Farmers rally, call for strike
TOPEKA (AP)—About 800 farmers, driving approximately 200 tractors, combines and pickup trucks, paraded downtown yesterday 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, farmland owners and farmers 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 same purchasing power they had during past periods of farm prosperity.
Jav Bovdstun, a Campo, Colo., farmer
said the recently enacted farm bill guaranteed farmers losses.
"We know we're going to have a loss under the current farm program," he said.
About 1,000 attended the rally.
Boydstun said the strike would definitely work.
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.
"If we don't produce there will be a shortage." he said.
He said a world surplus of wheat would
not prevent the strike from having an effect because farmers own the surplus.
He said there would be little impact on consumers if farm prices make up a small part of food prices.
He added there was less than two and one-half cents worth of wheat in a loaf of bread.
In the rally's keynote address, Charles Sharp Jr., a La Belle, Mo. farmer, said farmers were to blame for their problems because they had not united to solve them.
He compared the farmers' position with that of Arab oil exporting nations and said farmers should threaten to cut subsidies unless they received higher prices.
Puerto Rican nationalists protest
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Nearly 1,000 chanting demonstrators marched in front of the White House yesterday, demanding independence for Puerto Rico and freedom for four nationalists jailed for violent attacks in the 1950s.
It was the 27th anniversary of the first attack, on Oct. 30, 1950, at Blair House where President Harry Truman was living and who were across the street from the White House.
Leaders of the group ask that the march be conducted in a nonviolent manner and the participants are not forced to participate.
The demonstrators, watched closely by dozens of police and secret service agents, blocked passage on the sidewalk along Pennsylvania Avenue as they marched back and forth carrying banners and shouting, "Pree Puerto Rico, free the four," Jimmy Carter was on his weekend retreat at Camp David during the demonstration.
They sought independence for Puerto
Rico and the unconditional prison release of the four nationalists jailed either since the 1960 attack, in which a security guard and a nationalist were killed, or since a 1954 attack on the House of Representatives in which four congressmen were wounded.
Carter recently granted unconditional amnesty to a fifth convicted nationalist, Andres Cordero, who was jailed after the House incident. Cordero is dying of cancer.
ROSA BORENSTEIN, executive secretary of the Puerto Rico Solidarity Committee, which sponsored the protest, said the other four "have been jailed for an unusually long period of time . . . and we have done everything environment right now is political persecution.
She said all of the prisoners had been offered either parole or sentence commutation, but each time "they have been told they will only be eligible if they renounce their political belief, which is independence for Puerto Rico."
26 black guerrillas killed in Rhodesian border war
SALIBURY, Rhodesia (UPI)—Rhodesian troops fought Zambian soldiers in heavy daylong border clashes and killed 26 black nationalist guerrillas infiltrating into Rhodesia, the military command said yesterday.
"There have been no security forces casualties but some damage has been caused to buildings and two vehicles" as a response. Zambian attacks, the communiqué said.
An evening communique said Zambian troops using mortars, machine guns and small arms launched heavy attacks against Kuzuki forces early Saturday at Kazunau.

The military command declined to say where the clashes took place.

THE HOUSE WANTS to limit federally tranced abortions to causes in which a woman's will is defeated.
Borenstein said the terrorist acts in the 1960s were in response to "an all-out repressive attack on the Puerto Rican independence movement on the island," in which 2,000 dissidents were jailed in overnight roundups.
The latest deaths raised the number of guerrillas killed in the past five years to 1,975. The second pushed the thick civilian death toll to 1,977. The security forces death toll stands at 442.
Congressional leaders have said the employees would not be forced to go without pay while the debate over abortion continues. This means that if no agreement is reached today, a second continuing resolution probably will be passed.
Funding for the agencies, which employ about 240,000 people, technically run out of money.
She identified the four jailed nationalists as Oscar Collazo, sentenced to life imprisonment after the 1950 episode, and three others arrested after the 1964 incident: Lolita Lebron, sentenced to 18 to 75 years; Kate Fioras, sentenced to 25 to 75 years.
The Senate, however, wants broader coverage, insisting that the health of the woman and fetus be considered and that all rape and incest cases be included.
The resolution was passed Oct. 13, when it became clear Congress could not agree immediately on an abortion policy. Without the resolution, employees at the Departments of Labor and Health, Education and Welfare and some smaller, related agencies would have gone without full paychecks until the issue was resolved.
A compromise would affect abortion payments made only during fiscal 1978, 1982 and 1983.

Congress also resumes debate on a national energy program. The Senate is ready to take up the tax portions of the bill it is writing.
Meeting in an unusual Saturday session, the Senate refused to rule out approval of some form of crude oil tax, which President Jimmy Carter has said is essential to his administration.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Still deadlocked over a national energy program, Congress today will try to break an impasse over the federal agency's paychecks for thousands of federal employees.
House and Senate conferences have been arguing since July over guidelines for federal funding of abortions—the most controversial portion of a bill that will govern health care programs for the poor during the next year.
Conferences planned to meet today in hopes of resolving their differences. On their agenda is a resolution temporarily ending the demands and salaries for social service agencies.
It also voted to retain a tax bread for millions of motorists by rejecting a proposal to repeal the federal income tax deduction allowed for state and local gasoline taxes.
Senate Democrat Leader Robert C. Byrd said Congress probably would not complete work on the energy bill before Nov. 22, and President Carter might want to follow his own advice and postpone his 11nation trip, which was to begin on that date.
House and Senate energy conferences were to try to break an impasse over a Senate-proposed ban on the manufacture of fuel-imperfect cars. The ban would begin in
A WHITE HOUSE spokeswoman said yesterday that he said if they were told the bill he was paying the bill he was paid.
Abortion stalls Congress
Illegal gifts to Carter reported

Newsweek said the investigation was continuing despite denials by Younge, Lance
The magazine said Thewis was able to transfer from the Federal Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Ind., to a medical facility in Lexington, Ky.
It adds that, Young, who represented Thevis' congressional district, wrote letters to prison officials on Thevis' behalf but a few years later he was sentenced thought Thevis had a "humanitarian case."
The magazine said an informant who was a prison friend of the businessman, Michael W. Blum, served as an informant for donations of $150,000 and $250,000, respectively, were funneled through Bert Lance, who recently quit as Carter's budget manager. The newspaper says a congressman and now U.N. ambassador.
NEEWICK SAYS THEvis ran a $100-million enterprise dealing in automobiles, liquor, food, movies and records—but that his operations were funded by profits from pornography. He was convicted in 1975 on federal obscenity charges.
NEW YORK (UPI) — The Justice Department is looking into charges that a convicted Atlanta businessman tried to bribe his way out of prison with $400,000 in illegal gifts to President Jimmy Carter's campaign. Newsweek reported yesterday.
A federal investigator was quoted as describing the denials as "premature" because the investigation is not over. However, the investigator added, "Three weeks from now, those public statements may be exactly correct."

A Justice Department official remarked than Young, at worst, had shown poor judgment in writing one of the letters on his U.N. letter, Newsweek said.

Conferences have been meeting for two weeks without settling any major differences between the House and Senate bills. The House has agreed to most of Carter's recommendations, but the Senate has abandoned a large portion of them.
