Nixon, who has been quietly planning his own re-election strategy with top aides during a two-week working vacation here, scheduled a session today with his budget manager, Caspar Weinberger, to talk about what surely will be one of the issues in the forthcoming political debate- spending by the Democratic-dominated Congress which the House feels aggravates inflation problems.

But he went on to say, in prepared comments: "Let's face it. Washington is not soon going to go out of the government business. That being the case, our problems and disputes with Washington require action, not reaction."

John Myers, R-Ind. Myers said Congress, should not saddle citizens with stiffer gun control laws, but should enact the stiffer criminal laws he advocates.

"I believe it is time for a rethinking of our national mores and attitudes." Myers said in a statement. "'We cannot and will not solve the crime problem until it becomes as dangerous to be a criminal as it is to be a victim." Myers said the recent assassination attempt against Alabama Gov. George C.

Brooks, who later became Mrs. Gene Robinson, Vs. Gene Robinson. Mrs. Robinson sued for $330.000 damages because of injuries she sufferd while riding as a passenger in Robinson's car.

U.S.-Soviet Deal to 34,500 BATON ROUGE, La. (UPI)President Nixon's deal with the Soviet Union to sell $750 million of American grain will create to 34,500 new jobs and help up the U.S. balance of trade, Agriculture Secretary Earl L. Butz said Monday. Butz told the Louisiana Farm Bureau Federation the the grain deal is only one of ways the Nixon Administration is helping farmers.

However, the President's farm policies are coming under fire, he says. "A critical farm policy debate is emerging, Butz said. "You have already heard its rumble. The whiff of brewing controversy is in the air. And the election year fire which heats it burns higher day by day." President Nixon has been criticized for his reluctance to clamp strict price controls on farmers.

Farmers have been exempt from most of the administration price controls. The White House announced last week the Soviet Union would purchase $750 million grain from the United States over the next three years. The deal w's described as the larg. est commercial transaction of agricultural commodities ever sold the United States. "This historic commercial transaction between the world's two leading nations is a major step in the President's determined stride down the road 10- ward a century of peace for all mankind," Butz said.

Hunter reviewed the two arguments in favor of the doctrine of interspousal immunity- that damage suita between husband and wile would tend to disrupt marriage harmony, and would tend to promote fraud and trivial litigation. court is' unpersuaded that tort actions will tend to disrupt the peace and harmony of the marriage. the opinion states. "The contention that tort actions between husband and wife will tend to promote fraud, collusion and trivial litigation, especially where insurance is invoived, is equally unpersuasive." "Having determined that the reasoning advanced for retention of the doctrine is judicially unsound, and having found that no legislative barriers to such action exist, we beteby abrogate the common law doctrine of interspousal the opinion concluded. The case was returned to the Hancock Circuit Court with instructions to vacate its judgment and "for further proceedings not inconsistent with this Create Jobs "We estimate that each $100 million in grain exports creates about 3,000 to 5,000 additional jobs-so since at least $750 million is involved, the positive impact upon the U.S.

"Assuming the Russians buy only the minimum quantities under the agreement -and fully expect them to buy moreU.S. grain exports will increase approximately 17 per cent over the 1969-71 average," Butz said. "If the Russians were to take the entire amount of grain under the agreement in corn, which we don't expect them to do, it would be the equivalent of approximately 550 million bushels of corn-and that would be 10 per cent of our record 1971 corn Lodge Notes Called meeting for July inspection of Radiant Chapter 500, Westfield Chapter 524, and Sheridan Chapter 226 O.E.S.

"A voice that operates as part of vital two day system of communications, one that has input from Indiana as well as output from Washington." Bowen recalled the fable of the blind men who described an elephant according to the portion of the beast they touched and said "many 20th Century "blind men' tend to describe all of society's problems as an expansion of the part with which they are at odds. As a result, we see single-issue candidates and splinter political groups popping up like mushrooms after a spring rain." He said that if the experience of all observers were to be "combined to aid the progress of all, perhaps we may never be able to build better elephant, but I wager we' will build a better world." then asked for a transfer to the Supreme, Court and got the doctrine of interspousal immunity more or less repealed for herself and for other women. The decision was not unanimous. Justices Donald H. Hunter, Norman F.

Arterburn and Richard M. Givan agreed with the decision to abolish the doctrine of interspousal immunity and Roger 0. DeBruler jointed them as far as their holding in this case, but not in discarding the doctrine "in all conceivable situations." Justice Dixon W. Prentice dissented but did not write an opinion. Legally, the decision favors husbands as much as wives, but in practicality, it has been the wife who most often had some complaint for which the might have sought financial judg.
