Farm Land Demands WASHINGTON Lower interest rates and a pent-up demand helped boost farm land values eight per cent last year, the biggest gain since 1968, says the Agriculture Department.

The average value of farm land nationally was $217 per acre, up $16 from a year earlier, the department said. Total value of the nation's farm land and building was $228.6 billion, a gain of $15.6 billion. The increase, reported for the year ended last March 1. also was nearly triple the three per cent growth reported for 1970-71 and ended, temporarily at least, a sharp slowdown of the previous three years.

196 (TWO SECTIONS) PRICE 10 CENTS Justice Department Joins Michigan In Blocking School Busing Program WASHINGTON (AP) The Justice Department joined the state of Michigan today in an effort to block the school busing program ordered for the Detroit metropolitan area by a U.S. district court judge. The department's Civil Rights Division filed a of-the-eourt brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit in Cincinnati requesting a stay of the district court order. (See Related Story on Page 3.) The brief asked that a stay be ordered so the appellate court can "hear and determine questions relating to the constitutional merits" of the case.

The hearing on the appeal, by Michigan Gov. William G. Millikin and state Atty. Gen. Frank J.

Kelley, for a stay or suspension of forced busing orders by U.S. District Court Judge Stephen Roth was ssched- uled by the 6th circuit court later today. The federal government brief says that because of the unprecedented scope of Judge Roth's order, there should be an opportunity foi appellate review "prior to requiring the defendants to spend a great deal of money and take other irreversible steps looking to implementation (of a desegregation plan)." Under the federal district court order, Detroit would be required to consolidate into one attendance area 53 separate school districts and approximi- mately 780,000 students. Judge Roth ordered that the Detroit school board purchase 295 school buses to begin a busing program this fall. Under Judge Roth's ruling, the Detroit school board was to have placed an order for the 295 buses July 14 but the action llth District Republicans Map National Plans Here More than 50 Republican representatives from the 27 counties comprising the new llth Congressional District, met in the Sault Saturday to make plans and map strategy for the upcoming Republican National Convention and the subsequent U.S.

Ohio (AP) -Domestic steel producers are still aiming at record shipments of 48 million net tons or more in the second half of 1972, but lagging recovery in several key demand areas is beginning to cause some concern, Industry Week magazine said today.

The business weekly said most company forecasters expected steel orders from the heavy construction, capital goods and shipbuilding industries to be rebounding smartly by now. They're still waiting, the magazine said. Hopeful signs developing in the third quarter, according to Industry Week, are increased orders from equipment makers, a rise in industrial, commercial and highway construction and a boom in shipbuilding. If all these trends continue favorably, Industry Week said, domestic steelmakers believe their shipments could total 23.5 million net tons in the third quarter and 25 million net tons in the fourth quarter. Steel managers, however, are keeping a wary eye on steel imports as foreign steel continued to flow into the country at a high rate in May.

Navy Finds 43 Flaws In Its F14 WASHINGTON (AP) The Navy found 43 major flaws in test models Of its new F14 fighter plane during a preliminary evaluation late last year, according to congressional testimony made public- today. Sixteen of those deficiencies related to safety. The Navy told a House Appropriations subcommittee that "corrective action is under and that a majority of the repaired aircraft would be ready for testing this summer.

This testimony, which also reported 75 minor problems with the F14, came during closed-door budget hearings last April. An F14 crashed into Chesapeake Bay June 30, killing its civilian test pilot. Navy sources said divers still are recovering pieces of the plane and that cause of the crash has not yet been determined. The specific problems detected during evaluation flights by Navy pilots last November and December were referred to only sketchily in the April report to the House subcommittee. But testimony by senior admirals under questioning indicated deficiencies involved engines stalling, difficulty in recovering from spins, and flight range, among other things.

In addition, the congressmen were told that 10 deficiencies were found in the system controlling the Phoenix missile, the F14's principal weapon. Most of these problems, too, will be straightened out, the Navy assured the subcommittee. The F14 is designed to serve the Navy in fleet air defense and air superiority mission in the late 1970s and the 1980s. Despite Pentagon claims that the F14 is indispensible for the Navy in future years, the project has come under intense fire for congressional critics because of its escalating costs. The Pentagon lists the price of an F14 at S16.8 million, up from $11.5 million last year.

Montreal Forum Damaged By Blast From A Bomb MONTREAL (AP) A bomb exploded outside the Montreal Forum early today under a truck loaded with equipment for a concert in the arena tonight by the Rolling Stones, a police spokesman reported. No one was reported hurt, but the windows on the north side of the building were broken. Peter Rudge, manager of the British rock group, said the concert would take place as scheduled. The Forum building covers a block and is the home of the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League. The building Gasten Lesage, 56, was sitting by the back entrance about 15 feet from the truck.

"There was a hell of a bounce." he said. "All those windows broke, a ball of fire came out from under the truck, and then there was a lot of smoke." The motive for the bombing not immediately apparent. A police bomb squad was investigating the possibility that another explosive device had been placed under another truck parked nearby. Violence has occurred in other cities where the Stones have held concerts as part of their current six-week North American tour. In San Diego, several persons were arrested June 14 when rioting broke out after holders of counterfeit tickets to a Stones' concert were turned away.

The next night, police in Tucson, used tear gas to disperse a crowd of 200 to 300 window-breaking youths who tried to crash a concert. When the Stones appeared at the Metropolitan Sports Center in Bloomington, June 18, several hundred gate-crashers caused $1,000 to $1,500 damage to the facility. Eight persons were arrested and several policemen were injured. The current Stones' concert tour covers 30 cities. It marks the first time they have visited the United States in years.

4,000 Irish Catholic Women Camp In Football Field To Protest British By COLIN FROST Associated Press Writer BELFAST (AP) Nearly 4,000 Roman Catholic women and children camped ovcrniiht in a football field after leaving their homes in a Belfast battle zone to protest the British Army's occupation of the area. Five more deaths Sunday pushed Northern Ireland's toll this year to 236 killed, already the worst since 232 died in sectarian battling in 1922. A land mine killed two British soldiers at Crossmaglen: a policeman and a civilian were shot in Belfast, and an 18-year-old youth died in a riot in Strabane. The Catholic women and children followed their priest, Father Jack Fitzsiinmons; out of the Lenadoon Avenue area Sunday claiming the army's show of force was "endangering their lives." The troops and gunmen of the Irish Republican Army have been squared off in the area since last Thursday. Despite army fears that the exodus was planned to clear the ground for a massive IRA attack, there were only sporadic incidents.

Father Fitzsimmons and other community leaders negotiated until after midnight with British officials in an attempt to get the troops pulled out. Meanwhile, the women and children bedded down in the open or in tents at nearby Casement Park. They left their men behind to guard their homes against looters. The Lenadoon area is a modern housing development where the IRA's 13-day cease-fire broke down last week in a row over housing allocations. Early today, troops claimed they had shot two gunmen in a squad of four that traded shots for two hours with the army across the Andersonstown Area, of which Lenadoon Avenue is part.

1. 15.02 in. Sun sets 8:25 EST Sunrises 5:02 EST Man Found Guilty In Massacre By MARCUS ELIASON Associated Press Writer LOD, Israel (AP) An Israeli army court convicted Japanese radical Kozo Okamota today for his part in the Lod Airport massacre but postponed sentencing him until later today. He is expected to get life imprisonment. The 24-year-old defendant stood and listened impassively as the verdict of the three lieutenant colonels was read.

Aftv it was translated into Japanese, he sighed deeply. He was found guilty of all four charges filed against him. Death is the maximum penalty for three of them, but Israel has executed but one person, Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichman. And the prosecution asked for a life sentence. Okamoto had pleaded guilty in court and before the trial signed a confession admitting that he and two other Japanese attacked the crowd in Israel's international airport on May 30 with machine guns and grenades, acting on behalf of a Palestine guerrilla organization.

Twenty-eight persons were killed, including the other two terrorists, and 70 were wounded.
