Inmates Sue over Solitary
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP)—Seven inmates at the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth have charged its administrators with holding them illegally in a solitary confinement unit—commonly called a jail cell. The state has no opportunity to answer charges which resulted in their segregation.

Police Accused of Soliciting

Finance Commissioner Patt Hanlon, a democrat, said he had asked Atty. Gen. Vern Miller to investigate his charges.

Board Says Economy Is Up
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve Board said Monday that its key industrial-production index turned in another moderate gain in June, reflecting a rise but not booming economy.

This indicator uses annual data from the Department of Labor. Although the June figures are subject to later revision, the board's report supplied no evidence of coming sharp acceleration in the economy.

Nixon Outlines Measure To Trim Wheat Surplus
Farmers will be asked to take more land from wheat production in 1973, which could boost the cost to $1.1 billion offloaded.
WASHINGTON  (AP) — Gregory L. Hack of Lawrence Monday night was elected the governor of Legion's 27th Born Nation, an annual government exercise in an federal government held at American University here. He will serve through the Born Nation a year from now.
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Nixon administration, faced with the biggest wheat surplus in nearly a decade, announced Monday a billion-dollar subsidy to help farmers trimming production next year.
That would be around $100 million more than the payment estimate for this year.
Speakman said the 1973 plan was designed to reduce the wheat surplus which the Soviet Union may any of the bread grain or not.
Moscow has agreed to purchase at least $750 million worth of U.S. grain over the next three years, but it will cover corn and other feed grains as well as wheat and there has been little talk about much wheat might be involved.
But they also will be asked to set aside an additional 10 million acres from wheat under an optional plan next year, double the existing crop.
Under the 1973 acreage "set aside" plan, the basic price support loan rate for wheat will remain at $2.65 per bushel, unchanged from this year.
That would mean a total of 25 million acres idied under the $1.9 trillion compared with about 20 million this year, including five million in development.
Agriculture Secretary Earl L. Rubenstein plan was aimed at trimming production so "producers can obtain fair rates of return" for farms.
Officials did not announce that the program was but indicated the program was expected to reduce surplus stocks by about 100 million bushels.
To qualify for supports and direct "certificate" payments, farmers will have to idle about 10 million acres, the same as in 1972.

McGovern professes to have information the Defense Chief has on any other sources within government, is not available to all of our allies or to any of the governments that we have been charged with.

Laird said McGovern's proposed defense budget called for cancellation of the F15 fighter, and added:
"I am led to believe, however, that perhaps the new vice-president has agreed this agreement to run, has been able to get a modification of the decision of the presidential board that particular contract."
