Trans-Alaska pipeline faces legal minefield (Continued from Page 1) holding its nine-volume, environmental impact analysis--and wondering whether a court may someday tell it the whole thing is out of date and must be done over. Judge George E. MacKinnon, vigorously dissenting from the court's decision to avoid the environmental question, calling it indefensible.

"The majority opinion," MacKinnon said, "tells the parties that on this question they should come back another day." More trouble Also tucked away in the 137-page decision was another undecided area that could cause trouble. The opinion noted that the parties argued the legality of permits and rights-of-way covering land on which Alyeska, the pipeline builder, proposes to locate such facilities as construction camps and temporary airstrips. The opinion said, however, "We have decided not to rule on these issues on this appeal, primarily because of formal applications for these rights-of-way and permits have not yet been made. The filing of such applications could thus become the signal for yet another challenge in the courts. Spokesmen for both the Interior Department, which had intended to issue permits for the pipeline to cross federal land, and the three environment groups whose lawsuits has blocked the project said Saturday they would have to study the complex decision carefully before planning their next moves.

Edward L. Patton, president of Alyeska, said the court's refusal to act on the ecology issues could take its toll in prolonged deliberation.

By PAT GASTON Not unexpectedly, the recent nosedive taken by hard red winter wheat prices on Midwest markets has brought angered outcries from farmers, elevator men and a solon or 2 from WaKeeney to Washington, D.C., most points in between and hundreds of miles on either side. The wheat price situation the market fell in the Salina area from $2.17 on Feb.

5 to 11.70 three days later has spurred a flurry of telegrams and news releases, most of them coming from the offices of 1st District Congressman Keith Sebelius, Sen. Bob Dole or organizations of wheat growers. The sudden grain price drop was not an unforeseen occurrence. It grew out of transportation snafus, weather foulups and government determination to hold the wheat price line. The force behind spectacular wheat prices which had been in effect since September was, of course, the Russian grain sale, which resulted in the quick buyup of hundreds of millions of bushels of Kansas wheat deliverable immediately.

Railroads barely able to cope with normal after-harvest wheat movement were inundated with hopper car orders to move the sold wheat as fast as possible to Gulf ports. The sudden glut of wheat triggered a car shortage which has been growing ever since. Weather proved uncooperative as well. The fall feed grain harvest was delayed by snows and muddy fields. When the grain was finally shipped to the bins, drying was hampered by propane gas shortages which developed throughout Kansas and Nebraska during severe winter cold snaps.

Elevator operators, counting on the railroads to haul out most of the wheat before the fall harvest began coming in, were forced to sit on the grain although much of it had already been sold under contract. When the teed grain harvest arrived at the bin, the hopper car shortage was compounded. Rail cars were needed to ship the feed grain as well as the wheat. The railroads fell further behind. Late last year the Commodity Credit Corporation, crop-loan agency of the U.S.

Department of Agriculture, announced it would not renew loans on farm-stored wheat, or reseal stocks of corn and feed grains. It was obvious what was coming. The CCC began releasing its wheat stocks early in 1973, turning the railroad car shortage into a near-hopeless snarl. Farmers cannot sell stored wheat to elevators, because the elevators have no place to put it. Elevator men in many cases are not able to ship out the wheat they have sold, and face bankruptcy if the wheat cannot be delivered on schedule.

It was the CCC move which outraged wheat-belt farmers and congressmen. Don Crane, president of the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers, said in a Friday telegram to President Nixon, Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz and the Kansas Congressional delegation: "Our organization expresses deep concern that the CCC has seen fit to release its grain stocks, thus overloading an already overburdened transportation system. This CCC grain movement is causing deep financial problems for our wheat producers through weakened grain markets. Many of our grain firms, both co-op and private, are subject to severe financial losses, and even possible liquidation of their assets, due to the inability to move already contracted grain. "We thereby urge you to take the action necessary to halt CCC grain movement that is competing in an already overloaded transportation system." KAWG executive board member John H.

Becker, Sylvan Grove, said it is normal for Cash crisis talks continue behind screen of silence BONN, Germany (AP) After the worst week of the dollar crisis, West German and British leaders consulted their financial aides Saturday behind a screen of silence. European central bankers met in Switzerland to seek a solution. In Germany, main battleground in a struggle affecting the dollar's future world role, Finance Minister Helmut Schmidt called in U.S. Ambassador Martin Hillenbrand, and a key aide of President Nixon on a special mission for three hours of talks. Paul A.

Volcker, assistant secretary of the treasury for monetary affairs, flew to Bonn secretly from Tokyo for the meeting. Volcker went to London later for another round of talks. The meeting came after Schmidt returned from a British-French-German crisis meeting Friday night in Paris. Two weeks of dollar dumping by speculators, totaling some $10 billion worldwide, prompted the Paris meeting and the others Saturday. Schmidt and.

Ottmar Emminger, vice president of the West German central bank met for an hour with Chancellor Willy Brandt at his Bonn home. In London, Prime Minister Edward Heath met with Chancellor of the Exchequer Anthony Barber and Sir Leslie O'Brien, governor of the Bank of England. Total secrecy was imposed on the results of all the meetings. The secrecy left unanswered these questions: --Will the Germans try to go on ing existing dollar rates despite failure so far to beat back a massive speculator attack threatening to worsen German inflation? --Will the Germans temporarily shut down their foreign exchange market Monday? Many bankers say this would be tantamount to letting the mark float upward to a level hurting German exports. The Japanese closed their exchange market Saturday to await Europe's decisions.

--Will the Germans and Japanese give up their fight to defend existing exchange rates and let the dollar in effect be devalued to a lower rate helpful for U. S. exports? --And will U. European and Japanese financial leaders schedule a meeting, as one Tokyo official predicted, to set new rates for the dollar and other currencies. After Brandt telephoned President Nixon, Heath, and President Georges Pompidou of France on Friday to seek a dollar solution, Nixon ordered a top aide to fly to Europe on Monday for more crisis talks.

The aide, former Secretary of Commerce Peter G. Peterson, is expected in Bonn by Wednesday. Foundation officers re-elected (Related stories, Pg. 36) LAWRENCE, Kan. A Trustees of the William Allen White Foundation voted Saturday to present next year's national citation to a distinguished editor or publisher at the 1974 spring meeting of the Kansas Press Association.

Roosevelt ducks out of a funds mess NEW YORK (AP) James Roosevelt, son of former President Franklin D. Roosevelt, has resigned as a director of several overseas mutual funds. Roosevelt, a former congressman from California, said his moves should not be taken as admission or denial of allegations in a Securities and Exchange Commission suit filed last November.

Frank Sinatra obviously is high-priced witness (C) New York Times WASHINGTON Frank Sinatra, the entertainer, has billed the House Select Committee on Crime for in travel and living expenses for thr? day he appeared before the committee last July. A spokesman for the committee said Sinatra declined to file an expense voucher after learning that he was entitled to $20 and commercial air fare. He had asked to be reimbursed for leasing an aircraft to attend the hearing and $750 in living expenses for the one-day appearance. The committee, which was holding hearings on organized crime's influence in horse racing, wanted to ask Sinatra about the $55,000 he had invested in the now defunct Berkshire Downs, racetrack in Hancock, the CCC to move some grain from its stocks at this time of year, to keep domestic reserves adequate. But the CCC releases this year have been far above normal.

Four years of wheat held under extended loans and reseated feed grains are now beginning to move onto the market. The price for hard red winter wheat has plummeted as a result. "I think one of the reasons for this drop," Becker said, is that it is extremely difficult for our government to explain to the rest of the world why we can sell Russia wheat for $1.63 a bushel, when others have to pay a dollar a bushel more. "Butz got caught up in something he didn't know anything about," Becker added, attempting to explain the reason behind the CCC releases. "He (Butz) plowed up wheat in the spring, and in the fall found out he.

was short on hard red winter. "There's a real possibility of hard red winter stocks for domestic use at the end of the marketing period to be zero. "I wouldn't be surprised to see Butz get the market back to where he was holding it at before the Russian deal," Becker said. That would be about $1.27 for a bushel of wheat in the Salina area. Sebelius and Dole joined the chorus of farm protest by dispatching messages to Butz calling for a halt to the CCC movement until the railroads are able to catch up with the backlog of hopper car orders.

Sebelius has promised figures next week on the extent of the current CCC releases. Farmers are said to have a long-standing distrust of big government. Many see the current CCC action as a conscious attempt to deprive them of the opportunity to deal on the open market for the best prices for their wheat. Farm experts have said the current boxcar shortage may last into the 1973 wheat harvest season. The CCC releases would seem to heighten that possibility.

Salina skydiver killed in fall (Continued from Page 1) feet, he gave the customary wave-off signal and pulled his ripcord. His 'chute opened at between 1200 and 1500 feet. Mr. Seusy came tumbling past him. "He was to hook up with me, really; as I fell, I waited and waited for him but the link failed.

Finally "I opened my chute and then I saw him some distance away and he was tumbling, a slow somersault, doubled thought I saw him struggling with his main cord. "I knew he was in trouble because the kind of main chute he was wearing will open only if you're in a certain position face down to the earth, spread out. Then I saw him pull the reserve cord, which will open at any position, but he was too low," Boyer said. The reserve chute will not work at an altitude of less than 200 feet. Snyder said Federal Aviation Administration officials who investigated said Mr.

Seusy's main rip cord never was pulled during the tragic jump. Boyer and Larry Day, 919 Sherman, a close friend of Mr. Seusy, said he was a "good "He didn't have a great number of jumps, but he was sensible and knew his limits," Boyer said. Mr. Seusy had jumped 5 times the weekend before his death twice Friday and Saturday and once Sunday.

He used his own equipment and was "very careful about the entire Day said. Mr. Seusy's wife, Susan, had made 2 parachute jumps with her husband, but did not go to Herington Friday. Mr. Seusy was a student at Kansas Technical Institute.

He enrolled last spring and was majoring in civil engineering technology. He was born Sept. 1, 1945, in Salina and was a 1963 Salina high school graduate. He served in the Army from 1963-69 and served in Vietnam in 1964 and 1965. He was a member of the VFW and the Bahai faith.

Survivors are the widow, Susan, of the home; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Seusy, 1411 Osborne; a brother, Michael, Larned, and a sister, Mrs. Phillip Walsh, Wichita. The funeral will be at 2 pm Monday at the Ryan mortuary, the Rev.

Stanley Rogge and members of the Bahai faith officiating. Burial will be in the Bavaria cemetery. Friends may call at the mortuary. Longshoremen's wage bid denied WASHINGTON A In the first major case of President Nixon's new Phase 3 wage-price restraints, the Cost of Living Council has rejected the West Coast longshoremen's bid for a wage increase. The council turned down the longshoremen's request for a 30-cent-an-hour pay raise, which had been trimmed from the union's contract by the now-defunct Pay Board almost a year ago, officials said Friday.

Cajun goofs starring role Mrs. Wendell Anderson, wife of the Minnesota governor, is" handed raccoon named Cajun in St, Paul, Minn. The raccoon was supposed to carry a document to Mrs. Anderson to symbolize her lifetime honorary membership in the Minnesota Zoological society, but he dropped it. Cajun apparently was panicked by the excitement, causing Mrs.

Anderson to panic, too. (UPI Photo) Eight civilians among first freed prisoners WASHINGTON (AP) The State Department said Saturday it has received a list of eight U.S. civilians who will be in the first group of American prisoners to be freed in South Vietnam. Secretary of State William P. Rogers personally telephoned the news to the family of one of the prisoners, that of Douglas Kent Ramsey, a foreign service officer captured by the Viet Cong in January 1966.

Ramsey was the only career diplomat on the list of eight. The other civilians were mostly U.S. aid employes and contract em- ployes. State Department spokesman Charles Bray said Rogers called Ramsey's family shortly before noon, Washington time, right after the list arrived here. The list of eight as issued by the department: Newingham, James Alton, U.S.

State Department officials said the prisoners were reported by the Viet Cong to be in generally good health. They are to be released Monday near Tay Ninh, a town northwest of Saigon close to the Cambodian border, they said.

His parents did not know until after the signing of the cease- fire agreement two weeks-ago that he was a prisoner of war instead of missing in action. The Dunns got the happy news through a family service officer at Ft. Riley..
