Soviets ignore U.S. wheat offer despite subsidy rise
Senator Lugar criticizes Reagan administration for subsidizing U.S. wheat to the Soviet Union, noting Moscow has not purchased after a month. The plan to sell 4 million metric tons at cut rates aims to clear surpluses, but critics say the subsidy belittles policy. If not bought by Sept 30, the deal expires. Australia warns of a subsidy war and market distortion.

U.S. blocks private aid to Nicaragua farm tools
The Reagan administration denied Oxfam America's request to ship 41000 dollars in donated farming tools and supplies to Nicaragua, citing policy conflicts amid hunger concerns and ongoing Contra aid approvals. Oxfam said the aid would aid peasants and two non governmental centers, not the Sandinista government. Hammock condemned the move as political hunger leverage.
