FBI hunts Weather Underground for bombing plot
The FBI presses a nationwide probe into Weather Underground involvement in the State Department bombing in Washington and an Oakland federal building bombing attempt. A special task force coordinates agents across the country while the group, once called Weatherman, is said to have fewer than 30 members and a radical stance against U.S. policy. Federal officials link hoax calls to the Weather Underground but caution the hoaxes may not be their work.

Wheat and soybean export restraints eased
Government export limits on wheat and soybeans rise to 100000 tons per foreign sale from today, up from 50000. The changes follow cancellations of Soviet and Chinese purchases, with Russia and China halting planned buys of tens of thousands to over six hundred thousand tons. Growers urged quicker relief and officials frame move as expanding export trade. Politically charged by farm groups, the change draws mixed reaction and questions about full removal of approval requirements.
