Washington Says
Wheat Deal
Is Good News
WASHINGTON W> — U. S. offi
cials see some grains of sunshine
in Canada’s sale of $500 million
worth of wheat to the Soviet
Union.
They believe the deal — the
biggest commercial wheat trans
action in history — will brighten
prospects for larger U. S. wheat
sales abroad and dramatize Com
munist farm failures.
Under the agreement announced
in Ottawa Monday. Canada will
sell Russia 228 million bushels of
wheat over the next lOVfc months.
Part of the deal involves ship
ment of $33 million of the wheat
directly to Cuba.
Sen. Kenneth eKating, R-N. Y..
termed this “a shocking breach” of
Western Hemisphere efforts to iso
late the Castro regime and called
for a strong U. S. protest.
Kennedy Administration sour
ces indicated, however, that Wash
ington would not lodge a com
plaint. They said Canada had in
formed the United States of the
agreement shortly before it was
signed.
Traditionally Russia has been an
exporter of wheat and Premier
Khrushchev even boasted that the
Soviet Union’s agriculture would
overtake that of the United States
by 1963.
The explanation from the Krem
lin for the big order of wheat was
that bad weather had hurt this
year’s crop.

Failed in Leadership
ACCORD, N. Y _ Gov.
Nelson A. Rockefeller of New j
York says the “will to resist Com- !
munism has been eroded every
where” as a result of actions by
President Kennedy’s Democratic
Administration.
The Governor, who is expected
to announce soon his candidacy
for the 1964 Republican Presiden
tial nomination, said “Our atti
tudes in dealing with the Commu
nist leaders throughout the world
without consulting our allied part
ners” were responsible.
In a speech to more than 1,300
persons at the annual dinner of
the Ulster County Republican com
mittee Monday night. Rockefeller
said “There is only one alterna
tive to what’s going on in Wash
ington today and that is a Repub
licap victory in 1964.”
Rockefeller charged that the
l K e n n e d y Administration had
“failed in terms of leadership and
action in solving major problems.”
Rockefeller did not specify what
he meant by U. S. attitudes in
dealing with Communist leaders.
The Governor did not refer to
his political plans.

Khrushchev Scolds
Farmers for Crop Loss
By GEORGE SYVERTSEN
MOSCOW W — Angry over an
other poor harvest, Soviet Premier
Khrushchev has berated farmers 1
for inefficiency and assailed bur
eaucrats for exporting fertilizer
when it is needed for Soviet fields.
“We export mineral fertilizers
because our economists haven’t yet
learned to calculate realistically
what this costs,” he told a farm
meeting in Volgograd — formerly
Stalingrad.
“If they calculated, then they
would see that it would be better
to put a ton of these fertilizers in
the earth. It would be more eco
nomical to export the grain re
ceived than mineral fertilizers. And
only after we have fully satisfied
our domestic needs for mineral
fertilizers can we then export
them.”
Khrushchev spoke Monday, the
day Canada signed a S500-million
deal to sell 218 million bushels of
wheat to the Soviet Union. The
Soviet press and radio have not
told the Russian people about the
wheat deal, made necessary by the
failures of Soviet agriculture.
Khrushchev clearly was in a sour
mood when he addressed the far
mers. When one asked for addi
tional irrigation pipes, he snapped:
“I didn’t come to you from the
supply section. Pipe is not the
question we ought to be occupying
ourselves with now.”
Some scientists believe Africa,
India, Australia and Antarctica
once all belonged to the same
giant continent—but drifted apart.
