(AP) About 800 farmers drove about 200 tractors, combines and pickup trucks through downtown Topeka Sunday to dramatize their call for a Dec. 14 strike for higher farm prices. During the strike, planned by a newly-formed Colorado organization called the American Agriculture Movement, farmers would be asked not to sell their crops, produce food or purchase goods. The farmers are calling for 100 per cent parity in farm prices. Parity is figured by a statistical process designed to give farmers the purchasing pow er they had during past periods of farm prosperity.

Jay Boydstun, a Campo, farmer, said the recently enacted farm bill "guarantees us a built-in loss. We know we're going to have a loss under the current farm program." The organization said the farmers at the rally came from Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and Iowa. They paraded through downtown Topeka to Municipal Auditorium, where a rally was held. About 1,000 people attended the rally. Boydstun said the strike would "definitely" work.

Young said some South Africans might look upon nuclear weapons as providing security, but if they exploded such a device a number of their neighbors "would immediately try to get nuclear weapons from anywhere they could." Young said. "I think by maintaining some kind of relationship we do have the possibility of influencing them to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and accepting all of the safeguards that go with the International Atomic Energy Agency" He said the only way the United States could monitor South Africa's nuclear development "is to keep some relationship." "If you break the relationship altogether, there is no way to monitor and it is almost because you can't simpler at solar minimum," Suggs said, "and therefore easier to understand on our first investigation." One objective is to study the sun's convection layer, as explained in the scientific report on the mission: "Energy is brought to the surface of the sun, to be radiated into space, by fluid motions in the outer layer of the sun, the convection layer. Our climate and thus life on Earth are dependent on the physics of the convection layer, and we are in need of understanding it.

Indeed, there is tantalizing evidence that in the historical past the fluid motions in the convection layer changed, with resulting climate changes on Earth." Other objectives are to observe the solar corona, the outermost atmosphere of a star, from a new perspective, to examine galactic cosmic rays and to study the evolution of sun spots.

This, he said was "one of the reasons why we feel that our response sought to focus on the specific events of last week and try to correct them, rather than try to go wholesale at the generic causes of the problem." Young, appearing on ABC's "Issues and Answers," reflected the administration's concern that if South Africa felt itself totally isolated it might develop nuclear weapons as a last resort. Some officials have speculated that the growing ties between Israel and South Africa may involve exchanges of nuclear technology as well, since both are believed to have the capacity to detonate atomic de AU. (An AU, or astronomical unit, is the mean distance between Earth and the sun.) The north polar craft will spend 110 days observing above the sun's 60-degree latitude before swinging down over the southern solar hemisphere.

The south polar craft is to move into an orbit that is a near mirror image of its northward companion. Instruments for the craft have not been chosen, but Eric E. Suggs, the project's study manager at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said that they would undoubtedly include magnetometers, plasma spectrometers, charged particle detectors, X-ray and ultraviolet ray monitors and telescopes and coro-nagraphs. Suggs said the four-and-one-half-year mission was timed not only to take advantage of Jupiter's gravity force but also to coincide with one of the sun's regular quiet periods.

In this way, the craft will climb far above the planetary plane and head back toward the sun. A similar maneuver is to send the second craft on a course below the plane. The gravity-assist technique for redirecting and boosting a spacecraft has been successfully used by Pioneer 11, now well past Jupiter on the way to Saturn, and Mariner 10, which used the gravity of Venus to reach Mercury for the first close-up reconnaisance of that planet. Both solar polar craft will keep a respectful distance from the sun. The northward-moving spacecraft should begin observing the sun's north polar regions in September 1986 at a distance of 1.3 AU from the sun, and will never be closer than .75 erlif ting meet at Iowa Lakes Community College in Estherville.

"We just kind of laugh at them." Dillard, ho stands 5-foot-2 and weighs 114 pounds, was one of four women competing in the event, which drew weightlifters from six midwestern states. She says she unofficially holds a women's world record in her weight category for having lifted 360 pounds in the "dead lift" (up to the knees) category. On Saturday, she broke an Iowa men's record for her weight class when she "squat lifted" 225 pounds. Dillard took up the sport last winter "because my boyfriend was doing it." KAREN HOFMEYER, 23, a sophomore at the community college, competes in the 132-pound class. She said that when the women joined the previously all-men's team a few months ago, "the guys were kind of cold.

But then they realized we were serious. Now we all help each other." "They know we're serious," said JILL ROGHAIR, a 20-year-old freshman. "We work out with them for about an hour and a half a night, five nights a week." MONTE LOFING, competing against Dillard in the 114-pound class for the University of Nebraska, said "she's good. We should beat her, but she's strong." "Once women get over their attitude that they'll become musclebound which they can't they do just fine," said DAN McKNIGHT, who helps coach the ILCC lifters. He said the women provide a psychological push to the men on the team.

(AP) TOM FLETCHER builds mansions for a living, and his work could be hard on his waistline. Fletcher, with the help of his dog, Poikin, has devoured four and one-half five-pound cans of Almond Roca candy so he can use the gold foil candy wrappers for wallpaper in the foyers of some of his stately homes dollhouses. The dollhouses, some more than eight feet tall, range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand or, as Fletcher says, "whatever the market will bear." But few of Fletcher's dollhouse decorations require as much preparatory digestion as the gold foil wallpaper.

Fletcher, 29, currently is work ing on an 8V4-foot-tall, 30-room mansion with a wood-tiled roof, outdoor staircase, inlaid wood floors, glass windows, spires, a widow's walk, cooks' quarters, a pillared front, library, observatory, ballroom and fantasy paintings and furnishings. trust them that you have to stay close to them," he said. The United States has supplied South Africa with a nuclear research reactor at Pelindaba, 20 miles west of Pretoria, that was installed in 1965. The reactor has been fueled with enriched uranium supplied by the United States. The fuel, the reactor and any material produced in it have all been subject to International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards, which the United States believes have been applied effectively, to ensure that no nuclear explosives have been produced there.

The spent fuel has then been returned to the United States. The administration's main concern has been over the South African decision in 1973 to build its own pilot plant to enrich uranium, and its refusal, ostensibly to protect commercial secrets, to put that plant under international control. This has raised the possibility that the South Africans could produce their own weapons-grade nuclear material, The country already possesses 20 percent of the world's raw uranium reserves. The issue became acute last summer when Soviet and Western intelligence agencies reported that unusual activity was taking place in the Kalahari Desert. This led to diplomatic exchanges, accusations by Moscow and Paris that South Africa was planning a nuclear explosion, concerted Western diplomatic pressure on the Pretoria government and a news conference statement by President Carter on Aug.

23 that he had been assured by Prime Minister John Vorster that South Africa did not intend to conduct such tests. Vorster and Carter last week engaged in a further public exchange when the South African leader denied promising the United States he would never produce nuclear weapons, and the White House produced a letter from Vorster that seemed to suggest he had in fact made such a promise.

DIXY LEE RAY are among 10 women selected by Harper's Bazaar magazine as the most powerful women in America. The magazine reports in its November issue the 10 women were chosen partly because they have "overcome formidable odds (by) boldly invading traditionally maie-dorninated areas." Their talents, the magazine said, "havf. transformed institutions, created corporate empires, effected social change and, by example, helped enhance the status and power of women everywhere." The other women named were: CHARLOTTE CURTIS, "the first woman to earn masthead status" at The New York Times and currently editor of its Op-Ed Page. A newspaper's masthead, which generally appears on the editorial page, lists top executives of the paper. LADY BIRD JOHNSON, "a spirited and tenacious campaigner for dozens of environmental projects." ABCs BARBARA WALTERS, "the first woman to co-anchor a prime-time network newscast," who also holds a five-year contract with ABC for a reported $1 million a year.

MARY WELLS LAWRENCE, founder, chief executive officer and board chairman of Wells, Rich, Greene, "one of the nation's top-ranking advertising and marketing agencies." SARAH CALDWELL, conductor of the Opera Company of Boston, who was cited for "a shrewd business sense that complements her artistic genius." First Lady ROSALYNN CARTER, who "rallied support for her long-standing drive to upgrade mental health." BILLIE JEAN KING, who was the first woman athlete to earn more than $100,000 in a single season and "almost single-handedly established (tennis) as a popular spectator sport." "After only four years in the House of Representatives, Barbara Jordan already commands more national recognition than most of her colleagues can look forward to in a lifetime," Harper's Bazaar said.
