Predicting record farm exports by Sonja Hillgren
American farm exports may hit a record 25 to 26 billion dollars this fiscal year with 113.3 million tons. Increases are led by sales to the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa, versus 102.2 million tons last year. The Agriculture Department notes strong rebound in Soviet purchases totaling about 1.8 billion dollars in food and fiber, with wheat, feed grain, and soybean exports rising. Eastern Europe is seen expanding as Poland receives 500 million dollars in CCC credit, while Latin America may approach 2.5 billion in exports aided by soybeans and animal products. China remains a limited market, and Western Europe, Japan, and other mature markets show mixed shifts.

Psychiatrist Testifies Nelson Insane When He Killed Six Children
In Rockford Illinois a defense psychiatrist testified that 46 year old Simon Peter Nelson was legally insane and suffered a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde personality during the murder of his six children ages three to twelve. The trial heard Nelson recall the scene in a trance like state and deny substantial capacity to appreciate or conform to the law. The testimony followed prosecutor's reading from Anatomy of a Murder and noted Nelsons belief in a spectre of his dead father during the killings and his claim of temporary insanity after his wife Ann asked for a divorce.

Suspected Maine prehistoric statue turns out to be candy promo
David Bowie of Westbrook found a six inch statue on Little Kennebago Lake shore and believed it to be a 2000 year old Maine artifact. Maine State Museum archeologist Dr. Bruce Bourque later determined it was a promotional rain god from Chicago’s Gunther Candy Co. given with chocolate boxes around the turn of the century. Margaret Shaw Chernowsky traced a Chicago issue showing a similar figure, leading to the conclusion the find was promotional rather than prehistoric.
