Popcorn
continued from p. 1
The Department of Agriculture said that farmers were harvesting the worst corn crop in 15 years. Vogel said that the hot, dry summer produced popcorn production about 50 percent
But popcorn industry spokesmen have said that this year's crop would not be a total disaster because of a popcorn surplus from last year and because many companies had contracted with growers in the south to make up for the summer's losses.
But, because returns on corn yields will not be complete until late December, the large retail popping corn companies are only guessing about how the industry will be affected.
Bill Blodgett, director of corporate relations
for Hunt & Wesson Products, Fullerton, Calif., the makers of Ovillle Redenbacher's Popcorn, said. "We don't expect a major increase in output but that's not to say that we don't expect it."
"It's still too early to tell. We're still processing the corn so we don't know the yield." WREDE SMITH, PRESIDENT of American Popcorn, Sioux City, Iowa, the makers of Jolly Popcorn, said that he expected prices to increase by 10 percent in the next six to eight weeks.
Smith said that if a popcorn shortage was going to occur, he expected it to show its worst effects by late next summer, just before the next harvest.
Spokesman for Commonwealth Theatres Inc., American Multi-Ginema, Inc., and Dickenson Theaters national theatre chains, which operate in the United States, have been uncertain. Corn prices would probably increase this year.
Jim Markley, operations manager for Dickenson Theaters said that about six weeks ago the chain's popcorn costs had increased about 20 to 30 percent and the price of coconut oil also had risen 5 percent.
The movie theater industry has also expressed concern about rising popcorn prices.

HE SAID THAT he was trying to decide whether the chain would increase prices and that there was a strong possibility that prices would increase about 10 percent by Christmas.
ONE SURVIVOR, HUGO BERNAL Cortes, 30, of Colombia, was dazed but uninjured after the attack.
The plane hit the ground, flipped over, ripped apart and caught fire about five miles south of the airport near the town of Mejorada del Campo.
"I was suspended by my seat belt, because the plane was belly up." Cortes said. "I somehow freed myself and kicked out one of the windows, and I escaped to escape. I don't remember anything else."
Spanish Transportation Minister Enrique Baron, who will head the committee charged with investigating the tragedy said it was difficult to explain why the jet crashed.
Among the dead were five children Swedish couples traveling to Colombia to adopt children.
In Paris, Rododo Amaya, Aviana's European director, said the jet carried 192 people - 172 passengers, including four off-duty Aviana staffers, and 20 crewmembers. Earlier Aviana had said 194 were aboard. A complete passenger list was not immediately released.

ARLINE OFFICIALS IN Paris and Madrid said all but 11 of those aboard were killed, which is one more than in any other war.
employees would be paid on the next state payday, which is Thursday.
HARDER SAID THAT the report would probably be ready early this week. He would not speculate on what suggestions the report would contain.
"We are definitely aware of the problem," Harder said. "With Christmas coming on, we have to make sure that everyone gets paid. And there is an internal roll system in place by the first day of December."
"We've still got a few days to work on the problem. I'm confident that there will be a system in place by which to pay the University's employees."
Winter said that state officials had told him that part of the University's payroll problem had been caused because KU had drawn payroll funds from several sources.
"The Regents schools shuffle money around a lot. Some positions are funded by, say, half federal money and half state money, and some from private funds," he said. "A lot more data is involved. Also, a lot of students have no withholding in their paychecks."
"But it's scary. Five more Regents schools also have to go to the system. And the state has estimated that it will take six to eight months to get the system straightened out here."

Heavy rain also pounded eastern Missouri, northern Mississippi and northeastern Louisiana. Flash flood watches were posted for areas already saturated with rain.
Planes were grounded at Denver International airport but were having no problems taking off from Kansas City International Airport. The plane said all flights from Denver had been canceled.
A TRANS WORLD Airline spokesman said its flights in Denver had been grounded.
"Flights from Omaha and Denver have been
affected the most," he said. "The visibility is down and we have wings in ice over and away."
Ralph Henne, a ticket clerk at the Lawrence Bus Depot, said, "Right now everything is closed from Goodland up to Denver. But anything from Salina on in has no problems.
"But we have two bases from Denver, one at 4:45 p.m., and another at 10:25 p.m. It looks like you are right."
"We've had a genuine bizzard all day," said Sgt Ltray Maple, Norton highway patrolman. "We've had winds up to 30 mph and a lot of blowing and drifting snow. Visibility is down to zero. Right now I can see about a block, but this is downtown."
The Goodland airport was not operating and many roads in the area were closed. Crews said that it was futile to clear roads. Goodland and land was covered by snow, so the state have virtually closed down, Maple said.
GOODLAND REPORTED THE most snow in Kansas. The town was buried under 12 inches of snow, and winds gusted up to 50 mph with a wind chill factor of 30 degrees below zero.
Curtis Russell, a Goodland police officer, said, "There are a few four-wheel drives that are getting around, but other than that it's pretty much snowed in."
