The blue- chip average lost more than 36 points in the previous five sessions, including 8.56 Tuesday.

His wife, Kathy, 25, reportedly suffered a broken right arm and severe cuts around her right eye. The Cowens were taken to Asbury and later transferred to the Irwin Army hospital at Ft.

Cowert's injuries probably could have been taken care of in a hospital emergency room. "But with a broken neck, you'd think the husband would have been admitted somewhere." a nurse said. Lawmen said the Cowen vehicle was easlbound on North Street and an auto driven by Richard K. Oberg, Olathe. was headed southwest on Broadway when the 2 vehicles met at the intersection.

Oberg declined treatment for a cut to his lower leg. At the scene, police were told Cowen was to be stationed at Ft. Riley.

Maddox could trim Carter vote CHICAGO I A possible third party presidential bid by former Georgia Gov. Lester Maddox would trim the Southern support of Jimmy Carter, according to the chairman of the American Independent Party. The AIP, meeting in Chicago to choose a conservative challenger for Carter and President Ford, laid the foundations for its convention and campaign Wednesday with meetings of the platform and credentials committees. Maddox, who announced his candidacy for the AIP presidential nomination Monday, could have his name on the ballot in more than 30 states if successful and registration predictions by party officials pan out.

AIP Chairman William K. Shearer said Tuesday Maddox would have a good chance against Carter in three Southern states. Shearer told a news conference kicking off the party's third presidential nominating convention Tuesday that if Maddox gets the AIP nomination, he "would certainly cut in on Carter in the South" and would be "in the running" against him in Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee.

Sugar prices to stay low WASHINGTON I Agriculture Department economists predicted Wednesday that sugar prices, have slumped 40 per cent since early July, are likely to remain low until analysts get firm indications of the prospective size of 1977 crops. Experts said in a report the price of raw sugar, which stood at 16.6 cents a pound on July 6, declined to 9.88 cents a pound Monday "a significant decline from the relatively stable price levels of recent months." Prices from January through July had averaged 15.35 cents a pound compared with 22.47 cents last year. Analysts said the declines were due to indications that 1976 production, which will be marketed during the 1976-77 season, will exceed world demand.

This will produce push world carryover stocks by the end of the 1976-77 seaon to 20-25 per cent of annual consumption, in contrast to the 20 per cent carryover at the end of 197576, officials said..
