Soviets Could Buy Large Share of U.S. Wheat Crop
The Agriculture Department says the Soviet Union may purchase 250 to 400 million bushels of U.S. wheat this year, up to a quarter of the crop, with private firms facilitating deals led by a former U.S. agriculture official. Wheat prices in the Midwest have risen on the prospect, and total farm sales to the Soviets could near $1 billion for the year. The Soviets would become the second-largest foreign farm market after Japan.

Ellsberg Russo vow anti Nixon campaign during delay
Daniel Ellsberg and Anthony Russo announced plans to use the postponement of their Pentagon Papers trial to give antiwar speeches and campaign against President Nixon. They call the administration a menace to citizens and allege the charges are used to chill disclosure of government wrongdoing. The case involves espionage conspiracy and theft over Pentagon Papers leaks. The trial halted after a wiretap dispute with jurors on call for October court resumption or new steps.
