Unemployment May Force Carter to Withdraw Forecast
President Carter may have to drop his claim of cutting unemployment by 25 percent if his new forecast holds. He predicts 7.5 percent jobless by fall, adds 1.7 million unemployed in 1980, and outlines increased spending on public service jobs, reading and writing programs, and private sector initiatives to combat unemployment amid a 13 percent inflation rate. Kennedy challenges Carter with a tough policy agenda and calls for wage and price freezes, rationing, and a UN inquiry into Iran’s grievances, rallying a Georgetown audience.

Grain embargo reshapes Maryland farmers plans and profits
Maryland farmers adopt a wait and see stance on this year's corn and soybean crops as the grain sale embargo to the Soviet Union slows shipments. Farm Bureau official Jack Matthews notes most grain feeds local markets, but the embargo by President Carter impacts prices and storage decisions amid a preexisting surplus. Local grower Allie Messer links the embargo to potential price declines and extended harvest timing, stressing agriculture cannot quickly adapt to abrupt policy changes.

Cheaper Oil by Using Lead Antiknock Savings
Werner T. Meyer, head of a trade group, argues the United States can cut crude oil costs by as much as 25 percent. He says each pound of lead antiknock saves about 21 dollars per barrel and with lead priced under 1 dollar a pound, five dollars could effectively buy a barrel, given the current roughly twenty dollar per barrel market.
