The Reagan administration's Export PIK program, launched with considerable fanfare several weeks ago as a way of boosting U.S. grain sales overseas, hasn't resulted in any additional corn or wheat shipments. "You could say that Export PIK is under sail, but there's no wind," said Dick Fritz, of U.S. Wheat Associates, an export promotion group. An official of a commodity organization said privately, "So far, it's dead in the water and there are no signs that it's going anywhere soon." Agriculture Secretary John Block announced on June 4 that the U.S.

would subsidize the sale of one million tons of wheat to Algeria as the opening shot in the administration's new Export PIK program. No Sales Expected But Algeria hasn't bought any grain from the Uniteo States and experts say that no sales are expected in the next several weeks. There are, however, reports that Algeria has bought wheat from France. Under Export PIK, the United States agrees to provide enough free grain from its reserve stocks to enable an American company to undercut prices being offered by foreign competitors. But industry officials have reported that the U.S.

Department of Agriculture did not consult with Algerian grain-buyers before offering to sell them wheat under the Export PIK program. One official of a U.S. commodity organization said, "There are some bruised feelings on the part of the Algerians who do the grain buying." It's being widely reported throughout the grain industry that U.S. agricultural attaches in Algeria and in other North African countries were not consulted by the USDA before it selected Algeria as the first recipient of Export PIK.

LOUIS, MO. (AP) A veteran mail carrier says he feels no animosity toward a dog that lunged over a fence and bit off the end of his nose, but the attack may persuade him to retire. Vernon Jost, 58, who has been a mail carrier for 36 years, was bitten Monday by the mixed-breed dog. "I know these people," Jost said of the dog's owners, "They're good people. I don't want to make any trouble for them.

The dog was just doing his job." Jost's nose was reattached by a plastic surgeon during an hour-long procedure Monday night. REGISTER PHOTO BY GARY FANDEL r.

At a press conference held in the U.S. Capitol, John and Noreen Gosch said the dollar was found about one month ago by a woman who re ceived it in change at a Sioux City supermarket. The Gosches said they have had the bill analyzed by three handwriting experts and are convinced the signature is genuine. John Gosch, the boy's father, said discovery of the bill has provided "a source of additional hope" that Johnny is still alive. The parents also said they have assembled approximately $400,000 in reward money and would be willing to negotiate a ransom.

An additional $125,000 reward has been posted by The Des Moines Register and Iowa businesses. Two Missing Carriers Johnny disappeared in 1982 while delivering the Des Moines Sunday Register in his West Des Moines neighborhood. He was then 12 years old. Another Register carrier, Eugene Martin, vanished in 1984 while delivering the newspaper and remains missing. Also present at the press conference was Bill Coates, a Treasury Department employee, who said the dollar bill bearing the message was in the possession of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve as of July 25, 1984.

Sometime after that date, Coates said, it was distributed to a bank in one of six north-central states. Coates said the department had no way of determining to which state the bill was sent, or where it had been since then. "I wish we could do more," he said. Coates assisted the Gosches at the request of Iowa's senators.

Bowing to the clamor of America's taste buds, Coca-Cola Co. is bringing back the real thing: its 99-year-old formula for regular Coke. The old formula, to be called Coca-Cola Classic, will be sold side-by-side with new-formula Coke, which was introduced two months ago. Coca-Cola is hoping the move will calm a flood of public protest resulting from the formula switch. "I can definitely say that old Coke is back for the American public," spokesman Thomas Gray said from the company's headquarters in Atlanta.

"Everyone wins," said Gray. "Over 40 million consumers every day in the United States enjoy Coca-Cola but thousands of dedicated Coca-Cola consumers have told us they still want the original taste as an option. We have listened and we are taking action to satisfy their request." Gray said Coca-Cola Classic will be available in "some markets" within several weeks, and both formulas will be available to bottlers worldwide. "Which Coke is It?" The news, to be announced officially here today, prompted Pepsi-Cola spokesman Ken Ross to paraphrase the familiar Coke motto and ask, "Which Coke is It? We don't know, and the consumer doesn't know. With Pepsi, at least, you know what you're getting." Coke's stock soared on the New York Stock Exchange as rumors of the change bit Wall Street, rising $2,375 a share to close at $72,375 after heavy afternoon trading.

Pepsi was down 75 cents to $57.50. The reformulation of Coke has been the subject of national debate since May, when the switch was made. Feeling snubbed, old-formula fans flooded the company with an average of 1,500 protest calls a day, complaining that new Coke tasted just like the dreaded Pepsi. Coca-Cola even had to fight off a class-action lawsuit by the Seattle-based Old Cola Drinkers of America, which wanted the original formula returned. Coke won the suit, but the Old Cola Drinkers, with branches as far away as Rome, say COKE Pieose turn to Page 11 A She wins $400,000 suit over sex ad CAMDEN, N.J.

Student's once By PETER HECHT Dalai Times Herald STEPHENVILLE, TEXAS For several years, Tarleton State University student Rusty Branch chased the paleontologist's dream, scavenging riverbeds and lake shores for fish and reptile fossils, somehow hoping to uncover a large-scale dinosaur.

Last month, when his dream came true, Branch discovered at least six dinosaurs. But they were prehistoric midgets measuring barely three feet to 10 feet long. "I was little bit disappointed," he said later. didn't turn out to be the biggies." This week, however, a team of paleontologists is hailing Branch's discovery of the estimated 100-million-year-old remains as one of the most significant dinosaur finds in several years one that could fill a gap in natural history. The skeletal remains of plant-eating creatures called camptosaurs were discovered in muddy rock near Proctor Lake, 20 miles west of Ste- 3 years cut from plant's schedule; credit woe seen By JANE NORMAN Register Staff Wrtter In a move that could triple Des Moines-area sewer bills and blemish the city's credit rating, the federal government has ordered at least three years cut from the construction schedule for a new sewage treatment plant here, officials learned Wednesday.

To gain a delay, two federal agencies would have to be convinced by Sept. 1 that area cities and residents are in such deep financial trouble that meeting the new construction schedule would be impossible. "There's been enough bad news about Iowa lately, and we don't need any more, but this is very bad news," Kenneth Haynie, bond lawyer for the city of Des Moines, told about 30 city and state officials gathered Wednes-riav at the Ties Moines Convention Center. Monthly sewer rates for an average Des Moines household would be $23.81 if the construction schedule is shortened, almost tripling the current $8.70 average monthly rate, said City Engineer Harold Smith. He said that if sewer rates are increased as much as proposed to meet the new construction timetable, the Des Moines area will be "out of the market" for any new commercial or industrial growth.

"I'm sitting here just boiling inside," Altoona Mayor Sam Wise said at one point during the tense two-hour meeting. "Des Moines and the metropolitan area are in a Catch-22 that is very, very unfair, and this message has to get through to you people," he told two federal Environmental Protection Agency representatives at the meeting. 1994 Completion Date EPA has set a deadline of July 1, 1988, for cities to stop polluting the nation's waters with sewage and to comply with the Clean Water Act.

They sued for $100,000 in damages, claiming his action sparked phone calls that invaded their privacy.

But Mabe's action was proper, the Texas Supreme Court said Wednesday, in letting stand a decision by the First Court of Appeals in Houston.

The fossils eventually will become part of the collection of the Shuler Museum at SMU, university officials said. "This would be the oldest dinosaurs found in Texas," said James Brooks of SMU's Institute for the Study of Earth and Man.

"It tells us what kind of animals were living here between 100 and 120 million years ago and more about the environment at that time than we knew before." Louis Jacobs, the director of the SMU Museum of Palentology who is helping supervise the Stephenville excavation, said the discovery "in terms of both quality and abundance of fossils, ranks among the most productive sites in the world."

Add it to Coke, Diet Coke, Caffeine-free Coke, Caffeine-free Diet Coke and the planned Cherry Coke, and you come up with a shelf space problem for local grocers that far outstrips their concern over the difference between the old and the new Coke. "It's going to be a problem, with all stores, finding a place to stock it," said Tim Potts, manager of the Hy-Vee Food Store at Fleur Drive and McKin-ley Avenue in Des Moines. Potts echoed the concern of about a half-dozen Des Moines grocers who Wednesday afternoon learned of the Coca-Cola decision to sell both old Coke and new Coke.

"We're kind of in a predicament as far as shelf space there are so many new products coming in," said Mike Hixson, assistant manager of the Dahl's Food Market at 3710 Avenue Frederick M. Hubbell. But this new, old product really is nothing more than an admission of error, according to the local bottler of Coke competitor Pepsi-Cola. And Michael Sinks, general manager of Pepsi-Cola General Bottlers further objected to the publicity generated in the new-Coke, old-Coke debate.

President Reagan will have a second, apparently benign growth removed from his colon Friday and also will undergo a thorough examination of his large intestine during an overnight stay at Be-thesda Naval Medical Center, the White House announced Wednesday.

Presidential spokesman Larry Speakes said the tiny "pseudo-polyp" was found to be non-cancerous after it was discovered during an examination March 8 and that chances of it currently being malignant are "extremely remote." Medical experts generally agreed, while also pointing out that a complete examination of the colon and removal of any polyps is recommended as a way of preventing colon cancer, the second most common form of cancer deaths among humans.
