Commissioners to meet
Deaf Smith Counoty Commissioners will meet Monday at 10 a m.
to bear a report of Chamber of Commerce Executive Vice President
WASHINGTON (AP) - It has been
less than a year since Congress, with
a leap of faith and a sigh of relief,
produced a new law to guide the na-
tion's farm policy through 1990.
That policy would be expensive,
the lawmakers warned, and would
not produce results overnight. But it
would, they said, return America's
farmers to prosperity by the end of
its five-year run by re-establishing
their competitive edge among the
world’s commodity producers.
So why is Congress abuzz already
with talk of a new farm bill?
"There is an election coming up.”
said Agriculture Secretary Richard
Lyng, in response to a similar ques-
tion last week.
In particular, there is an election
coming up that will determine
whether Republicans retain their
slim control of the Senate, an elec-
tion that hinges in large measure on
the outcome of cliffhanger votes in
several farm states.
The situation has produced a
stampede to see who can do the most,
or at least talk about doing the most,
for farmers.
Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole,
R-Kan., is one of those most concern-
ed. Dole has been searching for ways
to help some of his most endangered
troops — including Sens. James Abd-
Some of the House negotiators
disputed those figures.
The final negotiations between the
two houses may hinge on 1987 spen-
ding cuts for state colleges and
universities.
The House on Tuesday proposed to
make 9 percent cuts in higher educa-
tion budgets, instead of the original
13 percent cut. On Wednesday, the
Senate offered to make 4.5 percent
cuts in higher education, instead of
the 2.5 percent originally proposed.

In Moscow, meanwhile, Gor-

Daniloff for the first time, branding

respondent a spy and suggesting the
United States had exploited the case
to try to spoil superpower relations.
As tensions rose, the Soviets ex-
changed barbs with the Reagan ad-
ministration over a U.S. order that 25
Soviet diplomats assigned to the
U.N. leave the country by Oct. 1.
Shevardnadze, on his arrival
Thursday at Andrews Air Force
Base outside Washington, called the
expulsion illegal and also "a bad
decision."
In New York, the chief Soviet U.N.
delegate. Alexander Belonogov, said
the Soviets already had cut their mis-
sion to 208, which is 10 below the
demanded level. He claimed the U.S.
order was aimed at torpedoing a
U.S.-Soviet summit.
Ruland also will inform the commissioners on changes in election
judges and alternatives.
Also on Monday’s agenda will be plans for the burial of the Ses-
quicentennial time capsule to take place on the courthouse lawn.

sin — win farmers' favor.
Nine months into the new farm law
there has been little sign of an im-
mediate turnaround in the
agricultural economy, and
Republicans are worried that in
some close races that issue could
determine the outcome. Any
dissatisfaction among farm voters
would tend to penalize incumbents.
Dole, together with other GOP
lawmakers, has been putting
together a farm package with an ex-
panded export subsidy for wheat,
soybeans and corn as its centerpiece.
The subsidy, similar to one already
in effect for cotton and rice, would
permit farmers to sell their grains at
whatever the market would bring
while guaranteeing them a higher
price, with the difference made up
from the Treasury. The new subsidy,
if it follows the pattern of cotton and
rice, would be exempt from the
$50,000-per-farmer payment limit.
Dole hasn’t formally introduced
his package yet, in part because of a
snag: It would cost $5.5 billion. “I’m
not going to just toss it out here
without some way to pay for it,” Dole
said.
Money is not a problem, however,
with a package to be introduced by a
group of farm-state Democrats next
week.
That bill, to be unveiled Tuesday
by Sen. Tom Harkin, DHowa, and
Rep. Richard Gephardt, D-Mo., is a
classic supply management ap-
proach, diametrically opposed to ad-
ministration philosophy.
The bill would call for a referen-
dum among fanners of the major
crops on whether to cut their output
enough to do away with surpluses
and drive prices up. If approved, the
referendum would require all
farmers to cut their acreage by
about 35 percent. Backers say that
would produce commodity prices at
