Federal and local officials brace for flood costs and aid
AP reports a Texas Welfare Department spokesman says the new federal secrecy oath does not violate the Open Records Act amid a challenge in Anderson County. Gov Briscoe seeks disaster declarations for Hardin Harris and Orange counties after June floods with damages up to 6.995 million. Estimated private losses top 4.6 million, public property 593 thousand, and agriculture 1.8 million. White House actions, food stamp changes, school district suit, urban aid talks, Hearst case, a Portland fire death toll, Oklahoma hog ban, trucker strike, gas priority, Soviet grain purchases, and a Corley murder trial date complete a busy national notice.

Cattle prices may fall as cattle backlog grows
Agriculture Department experts say cattle prices have plateaued after an upturn. Omaha choice-grade steer prices slipped to 53.98 per 100 pounds in the week ending June 28, with further declines likely as a large grass-fed herd moves to market and farmers Cull breeding stock in coming months.
