Bargain Air Fares Face More Rules and Higher Costs
Discount fares remain common but with stricter conditions and upcoming increases. The CAB notes many promos require time limits and specific travel schemes, while carriers push higher operating costs as justification for price hikes. Across six routes, regular coach fares rose about 39 percent, though some lowest fares stayed flat or fell, highlighting uneven changes in discount availability and consumer confusion.

Wheat Growers Decry Carter Grain Policy Changes
The National Association of Wheat Growers blasts Carter administration plans as an insidious move to create government reserves and suppress prices. Agriculture Secretary Bergland confirms no 1979 acreage set-aside changes and no new 1978 wheat and corn admitted to reserves. Farmers may extend 1978 crop loans six months to store grain in a potential International Emergency Wheat Reserve under government control. Wheat Growers president Winston Wilson, from Quanah Texas, condemns the shift as inflation-driven and ill conceived, swapping supply management for a rushed, government-led approach.
