dr Marilyn Markovitch died after attempting a self tracheotomy following a car crash in Mariposa County.

Nevada Assembly backs ERA plebiscite proposal
The Assembly Elections Committee voted 6-1 to send a bill to the floor for a November 1978 consultative vote on the Equal Rights Amendment. Backers and critics debated, with ERA supporters calling the effort a nonbinding probe and opponents warning of a campaigning storm. The measure previously failed in the Assembly earlier this session after Senate passage.

Judge upholds sale of Catalina liner
A federal judge upheld the auction sale of the S S Catalina known as the Great White Steamship after creditors argued the bid would not cover debts. Hymie Singer bought the ship for 70000 to settle about 400000 in unpaid debts, despite bids by Seymour Waterman and others. The ruling said Waterman’s higher bid was speculative and warned against delaying future auctions.
