ST LOUIS AP Ralston Purina Co said five years of improper payments totaling 154000 were due to extortionate demands by local officials. Six foreign affiliates made improper payments to government officials. A former division executive was reimbursed about 500 for dinners some linked to election campaigns. The audit found possible law violations and misdescriptions in records, raising federal tax by 19000. Results forwarded to SEC and IRS. Employees warned that further violations will trigger termination and possible legal action.

Viking 1 remains active, continuing experiments in a Martian desert as Viking 2 readies its landing.
