it rove Not all s). of wheat action (By the Associated Press) Spokesmen for Kansas agriculture had differing views over the weekend to news President Ford had squelched the of 125 million bushels of grain to the Union. 1 The president of the Kansas Farm Bureau, John Junior Armstrong, said Ford was listening to the wrong advisers and the move would do "immeasureable to our nation's balance of paymen- ts and to American agriculture." Dr. Roy Fredrick, Kansas State extension economist, said the "move may spell lower sheat prices but he thought the grain would remain above $4 level that has prevailed since this summer's harvest. The secretary of the National Association of Wheat Growers, Don Crane of Wright, told farmers, "Don't panic.

We've got the wheat and 'the world needs it." Congressional candidate Don Smith told an audience of farmers in Syracuse, "Now that they've dropped the "other shoe, you know how well your interests are being taken care of, by people in Fredrick said since the contracts were 'announced on Friday, then withdrawn "I can't see this having a big on prices because we're back to -where we were to begin with on expor- He said he did think the suspension take some of the steam out of the -surge that carried wheat prices to a Reason high of $4.82 in Topeka last week. Armstrong, a northeast Kansas grain livestock farmer, didn't agree. He the action threatens to ruin -American farmers. A Farm Bureau spokesman said of the bureau's board members called him and said they could not find any local elevator that was buying grain Saturday. He said it was because the grain trade was stunned and it saw its foreign markets being destroyed by the President's action.

"At at time when the administration should be pulling out all stops. to encourage food p'roduction on the nation's farms and ranches, this action to block legitimately negotiated sales is going to turn farmers and ranchers off," Armstrong said. Armstrong said the idea that processors in this country may run short of grain because of foreign sales is "a lot of baloney." Crane said there is suspicion that big grain companies are using Ford's action as a ploy to drive down the price of wheat by making farmers fear the world market will dry up. "We are afraid the farmer will panic, reacting out of fear that his price will drop back to $1.25 a bushel and try to save wheat he can by selling now," Crane said. "That would play into the hands of the Crane said White House statements that the Russian sale would cause higher food prices is not valid, "since anyone knows the grain price has little to do with food prices." Smith, a Dodge City attorney seeking the first district congressional seat now held by Republican Keith Sebelius, said the Republican administration has "done in" the farmer just as was the case with the Russian grain sale in 1972.

"It is just another example of the com- plete insensitivity to the needs of far- mers in western Kansas. It is a serious matter," Smith said. He called for the immediate resig- nation of Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz. agency picks insurance groups for high-risk plan JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) Fourteen major insurance companies have been chosen to serve as "servicing carriers" for the state's new insurance plan for high risk drivers, State Insurance Supt.

Edward Farmer announced today. "The 14 companies were only a few of those actually volun- teering, but they met the qualifications'required for the added responsibilities," Farmer said. The new joint underwriting association effective Jan. 1, re- places the current assigned risk plan for high-risk drivers, which Farmer said has been ineffective in forcing drivers of some 600,000 uninsured vehicles to obtain coverage. Under the new plan, Farmer said, agents and brokers will be able to select which of the 14 companies they want to deal with, and the major firms will issue policies, adjust claims, pay losses and provide services for motorists under the plan in the same manner they do for other drivers.

The 14 companies are: Western Casualty Surety Insurance United States Fidelity Guaranty Insurance Travelers Insurance Insurance State Farm Mutual Insurance Safeco Insurance Co. of MFA Mutual Isnurance Liberty Mutual Insurnce Firemans Fund Insurance Farmers Insurance Exchange, Commercial Union -Insurance Automobile Club Inter-insurance Exchange, American Family Mutual Insurance and Allstate Insuran- ce Co.

The accident happened on Camden County Route about 2.3 miles south of the V-P phone still ringing WASHINGTON (AP) They still answer the phones "office of the vice president," even though the nation doesn't now have a vice president. That's because "we still have a constitutional respon- sibility," explained Walter Mote, who heads the six-per- son staff that continues to occupy two vice presidential offices on Capitol Hill. Mote, formerly adminis- trative assistant to vice presi- dents Spiro T. Agnew and Ger- ald R. Ford, said the responsi- bility is to receive and log for the Federal Archives all official communications directed to the Senate.

As Ford did before him, Vice President-designate Nelson A. Rockefeller is carefully avoiding any contact with the vice presidential office before he is confirmed. When the former New York governor visited the Dirksen Office Building two days after his 20 nomination by President Ford, Mote invited him inside the office. "I'm superstitious or I'd come in," Rockefeller said, declining the offer. a i a President Pro Tempore James O.

Eastland had received sim- ilar benefits during the two months after Agnew resigned and before Ford became vice president. The six staff members, whose annual pay totals a bit more than $100,000, occupy offices in the Capitol and the Dirksen Building.
