US DA Raises Grain Price Supports FORMER LENA-WINSLOW HIGH School student Linda Bubal had her picture and a write-up about her in the February issue of American Girl magazine. The article listed her school activities.

The information was sent in by several classmates as a tribute to Linda, who has moved to Monroe, Wis. WASHINGTON Government price supports for grains and cotton will rise about 10 to 14 per cent this year but in a rebuff to farm spokesmen who wanted bigger increases will remain well below current market prices, the Agriculture Department has announced. At the same time, however, Agriculture Secretary Earl L. Butz has granted another farm bloc request by agreeing to revive the government support program for soybeans which he suspended in 1975. Butz' announcements on grain and cotton supports contained no real surprises.

Word had leaked earlier from administration sources that in addition to legally mandated increases this year in support target prices for grains and cotton, Butz would use his discretionary powers to grant roughly matching increases in crop support loans. In the official announcement Mon- Police Investigation Continues In Rockford Homosexual Case ROCKFORD (UPI) Authorities have accused four men, including a mental health caseworker, a newspaperman and a "Porno King," of joining in a homosexual group which lured teen-age boys into involvement. Several other men are under suspicion. The four were arrested and charged in recent weeks as part of a 10-month investigation, Robert Gemignani, first assistant state's attorney for Winnebago County, said Tuesday. Gemignani said the four men invited at least five to seven boys ranging in age from 12 to 15 to parties and gave them beer and marijuana to lure them into homosexual acts.

"Participation by boys at that age can be induced by seduction," he said. None of the boys went to authorities, but they complained of the incidents when they were interviewed, Gemignani said. He identified those charged as Richard Vander Linden, 35, Rockford, a caseworker at the Singer Mental Center; Daniel DiLeo, 37, Rockford, regional editor of the Rockford Morning Star; Harold Burdin, 31, a machine operator for Quaker Oats and Guy Strait, who is wanted on about 19 counts of morals violations in San Francisco. Vander Linden was charged with three counts of taking indecent liberties with minor boys. The other three men each were charged with one count on the same charge.

Vander Linden quit his job in December and was arrested in Florida while visiting his parents. DiLeo and Burdin both were arrested in recent weeks. Strait, described by authorities as an international "Porno King" who deals in films of young boys engaging in homosexual acts, was still at large Tuesday. A former Singer Mental Health Center employe, Carole Marasovic, has served as a prime witness in the case and believes the ring involves several other persons. She told the Rockford Register-Republic the names of nine other suspects.

She said others involved included a Winnebago County courts official, a former employe of the Illinois Department of Vocational Rehabilitation, a former newspaper reporter, an em- ploye of a department store, an attorney and three other employes of the health center. Gemignani said, "No other person is presently charged nor do we expect to charge anyone in the very immediate future. I do not have nine other suspects. I have an awful lot of people I want to talk to. All we have at the moment are rumors which have not been checked." Mrs.

Marasovic reportedly took a polygraph test to add credibility to her story, but Gemignani would not verify that fact. The case allegedly came to light last May when Vander Linden invited a teen-age couple to a party and attempts were made to draw them into homosexual activities. The tw.o then went to a minister, who complained to the health center and police. day, Butz said the support target for corn would go from last year's $1.38 a bushel to a new rate of $1.57 for this year's crop. The increase was required by a 1973 law which ties the targets which serve to trigger direct payments to farmers if market prices dip below the target level to changes in farm production costs.

No increase was legally required in the crop support loan for corn, which was $1.10 a bushel last year, but Butz raised it to $1.25, an increase roughly proportional to the hike in the target. For other crops, the pattern was the same as Butz rejected pressure from some farm groups that wanted loans raised to much higher levels so farmers could get stronger protection against the possibility that big harvests would force market prices down. The "new supports remained well below the $2.44 average mid-January corn price. For soybeans, which are not included Teachers Endorse Howlett Sixteen area teachers attended the 122nd Illinois Education Association convention at Chicago last week. Don Walz, an Orangeville teacher and IEA Region 1 chairman and a member of the IEA board of directors, said the group endorsed Michael Howlett in the governor's race.

Howlett's position that the state a constitutional, legal and moral obligation to provide full funding for Illinois schools was a deciding factor in the endorsement, Walz said. Chicago Mayor Richard Daley addressed the teachers and stressed his support for the educational needs of Illinois, Walz said. Other business included revising the dues structure, changing the bylaws to organize school service personnel and the adoption of a budget. Freeport teachers attending were Robert Hendrickson, Heidi Downing, Tom Littrell, Jeffrey Mikkelsen, Joyce Scoggins, Larry Scoggins, Ed Wenger and Art Jacobs. Area teachers attending were Dennis Alden of Chadwick, Jane Roberts of Mount Carroll, Carl Schwerdtfeger of Elizabeth, John Stone of Hanover and Sandra Larson of Pearl City.

Shimer's 'Open Campus' Policy Brings Sargeant Shriver Rally MOUNT CARROLL In the eight weeks since Shimer College announced its "open campus" policy, its facilities have been reserved by 41 groups involving more than 2,000 persons, a Shimer spokesman said this week. Included in the reservations is a March 12 "Sargeant Shriver For President" rally. A Shimer official said Shriver, a Democratic candidate, will attend the rally. Reservations also include four weddings, a police group, church groups, a meeting of county public school superintendents and a drum and bugle corps from Rockford. The drum and bugle corps was the most difficult to schedule, the official said, because practice sessions could not interfere with final examinations during May.

An alternative date was finally established for this summer when the 160-member band can eat, sleep and practice on the campus. The open campus policy was announced in December by Ralph W. Conant, college president. Conant said he was instituting a new policy of making all Shimer facilities available without charge to groups located within 100 miles of the campus. The offer was a way of saying "thanks" to persons who had helped the small college survive an economic crisis, he said.

So many groups have requested the use of Shimer facilities that Conant has appointed Dan Shiner, a presidential intern, to work on the open campus activities. Groups and individuals interested in using the swimming pool, the Karyn Kupcinent Playhouse, the library, classrooms or dormitories for overnight accommodations may reserve them in advance by calling Shimer College.

No support was offered in 1975 on grounds that good market conditions made the program meaningless, but Butz said he was restoring the support this year because growers are facing increased competition from Brazilian soybeans and Asian palm oil. On other crops, the support target and loan actions included: Wheat: targets raised from $2.05 last year to and the crop support loan rate from $1.37 a bushel last year to $1.50. Grain sorghum: the target went from $1.31 a bushel in 1975 to $1.49, and the loan from $1.05 a bushel to a new rate of $1.19. Barley: the target rose from last year's $1.13 a bushel to $1.28, and the loan from 90 cents a bushel to $1.02. Cotton: the target which was 38 cents a pound last year rose to 43.2 cents.

The loan earlier had been raised from 34.27 cents to a new level of 37.12 cents. The oats loan rose from 54 cents a bushel last year to 60 cents, and the rye loan from 89 cents a bushel in 1975 to $1 a bushel. These crops are not covered by target prices. The higher target prices, while they may remain below markets and thus may not produce payments for most farmers, will serve to bring bigger returns to some wheat growers and other farmers who lose substantial portions of their 1976 crops to drought or other natural disasters. This is because current farm law provides disaster payments, based on 30 per cent of the target price, for grain and cotton crops lost in cases of "substantial" natural disaster.
