Carter decision due on wheat crop curb
President Carter nears a final decision on whether to curb the nation's 1978 wheat crop with a set aside requiring farmers to idle land. Bergland backs a 25 percent set aside, potentially about 15 million acres, to bolster prices and reduce surplus, while critics warn of uncertain effects and ethical concerns in testing Laetrile. Gasoline prices for Labor Day weekend are set to rise slightly, with Southern California stations showing premium near 68 cents and regular near 58 cents, amid stable overall pricing.
