Grain deal could revive US grain shipments to Russia
Washington AP The Soviets agreed to pay 16 dollars per ton for grain shipments to Russia raising profits for U S flag ships and potentially enabling a grain for oil swap. The rate, not yet signed, could bring about 1 000 idle seamen back to work and ease a 30 day boycott while negotiators seek to blunt food price impacts.

Zarb Warns Oil Firms Are Itchy
Federal Energy Administrator Frank G. Zarb warns oil firms may hike prices by November if Congress does not reimpose price controls. Oil companies have avoided raises since controls ended over two weeks ago, but Zarb says a prolonged period without a decision is likely. Congress faces a vetoed energy bill as Speaker Carl Albert notes overriding is unlikely, with conferees seeking a workable plan before going to Ford.

Need A Friend By DON LAMBERT
Alta Cruces, shelter manager, reports a dog population boom at the local Humane Shelter with 30 dogs filling capacity for a second consecutive day this week. She notes 20 dogs were put down to keep space, blaming low spay rates for females and slow adoptions. Officer Terry Seaton has issued 18 citations this month for dogs running loose while Cruces hopes for adoptions or owners reclaiming the animals, including several named breeds and mixed dogs.
