Castro rules out U S ties unless Cuba concedes
Fidel Castro states Cuba will not withdraw troops from Angola or renounce support for Puerto Rican dissidents for any chance of renewed U S relations. He warns that there will never be relations with the United States at that price. President Ford had said Cuba’s aid to Angolan rebels undermines any improvement in ties. Ford noted Cuba has 4,000 to 6,000 troops in Angola. The remarks come as efforts for rapprochement stall. Octaviano Longoria files lawsuits in Laredo against four brothers and others seeking over 500 million dollars. The suits claim control of family empire via bearer bonds, after the mother’s death.

Hopes Are High On Winter Wheat
Washington officials forecast the 1976 winter wheat harvest could reach almost 15 billion bushels, though down 9 percent from this year’s record. The crop, planted in fall and harvested next summer, dominates U.S. wheat production and spans the Great Plains. Officials caution conditions vary from poor to excellent with drought hampering early seeding in the Plains, and spring growth uncertain depending on exports and spring planting.
