The inevitable result will be a congressional squabble that may impede Congress' drive toward adjournment. By administration estimates, the bill that won committee approval Thursday by a 12-3 vote would result i in costlier cotton and wheat programs than those approved by the House. It would shatter administration hopes for a one-price cotton plan and peg treasury payments to wheat growers higher than the administration wants them. The committee chairman, Sen.

Allen J. Ellender, squeezed the cotton section through on an 8-7 vote. Sen. Milton R. Young, a Republican from wheat-growing North Dakota, got unanimous approval for higher price supports for wheat.

Will Act Next Week The Senate will take up the bill after its Labor Day lay-off. The Ellender cotton plan would continue for four years price supports on cotton at or near the current 29 cents a pound for producers who stay within acreage allotments. Domestic mills and handlers would be able to buy cotton at 3 cents a pound below the support level. The House bill would continue the one-price cotton plan for both domestic and foreign buyers, but offer producers a subsidy of 5 to 9 cents a pound. acid indigestion?

MOSCOW, (UPI)-Russia has suspended part of the U.S.-Soviet cultural exchange program presumably because of the Viet Nam situation, U. S. Ambassador Foy Kohler announced tonight, Kohler said the Embassy had been told that a U.S.

hand tool exhibit, due here late this year, had been called off and officials were given to understand that "now is not the proper time." The announcement came in the wake of the Kremlin's decision to say goodbye, Dolly, to the top american musical "Hello Dolly" that was slated to come here this year. U.S. officials har ed this was Soviet "harassment" of the cultural exchange. In addition the Russians have decided to halt their space exhibition that was to tour the United States next year, Kohler said. The ambassador told newsmen that the bulk of the U.S.

Soviet cultural exchange program was continuing in the sphere of exchange students, scientists and performing artists. But Soviet authorities have not yet replied to a U. S. offer to begin negotiations for a new cultural agreement to replace the present pact which expires at the end of this year. Washington sources said today the Soviet exchange for "Hello, Dolly" the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra will be allowed to perform in New York next month as scheduled.

Instead of "Hello, Dolly," which had been slated for a five-week simultaneous showing in Moscow and Leningrad, U.S. negotiators were seeking another U.S. performing group which might get Kremlin approval. U.S. authorities said the Soviets had not been bound to accept "'Hello, Dolly" because they had never signed a contract for it.

The musical play one of five such U.S. appearances in the Soviet Union proposed under this year's exchange program, they said. BRAKE FRONT END SERV.

Greeks Eye 2 Solutions By George Androulidakes ATHENS, Greece (UPI) King Constantine will wait "several days' before deciding on his next approach to a solution of Grece's prolonged political crisis, it was reported today. Informed sources said that the king is likely to follow one of two courses: Appointment of a new premier to form a coalition government, or formation of a nonpolitical government to run the country until elections are held early next year. Everyone present at the second crown council meeting last night except ousted ex-Premier George Papandreou favored another try to form a government.

Papandreou would say only that he might be willing to support a non-political government. Apparently he did not insist on the Nov. 15 deadline he had set previously for the calling of elections. It appeared that a new premier could count on the support of only 144 members of parliament, seven less than the minimum he would need. Political sources say, however, that it might be possible to get the other seven votes, depending on who King Constantine called to try to form a government.

At present no names are being mentioned as strong possibilities.
