Agricultural experts of 14 nations meeting in Rome forecast no bread crisis in 1973.
The experts came from four major wheat-exporting countries and the Common Market nations. Their emergency meeting today was called by the EU.
Some experts caution that transport problems might deprive some areas of available wheat. The U.N. agency told delegates that it was doobleful whether there was enough world surplus to meet any emergency that might arise this season.
Rumors of devaluation of the franc began speculation of world's money markets.
The wave of speculation dragged the dollar down and put pressure on the French money. The state banks of France, West Germany and Belgium have been accused of using the euro.
The speculation came as government ministers and bankers headed for Narouba, Kenya, in an attempt to write new world monetary rules to halt deflation.

Showdown on Tapes Set
White House, Cox Fail to Reach Settlement
By DONALD M. ROTHBERG
WASHINGTON-The White House and Archibald Cox, special Watergate prosecutor, told a federal appeals court yesterday that they had failed to reach a compromise settlement on access to presidential tape recordings.
THE COURT HAD proposed that both sides explore the possibility of permitting special prosecutor Archibald Cox to listen to the tapes and determine what portions were essential evidence for the Watergate grand jury.
They said they had agreed to say nothing about their discussions beyond the notification to the court. The court had set its response for response to its surrogate compromise.
The U.S. Court of Appeals had suggested the compromise, and failure between the two parties to agree set the stage for an expected showdown on the court's right to compel President Nixon to surrender the tapes.
Buzhhard, special White House counsel, met Monday and Tuesday at a final meeting.
The letters disclosed that Cox and J. Fred
In nearly identical letters to the clerk of the seven-member appeals court, both parties said they had met on three occasions this week and regretted to advise the court "that these sinceré efforts were not fruitful."
Participants in the final meeting, which lasted several hours, included Cox; Buzhardt; Prof. Charles Alan Wright, special legal consultant to the President for the tapes case; and Leonard Garment, White House counsel.
The failure to reach an out-of-court settlement left it to the appeals court to decide whether it was a valid decision.
When it originally suggested that the parties try for a compromise, the court cautioned that its suggestion should not be unduly indication of how it ultimately might rule.
WHATEVER DECISION is forthcoming is considered certain to be appealed to the Supreme Court. Nixon has said he would abide by a definitive decision from the highest court but he has refused to discuss whether he would consider a definitive judgment.
The long battle over the tapes entered the courts last July when Cox subpoenaed the recordings of nine presidential conversations about Watergate.
After considering written and oral arguments from both sides, U.S. District Court Judge John Sirica ordered the President on Aug. 29 to give him the tapes to
he in private so he could determine if the President's claim that they should be kept silent is true.
Both the White House and Cox disputed sirice's ruling so asked the court of appeal.
THE WHITE HOUSE maintained its position that under the Constitution the three branches of government are equal and must be held to account by a force president to obey a judicial order.
The Senate Watergate committee also filed suit seeking White House tapes and documents. Yesterday Sirica scheduled oral arguments on that suit for Oct. 1. The White House is scheduled to file written arguments Monday.
Milk Price to Jump, Dairy Executive Says
In another Watergate development, Watergate conspirator G. Gordon Liddy pleaded innocent yesterday in Los Angeles to state charges of conspiracy and burglary in connection with the 1971 break-in at the office of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist.
KANSAS CITY (AP)—A Kansas City dairy executive said yesterday milk prices would increase 15 cents a gallon Oct. 1, and other dairy products would go up as well.
Doon Soottiert, vice president and general manager of Fairmont Country Club Dairy, said in an interview that there would be changes of dairy products in the month ahead.
Long, Cold Winter Due

Lawrence may be in for a hard, hard winter, according to Ted Stimacmach, director of the University's Applied Sciences.
'1 expect we'll probably have a much longer winter this year, and much colder winter than last.
Trees still form a canopy over Jayhawk Boulevard (running up the center of the picture) in the photograph above, taken in 1965. Buildings visible are, clockwise from lower left, Flint Hall, Mallot Hall, old Haworth Hall, Hoch Auditorium, Snow Hall, Strong Hall and Bailey Hall. The canopy of trees since has disappeared, the victim of wind and disease, as the picture at left, taken this week, shows, Wescoc Hall now dominates the area between Flint and Hoch, and most of the trees in front of Flint are gone.
And winter might come much earlier than usual, he said.
"I think even the almread agrees with
"I think there says there will be a blizzard
November."
Stimach said the entire year, with the exception of March, had been unusually cold. Temperatures for the year have averaged about four degrees cooler than
Joe Eagleman, associate professor of meteorology, said the recent falling temperatures were no reason to expect a hard or premature winter.
"AVERAGE WEATHER in Kansas is changing weather," Eaglemann said. "We've been having cooler weather and air, which is normal for this time of year."
Stimach said Kansas had also received a tremendous amount of precipitation. He
Changing Campus
estimated that by the end of the year the state would have received about ten inches
"Once every 10 to 11 years we'll go on a kilk fit like this," Stimac said. "This is really a different year. We've had above normal precipitation every month but one."
From past data it is evident that weather trends repeat themselves, he said.
Lawrence weather seems to run in a pattern, he said. Every few years the weather gets warmer.
This could be the year the pattern is broken, he said.
STMACH THOUGHT low temperature extremes might reach minus 15 degrees this year. Normally the low temperature reaches minus 2 to minus 5 degrees.
R. Keith Lawton, director of Faculty Planning and Operations, said he didn't adverse wearer would interfere with the Memorial Hall and Watkins Memorial Hospital
Concrete is to be poured at Wesco within the next 30 days, he said, but wet weather could delay.
"As I view construction, this winter—unless it is unusual and hits within a few months," she added.
"A long, cold winter not affect those projects (Wescow or Watkins)," said Lawton, "but it could affect work on our new addition to Learned Hall."
LAWTON SAID contracts were presently being awarded for the Learned project, Construction of the addition is scheduled to begin in mid-fall.
"If we had a long period of rain or snow, it would definitely have some effect," be said. Harold Blitch, Building and Grounds Manager, noted the effect on alum and trees on canopy.
"If we go into the winter with plenty of moisture, there shouldn't be much effect."
Production of milk byproducts in those areas is being curtailed by the milk shortage. Sootnet said, adding "some plants cannot afford any price just to get anhold of milk."
The price increases will result from increased wholesale costs of the raw product, Soetant said. He said milk already was priced at $2.45 a pint in East and Southeast, where milk is short.
Midwest milk is being shipped there by "the thousands of loads," he said.
THE COUNTRY CLUB dairy, he said, is already buying milk as far away as 400 miles to meet demands here. Price increases will reflect only what the dairy has to pay the farmer for his product. No other costs are involved. Sooerta said.
This is the time of year when farmers must decide whether to keep their dairy animals on a farm.
"With the winter months coming, farmers are making a decision whether to send cow to market for an exceptionally high price, or to continue milk them. In many instances, farmers are selling their entire stock so they can get a handsome price?" Soetart said.
The cost of feed also has a bearing on the situation, he said. Last year, farmers were paying about $80 a ton for soybean meal and wheat flour; it cost $40 to $60 a ton in some areas. Sooert said
Jack Greenwell, manager of member stores of Mid-America Dairymen Inc., said milk consumption traditionally goes up during the fall and early winter months. But he asked, be said, to entice farmers to the market.
Disease, Weather, Construction Responsible for KU Tree Loss
Harold Biltch, University Building and Grounds supervisor, said this week that the unusually severe summer storms and the high winds are the main causes of this year's tree losses.
Construction, disease and bad weather have taken their toll of the trees on the University of Kansas campus over the years, but the loss of 60 trees this year to wind and disease has made this the worst single year for tree losses at KU.
"Storms have been worse in the past 19 years," Biltch said. "Dutch elm disease and the storms have made it the worst year for trees on the KU campus."
Construction of Wesco Hall resulted in the loss of several trees, Bitch said.
"Almost any time there is a major construction project, the University loses
Because a tree grows as much below
ground as above, damage is not always immediately visible, he said.
"HEAVY EQUIPMENT beating and packing the ground causes considerable damage to the root system," he said. "If I give youoice, heavy equipment would not be used."
Dutch elm disease, Blitch said, has been a problem at KU for 12 years, and he speculated that the disease could be worse than ever this year.
The wet spring weather also caused several problems with trees this year. Blitch said that because the soil was shallow on campus, tree roots often couldn't develop fully, and when the ground was continually wet the trees couldn't resist strong winds.
Wind uprooted four pine and spruce trees between Strong and Bailey hills last spring.
"The wet spring was the reason for the loss of these trees," he said. "Possibly, the
number of trees lost was greater around the Strong Hall area because of wind currents
OAK TREES, because of their sturdiness, were least affected by disease and windstorms. Bitch said. But he said they olive and ash trees were severely pricken
The grounds and landscape crew is responsible for replacing damaged trees. However, lack of funds has hampered them, Bitch said.
"Some of the individual trees we lost were worth $100 to $1,000," he said, "but we didn't calculate the total loss. Instead, we did it with a spreadsheet." We could find on the market at that time.
"I put in a request for new trees immediately after the storm this summer. I am sure we will now discuss the possibilities for new trees. Now it depends on the financial backward."
