Congressmen criticize plan for increasing grain reserves
The Associated Press
The department, wanting to replenish the government's food-aid grain reserves and to improve U.S. carry-over supplies, announced Wednesday that farmers would have the option of boosting their plantings for 190 by as much as 10 percent.
Rep. Pat Roberts, R-Kan, said the move could send farmers "back down the road of low prices and overproduction."
WASHINGTON — Wheat state congressmen yesterday criticized the U.S. Department of Agriculture's decision to allow farmers to increase their 1990 wheat plantings, warning that the move could weaken prices and hurt producers in some regions.
With the new option, producers will be allowed to plant more than 95 percent of their wheat base acreage up to a limit of 105 percent. Currently, farmers must idle 5 percent of their wheat acreage to qualify for federal subsidies under the 1990 wheat program.
The department's analysts have estimated that the option could boost total wheat production by 66 million bushels.
Rep. Bob Smith, R-Ore., said,
"now is not the time to gamble with
wheat farmers' incomes."
U. S. wheat production is projected to increase 14 percent from last year, but total use is expected to exceed production and lead to another drop in stockpiles by June 1990.
Although the country's wheat stockpiles are smaller because of two years of drought, Roberts and Smith said that the department was overreacting to the lower inventories.

ROTC units to honor POWs
Ceremonies are being conducted today across the country and at the University of Kansas to honor and remember soldiers who were prisoners of war and the estimated 2,000 who are still listed as missing in action.
A color guard and flag raising ceremony with KU's three ROTC units is scheduled for 8 a.m. today in front of Strong Hall to observe POW/MIA Recognition Day.
"I was in Vietnam and I had friends who died over there," said MaJ. Jerry Durrant, Navy ROTC instructor. "They're pretty much forgotten by the public until something like this is done. They're not in the minds of Americans."
Ceremonies will be conducted throughout the country at military installations, government offices and veterans service organizations, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs in Washington, D.C. A special ceremony also has been planned at the Pentagon.
POW/MIA Recognition Day was proclaimed by Congress and former President Jimmy Carter in 1979.
Capt. Todd Renner, assistant professor of aerospace science, said the recognition day was important to the military because many U.S. men and women were held as prisoners of war, and more than 2,000 were still missing. He said these ceremonies helped keep their memory alive.
During World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War, more than 142,000 military personnel were captured and interned, according to statistics from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Charles Stenger, director of the American Ex-prisoners of War Association, said 17,000 military personnel had died while imprisoned during the last four wars. More than half of those who were interned, however, were still living, he said.
Local drive hits $1.8 million
By Angela Baughman Kansan staff writer
A $50,000 gift from First National Bank of Lawrence to Campaign Kansas' Lawrence drive has brought the local campaign's total to $1.8 million.
Campaign Kansas is the University's five-year, $177 million fund-raising drive. Campaign officials announced Wednesday the increase of $27 million above the original $150 million goal.
Donald A. Johnston, Lawrence campaign chairman, said all funds raised in the local campaign were targeted for the Ernst F. Lied Center, the University's $13 million performing arts center scheduled for completion in 1992.
The Lied Center received a $10 million commitment, the largest individual gift made to Campaign Kansas to date, from the Lied Foundation of Omaha, Neb., in May 1988. The remaining $3 million will come from the Lawrence campaign and other regional campaigns, he said.
He said the four-month Lawrence campaign had finished on time and that a proposal to seek an additional $2.6 million was under consideration by other campaign officials.
Mack V. Colt, president of First National Bank of Lawrence," said, "We were impressed with the commitment on the part of the local community to the Lawrence campaign and excited to be a part of it."
