He then sent for 800 more pounds and sold out again and was starting in on his third round when this reporter lifted restrictions on the number of acres which can be planted in rice for 1974.

Breaux said here Friday night that the new program is an example of how figures are being juggled. He said that acreage allotments have actually been cut, but that farmers have been told they can plant as much as they want in excess of the number of acres allotted.

John Breaux, says the federal government is using southwest Louisiana as a testing ground for new farm programs designed to do away with price supports. "I have it on pretty good information that the government is going to hand down its proposal for changing the rice program within the next couple of weeks," Breaux said here Friday night.

"The federal government is using farmers in southwest Louisiana as some sort of experiment," the freshman Congressman said.

"We don't yet have all the assurances, military and diplomatic, that we need to go all the way in ending the alert," a senior official told a reporter. By this, he indicated the United States still is not certain that the Soviet Union has removed about 50,000 paratroopers from an alert which helped precipitate a brief crisis between the United States and Russia. U.S. officials have said this government wants to be sure there no longer is any danger that the Russians will make a military move in the Middle East before the United States ends the alert of its forces. There were indications that all phases of the alert probably will end by Sunday night.

the part of him (McKeithen). McDougall, 54, is charged with two counts of false declarations, each of which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and $10,000 fine. He was director of the state Civil Service Department when he switched in 1969 to become McKeithen's administrative chief. Near the end of McKeithen's administration in 1972, he was named executive director of the Health Education Authority of Louisiana but resigned that job after being indicted. McDougall is now chief examiner for the Civil Service Department.

He had previously headed that department for 16 years. Four former legislators indicted along with McDougall and a fifth one indicted later are to be tried "sometime in January," according to Walter. E. Holmen Jones of Oak-dale, Francis Bickford of Hammond, Irving Bou-dreaux of Baton Rouge and Thomas C.

McKeithen said McDougall was picked to work with him in his administration "by good government people it was not a political appointment by any stretch of the imagination." There's no evidence McDougall tried to do anything but "get the best deal he could for the State of Louisiana," McKeithen asserted.

He emphasized his criticism of the Justice Department "is solely limited to Walter." McKeithen said Walter had urged McDougall "to tell him what he knew about me" and that McDougall knew nothing but good to tell.
