AJ THE NEW MEXICAN Santa Fe.N.M., Dec. 5, 1977 Riots in Bermuda subside HAMILTON, Bermuda (AP) British troops armed with rifles and machine guns deployed in Bermuda today for the first time in nearly 10 years, but rioting to protest the execution of two blacks for political murders already had ended. British commanders said 260 troops had been brought in from bases in Belize, in Central America, and England to back up the 900 men of the local police force and the Bermuda Regiment. The British island colony was calm all day Sunday, and only three fire bombs exploded Sunday night, in a truck and a vacant house in Hamilton and at a reform school 12 miles outside the city. No casualties were reported.

I think the steam has gone out of it, said Police Inspector Allan Lister. A dusk-to-dawn curfew remained in effect. Black youths rioted and hurled fire bombs Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights to protest the hanging Friday of two black terrorists convicted of murdering the British governor and his aide, the British police chief and two white supermarket owners in 1972-73. It was Bermudas first executions in 31 years. The rioters were estimated to have done $5 million worth of damage, but no serious injuries have been reported.

Three persons, including two Americans, died in a fire at the Southampton Princess Hotel Thursday night during the first riot; but the rioting and the hotel were seven miles apart, and officials said they had been unable to determine yet whether there was any connection. Lois Brown Evans, leader of the predominantly black opposition Labor party, charged at a news conference that Prime Minister David Gibbons and Governor Sir Peter Ram-sbotham over-reacted by calling in the British troops and that their presence would create more tension. There also was resentment among some black soldiers of the Bermuda Regiment. Hamiltons downtown streets were virtually deserted Sunday although some tourists were out with cameras and tennis rackets. Many of the 3,000 tourists were cutting their holidays short because of the inconvenience of being confined to their hotels at dusk.

Many restaurants and shops were closing hours before the curfew. The government still refused to identify the two Americans killed in the hotel fire. But Peter Baur of Philadelphia, said officials had notified his family that one of them was his granduncle, George B. Gandy, 61, of Ambler, and the other was believed to be his grandmother, Dorothy Jean Joyce, 71. WlA i vEL To boost farm economy More farm exports urged years, provides commercial credit to qualified countries to buy U.S.

farm products. The loans must be repaid in annual installments, plus interest, within a maximum of three years. I believe wheat export programs to some countries could be expanded if the governments of recipient nations and the U.S. could agree to financing revisions perhaps even going as far as new legislative authority to finance export sales in. excess of three years, Laserson said.

The grain officials WASHINGTON (AP) An officer of one of the nations largest grain companies today called for stepped-up efforts by the federal government to boost U.S. farm exports and pump new life into the agricultural economy. Myron R. Laserson, senior vice president of Continental Grain Co. for North America, said that an export credit program operated by the Agriculture Department could be remodeled to enable larger sales of U.S.

wheat overseas. The program, which has existed for more than 20 grain to needy countries. In addition, new Title III (in Food for Peace law) using food for development was added to encourage recipient nations to increase their agricultural development and economic programs, including nutritional programs, on a long-term basis, Bergland said. Mail Pillars NASSAU, Bahamas (UPI)-While the U.S. has mail boxes, Nassau has mail pillars London-style cylinder-shaped receptacles dating back to the first Bahamas postage stamp, around 1859.

Postmen in red and black vans collect mail from the 11 mail pillars in Nassau twice a day. British troops find Bermuda quiet Laserson said that the United States should help India and other developing countries build an adeuate pipeline for moving food to needy people during times when their crops are meager or fail altogether. Some of what Laserson proposed is in the works. For example, the Carter administration recently announced that the export credit allocation for the 1977-78 fiscal year which began Oct. 1 has been doubled, from $750 million to $1.5 billion.

Agriculture Secretary Bob Bergland said in Kansas City, last week that major changes also have been made in the Food for Peace program also called P.L. 480 which can help move additional U.S. Search of Atlantic continues for yawl Washington Associated of Wheat Growers, Spokane. Texts of his speech were made available here. Laserson noted that India, once greatly dependent upon U.S.

food aid, has joined the ranks of grain exporters 'but primarily because it has inadequate facilities to prevent spoilage of its total grain inventory.

The search, which began Saturday, covered 44,000 square miles of ocean, and a Coast Guard spokesman said the search was expected to cover about 69,000 square miles Sunday. The spokesman said the search would resume Monday morning if the boat was not spotted by dusk Sunday. The sailing yacht, the whitehulled LAvenir, is owned by Robert Merriken, 27, of Pasadena, Md. It sailed Nov. 20 from a dock near Annapolis, Md.

Todays stocks By Louise Cook AaoeUled Pre Writer Americans still spend the biggest chunk of their food -HANDS- NEW YORK (AP) The stock market declined slightly today in a session that mirrored Fridays ive WaU The Dow Jones of Continued from Page A-l The contests, which have been held since 1904 at the time of the national conventions, are in several parts. One part of the test is a 280-word-per-minute timed dictation. Varallo, who said that he has practiced at 300 words a minute, was scored at 100 percent accuracy on the dictation test one year. The etiquette is that if you win three times consecutively, you retire from competition, Varallo said.

He will, however, be considered the speed champ until someone else retires a trophy. High speed shorthand is at least 99 percent mental effort, he said. If youve got enough digital dexterity to tie your shoes you can train your fingers. A good vocabulary and a good knowledge of the English language are very important. Varallo said that he used to regret not having a college education, but that he now feels that he has gotten as much from his years as a court reporter.

You get a working knowledge of a lot of things, he said. Ive had to record very technical testimony from chemists, engineers, doctors, and in this case, economic and financial people. Varallos speed is useful for a number of reasons, one of the most important being that he is able to listen as well as record. I would say that I retain whats going on as well as anyone in the courtroom, he said. Thats the big advantage in using just one reporter to do all the work because when people start mumbling, it helps a great deal to know whats being talked about.

Varallo has two children by his first marriage who live in Delaware with their mother. His second wife is also a court reporter who owns her own business in Tampa. He estimated that he is out of town at least six months out of the year. This is only Varallos second trial this year, however. Most of what I do is discovery deposition work and I havent been in a criminal court in years, he said.

"Usually the kind of cases I work on are corporate like this one. said that curiosity, rather boredom, is the major problem encounters in his work. The work tedious, with great attention paid to but were too busy to get bored pays well, he said. The is that our job ends at the end trial and we never find out what Ive only found out the of about 10 percent of the cases worked on. said that a good court should be able to write 250 a minute to do a first-class job.

if a witness doesnt talk that theres the problem of overlapping where the witness will to answer a question before the has finished asking it. You have to be able to carry many as 20 words in the space of seconds, he said. Varallo and his team are generally pleased with their job here. All we complain about how tough it said.

Thats one of the findings of a U.S.

Department of Agriculture study based on surveys conducted by Supermarketing, a trade publication, in 1965 and 1975. The USDA looked at what happens to every $100 you spend on food. Heres how the 1975 breakdown worked out: Fresh, unprocessed foods (milk, cream, meat, poultry, seafood, nuts, eggs, vegetables and fruit) $45.75. Mixes and mixtures, described as ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat: $19.98. Foods like bacon, macaroni products and oils that are cured, frozen, canned, dried or only slightly refined: $17.31.

Modified products with sugar or some other minor' ingredient added: $9.27. Accessories like coffee, tea, cocoa, soft drinks and condiments: $7.69. When the figures were compared with 1965 statistics, the USDA found that the percentage of money spent on the first three categories fresh foods, mixes and mixtures and frozen, canned, cured, etc. products had decreased slightly over the decade. Spending accessories increased slightly.

The big increase came in the category of items like frankfurters, peanut butter and process cheese which are described the government as modified. The share of the food dollar taken by these items increased 11 percent from 1965 to 1975. A look at individual items within-the five categories showed some sharp changes.
