Congressman's probe of rumored Russian grain sale
Rep. John Melcher plans to urge the House Agriculture Committee to probe a Moscow visit by Asst. Secretary Carroll Brunthaver amid rumors of talks on possible U.S. grain sales to the Soviet Union. The Agriculture Department denies such discussions, noting the trip involved cooperative activities and not sales. The probe follows prior investigations into last year’s grain deals and recent Senate inquiries. Meanwhile, Mississippi River flood levels rose at St. Louis and crested lower than historic peaks Friday.
